Brewster

This is a depressing thread, which befits poor Rhian's time at the club, and no doubt his own feelings too (an assumption). What surprises me, is that for all the vitriol on here, thankfully, I've never heard the crowd turn on him, which is odd given the overwhelming feelings articulated on this site. When I remember the abuse the likes of Booker, Gannon, Long, etc. received from fans at games, it's odd that RB has never suffered similar. Which is good imo, no point getting on your own players' backs unless it's lack of effort. But in this instance it seems a contradiction? Even this season the moans & groans about Moore have been more noticeable than ones directed at Brewster. Also, the genuine shared delight for the lad when he scored at Millwall, and at the end of the match was touching. For all that has been written on here, I sense a connection between the fans and him?
 

Then why pile in on him every time we lose and he played ?

He was far from our worse player

Because he does nothing.

I can't even say he's shit really, because he's not.

He just doesn't do anything. He's okay. He's fine. He's just there, isn't he?

He's always like a solid 5 out of 10 every time he steps foot on the pitch. He's just there. You don't notice him doing anything.

He might occasionally make a good run or play a good pass but he doesn't do anything a youth player couldn't do or a free transfer on a lot less money.

I don't hate the guy, I've never hated any Blades player ever.

I still want him to do well but he has got to go at the end of this season.

His time is up.

I think our expectations are so low and it's obvious he's trying his heart out. I think fans just feel sorry for him.
 
I think its simply due to the Prince not funding Wilder to get a proper left sided player. I'd be surprised to see Hamer still playing on the left side after the JTW.

And to get this thread back on topic, I'd be gutted to see Brewster getting anywhere near as much game time after the JTW as it would mean we had a very poor JTW.

If you don’t hate him then you must believe he has been a huge success and therefore know nothing about football.

No middle ground on here.
No middle ground? You dont have to hate a guy just because you think he is not good enough at what he gets payed for . I understand he is a decent kid just not good at what he does .Now how that makes me not knowing anything about football is confusing just because i disagree with your views makes me think you have a problem when you read other peoples points of view . Or am I wrong again because you know everything about football ? This site is here for fans to express THEIR views and not solely to agree with your opinions.

I think you've got the wrong end of the stick here mate...
 
Off the bench!

Looking fairly competent is hardly an endorsement. I expect all in a blades shirt to be at least competent. And according to you He's only been fairly competent. Not even consistently competent!

Apart from his one goal this season, exactly what else has he added, on a number of occasions?
And that was a tap in that our lass would have done
 
Every time we lose it's Brewsters fault
I offer hamer as a comparison
I don't go on the forum looking to unload on a player who has had for the majority of his time been injured, I feel sorry for the lad
Guess that's the difference between you and me and I feel sorry for you that you can't make the distinction
Let’s close the thread with a quick sum up ……
As a championship player Brewster is shite

See post 996.
 
He needs to be on the transfer list Wednesday morning, try and get something for him or a loan out, then out of contract in summer so use his wages to get someone else

Try to understand that the views on here represent approximately 500 views, there are 30,000 fans at home games so this forum doesn't express every Blades fans view by a long way.

I think he'll be done as a pro footballer in 3 years time or so... Move to another championship club on a free do nothing, loaned out to league 1 and still struggle. Probably end up playing non league at 30

It's true there are 30,000 home fans and so the 500 or so fans here who don't rate him don't necessarily represent the 30,000 fans views.
But not knowing how many fans are on this board ,I would guess around a thousand, maybe more maybe less.
This would suggest half the fans here don't rate him.
As a snapshot that could be a representative figure of home fans of 15,000 don't rate him either.
My figures and your figures could also be way off too.
 
No way he’s here next season.

If we are promoted - he still won’t gets new contract for Prem football.

If we fail to go up, Wilder will be sacked - so definitely no contact.

Not really worth talking about now as we all know he’s not been good enough. I’m really hope he proves me & others wrong and bags 15 goals in the last 23 games of the season - but I doubt it.

Sorry mate I've no idea how many people are on this board, Foxy could possibly tell us.
 

Made me laugh at all the shit he got on Boxing Day while Moore got zero aimed at him despite being significantly worse on the day. He offered absolutely nothing at all, far less than Brewster did yet seemed immune from criticism.

