Benjamin Brereton

Here is a great post written by 'Turkish' on Benny Brereton earlier:

Brereton is my tip for surprise of the year

I have only ever seen 2 players rise through the ranks at Forest since the late 70's who haven't had a tough second year and that is Fairclough and Keane and it could be argued Keane is a shoe in as we bought him

Last year Ben produced what he did with absolutely nothing going for him, the team was struggling, he was over played, the expectation was to high, he was too much of a focal point to the opposition. On the upside he's now got hairs on his arse in abundance, there are 3 young uns who have taken virtually every once of pressure off him, Grabban has taking the goal scoring pressure of him and is now in a position to play with absolute freedom.

Grabban is the obvious choice for this seasons top scorer but I wouldn't be shocked at all if it turns out to be Brereton, just think we are talking about him scoring for the U19's 50+ first team appearances and he's representing the U19's I bet he's got more experience than the rest of that side up together (not that I've checked but you get the drift)

Good luck Ben.
