Benjamin Brereton

Only change in him .... growing a beard to look older ... still looking anonymous when on the wing ...
Reminds you of Carvalho ....

He's been out for a while with an injury and yesterday was I believe his first start in ages. So no surprise to see him have a quiet game and get pulled off.

For moments in time, he looked like he could go on to be a world beater.  Some explosive goals.

And against Arsenal?  He tore them a new Arsenal. :D

Coming back from any injury he'll be somewhat lead footed and anonymous.  However, the deafening quiet of his progress at Blackburn seems to tell its own story.

He, like Yates and Car' is still quite young.

The idea that all players are 18 and ready to go seems a remote one to me.  Players develop at different rates eg. Marlon Harewood.  Late bloomer.  But it was the good work of the Forest Academy and Paul Hart (in addition) that helped with that.

Youth players used to get introduced gradually.  

Now in the age os 'instant' fame, success and gratification the expectation is different..?

I wouldn't grudge Ben his move or any success.  If he goes on to do well, he's an advert for Forest's Academy.  As a big lad, he probably had the advantage on his peers, but against some of the CH monsters of the Championship?  Not as easy.
Attitude is important.  Why try hard if you have a Range Rover?  I guess the hunger to succeed varies against that entitled and privileged backdrop.

Even Man U can't get a tune out of Pogba.  They should have 'listened' to Fergie.

Random post alert.

Not currently going well for him in Spain and I think he is still looking for his first goal.

Lets see if he can hack it in the PL now he has signed for the scum.

I'd say he can. I hope we're in for him at the end of the season.

Its a no from me because I didn't like the way he celebrated his penalty against us. He enjoyed it too much I thought.

I didn't like that to be honest but he's had plenty of stick over the seasons by us so it'd had probably been brewing

I'd always prefer players to celebrate goals scored against former clubs rather than this modern ridiculous virtue signaling way of walking calmly away. Scoring in the premier league is a special and precious moment and it should be a big deal for any player.  

And I'd take him back. He's be a great addition to our squad if we could get him back for a reasonable cost. He'd no doubt realise that he's not an automatic pick to start every game so that'd be great.

Don't blame Ben for celebrating.

Origi out, Ben in is tempting.
