Under Pressure Brown Blames Players

Last updated : 23 November 2011 By @pnemad

In comments made after the game Brown referred to a breakdown in the final third with the senior players in that part of the field not willing to put their body on the line. With both Ashbee and Alexander injured it is difficult to see who he was balming unless Mellor now falls into the senior category.

Brown is now placing all his bets on the return from injury of the two main senior players along with Daley, Hume and Proctor who could all be ready for Saturday's trip to Gigg Lane although the latter two have not played for the best part of a month and in Hume's case it is much longer.

Timing is running out for Brown who says that he is not under pressure but he is rapidly approaching Ferguson's record of 14 winnless games last season although to his credit 2 of the 12 so far that were drawn have resulted in a penalty shoot out victory.
