Media were all over it yesterday so you may be right. I just prefer Pereira. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reformed_red Posted September 3, 2020 Report Share Posted September 3, 2020 After he full on booted the ball into the crowd from about 2 yards away in the dying moments of a game we lost 4-1, resulting in a fellow city fan being taken to hospital after the ball smashed him in the face, if we sign him that’s the last straw for me and this shambles of a “football club”.

Happened right in front of me, the poor bloke was walking out along the front of the Dolman and was absolutely poleaxed. Reckless at best from Brunt imo. - absolutely no need to use that much power - but it was the sight of one of his team mates seemingly sniggering about it in the background while the fan was flat out that really set the crowd off. Close to being a riot, lucky the final whistle went soon after and the players got off the pitch. Do I hold it against Brunt now? Not really, so much water under the bridge - if it was the 1-4 Sheff. Weds. game it was 16 years ago! The incident came back to me as well though when I saw the thread title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted September 3, 2020 Report Share Posted September 3, 2020 I forgot it was Brunt though I now remember a bit better the incident! Was clearly (surely) accidental the incident. Seemed needless, Sheffield Wednesday were 4-1 up approaching stoppage time. @Nogbad the Bad is quite right, reaction was very angry indeed. I think they went straight off at 90, certainly no stoppage time- possibly played a role? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You couldn’t have been that far from me as I was right in front of it with the old man. Didn’t the lad need treatment? Did get very heated.

tin Posted September 6, 2020 Report Share Posted September 6, 2020 If this Brunt rumour turns out to be true, I really don’t understand it. The only positive is his experience would be useful but he doesn’t get into my first XI or on the bench given how well stocked we are in midfield. I’ll put my neck on the line and say I suspect this is a waste of a wage if it comes to fruition. Also, does anyone remember Brunt playing for Sheff Weds at the Gate circa 2004, got Danny Coles sent off in front of the Dolman? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elruliri Posted September 6, 2020 Report Share Posted September 6, 2020 I think Chris Brunt could be our Brian Tinnion for a season or two. He maybe knocking on but has a left foot that can put a ball on a sixpence. He can also play in a veraitity of positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davefevs Posted September 6, 2020 Report Share Posted September 6, 2020 I can see several positions he could play....LWB, in midfield, etc....but I’m a bit with @tinhere. It’s one I need to hear Holden’s rationale for should it happen. Experience, sweet left peg...I get that, but I can only think it happens if other players leave. But we are outsiders looking in. Could be a player coach role for all we know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be a player coach role for all we know. I think also Brunt's expectations are key here. Brunt is 35 and it might be he is happy being a bit-part player, an experienced head and someone who can come on from the bench if we need to see out a game. In that case, I can see the logic.

Decisions like playing Wiemann as a central midfielder does not do anything for him to start earning trust either! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really do wonder if as a curve ball option we'll see Brunt come in and play in that ball playing LCB role quite a bit before Baker returns in December. Has experience at left back and West Brom fans describe him as playing very well as a defensive midfield 'quarterback' / dictator of play so it may suit him very well. With the talent and depth we already have in centre mid and (I'm only guessing) won't have the legs to play large chunks of games at wing back so that's the only way this signing makes a lot of sense to me. Unless he really is happy with a bit part role this season, will be doing coaching on the side and is being bought for his experience around the dressing room?
