Ah, Simon Clown.

Not a good keeper.

The reason a lot of Darlo fans rated him was because they were just trying to convince themselves.

The reason Clown kept Oakes out of the team, and the reason we've signed Gerken, is because none of the management alledgedly rate Oakes. I'm not certain our management really rated Clown that highly, I know I didn't.

Please. Just take him back, for free. We will pay you?

He looked just great in the warmup yesterday - what a bargain just waiting to be snapped up by a discerning manager

If he isn't much good at stopping goals maybe he could score some. Andy could try him up front?:D

Trouble is, he'd run away from any crosses that came in his direction....

Passed by GP today and saw Simon Brown putting a shovel into the boot of his car - said he was heading up to Morecambe to help clear the pitch of snow. So he's clearly part of our plans to push for automatic promotion :)

Couldn't you have got out and tw*tted him around the head with it?:idea:

What ever his faults,its not his problem he's here.Butcher( k un t) signed him on his agreed contract.He wants to play,and is available to play.Unless he can be off loaded he will still redeem ( sp)? his contracted pay

Exactly, I don't like this business in football where a player who doesnt play well gets abused and generally disliked. Simon Brown hasn't exactly done a Brooker, yet because he plays badly he gets hated. While I understand a lot of it is tongue in cheek, there is still a great number of fans who will liturely (sp) hate a player because he is on high wages and not playing well.

Lets give the guy a break now eh. I am sure if an offer had come in he would have moved on. i am also pretty sure that he didnt intend to have a bad run of form last season and Butcher was hardly the motivator was he. He was in the starting lineup of a Darlo side that was top of the table for quite a while. I'm just glad at this stage that we have an experienced keeper on the bench. His return has hardly unsettled the side has it?
 

Simon Brown Returns

I'll jump on this bandwagon. He has been out getting league 2 experience, not making his blunders with us, playing in front of different crowds.
Now he is back, with a different squad and different manager around him. I'm not saying he should start with a clean slate - his history here should prevent him from being first choice! But I reckon he needs to fight for his place - and AS should make it clear (as I am sure he has) that if he fights for his place, he has as much chance as anyone as getting in the team.
Saying that, I am fully prepared for him to be sh*t, and looking forward to getting rid if he doesn't step it up!

Simon Brown is very rubbish, I'm sure he's a lovely guy and that orange top at Darlo looked nice on him. However that's where my niceness ends as I was at Morecambe and at Lincoln and everywhere else that led you to think that he is very crap and I pray that we don't need to use him.

I was just so disappointed when we signed him. He had proved over the years at Colchester and Hibs that he was at best an average FL quality journeyman keeper and then to give him a 2 year deal smacked of incompetence at a very high level (as you could say re Pead, Thorpe and Mackie too).

We already had a more than decent journeyman keeper in Abbey who I would bet the house earned a lot less then Brown and was just as good.

Assuming he had been happy to stay then I would not have been displeased to have seen him start as first choice last season.

I don't think the Hamer move was planned as if I remember correctly Brown injured himself just before the Mansfield game.

Yep - I could never quite figure why we ditched Abbey. Nothing special, but he did a job. Why replace like for like - apart from, as you say, probably a much higher wage?
Just goes to reflect on how cack Butcher really was.
