    Fed up with him not delivering. He is a good player but he hasn't shown it for a long time. Only good thing he did this afternoon was slate N'Guemo (who has been even worse for us). Why are these 2 numpty's playing in centre midfield when we have perfectly able deputys on the bench? At least put Ki in for Landry.

    You think Ki is an able deputy for N'Guemo? He has looked like a fish out of water.

    Brown had a decent second half.. Rather than play the first pass available he seemed to hold it a bit longer before releasing it like when he played in Naylor to put in a cross.. Brown does a lot of running the width of the pitch when he has the ball rather than straight towards goal which is something I'd like to see change but think he done okay today.. He's definately a favourite of Lenny's and Lenny mentioned after his first game in charge that he's been working with Brown and trying to get him to choose which runs and passes to make rather than just rush into it..

    rubbish when has he performed badly if anything I was pleasantly pleased with his performances .

    But we have to understand people our working with these guys everyday and see things we dont so there is a reason if you our sitting on the bench.

    He is sitting on the bench for 2 reasons. Firstly he isn't good enough to start over N'Guemo and secondly he is under 21.

    He needs much longer than he has had to adapt to Scottish life never mind Scottish football. He hits a decent dead ball and that is it, he is a yard off the pace and doesn't like being tackled despite being 6 feet+.

    Miles off topic anyway, so yeah, hopefully Brown keeps this up if not for the benefit of Celtic then for the benefit of his resale value in the summer.

    I agree we don't see the full picture like the backroom staff do but a player could be the best trainer in the world but if they're playing * on the park then they deserve to be on the bench tbh.

    He really was poor today, can't believe some folk are giving him a great review.
    First half he went totally missing, second half all he did was go on 2 or 3 runs and that was it.

    Fair play to Lenny for giving him a confidence boost with him being a captain himself and so therefore knows the importance of having a leader on the park but even he will know that Scott has a * of a lot to make up for this season.

    Lenny might be the making of him.

    i can't see how anyone thinks he had a good game. couldn't complete a pass. daft challenges giving away stupid fouls. completely out of control. he got in n'guemo's ear but other than that, what has he done. i'm sorry nothing there for me

    The fact many people think today was his best game of the season just shows what an average player the guy is.

    Never a captain, never a great player.

    Should be first out the door.

    Im going to get slated for saying this but I like Brown, always have, I think he has real passion and fight in him, played very well yesterday, People moan because he gets stuck in and gets booked alot, would you rather have someone like N'guemo who is soft as *? Never seen him have an arguemnt with any player! Nothing wrong having a hardman in the middle, as long as you have someone alongside you who has the cretivity and you have a winning formula. I understand too many games this season he has been like a headless chicken but hes head and shoulders above Crosas and N'guemo imo.

    I think one of the main problems is that you cant play Brown and n'guemo in the middle together , both lack creativity.

    Since brown is captain (somehow) Lennon needs to drop N'Guemo and put crosas or Ki next to Brown so we can actually get some proper passing on the go

    Keane would greatly benefit if there was a player in the middle that was capable of spotting his runs and putting the ball in the right place for him.

    same, although i believe along with fortune people expect more due to the over inflated price.

    would prefer him & crosas WHO HAVE NEVER LOST A GAME AS A PARTNERSHIP if my memory serves me right, n'guemos * and can gtf

    Spot on mate, dont understand why they are not playing together to be honest, N'guemo is terrible, reminds me of Evander Sno too much! Started well but really struggled in important games, all the derbies this season he hasnt impacted the game one little bit.

    The problem is mate, thats the sum total of what he gives you.

    We need more than that for 4.4 million.
