Alan Browne

Alan Browne

I actually think one of our biggest problems over the past 3 years has been than neither AN or Frankie have found a way to integrate Browne into the first 11 without weakening the overall team. Making him Captain makes it worse as he becomes even more undroppable.

Ledson and Whiteman with McCann forcing his way in had the makings of a settled three - now Browne is back that dynamic has been disrupted. Probably the best thing for all parties is for Browne to move on to a club that will let him lock down a preferred position rather than him being wedged into what ever role we can find…
 
He wanted a move away abit ago but nobody would have him … so what do we do pay him a fortune and make him captain. Shambles
 
He needs to be removed as captain immediately, its gone from bad to worse.

I think its just not helping him at all in his bid to regain his form. A blind man could see it.

There is one clear captain in that side and its Bauer. I'd love Alan to go in Monday morning and just hand it over, I don't know the guy but I feel like it'd be a massive weight off his shoulders.

I like Browne, but he's only at his best as a number 10. Ridiculous that we keep pushing resources at that position when we should only be starting one of our two highest paid players there anyway!

Stop shoehorning players in. Stop signing fucking 10s.

He's fucking talentless

Yeah, I thought that too but that's how you do it in a Derby. Wind people up and win at all costs. They have a massively superior manager and I think that will always give you a chance when everyone is fired up.

Quality wise, we are a bit better man for man which makes it worse.

I thought there defenders where quite good to be fair. Especially there captain.

Also there wingers where causing us alot of problems
 
I think McCann is a good signing from what I have seen on iFollow, looks like an all round midfielder, even when playing as a 10 didn't look out of place.

Supposedly his best position is as DM, but we haven't used him in that role yet, and a player with that capabilty is definitely needed in the squad.

Browne was our best player on Wednesday and top 3 today. Weird scapegoating.

I thought he was fine yesterday.

1st booking was completely clueless & 2nd (without seeing it back) I thought he was unlucky to be picked out from a mass melee.

Their No 2 wasn’t even booked, Maguire was only booked for moaning & they were the 2 that started it.

We had a lot of issues yesterday but Browne wasn’t really one of them.
 
Played his best football for us as a no:10, pressing high (some engine) and chipping in with goals. He was becoming a real asset but for whatever reason we’ve not seen this Alan Browne for quite some time unfortunately.

Put to one side his Sending off, telling the fans to fuck off and his inability to lead the side he’s nowhere near our best 11 in terms of form anyway never mind captaincy. FM keeps trying to shoehorn him into the side (which again shows his inability to manage at this level).

I quite like Browne. A reset restart needed I believe on order to try and revive his North End career. Take the captaincy off him, as a team get back to playing with a number:10, high press again and give him the opportunity to earn his place in the side.

A change in approach would benefit the whole team not just Browne and on his form and wages we will struggle to shift him on anyway.
 
There was no need for Browne to have got involved with being on a yellow already, he wasn’t the worst on the pitch yesterday by any stretch certainly isn’t captain material. Johnson should’ve been pulled off early on in second half for Ledson add a bit of bite in midfield (not saying Ledson would’ve lasted the game discipline wise) Give Bauer the armband only natural leader

I beg to differ. He was stupid on 2 occasions yesterday which resulted in his dismissal. Why pile into the melee when you are on a yellow card? Not the leadership we need at this time.
