spectator Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 I know Alan Sugar says "Hindsight is the best management tool ever invented"............but if Byfield was being released, would it have made more sense to have Brooker on the bench at Wembley ? Apparently he was fit and disppointed not to be included in some way. Lots of chances went begging, I know it's easy to say after the event,..... but just a thought.

kamikazee Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 did byefield know this, didn't he scrap to win past 2 defenders only to balls a pass but still ran with spirit. reckon the decision was made after. must have only been in as he was used as an impact player so gamble was placed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a good point, and I would like to have had brooker on the bench, but GJ said the squad would be those that have contributed most this season and Byfield contributed alot, especially the first half of the season!

wiggles Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 Byfield got himself three decent chances, on another day might have got the equaliser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 Brooker the forgotten man could of well made a difference, and could of even cancelled the need to go to Wembley; :noexpression: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spectator Posted May 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 Brooker the forgotten man could of well made a difference, and could of even cancelled the need to go to Wembley; :noexpression: Just a debating point, and we'll never know now. Hopefully Brooks will come back, stay fit now that the knee problem seems to have been corrected. If he gets a flying start gets games / goals in, we'll all be happy again. Such a shame about Saturday, just seen Hulls celebrations back in their home town. If GJ is as astute next season as this we'll be ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kachina Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 I get the feeling we have seen Brooker in a City shirt for the last time; I expect him, Betsy and Wilson to all be put up on the transfer list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rednready Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 There were posters saying that Brooker was fit for the Palace game at the gate and Wembley. I have a criticism about the zero information from the club on certain player matters. Nothing encouraging about Ribiero or Artus for months. Not a word about Brooker when he was supposedly available, so are the fans supposed to be mushrooms ? Back to January, SL said an attempt had been made to obtain Lita. Thing being, the last time Brooker and a young raw Lita got together, they scored around 49 goals. Obviously if a combination worked that well, it would be worth pursuing. SL obviously thought so. So where does Brooker stand with the club ? He has a season left on his contract, he's only 27. Does GJ want to give him more rest and get him ready for a big season ahead, or is hoping for outside offers ? Be nice to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redhyde Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 I think it's unreasonable to ask every single game why every single player was and wasn't selected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
