Whoops sorry Mr Chip, this is the post I wrongly thought you were trying to defend Brown, and saying he did nothing wrong!
I see it now, you clearly say he was at fault and should have scored

At least after a few poor performances you can be guaranteed a laugh on here reading the posts from the comedians.
Mr Chip you are the Tommy Cooper of the board, that post about saying Brown did nothing wrong when he missed that absolute sitter that would have changed the whole course of the game, priceless

Looks like we have another clueless clown on board.

It's funny how most of your posts are exactly how I see things but then your bias towards those you just won't criticise lets you down, Just be consistant in your criticism and praise Mr Chip, it's not too much to ask is it, I wonder if the description would have been the same if Barker, Mcunnie, Humps or Foley had missed this extremely difficult opportunity

porter whipped the ball across the face of the goal. brown was arriving at speed, the ball was at least 6 inches off the ground and still rising when brown made contact.

its actually not difficult to put the ball over the bar in that scenario as your momentum and the balls trajectory will naturally force the ball upwards especially if you are stretching to get it.

i stand by what i said. brown was a bit unlucky ( note i said a bit, not remarkably or extremely ) imho in that he made a good contact and hit the target.

the keeper has instinctively stuck out a hand and somehow kept it out.

as i also said on another day the ball would have ended up in the net. he probably could have done better but to me it was a very good save.

at no point whatsoever did i say brown did nothing wrong.

to suggest he missed a sitter that changed the course of the match is an exaggeration.

had the ball been coming to him along the ground 6 yards out at no speed with the keeper nowhere to be seen and he had put it wide fair enough.

but to suggest it was a shocking miss that cost us the game is rather deflecting blame from those who probably deserve it i.e the manager and the defence.

Zig's been here all day, I wondered when Zag would arrive.

but we are now in a similar position to last season i.e. lack of confidence and with players playing out of position.

Weird this

These two defended barker against all critisism last season, as though slagging off players was a crime. But they now have a target of their own, our only genuine class prospect.

Gissa clue who this target is
All I've been trying to do is point out to my mate Mr Chip that you can't just single out the mistakes from the players you most like to make them, and then start slagging them off, and then suddenly ignore mistakes by others. And that one from Brown was a glaring miss and it would have changed the game, he should have scored, he didn't, it was a mistake, big deal, he didn't mean to, but sorry I can't remember slagging him off.
