He's right, he used to be poor now he's rich.

CnBtruntru · Post by **CnBtruntru** » Sun Feb 12, 2017 3:37 pm

He just admitted he did not have a good game, to me he looked tired in the first half so to say he only been here a couple of weeks would expect he will be fit by March, nothing to worry about as he takes one hell of a free kick

jurek · Post by **jurek** » Sun Feb 12, 2017 3:39 pm

I saw a quote from Brady and he said he hadn't played particularly well.
But his goal got us the point so you can forgive him for not playing well.

pushpinpussy · Post by **pushpinpussy** » Sun Feb 12, 2017 3:39 pm

he gave the ball away every time he had it. committed himself for their goal and looked off the pace. why do you think Super Dyche took him off?

Because he was knackered.

Devils_Advocate · Post by **Devils_Advocate** » Sun Feb 12, 2017 3:42 pm

Id say off the pace rather than poor. A few of our players gave it away cheaply in the first half which was probably a lot to do with the quality of the opposition.

Like Hendrick before him though it will take a little time to get up to speed with the way we play but you can def see the quality and potential

Geoff · Post by **Geoff** » Sun Feb 12, 2017 3:43 pm

He's been harsh on himself here, great goal and TEAM performance!

Vegas Claret · Post by **Vegas Claret** » Sun Feb 12, 2017 3:44 pm

just like Hendrick (no S) , the step up will take time but Hendrick (no S) has been superb for us, Brady will be the same

Under par by his own admission. If that's the case then the future's bright, the future's Claret

DCWat · Post by **DCWat** » Sun Feb 12, 2017 3:46 pm

You could tell when he came off that he wasn't happy with how he had played. Not sulking, just annoyed with himself, was how I judged his demeanour.

Not a great display but it will take him a while to get up to pace and used to the system and his role in it, a la Hendrick.

What a free kick though!!!

JimmyRobbo · Post by **JimmyRobbo** » Sun Feb 12, 2017 3:50 pm

I think he did make a few mistakes .... that I'm sure he won't once he's fully embedded....

Was he the one who made the missed lunge for their goal on the half-way line? If so, it was a little reckless...but still had cover...

Edit: Can't believe I haven't mentioned that incredible free-kick. So, played his part.

cricketfieldclarets · Post by **cricketfieldclarets** » Sun Feb 12, 2017 3:53 pm

I think he was taken by surprise by the intensity not only of the league but how we play. He was ok. But will get better as he gets fitter. His dead ball ability isnt in doubt.

PaintYorkClaretnBlue · Post by **PaintYorkClaretnBlue** » Sun Feb 12, 2017 3:54 pm

He didn't have the best of games (apart from the free kick) but it's a good sign that he's annoyed with himself and can admit that he didn't have the best of games.

Hendrick didn't look fantastic in his first few games and look at him now. I've no doubt at all that Brady will be a big positive for our squad.

Incredible, incredible performance! Well done Sean and ALL the lads!

Tall Paul · Post by **Tall Paul** » Sun Feb 12, 2017 3:55 pm

I thought he was quite poor, apart from the goal. But if he plays like that every game and bangs a few more of those free kicks in, that'll do for me.

I'm sure he'll get better though.

Right_winger · Post by **Right_winger** » Sun Feb 12, 2017 3:57 pm

Superb goal, but I'd agree saying he looked off the pace constantly giving the ball away and running into trouble.
Just an adjustment thing though he'll be fine.

kaptin1 · Post by **kaptin1** » Sun Feb 12, 2017 5:45 pm

Superb free kick aside, he looked well off the pace and needs to work harder but that will come with fitness and time. I'm sure he will turn out to be a quality addition.

10 for the free kick, 3 for everything else. Will need to offer more to the framework to avoid being hooked regularly.

Can't wait until Dyche gets him up to speed with us, because his quality is not in doubt. Scored a wonderful free kick and just before that delivered a sublime ball to the back post that just went over Boyd's head.

Lowbankclaret · Post by **Lowbankclaret** » Sun Feb 12, 2017 6:02 pm

To be fair we will not play Chelsea every week. They did not let him settle on the ball once.

agreenwood · Post by **agreenwood** » Sun Feb 12, 2017 6:03 pm

The free kick was sublime, but the rest of his performance was poor. I wouldn't mind seeing the stats in his pass completion/ball retention ratio.

He'll get better of course. Was just off the pace today.

Claretforever · Post by **Claretforever** » Sun Feb 12, 2017 6:03 pm

Brady had a poor game today, and it's something we were talking about in the stands. The fantastic goal aside he gave the ball away an awful lot, and didn't do much with it.

You can tel from his movements though that he desperately want to get forward and take player on. All bears well.

Dark Cloud · Post by **Dark Cloud** » Sun Feb 12, 2017 6:04 pm

Totally agree with the OP. Absolutely fantastic free kick and will get used to playing the SD way in time, but overall was on the fringe and his defensive work was bobbins! We have to say it as it was TODAY.

Wilsdenclaret · Post by **Wilsdenclaret** » Sun Feb 12, 2017 6:06 pm

No big deal but yes, apart from the goal he was poor today. Nearly turned the game at Watford when he came on.......he'll be reet

He has to fit in to seans system of playing yet , our fitness levels and non stop running being part of it. To be fair chelsea caught burnley off guard early doors and have lightening pace on another level to the rest of the premiership.we kept calm regrouped and then coped with their pace and skill,we showed no fear wotsoever and werent overawed by them something sd instills into the players.great free kick.....utc!

Top Claret · Post by **Top Claret** » Sun Feb 12, 2017 6:10 pm

I agree. Brady was poor today and struggled to cope with our system. I was glad to see him subbed and Scotty come on. Ball retention is paramount and Robbie kept giving it away

But what a goal....UTC

Here's a great stat from the BBC website:
Thibaut Courtois conceded a direct free-kick for the first time in his Premier League career.
Pretty amazing that!

We come from behind to take a superb point against the champions elect and within minutes of the final whistle the most important thing that someone can think of doing is to start a thread making a pretty stupid and irrelevant observation about a player who has scored an absolute peach of a goal on his full debut.

JohnDearyMe · Post by **JohnDearyMe** » Sun Feb 12, 2017 6:19 pm

Agreed. Fantastic set piece but apart from that he was way off the pace and his distribution was very poor

Not irrelevant. Great goal but performance below level required. He will get there.

CaptJohn · Post by **CaptJohn** » Sun Feb 12, 2017 8:41 pm

Gave it away the 1st three times he touched it. Way off the pace IMHO but what a free kick. Who can complain?

Siddo · Post by **Siddo** » Sun Feb 12, 2017 9:01 pm

We must have some of the stupidest posters out of all the 92 league clubs. He has been playing in the championship and within 2 weeks he is playing against one of the top 5 teams in the world. Of course he was off the pace, who wouldn't be? These are the same posters who slagged off Dyche s appointment , the signing of Hendrick, Heaton on a free, and want to play a championship centre half in midfield in the Premind League.

I honestly give up.
