Contenders?

Quoted from ackomariner

Think were on the same wavelength doc, but why can't people post a reply as well as putting a negative cross against the post, just bores me at times

I'm in agreement with your first two paragraphs, but not the last one! For me, Brown started quite well but was hardly running games or being the outstanding player at any point so I'm surprised that some think he was so good. As I recall, back then, a lot of people were claiming Disley would only be a bit-part player last season when he was of course our mainstay and still is!

I'm in agreement with Abdul that Brown never looked to get properly fit after his injury and I think he was generally pretty poor in most of his appearances in the second half of the season. Unfortunately, his operation this season hasn't really given him the chance to get his fitness sorted out either. Hopefully, he will work hard and get himself fit enough to play a good part soon, but I'm far from convinced that he'll be good enough to improve our midfield very much. Certainly not the physically powerful or quick midfielder I think we could use.

Instead of just giving it a negative mark, come back with your own thoughts

I do agree with you on this, crosses are a bit too easy, and doesn't lead to reasoned explanations or debate.

Mind you, as soon as you comment on them you can guarantee they'll build up!

Watched Brown today and it looks as if he is trying hard to get back his match fitness and aggression, bit early for him yet but he can still be useful off the bench but not for Disely
