Alan Browne

[OB1]

Just scored his first ever Ireland goal against Bulgaria. Get in Browney

 

[Mancunian White]

Get in Browney. Hopefully it's the confidence boost he needs to pick up form again for us.

 

[LancasterRed]

Not his first, but first in an international fixture - scored a cracker at Celtic Park last season.

This one? Not so much. But it'll be a big boost to his confidence.

Yeah that was a tribute match wasn’t it. Can’t remember for who? Walters?

Scott Brown's testimonial - Celtic (plus Mulgrew and Larsson) v Ireland

Played well tonight Browne. Played a lot further back that he does for us but spread the ball about well.

Cheeky tap in for the goal but it needed putting in

That’s the one!

Shamrock Rovers' Jack Byrne looked alright when he came on...wonder if the Riddler was watching ?

Weren’t we interested in him when he was on loan at Oldham

He’s worked his way down the leagues and ended up in the LOI. Would just be another Burke. One to avoid.

Indeed. Let’s hope the Riddler gets that memo this time.

I was mostly joking but he got 2 assists albeit against a very poor Bulgaria side

Just watched Mick McCarthys interview on RTE sport...was very impressed with Browne.

Hopefully give him that extra bit of confidence for when he next pulls in a North End shirt.

As should be the fact that despite not quite being 'on it' and that we're now (rightly IMO) playing DJ in the 10 role Browne is actually the only player to have played some part in every game this season.

Yes - Browne's relative ineffectiveness this season is puzzling. He does not seem to be carrying an injury, he carries himself confidently and he has the honesty to admit that that he has not been playing well. But something has not been right - as AN has recognised by benching him. What that is seems unclear but it seems to be psychological - hopefully at some point whatever has been missing will come back.

Last night he was playing in the role that Pearson plays for us and looked much more comfortable.

Lets hope that goal has helped to build his confidence back, it that's what has been missing from his game and helps his performances for North End.

That will come in handy then several times during the season 🙂

He hasn't been playing? He's played Gally/Pearo and preferred Johnson in the 10. Browne has filled in at right back v Hull & Forest. I wouldn't have gone with Johnsonnin the 10 as Browne got 12-13 goLs last season but for now, it's worked.

Think Browne can play there wheb we need a tougher spine and he can obviously fill in for Pearo when he is suspended and Gally where in need of a rest.
