Br 1st ol Posted September 27, 2004 Report Share Posted September 27, 2004 On the Vale website, the fans rate Brooker as a 5 star player... great you might think, until you realise that Lee Matthews has the same rating! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bristolcityup Posted September 27, 2004 Report Share Posted September 27, 2004 apparently his goals of late have dried up at port vale according the the E.P today, oh well this should be another qaulity signing then with no higher division experience!

Gerry Gows' Tash Posted September 27, 2004 Report Share Posted September 27, 2004 We don't need a bloody goal scorer ! we have strikers coming out of our arse and the second highest goals scored in the divison, we need a defensive midfielder and/or a big ulgly ******* as competition/cover for Butler and Coles !

elhombrecito Posted September 27, 2004 Report Share Posted September 27, 2004 This thread just reminded me or something.. Did BristolCityUp ever don a Rovers kit after losing his bet that Carey would re-sign for City? ← Or indeed buy the whole forum team a pint?

MarkyBoyPVFC Posted September 27, 2004 Report Share Posted September 27, 2004 On of our directors has come online and stated they don't comment on media speculation. I think that's pretty much a rejection of these rumours and I'd say it's just a slow news day down your end. As for him being out of contract, he has himself stated he wants to think things over so don't read anything into him not having signed yet, sorry.

However, we have also conceded almost as many which is why we are in the bottom half of the table - the problem is at the other end of the pitch surely ?????????????????

Guest Jamesonjoe Posted September 27, 2004 Report Share Posted September 27, 2004 I have to agree with the Tash the problem is not in the forward area it is in conceeding goals.So it would make more sense going in for a hard as nails defender.

screech Posted September 27, 2004 Report Share Posted September 27, 2004 Of course the problem is defending, 4 goals against us at Bradford, 3 at Vale 2 against Swinetown, 3 against Udders, 2 at Barnsley, 2 at Bournemouth, to me this says we can't defend. Previous seasons shouldn't come into it, this is the season that counts and all the league games bar Posh and Stockport we have shipped goals. A defender is surely a high priority as well as a left midfielder on loan until Goodfellow and Bell are both ready for 1st team action. Why don't we look to loan first to see if it makes a difference, surely there are players in the Champ that aren't getting games and could do a job for us.

Mr Mosquito Posted September 27, 2004 Report Share Posted September 27, 2004 I've got to agree with Screech and all the others that maintain that signing some good defenders should be our priority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This in turn allows more time for the defence to organise than they do now.We need the ball to stick up front more, and with a decent big Target man this does tend to happen ....if tactically aware.
