Brewster has only scored 20 goals in his whole career. That's not a lot of catching up to do.
He had a little purple patch for half a season on loan at Swansea where he scored half of his entire career goals. since then he's done fuck all. He had a whole season in the Premier league and...
Our bowling attack is very poor, only Archer can cause them problems, and they played well against him in the first innings.
I think they lost wickets by being too complacent against the likes of Woakes and Stokes
A cardboard cut out of Dovin would be better than Collins.
If we dont bring in another keeper before the season starts I think it's fair to say we arnt going to try for automatic promotion (if that was ever a realistic option)
The much maligned Ellis Simms has scored twice as many goals as Brewster despite being younger.
Bobby Thomas has outscored Brewster over the last 4 years.
Our own Justin Obikwu scored more goals last year on loan (granted not championship) than Brewster has scored in the last 5 years.
And...
So you'd be "pleasantly suprised" if Bassette scores16 goals in the next 5 years
Hardly a challenge he's going to lose sleep over.
In fact I'd say Bobby Thomas will beat Brewster's record.
So one person says he must be good because he once cost £20+ million and now your saying hes worth a punt because he was good when he was 17 ????
Take a minute to read the following....
8 goals in 4 seasons !!!!
Now go back and read the last bit again.
Well as long as he once went for a lot of money that's all right then.
No need for scouting reports, or to actually judge him on his record then.
Honestly, the longer pre season goes on, the more bizarre this place gets.
I certainly dont think Brewster has any more potential than Bassette. Even Simms has a better scoring record, and as you say, hes rubbish.
Brewster has scored 8 goals in 4 seasons, so why would anyone think hes the answer to our striking problem? Maybe his woeful record is the reason he's...
Brook was such an idiot. Chucked his wicket away just before lunch. India sucked him in and he hadn't got the brains to see it.
They were laughing as he walked off.
3 wickets in 10 overs has changed the game.
Not to mention 5 defenders and 2 defensive midfielders protecting him.
If 7 of your outfield players are protecting your goal, then it's hardly surprising that you keep loads of clean sheets.
Even Collins would keep clean sheets in those conditions!
Well maybe not Collins. But you get...
