Rhian wanted to be injured for 2 years and face the prospect of his football career being over. Every players dream to get that insurance pay out. :rolleyes:
He dreams of the treatment table, he’s set out to defraud the Blades, don’t you know?

Get behind Brewdog. He’s a Blade and deserves the backing of the fans.

He stole the treatment table. Blaster can't use it!
 
Those that round on single players and cannot wait to tear them down are very weird individuals.

Some of our younger fans need to think themselves lucky they get to see us signing players for 20+ million i remember back when I was younger If we spent over a couple of hundred k we were pushing the boat out.

And flair players and players with proper. Technical ability we never paid for they either came through the ranks or on a free.

And on the whole the majority of the fan base accepted that we didn't have a pot to piss in and we got behind the team.

A game that sticks out in my memory that exemplifies this was Wigan away during the days when Wigan had the likes of Jason Roberts and Nathan Ellington tearing us a new arsehole not to to mention they had Lee McCulloch and Jimmy Bullard and Leighton Baines to name but a few.

We knew we didn't stand a chance against one of best strikeforces the championship has seen.

And we knew our strike force in Ward and Lester were no match but we didn't start absolutely hammering them the way some of our fans do Brewster and others.

The younger fans these days don't have a clue how lucky they are they should focus their energy on getting behind Brewster the lad has had some serious injuries and fans of our club especially should be mindful especially after what happened to Armstrong having to retire at a young age.

Our club is going through a Golden age in comparison and instead of bashing the players they should be thankful of where we are because things could be a hell of a lot worse.
Ah the old. “We used to be worse so don’t complain” argument, used regularly by older fans who can’t stand to read the opinions of younger ones.

Of course everything was better back in’t day and no one ever moaned about anything.

I don’t think that’s an accurate summary of what he’s saying. The “younger fans” comment surely relates to what they’ve seen us achieve in more recent years compared to say 60’s to 80’s.

It’s more about lambasting players - and it’s always happened before someone jumps in with both feet - week in week out even during games followed up by the same old same old afterwards. He is improving but personally l feel the improvement needed to keep him on is unlikely. I get his form gets to some, whether it’s frustration or, as at least one poster has said, hate but the £20+m reasoning is bollocks. The club - whoever was involved - has the blame for that, not the player.

Plus one has to bear in mind the attitude towards the club in general from some posters is permanently negative. See Cannon for the most recent example.

James Beattie "he only scores penalties and free kicks" was regularly quoted on Bladesmad forum😄. Scored 34 goals in 62 games for us in his first spell.

The difference now is that players get lambasted online and it’s there for all to see. In the past they were just discussed in person.

The thing with our players though is that you rarely hear abuse in person at games, this seemed to be much worse in the past in my opinion.

Yep. Makes you wonder if these people actually watch United. I find it odd that if a player, let’s say Brewster, fails to get a relatively easy shot on target someones hate meter will have them on social media shouting he’s crap etc within seconds of it happening, then monitoring him rather than taking in the actual game. And let’s have no “l can multi task” bollocks by some, no one will take that seriously any more than they will the “l watch lots of football” claims to make us believe their outlook is valid.
 
Been one of our best players being dropped for the Hull game was baffling to me.

Hopefully he will continue playing well and earn a new contract.
Nothing baffling about him not starting the Hull game, hadn’t he played big parts in the previous two games within a week, he was never starting the Hull game. But as you say, he’s playing well and looking much fitter (recovery is generally where he’s struggled)
 
Weirdly, Cannon and Brewster would probably work well in a front two as neither perfectly fit a lone striker role, but bringing in both Cannon and BBD means Wilder has gone back to his barmy idea of Brewster as an attacking midfielder, which then pushes O'Hare out of position and we have no real width. Presumably Brewster will be the one who drops out for Hamer next week.
I found the formation / setup odd yesterday, we had O’Hare, BBD and Brewster all playing but none in their natural positions.

On Brewster he’s contributing a bit and playing wherever he’s asked to for the team but I’m sorry he shouldn’t be starting games for a team going for automatic promotion. He is still an obvious weak link in the team & any talk of a new contract would seriously worry me (same for Robbo) - we need to cut our losses.
 
Looking at the body language after Hull went 3-0 up, no-one's head went - given the type and mentality of players we sign it would be disappointing if it did - but Brewster's attitude stood out for me. It's not like he was, "We're still in this lads," but I think I'm right in saying he got hold of the ball, took it to the centre spot, and wanted to get on with the game. I've not checked on SUTV, the whole thing is too traumatic, but I'm pretty sure that's what happened.

Does this make him worth £23m? On balance, probably not, but he's not a useless, workshy scrounger either.*

*Fill in joke about Liverpool here.

I never said they can't complain but it helps to know your history and understand where we have come from as a club.

I don’t get this attitude of “we used to be rubbish so let’s not expect too much”.

The flip side of this is that without a set of fans who want to improve how will the club go forward?!

We used to be rubbish at times and good at others. We should expect better, but only within the realms of what this club can realistically achieve.

That’s fine, if what’s realistically achievable is being a yo to team then so be it, with some investment and clever recruitment we can push on and become a PL regular though. As fun as being a Forest fan must be at the moment I don’t think committing the resources and cheating financially are the way to go for us.

Absolutely this-Brewdog been far from a good signing - but his attitude cannot be questioned, I've seen lots of quotes on here saying he doesn't try-that's an absolute load of bollox. The lad tries his heart out every time- it may lead to nothing - but as a supporter I have to say he's honestly a 100% trier so for me he's an100% decent lad.

If I could wish success on anyone it would be Brew because he is so likeable because of this attribute.

I think it is realistic to be more than a yo yo team, but probably never a regular top 6 side.

I am not saying that at all, we should always strive to be the best we can be and I agree that we should always push to improve.

The point I was trying to make is some just have seriously unrealistic expectations.

I have seen a few people saying it is the same old same old.

Yet we have spent 10m on Cannon which is 6 million more than we have ever paid for any player in this league.

So they have shown a statement of intent there.

If we get promoted to the Premier League the proof will be in the pudding with how much is invested and the calibre of player we bring in then.

Wilder has also said his work off the pitch has been invaluable and his influence and positive attitude even in the face of such adversity has been a great help.
 
I will always think it’s ridiculous the grief he got. His price tag and whether or not he has or ever will live up to it is completely irrelevant to what he brings to the team. He’s been one of our better players for a while now and that’s what matters.
His price tag and more importantly his wage is entirely relevant to what he brings to the team.

The amount of money that he has essentially siphoned away from the rest of the club cannot be ignored. He’s been better in recent weeks but that doesn’t mitigate the complete waste of space he’s been for 80% of his time here- regardless of ‘good vibes’.
 
He’s been pap for 99% of his time here and I’ve said as much multiple times.

He played well when he came on and definitely helped us win the game. Today he gets credit.

PS CHRIS THIS DOES NOT MEAN HE MUST START THE NEXT GAME
 
It certainly isn’t irrelevant! If cost v output is irrelevant then I’m going to demand a massive salary increase Monday morning. Good assist today but missed an absolute sitter. Could get much better for 35k a week
All about opinions

Mine is it was unlucky

He hasn’t played bad of late, certainly adding a little more consistency to his play, admittedly the bar was set lower than it should be

Who gives a sh*t about the wages and price tag ffs you are going off like we spent 40-50m on him.

Labelling him as a waste of space is a disgrace too he came into the club and then has been seriously unlucky with injuries and been in and out of the team.

Now he is consistently getting a run of appearances he is playing great football.
