Can see the similarities you suggest.
However best goals of his for me were either at villa away or his absolute rocket Barnsley away

Yeovil away wasn't bad he was miles out.

Thought he was very good for us today in the middle and really knocked the ball around well. Also thought Livermore was good today, bar the one awful pass.

Thought he was mixed, did the simple stuff okay but too many hit and hope balls not just from Brunt though to be fair.

He needs to be out wide, the cross from the free kick to Rondon showed what an asset he is from wide, like to see him at left back next season if Gibbs moves on with a new central midfielder coming in or maybe more than one.

50th assist in the Premier League for Brunt. Well done to him. Just for interest, our next biggest is Morrison on 24

Very relieved Brunt hasn't got a release clause. Ideal for any other club outside the top 6 for a year or two.

No release clause doesn't mean no offers, though I expect he will be with us next season. We haven't exactly been deluged with offers for him over the last 10 years.

Did anyone else notice him hurl the ball in the refs direction after the first goal?
He was livid after the lino didn't give offside in the build up, then as the ref was running towards the halfway line Brunt took the ball from the net and bowled it overarm. I would say he definitely threw it towards the ref, because the ref was towards the dugouts near halfway. From where I was (Woodman) it didn't look like it missed by too much, but I was some distance away

Shows he cares

Jeez! thats all we need, a players committee

50th Premier League assist for us Saturday. Only the 36th player to hit that overall, and he is now on the same number as Dwight Yorke, Nicky Barmby, and Mesut Ozil.

Saturday was also his 371st appearance for us, moving him into the top twenty of all time.

Absolute Albion legend.

It's a shame he's not going to knock odemwingie off the top spot for goals. But even so. Considering he's got 50 assists in 260 premier league games. That's a really good return.

Really pleased that Brunty wants to stay on. We need players with commitment to the club.

Chris Brunt is on Radio 5 Live very shortly discussing what has changed under Darren Moore. Thought it may be of interest to some.

Has he been on? If so, what was said?

Barrington · « **Reply #3041 on:** May 08, 2018, 03:41:33 PM »

Yeah, he was on, but not for a massive amount of time. Didn't say anything too controversial to be honest. Just that Big Dave had brought unity etc etc. You didn't miss much

I hold the man in high regard but can someone tell me when the last time Chris Brunt scored a free kick? I swear he used to score them regularly?

Without a deflection? Everton away about 8 years ago I think

Not sure he was ever a specialist, weakest part of his game for me. Just because he has such a fierce shot and his other set pieces are that delicious that the sky commentators built him up.

This aside for those who are staying he's captain again for me next season

Definitely captain next year. Midfield will need building around him. 100 percent starter next year. Possibly alongside Field who I'm yet to be convinced by.

Keep him for his experience. Mozza has been a great servant to the club but too injury prone. Time to say thank you,goodbye and good luck.

HampshireBaggie · « **Reply #3049 on:** May 13, 2018, 06:52:34 PM »

No way should we be moving him on. Heâ€™ll be absolutely fine in the Championship which is probably his level now but at 33 that is no criticism.

Heâ€™s almost a one club man and we need to look after our own. Iâ€™d be keeping him around as long as we can for experience and moving him into the coaching set up. No way should we be simply discarding Brunt if we are looking to build an identity.
