I agree with this and also not sure he is a good fit for the starting role anyway. We want him on against tiring legs, not being forced into holding play up. its got recipe for injury written all over it.

All the noises coming out of the club are that Brewster is great and just needs a bit of luck... I can see him being offered a contract extension and in which case would be well worth him spending the next few months building up 30 minute appearances. I would actually prefer to see Campbell starting...

I hold no ill will towards him. He's remained enthusiastic throughout a horrible run of injury luck. But this is the time we really, really need the actual skills he has (being a pest, enthusiasm, directness) for the end of a lot of games. It'd be madness to lose that, chasing the player who scored 1 in 2 in front of empty stadiums in glorified training sessions 5 years ago.

Use him wisely (and sparingly) and he's a potential unexpected positive. Try, again, to 'justify' some of the fee by playing him full time and it seems likely we'll be relying on One to play adult football

One of the games this season I found myself thinking, "We need to take Moore off and put Brewster on," and I couldn't believe that thought had even entered my head, but it made sense. Opposition were chasing the game and we needed someone with more pace to exploit the empty spaces.

Thinking about it, I think it was the Hull game when we were 1-0 up.

If we use him wisely, he might end up playing a role.

But at the moment, barring injuries, he's probably a long way off being a starter.

I think late sub, cause a bit of havoc, put himself about etc is what fits him best. More than that is too big a fitness gamble when we have so few options

Imagine if we were positive, he could be scoring 3 a game easily...

It’s not just you doing this for the record, but could people stop misrepresenting the argument from the ‘Brewpologists’ as “oh he brings good vibes and the fans are negative, imagine if he was happy and positive.”

It’s been said numerous times how he improves the team in his own way, and how some games favour his playing style. Trying to portray people who point this out as in this way is silly.

Has it? Who by? How many times is 'numerous'? And in what way does he improve the team?
please enlighten us. I'd love to know. I and a lot of people are obviously missing something.

I’ve seen it in shoutbox not on this thread, which is my mistake, I should’ve specified more clearly . The term ‘link up’ on search does have some praise for Brewster.

Brewster brings energy and link up play, which by the looks of it, he is better than Moore at. Everyone at United has said he is a deadly finisher (admittedly he hasn’t really shown that in his time at club). Could you honestly say Moore has been better than him recently? I know Brewster has only made 30 minute cameos, but he looks better than Moore in them, and the past 2 or 3 games, he’s looked better than O’Hare. I made the original post to ask why fans are so quick to degrade and criticise him for no particular reason.

He’s played well recently, he deserves a start.

He's played OK recently.
Moore and Brewster are different in respect of their style of play.
Moore doesn't have Brewsters pace. Brewster has quicker feet than Moore
But Moore's hold up play is better than Brewsters. Moore's positional sense is better than Brewsters. I e he finds space better than Brewster. (Imho) Brewster can appear to be a bit of a headless chicken a lot of the time.
Moore is more of a presence than Brewster. Moore has at least scored this season. He will score again I'm certain and more than just a few times.
Brewster will probably make an appearance against Swansea. I would be surprised if he starts though.

I also suspect Brewster has lost a bit of his pace with all his injuries. I just want the best for the lad, and I think Moore (or O'Hare) need a break.

Hmmm. Rumour he’s been called up to the turkey national team



He’s eligible according to Wikipedia:

“An England youth international, Brewster has represented the nation at various youth levels, but remains eligible to play for Turkey through his Turkish Cypriot mother and Barbados through his Barbadian father”

Not sure we want him playing more football on international duty.

Beans Roygbiv wasn’t there a chip butty on an international call up? Maybe a bit of doner meat to go with?
 
Brewster made a lot of posters on this thread looks silly on Saturday.
Started and did really well.

His time here isn't over and who knows what the terms of any contract offer might be if he continues to perform this season.

