Cam Bragg

[SaintNewForest]

What an impressive season hes had, really. 

From last season when he had a disastrous loan spell af Crawley. Didn't find a loan move in the summer, no sniff of the first team and just seeing his contract out, and then Blackburn away where he was thrown in unexpectedly and it was a disaster  

Fast forward to now and he's just dominated the premier league leaders, having looked solid in all his games since Eckert took charge. 

Just goes to show the value of patience and faith in a young player, and that you can't judge a player based on a failed loan.

The loans system is a bit weird like that:

Bree & Charles played great on loan, played great with us

Ronnie Edwards played great on loan, not so much with us

Bragg - not great at Crawley, doing great so far

I think it must really depend on the circumstances of the player and the destination club. So many ways it can not be a great fit. Having someone who can consistently get young players loaned to the right clubs would be a considerable financial advantage to the club in the long run.

His Blackburn appearance epitomised the Saints season at that stage. Absolute shambles. Recall he was thrown on without a name on his shirt which just about summed up where we were. Then he had a start with Tonda and everyone thought that was a brave move by the manager and Bragg didn't do much wrong. To yesterday when without Downes I thought we would struggle but he looked really solid. Really pleased for him.

As I said the new new Michael Carrick. I used to think he was a great player and should have been in the England team. Sort of player every team needs, not spectacular but keeps a team ticking over with a great range of passing. I see him developing into that role over the next year or two

Bragg is a good player. Neat and today and picks up good positions

[Toadhall Saint]

Was excellent yesterday.

There's a worst case scenario this summer that if we don't go up we could lose Downes, Charles and Jander to other clubs. Having Bragg around would definitely lessen that loss. Not that I think we will lose all 3 of them but it's possible.

Cam Bragg was class again last night 😊 so calm and composed on the ball.

[so22saint]

I thought Bragg was great, and a mate pointed out today that we played 5 a side with his Dad (as did anybody at JD Fives at Eastleigh) 🤣

[JohnnyShearer2.0]

Gonna be needed next season when Jander and Charles have gone. 😐

Average Joe in league 1 if he reaches his ceiling. Charles came on and scored the winner. Still waiting for apologies from a number of posters who laughed at me saying Charles should be playing ahead of him. As if anyone needs to point that out. 
 

Bragg is basically the new Bazunu. The penny takes longer to drop for some of you.

??? Odd post. Bragg has done well and is growing as a player I feel. 

Charles is ahead of Bragg as a player currently and Tonda is tweaking the team on a weekly basis. 

Was there many people laughing at you saying Charles should start ahead of Bragg? I don't recall people saying that on here.

Cam Bragg makes the game look very simple which is a sure sign of a quality player. He does most things really well but one of the things I like is the way he closes down our opponents passing lanes. There will be big clubs looking at him soon.
