Michael Brown [Merged]

[white.riot]

Come on mate, you have slammed the above three in your time. We've had some fun with Robbo & Killa too

We may as well shut the forums down if criticism of players/managers/chairman is out of bounds

Just thinks without our character of a chairman there would have less pages written on the forums

You can't have it both ways !

I think I just said that questioning a players value [criticising] is fine [we all have our faves/hates] but wading into half the team/management relentlessly is what confuses me!

I reckon it's time the guy got another chance...

Lets go back to the 4-5-1, start with Becchio up top, and sit Brown deep behind Jonny and Adam...

Jonny will still be there to do the running, but Brown will allow him to move forward more often creating a whole new POTENT scoring weapon.

McCormack has gone off the boil, and if we're serious about promotion we need to be ruthless... the 4-4-2 worked for a while, and it was great, but it aint workin no more!

Not only will the midfield benefit from having an extra man in there again, but the team will benefit from having an older head on the field...

Lets be honest, the 4-5-1 worked a treat last season and Clayton, Brown, Lees, White, O'Dea are all improvements on what we had in there before....

If i was the boss, that's the way i'd be going on Tuesday night.

I wouldn't be opposed to going 451 but when we played 451 last season we had Gradel who had pace we now only have AW with any real pace in the side to play off Becchio (who still looks way off match fitness) so we'd have to play AW at LW push JH into the same position he played last season move Pugh to LB.

I'd like to see us switch RS to LW & LS on the RW for at least a 1/2 if LS can't cross from the right then he needs to be offloaded in Jan & replaced by someone who can on either left or right flank.

I said from the start of the season we had an unbalanced squad & haven't changed my opinion I think we need at least 3 player I also hope those players have pace something that is seriously lack in the squad. When I say 3 I also mean net 3 so if we offload some & we should offload a number we need to back fill those positions. I'd offload Chubakka, Kis, AOB, Brown, Sam though I don't see us bringing in 8 players in Jan TBH.

But I don't know if Brown is that player to do the job needed. He hasn't looked terribly fit, even before he got hurt. Would be great if Howson could be able to push forward and not have to worry about covering the asses of the rest of his teamates, and finally put his constant naysayers out to pasture where they belong. I thought Bruce might be the man for the job, but Simon sees otherwise and shipped him out. And who else is out there and available to do the job properly? To be fair though, the prized DM position is one just about every other team in the league is also looking for too. I guess give Brown a chance and see if he can regain some much needed form over the next few weeks.

Well how did Brown do? 4-0 is a big turn around was having him as the 5th midfielder th key?

Had a cracking shot saved in the 1st five mins - gave Becchio his goal and from what I hear, was pretty solid...although forests attack never really showed up - or their midfield.
He let Howson shed his invisible cloak by covering what few chances forest had and lickle Jonny had pretty much a free run about.
I doubt we will see Brown against miwaw, as SG will go back to 4-4-2....

Twiggs you know as well as I do that Grayson NEVER changes a winning team/formation if he doesn't have to! And nor should he, to be honest, after a win like that. Michael Brown has played himself into the team, which I'm very pleased about after the stick he got from this board.

Let him a get a run of matches first before we anoint him and see if he can stay healthy. In his position, if he does well, then the rest of the team usually does well.

On the radio it was commented that Brown never even broke into a sweat.
He had an easy night of it. Forrest did not have an attack. Perhaps the 4-5-1
gave him an easy time of it.

The formation may be more important than individual players.
I hope they go with it again against Millwall.
