Brewster

[Balham]

So he's had one good half in five season's!

My point is that you were wrong about when it was. I want Brewster to come good but I'm also accepting of the fact that it's almost certainly not going to happen. What I won't do, however, is castigate Brewster for being on the pitch as some on here seem to want to do. Whenever he's picked he'll have my full support.

Are you saying then it's only acceptable to say good things about any of our players?
And that any negative thoughts we have we should keep them to ourselves?

Apologies for being wrong about when the one good 45 minutes he had in 5 seasons was.
I'll consider myself well and truly told off.

No? What I am saying is that it's not acceptable to only say bad things about any of our players which is what you do about Brewster. You're not alone in that. Brewster put in (by all accounts) an OK performance on Saturday. He's also on a run, for pretty much the first time in 3 years, of being consistently available. These are not necessarily things to be celebrated but they do point to an improvement which I hope he can maintain.

They do say that as you get older you revert to some childlike tendencies. This is a bit pathetic.[/QUOTE]

You say I only ever say bad things about Brewster. Apart from his 45 minute cameo against Wolves (last season ), when has there been anything to rave about?
I did actually say he was OK against Norwich. That's all. OK. Nothing more nothing less.

You should also note as you get older it's possible you get wiser. I may be old but I'm not senile (yet) . And since you seem to follow my posts you should realise I can be sarcastic and ironic at times. Which is not to be confused with childishness.

As a founding member of the Rhian Brewster fan club who has increasingly clutched at straws in backing him, I feel somewhat of an important voice in the debate


You can say he was a waste of money which he 100% was and also say he brings at least something to the team this season which he has in my opinion he has looked half decent in fits and spurts he has some quality on the ball and has a decent shot.

You can say he will more than likely 90% leave in the summer and also say there is no point loaning him as he does offer A good backup or first change off the bench for any of the 3 or 4 positions behind the striker.


As someone who has supported him and argued with many people online and offline it is time for him to leave in the summer , he 1000% needs a new club that will back him and play him at no9 every week hes been here 5 years and signed as a striker and I reckon he has started maybe 10 games as a striker and started maybe 3 games in a row once


Awaits miserable old farts who can't comprehend a balanced opinion on any single topic to say he is a waste of space and the worst player in SUFC history


In my opinion, there is a very talented player in there who is at rock bottom due to injuries and confidence

Good luck Rhian

When he eventually goes, it’ll be with relief and good wishes. Hope he revives his career somewhere else, but a club like us simply can’t afford to carry passengers.

 

[Dimyan93]

He's got a part to play this season, he owes us that much and he's lucky he's getting a chance to show other clubs what he can do. Which will be a lower level then us hopefully after this season

There's no way he should be getting another contract after this season

 

[Jan Age]

My guess is he could go out on loan if we secure both BBD and Cannon … I can’t see where he will get game time with TC and KM as the other two

 

[djbaldken]

I find it highly amusing to read some of the post here.
Delusion is strong in some posters.
Particularly those who claim self importance.
You would think any well qualified coach would be able to spot players that actually DO have quality. But apparently, strange as it may seem, there are such coaches that cant. Yet they praise players who have been mediocre at best. Thinking that they really are talented.
Which Makes you understand why these coaches are not employed at clubs with any standing

There are miserable old farts who have had the misfortune to have watched players who have been equally as poor if not worse than Brewster.
Chris Guthrie. James Harper. Dean Hammond. Connor Salmon, to name but four.

Brewster was a very good talent when he signed. He's had a lot of injuries that have sapped some of that talent and potential he once had in abundance. I still show support to him because he's dreadfully unlucky, and because there are still signs that he could be a decent striker at Championship level. Above all, I wish him the best. He clearly wants to be fit, healthy, and contributing for the team. I don't understand the hate brigade against him.

For the record, I don't hate Brewster.
I just don't think he's very good. That's all. No hate.
And I don't see the potential that others see.
We all have differing opinions. I'm just offering mine. I respect your right to have different ones.
I don't wish him any ill either. May he have a long happy healthy future.

Surprised Brewster played full game other game when hes likely to start tonight

As others have noted, it was like a testimonial or reserve game, we played in 2nd gear. At least Swansea had a tough match. But any opportunity to persecute Brewster must be taken of course.

Don’t think we had much choice did we with so many out injured in the short, med and long term

 

[robbiez666]

I'd keep him around. Send One and Marsh out on loan.

We have:

Campbell - injury prone
Moore - Injury prone
BBD
Cannon?
Brewster - injury prone.

I think he's useful to bring on late in games when we're ahead. Runs around a lot, quite quick and can pressurise opponents.

Whereever you are on the Brewdog spectrum ( crap/brittle/player in there/ just needs etc etc) , isnt it time to park it, let it go and just hope his last few games are his best ones?

I prefer to hope that he has already played his last game for us.

 

[FinchleyBlade]

I’d give him another year. He’s not an out and out striker but always seems to look OK in a deeper role. Harsh to criticise him he’s had some really bad injuries. Seem to remember him hitting some form in our promotion season and then his hamstring snapping again. It’s not his fault the fee we paid nor the contract he was offered, you can’t hold that against him.

Give him another year? You people are nuts. You're like that old Japanese soldier still fighting WW2 until the 70s. It's over. Brewster will never come good. Just accept it and move on.

It's the hope that kills you.!

For the last five years everyone has HOPED he'd come good. It's highly unlikely this will happen in the rest of the season!

All the best Raul.

I wonder how Mr Wilder feels every time he plays him.?
Talk about raking up your past mistakes ......

Well Guthrie managed 15 goals for us (according to Wiki) so currently much better than Brewster.

 

[Bennyand the Blades]

Funny thing is I remember we paid 1 million for John EBBRELL from Everton,1997 to 1999,
He played half a match.
Howard Kendall signed him and it worked out he cost us £38k for each of those 45 minuets ......

Agree…..at least Brewsters effort and attitude is top notch.
So even if the ability isn’t there…he still wins my support.

Recently he’s put in a string of OK performances, without really looking like scoring
Also as we’re a promotion chasing playing OK is only acceptable for a few matches but can’t become the norm long term.

Hoping he regains some confidence playing at his old stomping ground in Swansea and has one of them matches where everything goes like a dream.

Rarely has a post aged as badly so quickly

 

[Westran]

He needs to actually do something to show us he's good enough, he's had enough time back from injury now and so far he's looking like he's going to be 5th choice striker at best. Hope I'm made to eat my words, not looking likely though

He just completely stopped and watched their man head the ball in from 4 yards out .... But he's not a defender...

I don't care if he does anything all season, people just need to give him a chance
