Ben Brereton?

He may not have flattered here but he showed the potential at Forest and you don’t lose that overnight. I think his problems are in the head.

Why did he get brought on for just 5 mins when 4-0 up against Wednesday?

Every single thing about the signing and how he's been managed here is bizarre. It's almost like an agent is involved and Mowbray is reluctantly getting him appearances.

So he can say how many games he's featured him in on TM's next trip to Pune at a guess.

Mrs D "Tell me Mr Mowbray.... How's that expensive player you signed going on? Has he scored many goals."

TM... "Well he's not really a striker Ma'm so you won't see many goals next to his name but apart from when he was err.... err injured and unavailable he has featured in just about every other match this season err one way or another. Hasn't he Steve?"

SW "Yes Tony, he has. He's been a great buy too. One for the future and all that."

"A point for every appearance Ma'm. We're moving upwards."

What's happening with Pardew and the unknown Dutch club? Ben should already be there being 'coached properly'.

Coached? He'd be better employed as a coach driver!

1. At what point will we write this lad off as we surely must? His game quite simply has no redeeming qualities. None!

2. How do we go about it? Cos the truth is that we bloody well will have to.. and the sooner the better!

3. Should we have a detailed forensic investigation into the full circumstances and finances surrounding his transfer from Forest? There will always be a bad smell around this issue if we don't that's for sure.

His lack of ability, attitude and application is embarrassing for him, for Mowbray and for everyone connected with the club. 10x worse a player than other big money man Kevin Davies and even worse than Ricardo bloody Grabbi! Mowbray must be shuffling his feet when BB is brought up in conversation with other managers after games.

Just a thought, and maybe a bit of homework for you ODB.... how many full 90 minutes has he played? Seems to me that he's either sub or subbed.

Aaah maybe not! He has started every game this season though and we all know that consistent playing time improves a player. He’s usually subbed because he’s exhausted, I bet he covers more ground than most players that we have.

I'd love to see their read outs but on sat I'd have Nyambe, JRC above that for certain sure and I wouldn't be surprised to see Elliot, Buckley, Johnson and Armstrong above him too in metres travelled. Armstrong in particular must use lots of energy closing down defenders and opposing GK because that involves real power packed sprints.

Good news about Ben. From reading the comments it seems I’m not alone in thinking he makes a great contribution to the team.

:rolleyes: I haven't got over his missing an open goal from 5 yards the other night yet.
