Bill Leckie on Scott Brown

if were banging 4 in against st mirren and top of the league, does it really matter who scores 4 us

 

not really but i think a few words from lennon to brown to attempt more shots may pay off and put his confidence up with a few goals .

 

aye maybe

 

He will probably score for Scotland tonight.:icon_mrgreen:

 

no doubt

 

The guy cant shoot or string a pass all he can do is run and tackle

 

Hopefully he'll score tonight as he'll be able to get forward more than he does with Celtic. Scotland won't use him as a holding midfielder like we do. In fact, he's Scotland's main goal threat recently lol.

 

Nothing new then? When Celtic field two wingers and two attackers it's near impossible for Brown to play any other role than this. Last season it was N'Guemo and Crosas in midfield and I don't think they scored many either.

 

Broony can barely pass the ball in a straight line at times and you want him to take digs from outside the box? With the way our "fan mindset" is at the moment, he'd get slaughtered and would be the new Samaras in no time.

He's been playing well recently, but he should learn to walk before running, so to speak.

 

He doesn't score enough, but who from the centre of midfield does? Over the last 4-5 years the majority of attacks are focused on the wing, and our wingers scored a fair amount of goals.
It is true Brown couldn't hit a coos * wae a banjo, but he would be given more oppertunity to get a shot at goal if more play was focused not just on the wing but adding more into the centre. It's been noticable the last few weeks that there is more in the CM and a good few moves and goals have came from there.

 

Jaurez has already scored a couple for us from Cm, i see him as the midfielder who will push up and grab the goals, brown may get a few scruffy ones from corners etc. But with Juarez doing most the running and our goal scoring work, allowing Brown to play deeper and not worry about scoring, Or even better, dropped.

 

drop brown *. He's easily been of our best players this season.
He's not much of a goal scorer.. his stats tell you that. Stop trying to make him into something he isn't. Lenny wasn't a goal scorer.

 

Just wish he was smarter with the ball. I often wonder if he has any footballing brain at all

 

Don't think lennons the best person to be giving advice about shooting and scoring

 

True unfortunitly .

Brown provides no balance in midfield. No player can complement his work cause he's neither a defensive midfielder or an attacker. He's a box to box midfielder in the sense he has the energy to do it. Not that he defends and attacks. The sooner he is dropped the better in my eyes. I think Ledley Juarez and Kayal complement each other perfectly in a three. Kayal defensive midfielder, Ledley Box to box, Juarez attacking midfield.

 

Tonight, at 20:35 to level it at 1-1 .

 

To be frank I couldnt give a * if he never scores again, he's started the season very well, an if he can maintain his effort on the pitch creating chances and others put the ball in the net il be delighted
