The most annoying thing about Brown is his poor distribution. Come to think of it, the whole defence seems happy to just lump it forward all the time. But is this their fault, or the midfield, for not taking it off of them? The Ipswich midfield were very good at closing down and barely gave king/wellens any space.
Drop Oakley/Wellens and get a right winger on the pitch, please Nige
but has a good long throw
Several times yesterday he received the ball and smashed it up the right wing. When he receives the ball in an attacking posistion he doesnt know what to do with it and hasnt put in a decent cross all season.
It's not that i prefer King, i just think Oakley and Wellens are more attacking. King is a good player IMO, he plays a simple style very well.You prefer King than these 2?
Don't make me laugh. His throws are terrible. Oakley took some throws when he was injured/dropped and they were more successful.
I'm sure that part of the problem also stems from the fact that when he does get forward, he rarely has any support, as whoever is supposed to be playing on the right of midfield has gone missing, thus leaving him stranded with few options.

He was?? You sure?? Cos tbh Mr. Invisible could've been his name yesterday for all he contributed in th game!
All three of them were pap.
Typical. One shit performance and everyone's slatting the team.
I think the problem is that we haven't got a team: we've got some good players, but not a good team.
The defence, naturally, misses Tunchev and Berner but, I struggle to believe that anyone could have watched Neilson play prior to his signing. McGivern is young and needs a solid defence to allow for the odd error.
Wellens, Oakley, Gallagher (NP does not seem to consider him a forward) and King, are really all competing for one spot in midfield. We have been unable to procure a ball winning midfield player whilst having signed wingers as if they are going out of fashion, without finding one who can claim a regular first team spot.
Ironically, the attack, which concerned me most prior to the start of the season, is the one area that looks good (cue the sale of Fryatt!)

I dont think you do as well as we have this season without having some sort of team.
We didnt have a team two years ago but definitely do now. Just a bit of it needs tweaking.
Agree - we've got a team that is let down (very occasionally) by poor individuals. Still, we're about 14 places higher than we were two years ago and we haven't got Shaun Newton so I'm satisfied even if nobody else is.
Thing which annoys me most about Brown is he bollocks other people when he makes a mistake. and his backtracking.
Get well soon Tunch!