So many pointlessly writing him off. Why not back him?
Hopefully he continues to improve and makes a lot of Blades eat their words.
 

thought Brewster looked more like a footballer on Saturday, some nice threaded passes playing in the false 9 position freed up raki sayki to terrorise the back line

the stats look awful laid bare but of 82 appearances too many are under 10 minutes
last season only 339 minutes in total on the pitch or the equivalent of just 3.5 games

He's done great this season and he's clearly not been rushed in this time. picking up minutes and getting a decent recovery, rather than play for 90 mins in the hope he makes it through and then get him full tilt in training... I think a loty of his injuries came during recovery and training. set him back weeks or months.

Two things this season, so far:
1. fitness been allowed to build steadily with a decent recovery, Wilder and the coaching staff very concious of not rushing him to play more minutes game after game.
2. learning new positions as he comes in. This isn't just Brewster and many have talked about Brewster replacing Moore, but this isn't where Brewster has played this season, he's played in the 10 position in place of O'Hare and also come in for Hamer, i think one of the cup games he was up top, perhaps against Wrexham, but we've looked to get him in behind. I think when we bought him, the intention was to play him on the shoulder of the last defender, this was high sprint territory and was perhaps not ideal for him (or Mousset). This season, we've played him deeper, his passing has been excellent at times and he has the vision to see the pass early and play the ball, rather than working on half chances up top he's linked play. I like this version of him

In fairness to many on here that have written him off, it's from a place of experience as Brewster has never looked fit, never slotted in well and has certainly been disappointing much of the time he's been with us.

Theres a few players i'd like to get goals, but none more so than Brewster. I think that many fans are the same, even if they've knocked him
 
I think he’s crap but even I’m not singling him out after that.

None of our forwards and wingers did well. He could be criticised for not helping with Doak a bit more but when he’s playing another random position and the only balls he had to chase were long ones from Anel and Souttar he had no chance.
 
Start him instead of Moore for me, KM needs a rest, or service, and looks slow if we’re playing long.

——— Brewster ———
Brooks — Hamer — Rak-Sakyi

Or similar. KM / COH isn’t working.

I don’t think it’s working with Moore & O’Hare in that two. I’m not sure which way around we switch it, that’s Wilders job to sort but that combination just isn’t happening.

No it isn't, but Brewster is not the answer.

I would venture to suggest that it might be a good idea to actually cross the ball onto Moore's head, or pass to him when he isn't 40 yards from goal. That might help.

Moore has had some good games this season, is match fit, and had good form last season. That puts him ahead of Brewster and Campbell, who looks incredibly lightweight.

Of course the major problem is we did not do enough re forwards in the transfer market this summer.

Agreed, something isn't clicking attacking wise and Brewster was no worse than Ohare or Moore. Moore has been invisible for a while now and although he's getting little service he's not even winning or holding up the long balls.Wirhout Hamer buzzing around we look pedestrian with Rak Sakyi our only danger
 
Don’t understand why he’s catching stick when the two who are playing the most advanced attacking positions have scored 1 goal in total in 22 games, nearly all starts

He hasn’t scored in the 2 starts he’s had but he’s got an assist at least he plays with intent

I’m no sure what you do with the problem that is Moore, but behind him on Saturday should be Brooks, Brewster and JRS

It’s fine margins. For me last night Campbell has to be in front of his man anticipating Brewsters cross. If that was a Premiership striker it’s 1-1.

I thought Brewster did ok last night probably 6/10 he just switches off for periods of the game.

Personally I’d like to see him given a chance up top, we don’t have many (pretty much no) options up there & he looks sharper than Campbell - this isn’t me saying he’s the answer by the way, we just don’t have many answers to give.

I can’t believe the board tied Wilders hands behind his back at the end of the window. It’s crazy how short we are when it comes to quality in depth.
 
Given how much we spent on him, he’s quite possibly the worst signing we’ve made during my time following the blades.

I honestly think he’d struggle to make an impact at third division level.
