Watch him when he is fit, the way he judges when to hold the ball, when to lay it off, when to flick it to a supporting player. If you don't see that, you don't understand football. There was a moment against Blackburn early this season that was reminiscent of van Nistelrooj at his best. He won a long ball from the back with the centre half trying to flatten him. Took the ball down close to the touch line. The centre half had him in his pocket, harrying him out of play. No support in sight. Nowhere to go. Then Brown did a Cruyff turn on a sixpence and was away behind the back line. A joy to see. Best moment of football in the entire season. And his vision and execution for the move that led to Sharp winning a penalty against Charlton was the second best. We are privileged to have a player like him playing for us. A worker with a football brain. They come along rarely.Not only that, his ability to win territory and calm a game down is top class.You'll have noticed it, when he has his back to a defender waiting for the ball and throws himself down winning a free kick at least 3-4 times per game. Takes pressure off and wins us precious yards every time. Clever guy, even if it is a bit naughty of him.

With Turnbull behind them that is a pretty decent spine to the team.
