Brewster

[Houston_Blade]

Good job the reporter didn't ask you the question about Brewster mate

It would be a succinct answer or I could act it out with some graphic gestures

So you pay ,let's say, £230,000, for a high performance motor. It's constantly in and out of the garage for repairs. It keeps missfiring. It breaks down a lot. It costs a fortune to run. Instead of being high performance, it runs like a fiat panda.
For three years.
The manager at the dealership keeps telling you it's meeting all the specification in the workshop. You just need to be more patient.
How much longer before you decide it's not worth having?

About 2 and a half years ago unless you’re deluded

Bit like when Brewster collected his champion's leauges medal and discovered it was a chocolate coin

At least he knows how to celebrate a major trophy:

What’s he going to say?

He could say that the fans are all results oriented dickheads with the foresight of Nostradamus, but I'm not sure that'd go down well

Not really arsed about the negative opinions of Rhian as this is class. Not many players these days make time for the fans and that will have made the little boys day. ❤

Nice lad, that is in no doubt. He's just a crap, injury prone footballer.

 

[SwissBlade]

Fair play to Brewster, that red the other week was frustrating and would also have knocked his confidence.

But he’s played 82 mins today and grew into the game, the communication improved throughout.

For all his energy and endeavour, he was a threat to row Z for most of his chances but he kept going and looked better second half

When Diaz and Archer are injured he’s not a prolific threat, but he’s giving himself a chance…

Though saying all that he looked to be hobbling when he came off so it’s probably the last we’ll see of him this season or he’ll smash a hat trick v Arsenal

 

[ReeceofBDTBL]

Keep starting him. We need to find out how many games he can even start in a row.

If he gets a sizeable injury between now and may, the club needs to plan for next season without him.

 

[Nick Jansky]

Had a good game. Unlucky not to score. Needs to keep it going now for a run of games.

 

[jono_t2000]

Dont write the lad off just yet... that is all

 

[DronnieBlade]

If anyone has a still photo of the incident on half way where he gets away and their lad has to pull him down, I’d be interested to see how far away the Wolves last man actually was.

Looked a red rather than a yellow to me .

[Silent Blade]

Best game since when?

 

[BettingBlade]

You know when people defend Brewster on here and they get people going “What have you seen in him” “Ive not seen owt” blah blah blah, well performances like today are what we have seen glimpses of. Admittedly not enough but theres potential there.

There are many criticisms that can be aimed at him, some not his fault, some are but the lad clearly has ability and he wants to do well for the club.

Injuries have probably put him a couple of years behind in his development as a player. He’s still got to become more intelligent as a player, his movement and positioning could be better at times but today he showed he can give defenders a hard time at this level and its something to work on between now and the end of the season.

Tbh, I’d play him at every available opportunity to allow him to get his confidence up. It really is shit or bust time for him at United but if he can feel fit until the end of the season, he’s in with a shout.

Hmm it’s an orange imo. The fact Brewster knocks the ball on so far kinda helps the Wolves lad out because theres a question over how far clear in front of goal he would be. To me, it made it look just enough like there was a chance the other defender would have got back.

Looked 2 / 3 yards in front to me.

For my money, the covering defender doesn’t catch Brewster. Not one of their defenders had the pace of Brewster, I recon a goal scoring opportunity was stopped with the pull back. Whether that is a red nowadays I’m not sure.

 

[dc_blade]

Today he turned in our best centre forward performance of the season by quite a long way. He’s quick and quite strong and he can shoot. He’s also not bad when he drops a bit deeper. I hope he starts the next game.

The rule is “denial of a clear goalscoring opportunity” so I guess it depends on whether you define it as clear. The covering defender and the fact the challenge happens out wide rather than central is probably why they’ve deemed it yellow.

 

[Broomhall Blade]

The lads alright won me £40 too day, had a cheeky £10 on him to have over 1.5 shots on target.

Same as I saw it too BB.

Really?
Even if it was, it doesn't say very much.

Can I borrow £40?

 

[Houston_Blade]

Decent performance today.

If he plays like that more often than not he pushes himself above Osula in the pecking order.

 

[blades78]

Looked like a professional footballer today. I've been a huge critic of him and Anel, but both were very good.

He definitely does catch him

 

[dc_blade]

It doesn't say a huge amount, no. But I'll take scraps of positives where I can find them this season. As an all-round striker's performances I think it was the best we've seen this season: getting in shooting positions, getting in behind, holding the ball up, linking play, giving defenders some problems with his strength. Something to consider given how little he's offered at times.

 

[s20Blade]

When's his contract up? I'm pretty sure he's going to put the effort him until we offer him a new one then it'll be the usual sick notes handing in.

Not sure that's fair considering his injuries are bad hamstring ones.

He has another a year on his contract.
