Jesus where did that come from?!? He was dogger for us. Infact, I was delighted when we got 7 figures for him. Although are we going to ignore the blatant penalty at the other end??
Will never forgive him for that sitter he missed to tie it up in the 1st leg vs. Swansea at Oakwell…. Could’ve been oh so different….
Brittain was quality for us. Just useless at finishing on the odd occasion he got into a shooting position. Definitely more of a wing back than a full back but everybody looked poor in that relegation season.
I loved Brittain for us. Couldn’t finish for toffee but his vision and crossing was brilliant and he got up and down the pitch all game.
Did we sign Brittain from somewhere like Milton Keynes ?. I was really impressed with him in the first season under Val. But as good as he was then, I also thought he was terrible along with the rest of them, in the following relegation season.
Had the lad not got his head to it at the other end he could well have won a penalty. But what about that stop on the line. Wasn’t easy to do, turning back on himself like that, but another couple of centimetres and it was a goal against them. And then the little shimmy and back heel near the touchline. So much going on in that clip!
Definitely not dogger. His last year wasn’t as good as his previous 2 but when you look at who we have had to put up with since he left, then I wholeheartedly disagree with you.
Thought he was decent, never really understood the hype around him but was a solid enough player. Was a little surprised we got as much as we did for him mind
I genuinely thought Styles would be sold for £10 million or more after seeing his progress under Val.
I don’t think he was ‘dogger’ for us at all, very inconsistent between games and within them, but not a bad player on his day
I didn’t think he was up to it either defensively or in attack. Like I say I was gobsmacked when Blackburn paid actual money for him. With that being said I’m no expert and he’s now played a lot of championship games so he’s either kept improving or he offers something I’m not seeing.
