Brewster

[Iceybabey]

Did ok tonight but should have hit the target with that chance, that's the difference.

Bombed back 1st half when Sunderland broke on us from our corner- seems to care, I dunno, maybe

 

[coolasanidiot]

Was totally decent- we played well- didn't get the rub-happens.

 

[Bladesman101]

Did well tonight, put himself about and got stuck in. It was never a foul when he shoulder barged one of theirs running through. Great cross at the end that should’ve been a goal. I’ve criticised him when he’s deserved it, and I thought personally he was good tonight. Robinson and Peck cost us the game, Peck is in his breakthrough season and mistakes are to be expected, but Robinson really was poor tonight and I like him.

 

[Kenworthy’s Tash]

Fluffed his chances, cannot score. We didnt pay all that money for him to just run around and try hard

 

[Rochdaleblade]

Looked like a competent player, but I'm still not sure why he started

 

[Nagima]

Brewster played well overall and tried hard.
Shooting needs work but we have bigger problems than that at the moment.
Tactically tonight we were poor. 66% possession but they had more shots on target. We have too many players taking too many touches going nowhere. Wilder needs to make adjustments but why keep swapping full backs. Burrows should be starting all the big games. He is a better defender and more direct going forwards

True. But actually putting himself about and doing a few decent things is better than he’s done in 90% of his appearances. It’s a step in the right direction

 

[utd4ever]

I thought. Brewster was a striker who scored goals. Tonight he played as a meandering attacking midfielder.
I don’t get why he is still here.

 

[originaltrueblade]

Only clear cut chance fell to Brewster we all knew how that would end

He’s not a striker. Thats very clear. I’m not sure what he is but seems to do better when he’s nowhere near the box. Maybe we should try him as a full back

 

[Not so Slim ane]

You say he's never looked like scoring tonight but he's playing in the position O'Hare usually plays and he usually looks even less like scoring than Brewster. I'm not a Brewster cheerleader by any stretch but why can't we appreciate a good performance from him without trying to find a negative all the time.

Not looking for negatives just saying it how it is, he's missed a big chance and I thought he was nothing more than adequate, the Sunderland strikers both looked much better than him.

He would have missed both the chances that the Sunderland strikers scored today 100%

He played well but never looks like scoring.
Missing a penalty and gifting them 2 goals played into their hands, they never had to force the game and were happy to sit back and hit us on the counter.

So the penalty wasn’t a clear cut chance. Yes he snatched at it but let’s be honest here he was one of our better performers tonight

 

[Blademan89]

Had an alright game today tbf, nothing outstanding solid 6.

But there's no excuse for the terrible shot under no pressure, he just dragged it wide poorly executed from someone you'd expect to strike it better.

 

[Sean Thornton]

Facts? Get out……….

 

[Mario1889]

He looked an “adequate” Championship player tonight so a big step up on what we’ve seen so far this season.

Well done Rhian.

Yes gifting the goals and penalty were was poor. But Souza and to a certain extent Souttar and Burrows have been getting back and covering off attacks and limiting the shots on target. For the last month or so we have been exposed at the back without teams taking advantage. Our formation and tactics need tweaking. In possession we don't create or take enough chances. When we lose the ball and they break we are under pressure to get back.

 

[Sheffsteel]

Well done Rhian.

Agree he was decent tonight, neat and tidy with decent workrate.
Not quite as clever regards creativity compared to O'Hare but he gave us noticeably more pace in that attacking midfielder area.

People have been insisting his future lies at league 1 or even league 2 standard
but tonight he did show signs he might be able to force his way into a Championship side.

It's a step in the right direction, so deserves some praise, let's see if he can kick on.

He’s paid to score goals

Apart from the penalty of course….

Brewster also put in a couple of great balls in that forwards should have been in on. He didn’t play as a striker today so he shouldn’t be judged entirely on his finishing. He created more than what I can remember from our other midfielders.

League one next season

You said our only clear cut change fell to Brewster. That's demonstrably untrue and is nonsense, it fell to Moore.
I do not see what league you think he's playing at next year is in any way relevant to the point I made.

Only Clear cut chance in open play and he fluffed it when it was easier to hit the target …happy now

What was the XG on that chance? I mean now we've agreed it wasn't the only clear cut chance, let's investigate a bit more how "clear cut" it was so we can compare.
Do we also need to look at the "he's paid to score goals" comment too, given that's clearly also a lie, or can we just accept that's bollocks as well?

 

[Pollingtonblade]

He's not far off Wolves away levels now. I'd start him again Saturday.

Pretty sure we'll start Brooks, Brewster on after an hour.

Wilder needs adjusting out the back door again for us to take advantage of our current league position. Sounds like he’s after the same old people to grind results out. Unlike managers like Rohl who can get bang average players to play several tactical formations. We are at a crossroad to try and make this club great again but I’m guessing new naive tactical owners will tie Wider down (with little effort) to a long term contract thinking he’s a great manager and condemn us to being a bang average championship club.

We have to wait until the end of the transfer window to get a better picture on it. Whoever had the final decision during the summer did well. Cooper, Burrows, Souttar. Top class.
Shackleton McCallum OK from the bench. Campbell Moore are a mixed bag.
Rak Sayki Gilchrist fairly good.

I think that the biggest worry about Wilder is that he is stubborn. That can be a negative in transfer dealings and in team selection and tactics. If he can improve on that then we should be there or there abouts. If he can't adjust then yes we could end up as mid table.

 

[Toronto Blade]

Wilder 's multi year experiment in Brewster is running down.

 

[diplomat]

Heard during the Ipswich game tonight that they paid 20mill for Delap. Looks a bargain to me. Brewdog couldn’t clean his boots.

I looked him up after watching his highlights against Chelsea where he looked a real handful. His record was quite underwhelming prior to the transfer though. Not sure what the clubs he was on loan at thought of him but it was a brave move by Ipswich.
