Zak Brunt Signs

I don’t particularly rate Sam, but do think we’ve underused him this season. He’s got a definite chaos value that could well have been useful for 20/30 minutes towards the end of some of the games we’ve been chasing.

From what I’ve seen so far I don’t rate Sam either. The occasional flash of brilliance does not cover for the long spells where he does very little or gets caught out trying to do too much. However credit where due, on Saturday he caused a lot of problems for a tiring Wrexham and used the ball very well at times. The two misses were terrible but maybe understandable as he’s not had a lot of match time and his confidence is probably low right now. Playing regularly with confidence and he buries both of those without thinking about it, it’s the uncertainty in his head that caused him to miss them both imo.

Brunt has left Southend this afternoon.

That's half the rumour true...

Basically confirmed by the Southend press. Not sure how he fits in to the starting side really, but you’d say it’s a big drop off to O’Brien or Mitchell if any of Roberts, Vincent or Rodrigues are missing so hopefully he solves that.

We have completed the signing of Sheffield United midfielder Zak Brunt on loan until the end of the season.

Brunt, 20, is a product of the Blades’ academy and is fresh from a tremendously successful loan spell at our fellow National League side Southend United, who he joined at the end of August having played 90 minutes in United’s EFL Cup victories over Carlisle and Derby at Bramall Lane.

And Ian Burchnall believes Brunt will give us a huge boost as we head into the second half of the season.

“Zak’s someone we’ve had our eye on for a while,” revealed the head coach. “He played against us for Southend a few weeks ago, which gave us a chance to take a look at him up close, and his performance only reaffirmed our thoughts that he’s a quality player with a bright future.

“He is very, very technical and can play the holding role, as a number-eight or off a centre forward, so adds depth in the midfield area which will be crucial given the Covid situation and the many important games we have coming up.”

Brunt, who will not be eligible for Buildbase FA Trophy matches having featured in the competition for Southend, will wear squad number 27.

An interview with him will follow later today.
