Love or hate him you have to admire the lad. Always puts a shift in will do whatever is needed of him. Playing 90 minutes at right back is no mean feat, especially when Millwall knew he was a CM and tried to exploit our right flank. He's not the most gifted player but he doesn't lack spirit and determination. A proper player and the sort we want to keep around the club.

How many players have played in as many positions as he has this season?
 
I don’t know why there is a scapegoat every season. Poor Alan is the one chosen to be the one for 2017/18 season. Personally I think he is a good player and doesn’t deserve anywhere near the slating he gets.

Think flippers the one who has to pick a player out and constantly bully him. I remember him from the old forum when his/her name was flipper brown snout. Just as obnoxious then.
 
Maybe he will be asked to play in goal at some point. Was Hugh McIlmoyle our last outfield player to don the jumper as opposed to The Shirt or has anyone else done so in the intervening years?

If you’re talking outfield players taking over from the goalkeeper during a game, I can remember Ainsworth and Norbury doing it in the same season - and Willie Naughton took over from Stuart Cameron when he went off injured on his only ever appearance in the first team.

I was - thanks to you and Mancunian for reminding me of instances where it happened. Re Browne - you know he was OK at right-back yesterday and if we do sign this fellow from Oxford then with Pearson, Johnson and Harrop on-board as well then it may be that Browne could be used there a lot more.

I agree, he certainly has the energy and drive to flourish there.
 
Never known a player create such differing opinions , maybe mark rankine before he got fit.. Throw your own name in ...
