steviestevieneville Posted May 19, 2021 Report Share Posted May 19, 2021 Playing up top/ no 10 against Liverpool tonight & having a really good game . Always liked him & we’ve missed him massively . A nod to joe Bryan , Bobby , combining for the goal last night plus Adam Webster . Just goes to show we really did have some decent players.

Kodjias Wrist Posted May 19, 2021 Report Share Posted May 19, 2021 IMO letting Pack, Smith and Josh go all in a couple of seasons had a huge impact on the midfield that we haven't recovered from yet. Great to see him doing well at Burnley, loved his energy when playing for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All three gone within a year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohhhshauntaylor Posted May 19, 2021 Report Share Posted May 19, 2021 Pack was so underrated- he is still a huge miss. I remember the hysteria after Nagy’s debut @ Birmingham (where he was very good) and the claims he was a massive upgrade- I think that’s been proved wrong. Pack a huge miss, Brownhill was exceptional in his last 6 months also and the whole Smith fiasco was embarrassing. 12 days of Ashton left! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midlands Robin Posted May 19, 2021 Report Share Posted May 19, 2021 Looking at those who have now moved on and have finished above us this season you'd have a pretty decent side: A back four of Joe Bryan, Aiden Flint, Adam Webster and Luke Ayling A midfield of Korey Smith, Marlon Pack and Josh Brownhill With Bobby Reid up front. The only thing missing are two wide men to play in a four five one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gert Mare Posted May 19, 2021 Report Share Posted May 19, 2021 Brownhill is a solid player and doesn’t look out of place in Burnley’s midfield. He was getting better when he left us. We have certainly missed someone with his energy in the middle of the park this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YGBjammy Posted May 19, 2021 Report Share Posted May 19, 2021 Don't think I appreciated him enough when he was here. Who in our current midfield would make it into any of the top 6 sides this season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bernard Lerring Posted May 19, 2021 Report Share Posted May 19, 2021 I'm ashamed to say that I never fully appreciated him while he was here. We do see flashes (or even a small run of games) of quality from the midfielders we have now, but I think it's Brownhills consistency that we miss most, and will find hardest to replace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Offside Posted May 19, 2021 Report Share Posted May 19, 2021 Brownhill improved massively during his time with us. He seemed very average to me at first, but he turned into a bustling, high-energy midfielder who weighed in with some great goals. I agree with those who have said we’ve missed Pack. Yes he had limitations (which player doesn’t?), but he was a leader, always looked for the ball and tried to dictate games. We’ve also missed Smith’s tenacity this season and have been very powder-puff without him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocking Red Cyril Posted May 19, 2021 Report Share Posted May 19, 2021 Funnily enough got couple of guys I know who follow Cardiff and they really go not rate Pack for them .and although loved Smith do feel we needed an upgrade on him in that role Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has really impressed at Burnley and his stats for the season are up there. A club like Everton is were I expect he will end up. Certainly our midfield is worse of without him.

No guarantees though, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
