That's an interesting thought and, funnily enough, is exactly what all of my York supporting mates said about Brown.


I said this last season and I've seen nothing to change my mind - Scott Brown looks really good in a poor team, he breaks play up, loads of effort etc. In a good team, he needs one more touch than anyone else - an example? - we looked much better at Wembley when Clay replaced him.

I think there's plenty of evidence for that. For me, he turned out to be half the player he looked in pre-season last campaign. And, his goals and assists combined total was way below what could have been reasonably expected.

Brown - potential not yet fulfilled - and if and when he is fit again, probably owes us some hard man performances,

Still missing the central midfielder who can bully the opposition.

It'll be interesting to see how Robinson is used for this month while Brown is recuperating.

I'm not denying that Brown is a bit of a clogger when it comes to ball playing, what I am saying is we have missed that bite in the midfield when he's not played. We look weak when we don't have the ball without him in there, or someone like him. Maybe Robinson is the player to take that role from now on, to be replaced with Clay when the opposition are worn down a bit. I don't doubt for a second that Clay is a better ball player than Brown. Wht we don't have is a battler who will fly into tackles to release the ball for our more creative players. Can you remember Diz or Clay doing that for each other, cos I can't.

Agree completely. Disley and Clay are both good at what they do, but those things that they do well don't include giving our midfield that certain 'energy', something that Brown looked like  he might once have been capable of doing.

Robinson did ok 2nd half last week and we need the extra height tomorrow as most of the time the ball will be in the air.

Has to play 'the best side' not just the side that tries the hardest in training. East at RB, Toto and Pearson at CB, Clay and Diz in CM, The Funky Monkey and Arnold wide and Bogle and Amond up top. We need a clean sheet and a win. Hope we don't get pre-occupied with Liam and get behind the team.

Spot on for me that Mariner_09. Agree wholeheartedly, we can have Marshall and JPP on the bench to bring on and ruin them late on and smash them 3-0.

I would take a 0-3 scoreline and in all seriousness failure to beat these jokers means you can forget winning the league  already.

Well that's not true is it, they beat Barnet twice last season and Barnet still won the league..
