Start Brewster

He was fine today and he’s been better than Ohare over the past month or so.

He wasn’t even close to being the worst player on the pitch and had a couple good balls to Rak Sakyi. Blackburn were clattering into him half the time, hence why he came off.
Like I said, get those Brewster shaded glasses off!
If he was fine I'd love to see your definition of useless.

He was ineffectual today and offered nothing. End of.

it was a good team effort today. Apart from him. One blocked shot was his impact.

O Hare at least gets involved. Raj Saki caused problems whenever he got the ball.

Blackburn did more than clatter into Moore But he somehow lasted the game out.

You really have a relentless approach towards the lad, don’t you? Did you happen to boo Souza as well?

Blades just won 2-0 with a fantastic performance, yet your first instinct is to log on and criticise Brewster.

It seems likely that he’ll leave the club at the end of the season, especially with another injury today that looked muscular. But while he’s still here, can we put the negativity aside?

Hopefully we can sign 1 or 2 strikers in January but until that point he’s pretty much all we’ve got.
 
Watching him it’s his movement that has to improve if he’s going to fulfil any potential he has. I appreciate that he’ll have played all his youth career with top international players that will put chances on a plate to him. But in Championship / lower end premiership football you’ve got to make more happen for yourself.

You see that with Moore, he never stops works despite things not always going his way. Maybe injuries have just zapped all his confidence to sprint without fear of pulling something.

Its a real shame that its not working out for him, the club has invested so much money in the lad you’re sat watching him desperately hoping he has a stroke of luck - well most of us are anyway! Some moan at the sight of him.
His lack of forward intelligence has been noticeable since he signed. He seems to have no clue about making runs, which is really odd since he came through a top academy. Always seems to be marked or in the wrong place. Like a 5-aside player who doesn't understand football.

I completely agree. While he may have the occasional wild strike, players who have played alongside him, including Basham today, consistently praise his finishing ability. Billy Sharp said this during a sky appearance as well. However, the challenge lies in his inability to anticipate, a skill that Sharp lived on.

Sprinting around frantically for 90 minutes isn't essential if you're smart with your positioning, as exemplified by top players like Kane. It's surprising that Brewster hasn't developed this instinct despite having had elite coaching throughout his career.

His finishing in actual games is awful. He can hit the ball hard in a straight line, so most of his shots go at the keeper. That’s it. He can’t bend a ball around the keeper or slip it in.

To be fair instinct I feel is something you have or you don't, it's not something you develop. A great win and performance today and I don't wanna sound negative about him but he's not good enough is he, let's be reyt, absolutely far from it too.
 
Surely it’s time to put this subject to bed. It’s just boring now. The Brewster haters are never going to change their opinion regardless of what he does. They will always see the bad as he will never be able to do anything right. In my opinion it is an astonishingly childish attitude to have. As one poster has already pointed out, we win a game comfortably and yet there are still those who just want to post bile and hatred towards Brewster. We will no doubt get rid at some point, but you watch he will rip it up at another club and personally I hope he does.

I agree. It seems like a lack of confidence stemming from a prolonged goal drought. If the reports are accurate, his finishing in training is impressive, where the pressure to score isn’t as intense, and he likely has more time to make decisions. Throughout his youth, he was known for scoring goals, and the videos from that time show some impressive finishes.

If this season continues on its current trajectory without any improvement & further injuries, I wouldn’t be surprised to see him in League One next season. I genuinely hope he can find his form again and net 20-25 goals to regain his confidence. I really wish the young man all the best.

It’s a shame it’s not worked out here. I won’t hold that against him though.

It’s strange though because at some stage he clearly had it. You watch his goals from ‘back in the day’ and it’s like watching a different player.

His movement for a striker just isn’t great, I don’t know why that is. Maybe Liverpool knew this and that was the reason they were happy to see him go.

My approach may appear relentless, but that's because for four plus seasons he has been relentlessly poor!

My first instinct was to log on and read and reply to any posts on here. Much the same as you do.

What's Souza got to do with anything????
I don't boo any players. Never have done. All I'm doing is expressing an opinion. Which surely I'm allowed to do. Which is Brewster is nowhere near good enough.

You are also entitled an opinion. I just happen not to agree with it. That's all.

I 'll continue to have opinions on all our players. Which you are entitled to agree or disagree with.

It was a dead leg today
 
Unfortunately Brewster doesn't deserve to be starting, he's had more chances than Campbell and done little with them, whereas Campbell was rubbish in his first few appearances but now looks fit enough to properly contribute and links well with Moore.

I'd have Brewster playing under 21 games as a proper striker to try and get him scoring and get Marsh in the first team squad as he's the best natural finisher we have.
 
Having Brewster and O hare in the same team uses 2 places in the team but together they equate to about 0.8 of a player
 
It's a shame it hasn't worked out for him. He seems to have a lot of good attributes but I've never known any other player to consistently have so few touches of the ball. It can't just be down to how we play, as every other player gets plenty.

I'm still hoping he has a hot streak and surprises us with 10 goals this season but there's been no evidence that this might happen.
 
I just heard Wilder say Brewster has got a tight thigh.
Yes we read it first time no need to repeat. Of course he’s tightened his thigh deliberately cause he doesn’t really want to play. Just wants to sit on the bench/in the treatment room and “steal his wage”. For crying out loud give it a rest this is just boring know and is bordering on a witch hunt.

It’s amazing how many “scape goats” we have in this team. It’s also amazing how ex professional footballers who commentate/co commentate have a completely different view to some of the so called fans. These ex professionals views who made it in the game, been there done that against the views of a nobody who thinks they know it all probably through playing FIFA or Champ Manager or whatever the latest incarnation is.

Ok then. No scapegoating just honest evaluation of performances and contributions. How much has either player contributed to the team so far this season in terms of goals, assists or game changing performances? Not much from o hare and nothing from Brewster which is pretty pathetic for attacking players. Both Brewster and O hare gave the ball away repeatedly today in dangerous areas and actually harmed the team performance. We got better after they went off. If they are not contributing why should they play? Because commentators like them because they used to play for Liverpool?

It's not scapegoating, he's fucking shit, infact he's beyond shit, infact he's even shitter than beyond shit. 5 years is enough time to see that ffs. People judge players way too quickly like some are doing with moore and ohare, not with brewster though, he's had 5 years!!!!!!!, he's horrendous. Easily the worst player to ever play for Sheffield United that has been at the club for 5 years. That is a fact
 
The constant berating of Brewster by a small section of our fans is boring as fuck.
He gets absolutely no stick whatsoever from the stands which is how it should be, just because hes shit doesnt mean hes not trying or it doesnt matter to him, writing on a forum our opinions on him is perfectly acceptable. He's abysmal, but he'll still get my support when he's on the pitch
