Brewster

[Black Cloud]

The worst Blades signing of all time….absolute liability who brings nothing to a game.

 

[Bladesman]

Hardly surprising that someone who has hardly kicked a ball in anger for years, looks a little off it.

I’ve become somewhat indifferent towards him tbh. I’d like him to do well, but would also like him to leave at the end of the season.

I have done the maths and including his time with us and Liverpool the lad has spent 1147 days injured. He has had 4 hamstring injuries while with us.

 

[robbiez666]

It's the same, year in, year out. He has no positioning, the ball just bounces off him, he doesn't think about what he's going to do with it before it arrives, he goes over if the defender farts and his defensive play is solely getting himself between the opponent and ball.

That said great instinctive pass out wide to Burrows during the game. The lad looks like a lad who spent too long injured, its that simple.

 

[HOT CURRIE 10]

Even the young kid excuse is starting to wear thin.

He's nearly 25.

Still young In my eyes but 4 years has passed by quickly with no progress whatsoever. League 1 is his destiny. £36k a week though with us.

That pass was a miss hit fluke

He was fine today. People slagging him just have an agenda for some reason.

There’s been plenty of times to slag him off but it wasn’t today.

That’s my takeaway. He’s clearly not good enough, we can all see that. I’ve defended him countless times on here.

Injuries have knocked his confidence in sprinting & his lack of goals within the first 6-9 months of signing took its toll mentally on his career which was on the upward trajectory when we signed him.

Him & One offer nothing unfortunately and if that’s the options we’re down to with Campbells injury I don’t see where goals come from up top.

 

[metalblade]

I think a new start at a different club would do well for the kid. It just hasn't happened has it? Look how good Campbell is doing now at a different club. He needs a new start.

He needs that new start here without fans getting on his back. There is a saying you don't know what you have till it's gone but United fans or a section of them have been on his back since day one much like they were with McBurnie. He's a good kid who has worked hard to get through bad injuries time the fans gave him a break and some support.

 

[Mumbo]

I’ve heard all the excuses on repeat for years,
some valid and some made out of pity.
By all accounts he’s a lovely lovely lad but he’s woefully out of his depth in a team of our quality.
Whatever he does in training to warrant a start,he doesn’t bring into a championship fixture.
Shame …but we have to move on.

Sorry but I've got to take issue with this. The lads been tremendously unlucky with injuries but he's been supported well for 4 years and other than a cracking goal at Blackburn and a cameo on the town hall steps I'm struggling to think of anything else of note he's provided. He might well be a nice kid but eventually a time comes to wish him well and cut our losses. That's not getting on his back, just reality.

Surely that has to be John Eberell

 

[Northernsoulblade]

I think we all wish he was good enough unfortunately he’s not I like the lad and hope he does do well somewhere

 

[fintious maximus]

What happened between his good season at Swansea and coming to us? He can (could) obviously play at this level.

 

[djbaldken]

Don't understand the piss taking of a young lad very down on his luck.
Nobody within the club has a bad word to say about him. Just our fantastic fan base.

But it's not piss taking! It's people giving honest opinion s of him. People telling it like it is.
Yes he's not had the best of times with injuries. Fair enough.
But just WHAT has he brought to the table when he's been fit? Enlighten us.
No one has a bad word to say about him within the club. Whoopy Fucking do!
How many points has that put on the board for us.
Get real. He's not going to come good. Not with us. Deal with it.

 

[JackSUFC]

How’s Liverpool’s buy-back clause looking?

To say it’s been a disaster of epic proportions for everyone is an understatement. 5 goals in 90 odd appearances. Campbell has already bettered that and cost nowt. £20 odd million and whatever else in wages and medical bills pissed away.

Probably serves us right for paying that based on potential and a good couple of months at Swansea. We were never in a position to do that.

We signed him as a future England star. I wonder where he’ll end up when we release him.

 

[robbiez666]

You have to wonder why he's being brought on and played in midfield ahead of, well, midfielders.

 

[Bladesman]

Injuries.... separate hamstring injuries on either leg every pretty much every season since he signed for us....

A fucking mystery really.

New shirt arrived. Get the fuck in

View attachment 198855

Did it get delivered first time or did the postman need 50 attempts to get it in the letter box??

lol. What would we have had when he leaves?

He needs a new start elsewhere. Because you’d have to be absolutely insane to offer him a new deal. Like.. smearing shit all over the walls level of insane.

Which version of Brewster seems more likely to be the true one? 20 odd games in the weird Civid/training session season or everything since?

No knock on his character, yes he's been unlucky with injuries. But that was the anomaly, not everything since

 

[Keen Blade]

Lad needs a run of games to get his confidence and form back, sad thing is that his body can't handle a run of games

And if we want autos , we can't really wait for him to perform

Not sure the poor injury management under Hecky did anything for him. Players who were not known for being injury prone were getting injured.

 

[Keen Blade]

If he's on the pitch it's fair to judge him, putting on the pitch was poor management and what he did with the opportunity was poor play.

You've got Davies or even Brooks to come on but you choose Brewster ?
Davies looked lively and got us a winner last match.

He played plenty of games in that 1st season and he lacked basictactical knowledge, technical ability etc. I think this has been the worst case scenario outcome for him but I also think the Swansea stuff was fools gold

Who played well in that COVID season? I can only think Didzy.

Not many. Though, season after season of him lacking the basics and looking like he’s won a raffle to play kinda showcases where he’s at.

I said at the start of the season that he should have gone on loan to div 1or 2, with a view to bringing him back in January with some goals and more confidence.

If we had signed another forward we may have been able to do something like that.

 

[Rodders]

I think for Brewster to be anywhere near being approached with a new contract he’d need to be looking at 15 goals this season.
As it stands, it’s another wasted season for him. Released and if he can get someone like Stoke to give him a new deal he’s done extremely well.

 

[Carlton Blade]

Who played well in that COVID season?

But not everyone looked like they'd never played their position before. United were desperate and didn't do the due diligence (he really struggled for goals in his last couple of youth teams seasons) and gambled. It's obviously not paid off and I think it's a valuable lesson for the club.

GLTTL but it'd be the best for everyone to get a fresh start
