Hard to separate Archer and Brewster?
Or that when you sign any player it's a gamble. Every club in the PL has spent huge sums on players that have produced fuck all.It would be funny, but I’m not sure what it proves other than most of us are clueless at valuing players, and seemingly so are the professionals.
From my memory, I was happy, but probably because we were making a big signing that Wilder wanted.
None of it moves on from the reality today that it turns out he’s not very good.
You definitely wasn't watching the same game as me, Archer was terrible first half (alot of our fans have mentioned that in other posts) he looked like he couldn't be bothered, at least Brewster was putting the effort in...
Of course he would but, sadly, he'd have pulled his hammy in the sprint
I think anyone with negative views on Brewster cannot be criticised JT, sorry. He's cost us £20m plus and whilst that's nothing to do with him you expect better for a player who's cost that. He appears a lovely lad, he's got a good attitude, he supports the team when injured and that's all admirable but he needs to show why he cost £20m and whilst the injuries haven't helped I can't see a £20m player in there, no where near. He's done well for England under 21's saying that and maybe he needs to be in a side that dominates possession and he has plenty of the ball, I don't know. He seems to lack composure though for me and just tries to hit everything as hard as he can when he shoots and inevitably shoots over. Had he gone through one on one like Archer did I'm convinced he'd have shot over. He really needs a consistent spell in the team to get some form but for a team battling relegation I just can't see how he'll get back to what he did for Swansea unless he goes out on loan in January. I think that might be best for him if we do bring in another forward and/or Jebbo comes back to fitness.
Both are completely invisible to me 90% of the time. Both have a shot on them.

None of it is the fault of Brewster - even those of use who don't think he's very good, or physically up to it, don't blame the lad for that.
Personally I think if Brewster was a racehorse he’d be Pedigree Chum quality by now.
I watched Brewster carefully as it was his first start and I was hoping to see an improvement in how he played. He with Hamer coming with the ball across the box he stood still until the centre half put his arms around him chance gone.. There was a break from Hamer with Archer in support and there was huge room in front of both down our right. Brewster didn't move chance gone. Just before he went off injured he backed into the defender looking for a free instead of turning on to the ball. Chance gone. If that is putting the effort in. You have a low standard. He does not read the game or make chances for himself.
Sorry but I think you are letting his price tag cloud your judgement.
Nonsense, in that case I never got a chance to prove myself as a professional footballer but no one can say I’m not good enough because they haven’t seen me play.
Nothing about his price tag. Its his lack of movement on the field is the issue. When he played for us first he was lost. I appreciate that he has had injuries and the price tag doesn't help him with most fans.
I think the only one that recognised all his weaknesses was Slav. Hence playing him wider and deeper in the hope that he would develop his range of passing and develop his positional sense. Great point re bedding in. We have had a few of them. Moussett, Burke, Freeman, Brewster, Bogle, Lowe, Jack Robinson. Jack came good after a McBurnie a mixed bag. What I find interesting is that the less a player plays the more positive some fans get about his abilities. Berge suddenly appeared as one of our best 2 players when we sold him. A jump of about 9 places.
How about this for analysis.
Archer is free isn't he, so better value?
