Alan Browne

Decent player but never a captain. Would be better for him if he didn’t have the added responsibility

I get this in sports like cricket but not so much in football. You are a natural leader or your not. Having a mature level head and the respect of your team mates is obviously key
 
He was our best player in midweek v Coventry. Reminded me of why he won our player of the season a few years back. However, yesterday wasn’t his best day in a North End shirt. I think the abuse he’s getting is over the top. He cares for the club and wants to do well.
 
It was stupidity from Browne yesterday, not for the first time as captain when his manager is up against it.

However, there were bigger problems on the pitch than him.

As a side note, the criticism of DJ on this thread sums up this season for me. A few weeks ago everyone was raving about him and talking about our midfield as an embarrassment of riches.

Now DJ is garbage. The difference? He was playing more advanced when he was playing well. Now he has been pushed further back. Who’s fault is that? The manager.
 
Not after you’ve played shite and lost 4-1 at home to Hull , why go posting it on social media ?? No need, he’s an empty head 🤪 don’t care if he never plays again for us .

Maybe he shouldn’t have posted it on social media but in all fairness I stay far away from social media anyway. Empty head’s are the ones who look at a footballers social media and then get angry because they are eating at a restaurant? Where you a bit upset he didn’t invite you?

Tell that to all the others that posted comments at the time, stupid reply.
 
Yep I'm sure he thought that in the split second when it went off.

Embarrassing comment.
He ran 20 yards from the edge of our box to be involved in something that weren’t that bad! Your telling me that’s split second? Calculated decision absolute stupid from him!
 
Alan Browne is not a leader, he is not a captain. To get involved in the fracas yesterday and try to hang one on the lasher suggests to me he’s as dumb as a rock. He knew he already had one yellow card against him ffs!
 
I've been saying this for weeks. Completely beyond me why he was appointed Captain in the first place. Better options are there - Bauer, Iversen, Ledson. At least they'd show a bit of passion and bellowing when necessary. DJ did a great job as well, he must wonder what's going on when a) Browne gets back in the team and b) is again appointed Captain.

I'm afraid it all goes back to the management team who make these choices. And, as I've already said on a previous thread, PNE won't spend the money on a "big name" manager.
A big name manager doesn't win you matches. It is about 11 players who have the passion to win. Players shouldn't really need motivating. There are lads on the parks who PAY to play who play with a passion to win.
