I wouldn't be a massive fan of Browne but he does pop up with a goal here and there and in fairness was impressive in last two game and a few other games. Due to our complete lack of midfield quality, he is a good squad option at minute.

Browne really should have kicked on after the 17/18 or 18/19 season to the next level so to speak. That he didn’t good luck to him don’t know his circumstances but he has stagnated a touch in recent years as a result at Preston. He has started this season brilliantly and agreed I thought he did well against France in particular himself helped by Collins did a proper number on Mbappe. Would be unreal to see Preston continue their promotion push.

For John, Hendrick and Smallbone can do little wrong, Molumby can do little right.

Where have Molumby's performances dropped? He got slaughtered on here after France, but as I've already said he completed more passes than any other player. He's simply getting scapegoated. Browne has improved a lot technically to the point he's competent on the ball, but he's still quite robotic in his movement and clearly it doesn't come naturally to him. Molumby ain't Pirlo, but he came through at Brighton and it's fairly obvious he has a more natural touch for the intricate stuff than Browne does.

Not for me Bob, headless chicken, lacks composure, looked to be improving for a while last season but has reverted to his ineffective runabout style lately. Browne looks to have found a bit extra to his game this season, might just be a short term thing, but he's certainly in form at the moment and affecting games positively. Playing with confidence, miles clear of Jayson on current form. Cullen hasnt been great for Ireland lately but he retains credit in the bank for me, plus I'd expect him to improve for the experience in the PL although that's not a given either. It's Cullen, Knight and one of Browne or Smallbone for me. Molumby as the third just renders the whole midfield too negative for me.

What's Hendrick got to do with anything? He's nowhere near starting any more. Molumby was arguably WBA's best performer last year, the fans love him. He's got Browne's athleticism and is a more natural footballer, it's that simple. Cullen is a significantly better footballer who has some ability to dictate play from deep, there's no choice between him and Browne, it's between Browne and Molumby.

You seem to imagine Hendrick is always bossing the game even when he's only touched the ball twice on 90 minutes to make 2 sideways passes. Browne consistently outperforms Molumby at both club and international level so for the moment at least that makes him a better player by a clear margin. I'd rate his ability level similar to that of Cullen, very good championship performer but maybe a little short of Premier league class. Difference to Cullen though is he makes more direct impact on a game(in a positive way anyway). If we have any promising attacking moments in a match Browne will often be prominent in them - Cullen seldom.

I can't see him leaving Preston. He must be considered club legend there. It will be 10 years at the club at the start of 2024. Preston are in with a chance this season. Play-offs at worst. |

First post I saw when I searched Browne on ybig. The thing is you'll always nearly have to scroll back a few pages to find the Browne thread. Look id imagine he's fairly settled in life now can only see him moving clubs if he doesn't have to move house etc.

A fair assessment. I'd agree with the other poster too, he get's more criticism then he deserves. When you play in a crap team most players look crap. But some get more blame for it then others. |

Disagree, Cullen has been poor the last 4-5 games, but in general has been good and demonstrates an ability to dictate play beyond Browne's ability. Molumby's been excellent under Kenny - he's been chosen as a scapegoat (like so many other Irish midfielder's before him) due to the crime of not being Pirlo. He was picked out vs France for supposedly hiding from the ball, but as the stats later showed he had more completed passes than any other Irish player in that game despite only playing 67 minutes. Himself and Browne are extremely similar in many ways, but Molumby has more natural ability and a higher ceiling ultimately.

Out of contract next summer. Big decision for him to stick with Preston or push for a move like Lenihan who was in a similar position 12 months ago.

He performs better than any other midfielder we have who is at any point considered a regular starter under Kenny so for that in itself is reason enough for him to be a regular starter. Agreed about his overall ability level, but that still places him equal to or above our alternative midfield options at the moment.
