rik2304 Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 I've generally been impressed by Brown in a Saints shirt and bar one mistake in Europe he's not done much wrong when given an opportunity. Last night he was excellent and showed he could easily be a regular starter imo. However.........he's been readily dropped by TW and often goes months without getting near the first team and had a very unimpressive loan spell with Dumbarton.So what happens next? Does he get a real opportunity or does he become another Liam Caddis? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave mc Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 I hope he gets another year, always looks a player with his head up looking for passes, defended much better last night too,still a young lad Jiangsu Sainty 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cagey Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 Hopefully he gets a contract as we know what we get from him & anyone else we bring in could be hit or a miss. I only remember one misplassed pass as the limit of his poor games. Tommy doesn't seem to rate him or fell out with him as he has only played him when we were down to the bare bones.We have had a good season financially so I would imagine an up to £30,000 wage for a proven utility player would be a good punt.

RandomGuy Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 Bearing in mind Caddis got another one year deal last Summer, then it should be a no-brainer.I'm not convinced he'll ever be a standout for us, to the level Muzz and Millar can be, but I'm not convinced he won't either. He's a couple of months younger than Kane, and a couple of months older than Thomson, who both got deals until 2018, and I'd say he looks more comfortable at this level than Thomson has. In other words I reckon he should be worth at least a one year deal simply because hes got plenty of room for progression on top of the fact hes looked good enough to cope at this level so would be confirmed back up anyway.

Broon Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 He's dependable. Never puts a bad shift in but also never a MOM performance. I like him though, he's never let us down and I'm not worried when we play him in the middle. He is a good passer and has a bit of dig. I'd be happy to see him get a deal.

Pat McGroin Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 Worked very well with Liam in the middle. With the season that Millar has had injury wise, it would seem a no brainer to keep him on for me. He can only improve with games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Center Half Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 I think he needs to play games on a regular basis, Look how Fisher came on by being allowed to continue to play every week, he looks the type who would get better every week with games, definitely worth a new deal but only if we are prepared to play him a good number of games and build up his confidence. Still do not know of a footballer who improved sitting in the Stand. Dave Ferg, Cagey, AthensSaint and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ex-montrosesaintee Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 Some real quality in there. His best games have been against Celtic. Maybe loaning him to a lower league wasn't what he needed. Some players just have the brain for good football and not hoofball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jad Posted May 13, 2016 Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 (edited) No, no , no not Paul Paton. Sorry but don't think he will offer us very much apart from fight, he does not have the vision for that forward pass. Yes, he will give dig and strength but he can't play that attacking through pass to the strikers Squarie Pates, would rather have Brown.

SlickDT Posted May 13, 2016 Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 I'd far rather we gave Brown another season than bringing in Paton. I really don't like Paton as a character and I don't think he's worth replacing a potentially good player for the future.I really do think Brown could be a hit here, far better than Caddis and rarely puts a poor show in when in the side.

sixties saintee Posted May 13, 2016 Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 What has Brown done to not deserve a new deal,never let Tommy down comes in does a good shift and disappears. Jiangsu Sainty 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBored Posted May 13, 2016 Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 I don't think Tommy trusts him defensively and that's why he's been out of the picture. Showed up well against Celtic, but I suspect the defensive side of his game will let him down. If Paton is coming in then unless we are releasing the likes of Lappin, Brown will just be further down the pecking order.Would like to see him stay on, but won't be surprised to read he has been released.

St Mikey Posted May 13, 2016 Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 I'd rather keep Brown than sign Paton and give the younger boy the chance plus difference in salary.TW might be waiting to see if Alston/Dow situation is clearer but even though I'd sign Brown on another deal as I think a full preseason and more game time would benefit him. Or just go feck it and sign everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honest Saints Fan Posted May 13, 2016 Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 Well if he can't get a game or look a stand out amongst a Dumbarton midfield it is saying a lot. One decent game against a very poor Celtic midfield doesn't make a player. Lt. Col Kojak Slaphead II 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelly78 Posted May 13, 2016 Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 Until the last 2 games, I would've said Brown should definitely be released. But his performances against Celtic and Motherwell were his best for Saints so far imo. His positioning certainly seems to have improved, particularly defensively, as have his fitness levels. He tired in the second half against Celtic and dropped out of the game a bit, but that's perfectly understandable given his limited game time. I'm starting to lean towards giving him next season to stake his claim as back up/competition for Midge. Al C 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin James Is On Stilts Posted May 13, 2016 Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 Really is turning into Caddis MK2, isn't he? Solid enough when called upon but will always have others above him in the pecking order.He's still only 21, and won't be earning top dollar, so I can see us keeping him unless he tells tells the boss that he wants to move on to get regular first team games. But to be honest I'm not entirely sure he's bright enough to have that conversation. sixties saintee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
