Brewster

[Davalon]

Thought he was the best player on the pitch until he got injured.

Went down right in front of me and I knew he'd done his hammy. Kid looked absolutely gutted.

 

[Tony_Kaufman]

Gutted for the lad. He was starting to look like the player we'd hoped we'd bought. Fingers crossed that he's back soon.

He's scored 3 goals in his last 6 matches, and 3 in his last 5 starts (excluding today), including 2 match winners.

 

[FriethBlade]

Is it the same hamstring as last time?

 

[Iceybabey]

Reckon he'll be out for at least 6 weeks

 

[jono_t2000]

Originally they said his previous hamstring injury was long term but that Brewster had healed really quickly ahead of schedule (some speel about some players having good genes or summet)

Has that damn physio done a JOC v2.0 on us again and brought him back too early when he actually hadn't fully recovered???

Just seen it is the same leg but they are waiting for the scan to see if it's in the same place.

Hard to know if he came back too soon as its not like it happened in his first match back. However what is clear is hes gotna weakness in that leg.

from the tv replays he didn't pull up immediately after he put the cross in but the first/second step after, hopefully and it might be clutching at straws but that's good news

 

[Hillsboro Blade]

Hope it’s not bad. He leapt over the advertising hoarding like Colin Jackson giving his shirt to that kid. If it was really bad he’d have got over the hoarding like me getting out of bed for a piss at 3am.

 

[Blade58]

Typical. Just when the lad was looking like we all expected when we brought him in, a real threat, he goes and gets injured

The Gods are looking down on us, but aint smiling

 

[Wards]

If it were a tear then he wouldn't have been walking around the pitch as well as he was afterwards. Did mine a few years ago and it was absolute agony Hopefully just a strain and him playing it a bit safe.

 

[Yogi]

Bit of praise for just him as a bloke was clearly incredibly frustrated and gutted to be coming off after really hitting a vein of from but he managed to deal with those emotions and still give his shirt to a youngster in the crowd. Showed a good level of maturity and I’m sure made a young blades night nice touch Rhian

 

[Gin&Juice]

Looks a player. Great footballing brain.

 

[CopenhagenBlade]

You have to give him credit for his mental strength as well. After last season where he was bought for a huge fee to score goals and ended up playing in a team that isolated him up front and if he was lucky, he got a ball to chase every 30 minutes or so. He then had the pressure from the media and his own fans, let alone the opposition, to contend with. He then started this season playing in a system that nobody understood. Finally we play positive, aggressive football and he scores a couple of goals , gains some confidence and he looks like the player we expected. A lot of other players might have been broken by the past 18 months. He could have taken the easy option, taken his salary for 5 years and tossed it off, so credit to the guy. I hope he becomes the striker we need and look back on his career when it ended, as successful

Hecky said Brewster felt his hamstring. So it may have all been a precaution rather than anything too serious.

 

[BrayfordsBushyBeard]

I am glad we signed him on a 5 year contract because the first year was a complete waste of time ! The guy is looking good because (like I always said ) play him up front for a period and he will score ! He does look to have a great footballing brain too , his link up play and his runs have improved massively under Hecky who deserves big praise for the turnaround, let’s hope he can weave his magic on Berge too !
As ever UTB !

 

[Micky Narker]

Hopefully his hamstrings can hold up long-term.

 

[Black Cloud]

Really....improving but hardly a “footballing brain’ , for the past 12 months he’s been the polar opposite....
Credit where it’s due though - getting better....hope he doesn’t become a crock...

[varkanoid]

20+ goals this season if he stays injury free.

Looks really lean mean and fit

He's got a confidence about himself he never had for the first 18 months

 

[Harry's Game]

Need 15 - 20 goals out of him this season, we can’t rely on Billy to play all the games especially as the ludicrous World Cup break is going to mean a lot more Saturday / Tuesday weeks of fixtures

 

[HarryHaslam]

Fancy him to be the main man firing us up this year

 

[Sean Thornton]

With our luck 40+ goals and the buy back clause kicks in and we just get our money back. YHIHF

 

[AgaMonkey]

Does anyone know if he’s close to full fitness? It’d be great if he’s ready to start at the beginning of the season

 

[Bladeloyal]

He will be ready for the start fingers crossed

 

[mcbladeface]

Would be about right. That said anyone know if the buy back clause lasted indefinitely or was there a time limit?

 

[Bladesman]

We really can't rely on Billy to do it all again. We could do with a striker on loan.

 

[bladesmanluke]

I think I remember it being about 40m. Liverpool aren't spending that on him even if he hits 30 this season.

 

[Gin&Juice]

Be like R9 at Barca

 

[JPSharpy93]

Looking forward to Brewster, Ndiaye, Bogle and Doyle combinations. Hopefully a Berge in there too
