Ran well over a KM more than anybody else, superb graft and exactly what we needed to show

Excellent in cm. he’s far better there and we are far better with him there.

Big fan of Brownhill, and feel he has more gears to shift through.

Shaggy · Post by **Shaggy** » Sun Dec 13, 2020 9:23 pm

I was impressed with him tonight. He looked sharp and more than once made up a lot of ground to get a block in.

A bit gutted that he didn’t get on the end of that westy corner for our goal.

Good lad, it was only a couple of weeks ago that some experts on here thought he was a lightweight....

Quickenthetempo · Post by **Quickenthetempo** » Sun Dec 13, 2020 9:25 pm

I read somewhere he is doing a lot of long distance running to push his fitness levels.

It's paying off.

A great signing and a class cm
Scott who?

Rileybobs · Post by **Rileybobs** » Sun Dec 13, 2020 9:26 pm

Class tonight. He’s got great energy and positivity with the ball.

RVclaret · Post by **RVclaret** » Sun Dec 13, 2020 9:28 pm

Man of the match tonight, he was everywhere and tidy on the ball. Next Burnley captain after Ben Mee (whenever that may be).

ksrclaret · Post by **ksrclaret** » Sun Dec 13, 2020 9:28 pm

Developing nicely. He’s very dynamic and some of his one-touch passing and lay-offs are a real asset in getting us playing.

Dilemma when cork is fit

Hedontplayforyou · Post by **Hedontplayforyou** » Sun Dec 13, 2020 9:29 pm

Reads the game very well, makes lots of interceptions, covers acres of ground, and has a bit about him on the ball too. If he carries on his value will be huge .

Brilliant performance.

Bosscat · Post by **Bosscat** » Sun Dec 13, 2020 9:32 pm

Have liked Brownhill since the 1st time he pulled on the Claret and Blue of a Burnley shirt...

Cork has a fight on his hands to get his place back...

Also a big shout out for Robby Brady tonight ... I thought he was fantastic all over the pitch ...

Absolutely.

Josh is growing into the team, and seems to get better game on game, I think playing alongside Ashley Westwood has helped improve him, and don’t forget we’ve got jack cork coming back aswell

Belgianclaret · Post by **Belgianclaret** » Sun Dec 13, 2020 9:57 pm

He’s better than Hendrick

With pace not being Mees strong point, I am hoping he can stay with us at least until the age Duff did!

FactualFrank · Post by **FactualFrank** » Sun Dec 13, 2020 10:17 pm

For me Cork starts on the bench and earns his place.

Nonayforever · Post by **Nonayforever** » Sun Dec 13, 2020 10:21 pm

Brownhill has developed into an asset for the club and a good purchase from the Championship. For me, it just goes to show that there must be one or two more lurking in the league below us.

I bet there's 50 players in the Championship that could make the step up.

Jakubs Tash · Post by **Jakubs Tash** » Sun Dec 13, 2020 10:25 pm

Nothing to say that Brownhill can’t play in there with Westwood AND Cork if we decide to play a midfield 5. Bags of energy about those 3 together and Brownhill has previously played as an advanced midfielder in a 3.

Trouble is their current clubs know this and duly inflate the expected transfer fee to way beyond what we have been prepared to pay.

Brownhill was described as 1 for the future when he arrived but got thrown in once those out of contract players refused to play

elwaclaret · Post by **elwaclaret** » Sun Dec 13, 2020 10:28 pm

Very very impressed with Browhill today. He has already made great strides since he arrived and is looking like he might soon become a hell of a player.

Steve-Harpers-perm · Post by **Steve-Harpers-perm** » Sun Dec 13, 2020 10:28 pm

He is proving to be an excellent signing.

LowtonClaret · Post by **LowtonClaret** » Sun Dec 13, 2020 11:18 pm

MOM tonight. A brilliant box to box player with outstanding fitness An outstanding addition

Rileybobs · Post by **Rileybobs** » Sun Dec 13, 2020 11:19 pm

Thought he set the tone very early with his pressing and interceptions.

NewClaret · Post by **NewClaret** » Sun Dec 13, 2020 11:24 pm

Brilliant again. Love him.

Wouldn’t mind going 4-5-1 against Villa though and using Brownhill/Brady to double up on Grealish.

Cirrus_Minor · Post by **Cirrus_Minor** » Sun Dec 13, 2020 11:31 pm

Lots of energy and some pace. Played really well tonight.

Nothing to bring back to the dressing room. Everything left on that pitch tonight. 100% committed.

Sean will like.

Give him the goal - his leap distracted the gooner.

I thought that - or giving one player the one task of following Grealish all over the pitch. Without Ross Barkley Villa are last year’s team and powderpuff if Grealish isn’t firing.

He looked like he had "fired"in that pic on tinterweb last week, judging by the look he was giving the camera and his tousled hair askew

That's easy. Play 3 in cm and 1 striker, like we did with Hendrick as a sort of nr 10.

Just wish he had another inch in him and get the touch rather than the OG.
Only had him at 90/1 with Betfair

The current squad is now stronger than it was last season the main reason is Josh Brownhill.

I think that was his best game last night. Long may it continue!
