Thread: Brown slates McDonald

For Scotland, he's been the stand-out player playing on the right side of a three. That's where he played at Hibs and looked the part. We'd need the right players though as we tend to use wingers which ain't a winning formation.

I'd give him a shot in midfield with Ki, Crosas and N'Guemo as a three depending on who and where we're playing. I mean, we've discussed what Brown's good at but we're almost talking about the same player with N'Guemo apart from the fact he's mince in the opponents half! Maybe Lennon should be having a word with him instead.

Aye he's nae good in the centre of a two man midfield usually.

I suppose a lot depends on the formation and style that Lenny has us playing. It will be interesting to see what the craic is regarding this during tomorrow's game.

I would say N'Guemo is a lot better than Brown defensively tbh, obviously worse going forward. I wonder if we will even end up signing him.

as shall i. And well said brown

I wonder if Lenny has given Brown the go ahead to come out and say his. I believe that a manager should be keeping control of what the players are allowed to say in the media, so if that's the case am glad Lenny has allowed Brown to say this.

One ill timed tackle and he's off today.

probably, but if so it will really show the dirty cheating scum posing as a ref for what he is

Big words from Brown there hopefully a big performance to follow!

Unfortunately for Brown 'dig' only gets you so far. He should be able to pick up a few tips from Neil though and hopefully he can add some good positioning to his game rather than his current headless chicken act. I am not sure he has the intelligence to play this role nor the discipline but if there is anyone out there to learn it from then it's Lenny.

I am one of his biggest critics but I hope he proves me wrong. He has until the Summer to impress me

Good post ryan, totally agree on all points mate,hope Lenny does a job for us and it works out with him,even if it means my wee mate P caddis end,s up moving on as Lenny and Paul dont really see eye to eye!:grouphug:
