Killiepie Posted February 16, 2020 Report Share Posted February 16, 2020 I’m all for having a shot but sometimes he needs to look at other options. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post GrazyKillie Posted February 16, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 16, 2020 He scored an absolute topper against the huns in midweek because he is selfish. You can’t have it both ways. Brophy does some amount of running and puts a massive amount of effort in. If he didn’t care about the team he wouldn’t do that. Wise up 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he’s running back the length of the pitch to win the ball back, chasing shadows, closing down defenders, sorting out his own mistakes, defending from the front etc? I complete disagree. Poor man’s Firmino in that regard (which I view as a massive compliment). When he’s hell bent on cutting inside for a shot when there are various options open to him but the blinkers go up? Agree to an extent. Obviously if he could sort out the minor weaknesses in his game he’d be worth a fortune, but he’s a striker - they’re all about goals, so have no issue with his desire to keep chasing chances.

Harrogate Peter Posted February 16, 2020 Report Share Posted February 16, 2020 To be fair when he was up there on his own there usually wasn't an option. If I was Kabamba I'd be frustrated with him and if he hasn't already manager needs to have a word. Even worse was the lack of anticipation both shared at umpteen crosses. Rory guilty of that too. Chris Burke showed how it's done. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KFC_Macca Posted February 16, 2020 Report Share Posted February 16, 2020 He’s by far our biggest goal threat 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojike and Bod Posted February 16, 2020 Report Share Posted February 16, 2020 He was very poor today but so was Kabamba. The worrying thing is we have no one on the bench to replace either striker if they are off it. Two poor transfer windows are the reason we won’t finish in the top 6. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brophy is still a young player, and is now in the early stages of learning how to play with a strike partner after years of being 50 yards from anyone in a Killie strip. It’ll take time but shows promise. And irrespective of anything else I absolutely love Brophy’s attitude. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ngonge88 Posted February 16, 2020 Report Share Posted February 16, 2020 Not that he doesn't care about the team. But his decision making is poor >80% of the time. He was very frustrating today with his decisions, one in particular 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s 23 and still a young player with at least decade ahead of him. He’s still learning and has the potential to keep getting better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorfolkG Posted February 16, 2020 Report Share Posted February 16, 2020 Brophy has an outstanding work ethic. Busts a gut for the team. And he likes a shot - f**king good. A loss - and an unlucky one at that - and we get this kind of post again. Do me a favour. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piffer Posted February 16, 2020 Report Share Posted February 16, 2020 Aside from one I thought he had every right to take his shots on today. You’ve got to by a ticket to win the raffle. People around me moaning when he took one on with his left when he had a clear sight. No striker on the planet is passing that weak foot or not. He’s on a decent run of goals so obviously he’s looking to shoot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killie billies pal Posted February 16, 2020 Report Share Posted February 16, 2020 We couldn’t get one bit of luck today and had a stone wall penalty turned away in closing moments ( as per Sportsound) , every one of those players deserve a medal for their excerpts in the past two games, with just a wee break we would have come away with 4 points from Rangers and Hibs.

He plays for the team and at times he's greedy when he shouldn't be and other times he's greedy when he's got every right to be. Brophy would get a game for every club in the country with the exception of two. To that extent we're lucky to have him, plenty of time for him to improve his decision making. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scouser2 Posted February 16, 2020 Report Share Posted February 16, 2020 Brophy has proved time and time again he is a team player ...his work rate especially when playing that sole striker role in so many games was a credit to the player ...so original post is very strange He does however still need to improve on areas of his attacking game especially learning different ways to score such as his movement in the box when crosses coming in......and to at times be more aware of others 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can’t have it both ways. Brophy does some amount of running and puts a massive amount of effort in. If he didn’t care about the team he wouldn’t do that. Wise up He scored a topper because his strike partner flicked the ball on for him to have the opportunity. If his strike partner had selfishly chosen to retain the ball or attempted to score with an overhead kick, we wouldn’t have scored the winner. However nobody is having a go at Brophy for taking on chances like the one against rangers. He was in a good position with no support with a better opportunity. That wasn’t always the case today though. Fine margins will define this season for us. We cannot afford to squander chances to satisfy any players ego.
