I too think he should be in our Championship squad next season. However, I can understand a loan to L1 with a recall option, depending on who we can sign for the first team. At least it would give the club's staff some confidence in whether he could step up to the Championship for the 2nd half of the season.

I watched the whole game and his interview, and him receiving his medal. All good stuff. He said he thought he was a bit behind the crosses as if it was his fault they were way over his head. He did miss one scorable chance but was under a lot of pressure from the beefy Solihull defenders. He just has that awareness and touch that you can't train into someone. A future star if he keeps his feet on the ground. Comrade 86, derbydaz22 and RoyMac5 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nottingram Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 Hopefully we use him next year. There is a real scarcity of strikers around, producing your own is genuinely the only option unless you want to spend a few million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very complimentary. https://www.theguardian.com/football/article/2024/may/11/solihull-gateshead-fa-trophy-final-match-report#comments Brown, an 18-year-old Derby loanee, is arguably the most exciting talent to play non-league football this season. As soon as August, he is expected to compete for Championship game time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ram59 Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 With his goal scoring success recently, I was surprised that he was 8th choice to take a penalty in the shoot out, But he was so calm when he did, unfortunately for my Moors lads. His quality shone through in key brief moments during the game, great control and left foot inside pass for the first goal and excellent anticipation to be Jonny on the spot for a simple tap in for the second goal. Watching the replay on the big screen , although the cross was way over his head, he was already moving to get into position for the knock back, great instincts required by top strikers. I'm looking forward to him getting some game time during pre season and hoping that he goes on from there.

At least it would give the club's staff some confidence in whether he could step up to the Championship for the 2nd half of the season. My thoughts exactly. He may well be able to make the step up to the championship but let’s not forget, he’s still only made about 20 appearances at senior level - the vast majority of those games being at non league level. Would we be wetting ourselves over any other young player with such a limited senior career if they weren’t already a Derby player? If Warne, and the rest of the coaching staff that have seen him play and train think he’s ready then bring him in. But, if they’re not yet sure then a loan to a league 1 team (until the end of the year rather than a season long loan?) might be a more prudent way forward. As you say though, dependent on who else we are able to sign in the summer. Zag zig, Caerphilly Ram, DiggerB and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlsonDerby Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 A brilliant achievement. I always think a good test for this is ‘would you sign a player from Gateshead who has just had his end to the season with one eye on getting him in the first team or would you be signing them to send them out on a loan at a top league 2/ league 1 club to gain experience?’ Don’t want to balls up his development by throwing him in too early. I guess pre season will give us a better idea. FlyBritishMidland, Caerphilly Ram and Kathcairns 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sage Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 You have to manage game time at his age. He doesn't need a full season starting. Perhaps half a season on our bench and if he doesn't force his way to starting, then half a season L1 loan.

A future star if he keeps his feet on the ground. The assist stood out for me. That first touch was absolute filth and the pass weighted to perfection. Not too many 18 year olds have that in their locker at any level. I do agree though, that expectations should be tempered a little, as Championship football is a whole different kettle of fish, as we all know and you'd also think we'll be looking to recruit in his position too, which could make things even tougher. Good problems at last though and for me, the upcoming pre-season looks like being the most interesting in years. angieram and Ramarena 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean (hick) Saunders Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 (edited) I personally think this will have influenced the number of strikers that PW will look to recruit. Having Brown as 4th choice does (not*) seem too risky. *Thanks TamworthRam Edited May 12 by Dean (hick) Saunders Tamworthram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
