Blimey, Forest in the play offs. They’re up, down, in and out more than Wrexham this season! Interested to see Brennan’s second, sounds like a cracker Here's the Brennan show for all interested. Both goals were classy! The second has to be the better of the two though, as that's the finish of an elite player www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ej42SFI7J0Q&ab_channel=SkySportsFootballYeah that second goal is a peach. The BBC page made it sound like it stemmed from a goalkeeping error but seeing where he picks up the ball he shouldn’t be scoring from there and there’s not that much danger. He’s done it all off his own back and that’s such a good touch to put it in the net. There was a Messi-like quality about how he anticipates what the opponent is going to do and adapts on the fly, right down to the keeper going low and him clipping it over him. |

At this rate he starts over Dan James for me

James starts for me but if things aren't working Brennan is the first we should turn to He's done far more than Dan James this season, and at the current rate I think Dan is better suited as an impact sub against tired legs. |

Dan James has a lot of credit in the bank and is still a better defensive player than Brennan. Brennan is now showing that he has superior quality, so it really depends what we're trying to achieve
For me in the playoff final I'd rather have James for that defensive work rate, and then if we're chasing a goal bring Brennan on
If we're playing against a team that sits deeper, maybe Brennan does have a claim to start ahead of James

Just watching those goals again, the lad can finish. He's way ahead of Mark Harris, who I like but is a terrible finisher, probably neck and neck with James now but had he started against Austria instead of James I have a feeling that we may have won more comfortably, Brennan would have scored one of the chances that James had, he's more direct when going at goal.

12 goals in his last 21 appearances for Forest, 15 for the season, no idea what his assist stats are like but I can imagine they're pretty similar. 20 years old, we've got one hell of a player on our hands, I don't like to compare but was Jack Grealish doing this at Villa when he was 20?

Just checked, 6 assists for the season, genuinely thought he was on double figures but it would be interesting to see his involvement in goals, he seems to be involved in everything with Forest.

Not updated for today. He now has 14 goals and 7 assists www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/championship/top-scorersAs stated a long time ago the great thing is he is a natural, creative footballer and always seems to make correct, quick decisions. This season he has also shown he is a goalscorer. Not bad for a 20 year old The most exciting thing is his rate of development has been exponential over the past 18-24 months. He seems to have a high ceiling. Just needs to up his work rate and be a bit more involved in the game and then we will have a top, top player |

Grealish played in quite a few different positions at Villa in the Championship, but he was largely playing as a CM/AM and wasn't playing as high up the pitch as Brennan is at the moment as an attacking winger. Grealish's Championship stats were:  Johnson's this season, minus his goal and game today, are:  |

As a Forest supporter for over 40 years pre clough era Brennan is one of the most natural players ive seen. He has another season on his contract and the best place for him to be is at Forest even if we are not promoted. He will have guaranteed game time and will only improve under Cooper. What Wales do not need if they qualify for the world cup is for him to be like Dan James was at Man U just a bench warmer in the last part of his stay. I want Brennan to rip it up at the finals so if Forest have to sell in January it becomes a bidding war for his talent. im certain that certain clubs will want his talent and that he will not become a free agent as that widens the market up as all the clubs in the prem could afford him as Forest will only recieve compensation money for his development due to his age.

If he moves to a new club there will be questions about whether he can make the first team, whether he can adapt to the top flight, if he starts slow it might be hard to get in the team. There's a lot more uncertainty. Obviously if Forest don't go up he'll more than likely move, and I think he is ready for the top flight. But if Forest make it, it's that bit more certain for him & it will be a great thing for his Wales prospects I agree with 60sred in that sense |

He’s certainly got that Bale-like knack of putting the ball right where the opponent doesn’t want it. More typically referred to as “the corridor of uncertainty”

A sort of Leeds level of club. Obviously if he were to go to a West Ham or whoever then he’ll have a harder time developing and it might be counter intuitive. Imo he should be looking to test himself sooner rather than later. He seems to be a bit more of a cut above than other Welsh players who might be knocking on the door of the prem but with doubts over how good they could be |

This discussion about whether he is worthy of a decent Premiership team. The guy is a natural footballer, makes good decisions all the time and is extremely productive. His Forest team mates let him down so much by not being at his level / being on the same wavelength. Even their so called good players don't see his runs a lot of the time
I reckon the higher the level he plays, the better he will be, purely because better players will anticipate what he is doing,
