In 2023 he’s played played 38 games for club and country and scored 6 goals. 
 

His form seems to have fizzled back down to the pre-Chile levels.


He scored 20 league goals for us in the first 24 league games after his Chile debut.

From that point he went on to score a further 16 in 56 for us (again league only)

That’s quite the drop off (but still better than his pre-Chile days!)

Hello all. Thought I'd register on here tonight as I'm a Stoke fan living in Chile for the past 15 years, following the local football all that time through thick and thin, completely bewildered by th

I suspect what’s happened here is as follows... Brereton has performed poorly, again, and been subbed off. A few people have made ironic cheers, maybe the odd couple have booed, and a few people

I agree that £7 for an unproven player was not a good investment, regardless of what happens now.   It must be difficult for many of the true Rovers fans here [i just showed up and confess to not

I see BBD played the full game in a 5-0 win at lower league Chiclana in the Spanish Cup today.  He didn’t score. 

Chiclana are a none league team, who play on the costa del sol, not far from Malaga. Ben failed to score yet again, despite playing for the full 90 minutes.

Looks like his confidence is shot and the fans are on his back.

It’s been a bad move for him and one he may live to regret.

We may soon see him at Ewood again lining up for the opposition.

Burnley and Palace also linked.

I would be surprised if he ever gets back to the level he did, when he hit the 24 for us.

His level is championship, so La Liga was always a step too far. If he ends up in the prem he won’t cut it. He may score a few at somewhere like WBA but think even double figures will be difficult.

Subbed off on 66 minutes tonight with Villareal losing 1-0. They are 2-1 up now !

The lad who came on for him, scored their equalizer. Brereton has still not scored a single goal.

Such an odd one, he looked terrible, literally awful at times before his purple patch then even when he was scoring for fun seemed to enjoy a huge streak of good fortune.

Then he settled down but started scoring the odd worldie!

In honesty I really have no clue how good he is but think the truth is better than his worst but not as good as the one season Diaz

When he's on form BBD has shown has a very capable striker at Championship level. He can hit the back of the net with decent accuracy, gets involved and runs at defenders. He isn't fast, but he isn't slow either. He's got good stamina and is a solid athlete.

The problem, as noted many times, is that he's the definition of a confidence player. When he loses confidence he starts snatching shots, doesn't get himself as involved in play and hesitates to run at defenders. I think he begins to overthink things, which is a big problem for a striker. He's been out of form for a while now - he stopped scoring regularly for us at the end of last year, so it's been nearly a year since he was scoring on anything close to a regular basis. Any club that takes him on a six month loan in January would have to hope he starts hitting the back of the net within a few games, or they'll likely have six months of BB rather than BBD.

hypothetical maybe considering finances, but if he was willing, [presumably Villareal would be]  - would we take him back on loan in January??
