If he doesn't name him at all I agree he will look silly, can only see that happening if he pettily tries to prove some point to Chile, which wouldn't be beyond him. But putting him on the bench and bringing him on around 60 min mark would be justifiable, whether everyone agrees or not, as it is well within his and other managers' form books. Maybe he will start him, we will see. The tombola reigns supreme after all. 1 Quote
roversfan99 Posted March 31, 2022 Posted March 31, 2022 Brereton flying to Chile and only being able to return today means that he wont start on Saturday. He in theory could have started with 2 weeks in England. Thank there are no more Chile games this season, that will likely affect us ever and the whole circus will hopefully ideal away with them out of of the World Cup qualifiers. Quote
bluebruce Posted April 1, 2022 Posted April 1, 2022 As predicted, unlikely to start. Says he might not even make the bench if he is sore. https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/20036217.pretty-unlikely---mowbray-gives-ben-brereton-diaz-prediction/ Quote

Or Chile were desperate and played him before he was ready. Any player is going to want to play in the circumstances It's a tough one we do need him asap but if he isn't to start personally I wouldn't be too harsh on Mowbray as the guy has been out for weeks, Chile didn't think him fit enough for the Brazil match and has had a lot of travelling, sportsman or not it affects you.

Chile were more than desperate if they thought a Championship player returning from injury could save their WC campaign against all rational thinking and odds. Friggin mental of Chile and Brereton for that matter. They got what they deserved. Nowt. 3 Quote

He could not have been properly match fit, he had no 90 min games since the injury happened. Chile kept him on until Uruguay scored. The logic in that is known only to Chile and maybe Brereton. I watched the first 30 mins of the Chile game, I'll just say he didn't do much. Quote

G Somerset Rover Posted April 9, 2022 Posted April 9, 2022 (edited) I’m not picking on the lad as he’s probably not even fit, but I think I am going to be right in that he won’t even be a one season wonder. Half-season wonder is more apt. Edited April 9, 2022 by Gavlar Somerset Rover! Quote

Half-season wonder is more apt. I'm becoming of a mind that if someone wants to pay a lot for him it will be a bit of a Roque situation...ie a good move to sell and the player never hitting that form again. I'd want a nice sell on just in case though. Not that I'm mad at his second half of the season form, it has been heavily disrupted by a combo of injuries, Chile, and the rest of the team suddenly being shite.

Not many gave a brave type of performance yesterday and it looked like it was either the managers lack of motivation, or heads were elsewhere. Perhaps a deal is all but done for a transfer to bigger and better things. 1 Quote

He’s never been that good a header of the ball, especially for someone so tall. Him and Gallagher make a good pair in that respect. Both are giants who would be out jumped by David Speedie. Quote
