If you're suggesting the team hasn't quite clicked then you'd be right. McGregor has been generally good; we've missed Eddy; Ajeti took his goals well; Frimpong gives us so much energy. Other players have been up and down - Taylor, Forrest, Ntcham, Moi, Christie, Jullien - but they've at least shown flashes of good play.
I don't say this with any sense of glee but bang average players are running by Brown like he's not there. Added to this, he seems to get in McGregor's way and Ntcham plays better when Brown isn't on.
I think Brown is the best Celtic captain of my lifetime. But this is not a season to carry passengers out of sentiment. I'd say he still has a role to play - maybe come on to see out games from winning positions, talk younger players through it, shithouse the opposition - but I fear he's a man down as a starter.

Fair point L7 got my reservations from what I've seen so far, but don't underestimate his presence on the park...impact sub mibbee?
Opinion: Don't Be Too Quick To Doubt Broony | The Celtic Star
When Brendan Rodgers joined Celtic I think Scott Brown found another level. However, in the first few games under the manager he was poor and a bit off the pace. The loss to Lincoln Red Imps was fresh

I agree with you about Brown playing around 20 games, by the way. My point was that he's playing too many and at this rate he'll play 50. All parties would be worse off for that.

I don't think many of us are writing him off. But most think that he needs to play a bit less in order to maximise his impact. But his leadership, hardwork, grit & determination will still be essential in this season when we are going to face so much pressure and shenanigans.Opinion: Don't Be Too Quick To Doubt Broony | The Celtic Star

Not writing him off far from it, but given Celtic average games per season (50-60) you need to start looking. Calmac for me natural choice.Opinion: Don't Be Too Quick To Doubt Broony | The Celtic Star

First of all I believe this will be the last season of our brilliant captain and we find ourselves in transition as regards the roll he shall play now within the team. What we have seen so far this season are teams playing very deep which gives us so much of the ball that we have to try and break there defence down. That is not a strong suit of broony and can tend to slow our attacks down which gives there defence more time to get organised. Our success this season shall depend on us squad rotation well which will include all players some more so than others. Also on the bigger picture we do need to be prepared more so for champions league next season so I wouldn't use brown in this season europa league campaign as we have got cover in callum or soro for these games as just feel brown has lost to much pace for European football and would be better suited for the domestic matches. With the signing of Duffy that will also help on the leadership qualities should our captain not be on the park. Of course our captain fantastic has got a huge role to play in this season of all seasons still not to sure what role that will be as before long we will be playing 2 games a week for the best part of the season. However as long as he is picking up the league trophy for the 10iar we all know he will give his all as usual to make that happen

Agreed and one of the many reasons why he is such a legend for us a true warrior and a master of the battle and stood firm against all that was thrown at him and yet stood tall and proud a true celt in every sence.
Sadly for him time is starting to catch up with him and we are moving in a new direction where our new style of football will do the talking
Squad rotation, change of formations, players been more versatile especially in the midfield area and this is why I think we may use our captain more sparely this season as we also have leaders that will still stand tall and proud against all the shite that's always thrown our way and yet it still can't and won't stop us on our march to glory

Totally agree with you John. Welcome to the Celtic Noise Asylum btw
Broony should be used more sparingly and Celtic have to get used to playing games without him doing a 90 minute shift week in, week out. He will still be able to infuse the grit, the heart and will to win into others from the bench or the backroom.

Imo Broony will know himself when it's getting harder for him. Maybe best for now we use him on the bench ready to come on for last half hour if we need that leadership to get us over the line. This will be his last season. He will go down with all the other great captains as legends of our club.

Respectfully larry7 I cant agree with that for it's too early to say for a start. He like the rest have missed so much playing time and the more you play the better you get. So far since the return hes been off the pace no question. It doesnt automatically mean that he wont find it. All players have poor spells broony is no different and he will know himself that hes not been good enough since return. Honestly though few have. He will be the last player to jeopardise the 10 just to get a game. Let's just hope he finds his mojo quickly , same for quite a few others.

I dearly hope you're right. Broony has been brilliant for us and he owes us nothing now. I fear Lenny's obstinacy-dressed-as-faith more than Brown's. By that I mean I worry that he'll keep playing him when it's clear the captain needs to sit out certain games.
Let's all hope that the penny drop moment does not come in October with some third-rate zombies, who aren't fit to lace his boots, running by him.
Brilliant read green sprig scot brown is a legend
