Why in god's name did he need to get shoe horned back in? Johnson, Whiteman and Ledson works.

At least we get a break from him for a bit.

It was a mad decision to make Browne captain when he has no leadership skills. It's not the sort of thing you can just undo now either. Not sure if it's the hip thing or what but he looks shite now.

The Browne fanboys are quiet tonight.

He’s our captain as he was at Middlesbrough last season. For me he shouldn’t be getting sent off whether frustrated or not.

Yeah the Middlesbrough one was schoolboy stuff as well. Of course the Boro player was a disgrace but you just don't get played like that.

Yesterday I found really strange that he got in the melee, just pull Seany away from the trouble, particularly when you are a) on a yellow and b) not an automatic starter any more.

He is a player with talent and can be really good on his day but it's been a torrid few years for him now. I'm just a bit sick of him to be honest and wonder if he isn't an option to cash in on.

Jesus Christ,🙄
He’s not a fucking robot and it’s not like he’s left us with 10 men for half a game, it was the 96th minute.
He was the only one who looked like he gave a shit yesterday and ran himself into the ground. He’d just watched his mate get nailed in a tackle and was probably fucked off we’d lost to those twats.
Some of the comments about him are embarrassing

And any player might react the way Browne reacted.

But a captain, on the other hand, would keep a cool head, and take that player aside and have a word with him before he did something to get himself sent off.

That's the difference. We need that cool head under pressure in the captain's role.

Browne is a good player, but not a good captain IMO.

I’m wondering if there is something much deeper going on with Alan Browne, I’m not his biggest fan, but some of his actions, lately lead me to believe he is troubled by something. Maybe he needs to take a step back for his own sake?

Really?
He came back on Wednesday and played well.
He was our best player yesterday for me also.
Nothing to see here I don’t think.

Fair points and ordinarily I think Browne would have a calm head. As we all know, yesterdays game was a very different atmosphere.

Do I think Alan Browne is a good captain? No but that’s because he isn’t really a leader on the pitch. He doesn’t shout a players or tell them where to be etc.

However Roy Keane used to be the expert in sticking up
For his team mates. Their guy went in on Maguire and Browne thumped the fucker.

People are saying captains should know better and shouldn’t be getting sent off are talking nonesense when the best captain in prem history used to get sent off on a regular basis.

The best captains stick up for their team mates no matter what and that’s what Browne did yesterday.

He also was our best performer. He gives a shit and seems to be scapegoated. Why don’t we have a thread on DJ who once again was non exsistent or Sinclair or Hughes etc

100%. He shouldn't be captain & there's a strong argument that shouldn't even be in the team.

He's (quite rightly) got slaughtered on here at times but to hang him out to dry like some on here want to do for yesterday's performance is quite frankly laughable.

Yeah the 2 bookings were stupid to put it mildly but in terms of the game itself he was absolutely fine. As @RibbletonWhite says there were far worse performers yesterday than Browne.

Are you fucking kidding me? DJ's form this season has been something Browne hasn't shown in years? Big Pat is the reason we aren't bottom of the table? Is this a joke?

You can't watch the games if you think DJ has been on form this season.

Another one who is vastly under performing.
