    Or there are the ones who are so entrenched
    in the negatives about Scott,that they
    cannot see the positives he brings to the team.:50:

    Thought Broony and Stooper were our best players today in a day when most were pretty poor for much of the game. Ledley had an absolute nightmare on the left in the 2nd half. Cha was rotten defensively as usual. Vic and Forrest had a weirdly bad games.

    Not a fan of Brown but i thought he was excellent today, covered every blade of grass, always made himself available.

    Stokes all round play was * today for me, he got the goals though.

    Brown was excellent, totally dominated the midfield for us, the full play went through him. Decisive passing, strong on the ball, scored a good penalty at a time where we really struggle with them, as the captin he stood up and took control.

    The shot off the post was a rocket, great save by McGovern to deny him and Hooper should have been awarded a goal for it.

    Kind of agree about Stokes. He had a moment of two of quality rather than a good game.

    Broony to me though has more to come. You can see he is playing within himself and really rations the burst forward. It might be tactics though as you cant commit forward when you are a CM in an attacking 4-4-2.

    I've never been a fan of Brown, but I thought he had a great game today.

    My MOTM was Hooper. His movement, first touch, control and passing was excellent.

    Brown was good today but not great, wanyama and him were both making horrible passes

    Broony only had two misplaced passes today, a crossfield ball that went over Cha's head and out of play and a lob into the box which Hooper was unlucky not to reach.

    Browns passing for the most part was excellent, the same cannot be said for big Vic, he continually gave the ball away.

    I thought Broony was great today, always looking for the ball and always looking for the best pass, every pass didnt work but he fought to get it back if he * up, since he came back fi injury he's had a fire in his belly :boxing::57:

    Brown was excellent today, covered the whole pitch, drove us on and made Wanyamas performance look a lot better.

    I've never been a fan of his but long may recent form continue because he has been very good.

    Never been a massive fan, still think we overpaid for him and certainly isn't deserving of being one of our highest earners BUT there was some definite improvement last season and he's been reasonably solid since he came back from injury.

    Still not quite sure I'd have him as a starter with a fully fit squad, but I don't worry half as much as I used to when I see him in the lineup.

    Had a fine game today.

    You guys might find that a certain "Yank" might disagree with your praise of our skipper

    not sure what you see in Browns play, as like ki"s. they were both pathetic, give Brown the pen so what. why is it that we struggled the first half and part of the second, simple no creative play from the middle of the park, if it was not for the runs of Foster giving us at least a flutter when on the ball, this game had by passed Brown and KI, i don't like coming on here all the time saying, this about a £5 million pound buy, that is not any better than who ever he has to man mark on the pitch. i will give credit when credit is due but * me lads, why oh why, you let your heart rule your heads, is beyond me.:31: WE PLAYED FALKIRK FFS.

    I would love to know what the really weird intense dislike of Broony that Butch and The Hand have comes from. Its bordering on weird and obsessive.
