Alan Browne

Reckon that Browne and Nuge have scored international goals at a combined distance of about 6 inches.

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

What is more important is where he looks comfortable for us, in our system, and whenever played deeper at Championship level (Sheff Wed at home the most recent example), he has looked uncomfortable and his deficiencies on the ball were laid bare.

On the other hand he’s been one of our main goal threats under AN from the no.10 role.

At the moment for me it’s just a case of him having a really poor game at Millwall and DJ then taking his slot and not deserving to be dropped. These things will happen in a strong midfield area, and I’d rather Browne earns his usual slot back than be shoehorned into a different role.

That was the classiest, most nonchalant tap in I’ve ever seen !

Garner's 4th against Crewe?
"Alright Jermaine, if you insist..."

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

Did it remind you of David Nugents STOLEN goal at Wembley.

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.

Arguably Browne peaked in the home game against Norwich last season and then went into a slight decline. I will say again that of all our current players nothing would strengthen the whole team more than a return by Browne to full effectiveness.

Agree with him fully on that as would most on here I think.

Got to remember the season is still very young. People are acting as though the No.10 slot is DJ's for the next 40 games and Browne is surplus to requirements. AB will play a lot of football for us this season, even out of form he is an excellent player to have in the squad.

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

Don't think he usually wears his North End shirt when he goes to Baluga.

Browne was quality until the Middlesbrough game where he got stuck at RWB for some inexplicable reason and then got nailed by Besic.

With his energy he looks best when we are playing the high pressing game, which we’ve not seen much of lately.
