Yet again your are talking provocative nonsense. This is a Jacob Brown thread and he's been playing just great - as you would have seen had you actually gone to the game on Friday No he hasn’t. He’s been the clear weak link twice in a row. And that’s been great to see whilst winning. Plenty of others saw it too. We’re slowly getting there!! Jacob Brown always gives 100% but I think the rest of the team has clicked which shows up browns faults mainly his control of the ball, he’d be in my team but going forward if the manager recruits the right players can see him as a squad player or moving on . |

I think brown could be a conundrum for the manger next season he referred to him tonight as moving in to leave space for howver and often mentions the lack of wide players biut ones with his work rate are rare Can see a whelan coming on where we think we can upgrade and he keeps proving peope wrong on the right of a front three Said before he's the Cresswell of this group Whelan is seen with rose tinted specs on here though. He had plenty of poor to average seasons. Just because managers couldn’t sign a defensive midfielder doesn’t mean he was irreplaceable. It just means the managers were a bit shit. We already have a better player on the right anyway. Not if you mean Campbell as your just shifting thr issue across the pitch |

I think he’d be excellent from the bench tbh. Because of his work rate as a defender it’s the last thing you want after playing 75 minutes. And starting sparingly too. He still has a use here but we need better starting regularly. |

We’ve just scored 9 goals against 3 of the best teams in the division and folk are moaning about our strikers.
Unbelievable, Jeff!

Brown is poor. You’d often get poor players who are lifted by a good side. We’re a very good side at the moment, but he, for the most part, hasn’t improved with us. He’s sound when we’re chasing the ball, but once he has it in possession he doesn’t look like he knows what to do with it. He needs to get on the same strength plan as Axel.
Also, the number of silly fouls he gives away is frustrating too.

Thought Brown and Gayle were poor tonight (thought Campbell was excellent). The systems working really well but could be even better with 2 better players up top. Gayle has been dissapointing on the whole and Jacob despite the effort is limited technically. If we want to push on next season we need better versions of them. I’m not as sure now that we have to have a target man but we need options. Hopefully with another year in the bank Tezgal could be another option next season. |

You absolutely don’t. The people who watched it at the ground didn’t see the blatant penalty we should have given away and thought Bonham made a good save when Tuanzebe blocked it 😂😂🤦♂️ Yet again your are talking provocative nonsense. This is a Jacob Brown thread and he's been playing just great - as you would have seen had you actually gone to the game on Friday You do realise that what Bayern saw on TV is exactly the same as what he would've seen if he was able to go the game, albeit with replays and different camera angles? He's not wrong about Brown, I thought he was pretty poor last night and I like the lad. |

The better we get the more his limitations are exposed, handy squad player, cant fault the attitude, but he really is as bad technically as you will see at this level

He's not a player who should be controlling the ball in tight areas though, he's been pushed into being more involved in build-up in this new role on the right. His strengths are in how good he is at finding space in the box when we have the ball and pressing defences. Any player should be able to trap a ball no matter where they play He can trap a ball |

He's obviously a good footballer, come on. He's a pressing striker playing on the right and he's been part of a really good off-the-ball team when we press. He's out of position and still playing well. He isn’t though is he? He genuinely struggles to control the ball about 40% of the time. Out of position? He’s best on the right. I can't say I agree about his position, his movement in the box is really good for this level and he's a huge threat when we have the ball wide in particular. He'd be my starting striker next year unless we can pick up someone really good for our budget after signing the rest of the players we need. |

He's really not a very good footballer, is he? Never has been never will be but if I was choosing to get rid of one of that front three it wouldn't be Brown and I really don't rate him at all. |

It's a tough one, Brown really isn't good enough at all and we need to get rid if we want to move forward... BUT... He is the only realistic option for that position in the formation we are playing. Dwight Gayle also needs to be replaced but it's working as it is at the moment. Bonham, Gayle, Brown and Fox are our "weak links" |

Overall, we did very well last night and were unlucky not to win but Jacob Brown was awful in terms of individual performance.

Trouble is in a 4 3 3, who replaces Brown. From the limited game time of Celina, his work rate or physicality isn't sufficient to warrant a place above Brown, then if we swap Campbell to the right, who replaces Campbell?..

Much as his ineptitude as a footballer frustrates the hell out of me, given our current options Brown simply has to play, you're dead right about Celina. I'd want to get a fit Powell into the front 3 as I don't see him getting into the midfield but that would be instead of Gayle atm. |

He's doing a job at the moment. However there's a few who will be struggling next season, and he's one. Decent squad player but if we want to progress we need better

I agree he is frustrating, too often what he tries to do doesn't quite come off. But I think he's an intelligent footballer and does essentially see the requirements to progress individual moves and he never shirks his team duties. We definitely need better, I can't disagree with that, but I'll be disappointed if he isn't retained as part of the squad. |

I thought Brown was OK last night ,not great but OK.
However the 2 incidents I'll remember most are the missed chance and him being caught completely flat footed when Campbell played that teasing ball across near the end.
