I used to get annoyed travelling to Preston every day when working there. M65 is a mess most days and the M55 is even worst . maybe look at the positive that he is being responsible and setting an example to the other players Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can imagine what people would be saying on BRFCS if I was playing for Rovers though. Think Chris Brown crossed with Miles Anderson, only loyalty could explain my inclusion. Tomphil would’ve already come up with some illuminati esq back story accompanying my signing and Merce would be suggesting you lump on engorged FGS odds due to never actually touching the ball in a game previously... Who am I kidding, think Dack but with Jermaine Jones engine, Andy Todd’s aggression and the antagonising play acting of Ginola (plus the hair).

Bigdoggsteel Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 That's strange, hopefully he scores soon or this signing could incur even more scrutiny. Imagine if he hasn't scored come January.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JacknOry Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Just seems a very odd signing if what TM says is the case. Saying, "Having watched him in training" does not suggest much scouting work was done or that many knew too much about him before we spent a huge sum on him. Was it a panic buy at the last minute? And if we DID know he would be better suited in the three behind rather than upfront, why did we even bother when we have tons of players in those positions already and instead find a proper striker? For me, he has not performed better than the likes of AA, Palmer, Rothwell, Reed or Bennett when playing there (yet) despite not getting too many minutes. So is he being picked purely to try and justify the signing as I have not seen anything so far that he suggests to be there on merit. He does not have the build, pace or flair for that position from what I have seen so far. Hope he proves us all wrong but we are now up shit creek if DG ever gets a serious injury.

He’s a 19 year old prospect, I simply never understand how you assume you know better. There’s giving an opinion, and then there is “@#/? the bed” at every opportunity. It’s 11 months since people said the same about Armstrong. 34 minutes ago, AllRoverAsia said: Depressing post, I wonder what TM's view on Brereton's playing position was prior to purchase/loan......

tomphil Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 (edited) They've dived in an bought a young player they've probably liked the look of for a while because all of a sudden they got permission to do so after he unexpectedly became available, god knows how but we can take a few guesses at that. They probably didn't really have a role for him in mind straight off so now they are trying to develop him and see what he has I think it's all as simple as that. Don't think it's dodgy as in the past but maybe a bit of a knee jerk signing and those who advise etc have probably screwed it as much as they can because our owners were suddenly in one of their generous moods after being pleased with promotion. He needs time but I suppose if you were Joe Nuttall whose no great shakes but can sniff a goal out you'd be a bit miffed to see this lad keep getting on in front of you just because he cost silly money.

He looks hopeless wide and both Mowbray and Brereton will incur criticism if he continues to play him there and play poorly at that. In this scenario Brereton is free from criticism imo. He believes himself to be a striker, it is his coach who thinks otherwise. He played as a central striker for England youth where his scoring record was decent. In his overall development learning to play across the line in no bad thing though. Learning to cut in and shoot etc etc. Playing wide under TM he will presumably have to learn in depth on his defensive duties. I will stop there apart from thinking that Brereton is perhaps thinking wtf.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
