Marcus Browne joins on loan

[sarumox]

Have to be honest, but I have never heard of the player but happy to go with the flow and trust KR and the rest of the management team know more about what he can do than I.
Regarding the mythical 20 goal striker that a few are after. All very well stating we need one but could you clarify who will do fill that role.

20 goal a season striker ?....guysssss we did this last week

 

[Frankie]

After Hall came off tonight you could see why we have signed another pacey player, he caused them loads of problems that we couldn’t replicate second half without him.

Not certain about Napa from what I have seen so far, thought Baptise looked far more promising, so don’t think we can rely on him this season.

I thought Napa played well. One of the best games he’s played for us. Still a developing player.

Only two teams had a 20 goal striker last season and neither of them even got into the playoffs.

Last week, last season and so on.

It can never be stopped.

Welcome Marcus!

I’ve mentioned before we probably need a striker who’s capable of getting 15 goals if either Okiba or Smith can get that a real bonus, I look at the players behind the main strikers get a lot more goals this season

Rob Hall if we get a full season injury free & in form should be getting double figures

James Henry if played in the number 10 role could get 10 goals or more again

Both Whyte & Browne unknown players in this league depending on how they adapt if they get anywhere close to double figures that would be decent return

Mackie not sure where he’ll play in this team but anywhere close to double figures would be a decent return aswell

Then Midfield players like Carruthers & Brannagan could get you half a dozen over a season even Ruffles has a few goals in him now & then

Nelson Dickie McMahon will chip in with a few along with McMahon getting assists through set pieces

Overall if this happens then we’ve got plenty of players who are capable of scoring enough goals in this league

Not especially, 3 or 4 still needed with days to go before season starts.
Trouble getting Karacan, Smith and Holmes over the line.
Mackie, Whyte, Browne and Hall need game time before Barnsley and we only have one PSF left.

Appears to have a good relationship with Martinez (of equaliser at Boro fame). Assuming he asked his advice before signing, hopefully more evidence that young players see us a good place to develop.

Martinez also very complimentary about the club:

The typically very reliable 6thTier twitter account is suggesting Browne might be out injured for a bit.

“Understand Marcus Browne may be facing a spell on the sidelines after picking up an injury #oufc”

 

[McXal]

A shame if true - although from the sounds of his interviews, KR’s interviews and others, he’s not been near top fitness and had to be heavily managed injury-wise since he got here. So shouldn’t come as a great surprise to those at the club

Seem to remember he arrived carrying a little knock too didn’t he? A shame as he’s a wonderful talent and been a real threat for us everytime he’s been on the pitch. That performance against Sunderland was a joy to behold.

Fingers crossed it’s nothing too lengthy if true.

 

[Gary Baldi]

Looks to be a few weeks for Browne, 4-6 weeks for Mackie and Lopes is also injured. Only 15 fit players for Saturday

 

[Northstandboy]

I swear this is a sign we are doomed this season.

Robbo expects Marcus Browne to here for the duration of the season and not be recalled in January.

 

[Paul Cannell]

Is that the kiss of death?

 

[Sarge]

Is that the kiss of death?

.....like the proverbial vote of confidence managers used to be given. Shortly before they were sent? ......I hope not.

 

[RyanioBirdio]

I think there’s a reason Jordan Graham is here waiting to sign in January - or so we’re told. If we can even afford to pay him, that is.

Hope I’m wrong. The pair of them on a pitch together could be frightening.

 

[BotleyOx]

Can't see West Ham recalling Browne, they are doing ok in the prem and not far of 6th place.
Why call him back and throw on the bench when he's just getting going, they will let us do the developing and sell him on.

Especially as his fitness is still an issue.
