Will Brezovan disappoint?

[Barry Scott]

I've thought about this long and hard.

With Brezovan having been out  for so long, have we all built his ability and reputation up to such a degree that when he plays we'll be disappointed?

For instance. His kicking is not all that, will we get frustrated with his kicking after watching smithy kicking straight balls all season?

Will we be able to accept any mistakes he may make?

When Migz was injured last season (I think) i do recall everyone i spoke to talking about him like a god, how he'd save us, how he was going to be the catalyst to better football and how we were lost without him. I felt the same.

Well, he came back and was not the Migz we'd all created. I remember the excitement i felt when i knew he was going to play, and then the disappointment at realising he was not Paul Scholes and played 2nd Division Football.

So, may this happen to Brez, or is he good enough to live up to our misty eyed recollections of the Hartlepool performance?

Thats because Migz fell out with Iffy and Iffy wouldnt play him

Otherwise we would have played better football, we would have won games and stayed up because Migz was a god  

Brezovan as far as I remember, has dropped more clangers this season than Smith anyway! but then he also put in the best goal keeping performance I have ever seen.

I think we'll have to wipe the slate and re-judge Brezovan.....no idea how the broken arm or the no football for 7+ months has effected him

I think he'll have to force his way back in, Smith deserves to be no1 now. One hell of a battle. But saying that, I've never neen as confident in a Town keeper to take a cross when one comes into the box - not even Fraser - (who is still a real god...)

[Bushey Boy]

Barry Scott - spot on post as usual.

Brez has a fight on his hands and I think to start with next year smith will be the no 1

[Arriba]

i expect the keeper who misses out on being first choice to leave.
its a really tough call

It's fantastic to have a real competition for places for a change.  I missed most of the early season and Brezs performances, but Phil Smith has certainly done enough to be number one next season.  If Brezovan starts as number one he knows the pressure is on from minute one, and the fans are aware that there is a more than competant replacement in the wings.  I suspect given the length of recovery he's had he'll have a full pre-season, and be pushing hard to start the season - it looks like the timing of his recovery is such that he should have plenty of time to ease himself in, rather than be thrown into league matches straight away.

Bez will not be here next season - once he plays a few games to prove his fitness he will be gone, probably to Leeds as I think they will need a keeper

Personally I wouldnt be gutted if brezovan went. If he stays then great. But I just can't dismiss the fact that Smithy have contributed ridiculously to towns achievements this season. Without Smith coming in when Brezovan got injured we wouldve been fucked! Legend!

[Chubbs]

saying that ben if brezovan didint get injured i personaly think we would have been home and dry by now.

[Red81]

hmm.. good point, but.... if i recall brezo was a little more clumsy in the catching department. Smithy has a shinier hairdo too

[reeves4england]

Can't say Brez would be missed after Smith's performances, but to have those two fighting for places would be brilliant. If Wise keeps his job he could make a move for Brez though

[Red81]

god i hate that prick wise! I sincerely hope we get to play them next year just so we can abuse him

[kaufman]

wise changed the club around this season and without him we would not be where we are...........fact!

yes he thought only of himself taking the leeds job but so would have most people offered that job.
yes he is a little shit and easy to hate but the fact is he is to be thanked for helping us get to where we are this year and i dont see how anyone can argue that.

Not to mention the whole ince saga which even though he was shit in the end wise raised the profile of this club while he was here and gave us belief that we could be good again.

if iffy had the job from the start of the season we would have never got brezovan, williams and to an extent vincent who have both helped ifil no end this season and has played a massive part in getting us to where we are.

paul evans has been fantastic for us too this season when fit. and i nearly forgot paul smith too.

i dread to what iffy would have brought in but i will give iffy credit in that he got peacock to come here.

all these players i mentioned above would not have come here if wise had not been here.

sturrock has taken on the job and has got the players doing their job and doing enough to get out of this league and i guess we wont see the finished article of his plans until next year but wise i feel deserves credit.

i'm done

i'll still heckle him  though
