MATCHWATCH : Wycombe Wanderers (h)

[Hound]

Found it disappointing that Jacob Brown had zero impact against pretty much a Wycombe reserve side.

Yeah. Wasn’t that impressed by the signing when it happened, less so after seeing him play.

Hoping he will sharpen up with time, but his track record doesn’t fill me with confidence. Fans at his previous clubs seem to suggest he is more a hard worker, than a prolific scorer (not entirely sure how that fits into our plans).

Can press and fill in well across the front line. If he is 3rd choice CAM, 3rd choice ST and 5th choice winger he becomes a handy option. Don't really trust him as an important team member though.

This pretty much

Quarter Finals i believe. Lost to Brighton Under 21s.

I was there

Same here. IIRC we were much the better side, but somehow contrived to draw 0-0. Our penalties were rubbish, had to watch it back to check we actually scored twice. LOL at O'Mahoney giving JP the big one after scoring his.

It was one of those games where if we'd scored one, we would've scored three or four. It being a freezing night is my overriding memory though!

When I've seen him play for Scotland (he was never international standard), he was very much a Ché Adams-style player – a second striker. He'll do the hard work, but you expect someone else to get the goals. Don't ever remember him doing much for Scotland beyond the basics.

Tbf to Brown, I thought he did alright last night.

I'd hope Patton (or a new signing) will be ahead of him in the most advanced role once he's available again.