Thought RB looked our most likely source for 50-55 mins despite playing through illness. He certainly wasn't sparkling but the level of vitriol from some is laughable.

It’s not vitriol. It’s fair criticism. Moore bagged a brace to get us the win at Cardiff the game before and has scored 5 in 18 which is a decent return. Brewster has scored 5 goals in 4 seasons. The frustration isn’t at one game, as most Blades fans accept players do have off games. The frustration comes from 3 1/2 years where he’s done fuck all. Brewster keeps having chances to shine and passes these up time and again. Moore has done enough the season as a whole!

I judge on the game that's being played. Moore was god-awful, and he's barely had a handful of appearances where he's been above average truth be told.

Brewster was ok Saturday. I didn't get the hate. People got upset at a couple of through balls he attempted. One was pretty crap, the other was over hit due, in part, to the schoolboy run his strike partner made. We certainly never looked much like scoring when he went off either.

All we can do is judge him on what he does each game, it serves absolutely no purpose to anyone to rate his performance based on his availability for the last few years. Some sections of fans don't seem willing or able to try doing that.

Good point I stopped coming on here for 18 months because it was so toxic. It seems to have improved during that period with some more interesting debates and conversations. But you’re correct this isn’t reflective of the entire fan base - thankfully 👍
 
Brewster doesn't read the game well and there are times when he doesn't show for the ball or make a run. He was only ok on boxing day. He is not suitable for the 10 role. He doesn't have the right weight on his passes.
That leaves him one position to play for which is the main striker role but Campbell Moore are more effective.

So while he has shown some improvement in his game it is still way off championship level.

You can’t judge a player after each game that’s ridiculous. All players will have off days and days where nothing goes right. That’s part of football. With signings I tend to think they need at least half a season for a proper assessment. Of course players can have bad seasons sometimes and then come good - Coutts and Souza being good examples. The frustration with Brewster is that we’re still waiting for him to put in those 9/10 performances but they don’t seem to be coming. If they aren’t coming after 3 1/2 years fans have every right to question when it will happen as he’s being paid good money.

4 and 1/2 years , your letting the useless twat off lightly.
 
If we were chasing a player that had scored 5 goals in 86 appearances there would be melt down on here. Yet vitriol against Ashley Barnes. Dunt mek sense, neither are good enough

The problems with Brewster on Boxing Day weren't entirely his fault, he was just badly exposed in a position that doesn't suit him. First half he wasn't involved enough, played the odd good pass out to the left but was generally so anonymous that a lot of people thought he was playing on the right wing and were criticising him for not tracking back on the goal when that was O'Hare's job. Crowbarring Brewster in there also meant there was none of the normal link-up play between O'Hare and Hamer which muted both of them compared to normal. Second half Brewster got on the ball more and had better movement but then totally fluffed two easy thorugh balls, which was some of the most glaringly obvious shit play of the match so was always going to get criticism.

He should never have been playing there though, O'Hare or Hamer should have been doing the through balls, with Brooks on the wing offering some kind of defensive cover for the hopeless Gilchrist, with Brewster sat on the bench ready to replace (or partner) the ineffective on the day Moore. Brewster as a 10 ruins the balance but that's a Wilder criticism, not a Brewster criticism.
 
The sad truth is he’s not actually very good.
Wilder persists, because he’s Wilder’s big mistake, and he can’t let it go.
Time’s run out for the lad, at the Lane.
Fully agree, and while p a was at the helm Wilder had to keep bulling Brewster up because as you say he forced the sale to happen. Also, it was the p a who would not sanction wilder to buy any strikers in the January transfer window saying they already had 6 on the books which started the fallout. Also, do not forget when Liverpool sold him they inserted a BUY BACK clause. Will they be coming back anytime soon! 🤔
 

Yep, got himself injured repeatedly and obviously on purpose.
What about the 2 seasons worth of games he hasn't been injured? Is his contribution acceptable in those? If we didn't waste an obscene amount of money on him and paying him a disgraceful amount of money a week, he'd already be competing in league two by now. Mugged the club off we support and people stick up for him
