We don’t want to put too much pressure on a young lad who clearly has talent and we know footy is a team game, but in the absence of a summer transfer market splurge by manager Danny Wilson, Brown could be a key player.
Of course a lot of other factors will contribute to whether Pools have a good, average or bad season – how well they defend, how well they win the ball and create chances and how well they attack as a team.
But if they have somebody to score goals regularly and put opposing defences under pressure, as Brown us surely capable of doing, they might just prove a few of the doubters – including Poolsonline – wrong.

At the end of last season, it was hoped that Wilson would be able to sign a few new players during the summer, but so far he has only added two new faces to the list of players likely to be competing for first team places – midfield players Alan Power from Nottingham Forest (above left) and Richie Jones from Manchester United (above right, playing for Yeovil).
Both have the pedigree to do well, but their arrivals at the Vic have not exactly set the fans buzzing.
Pools are said to be very fit, they have done quite well in their pre-season campaign and they are all raring to go.
But so is every other team in League Two – or, at least, they should be.
Success or failure will boil down to whether a team can win when they play well, still earn points when they aren’t at their best and limit the number of defeats to an absolute minimum.

Wilson’s backroom staff have got the squad fit, they are a good bunch of professionals and they want to do well. But many bookies have written pools off as also-rans at best.
