CodeRed Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 According to the doctor Brooker is out for 3/4 weeks.Problem is - Tins hasn't got 4 weeksHe is looking to let Brooker decide himself if he can play against medical adviceTins is getting desparate now, if Brooker plays he is likely to break down after 20 mins or do some worse damage - Tins needs to get in a loan target man NOWPresumably Lee Peacock said no to coming on loan as Tins denied it all.Bristol Boy has consistently posted all summer about the need for 2 Target men as we had no cover if Brooks was injured and so it has provedAlthough I don't think he has the skills to manage successfully you have to admitthat Tins luck with injuries has been terrible (Stewart Brooker Russell)http://www.westpress.co.uk/displayNode.jsp...tentPK=13155024 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wed wobin Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 Didn't it go to show last night what a decent manager can do with a limited squad of players. Tinnion has stressed enough that we have squad capable of winning the league, injuries will come & go but without leadership makes absolutely no difference.

Nibor Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 Maybe Brookers absence will force us to play something resembling football?I like him and he's a great player at this level but he gives the defence the option of hoofing it and it appears the tempation is too much for them.Nibor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Cloud Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 thought we have 2 quality players in every position? - so no problem & no excuses then (yeah right!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We only have one Brooker type player, and about 4 other players who are similar to eachother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taz Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 Clayton can be our target manOr am I just having terrible flashbacks of the Wilson era. Please god don't let it happen again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbored Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 No-ones mentioned Gillespie and Bridges up front.Not target men I know but a capable pair of strikers nonetheless.Cotterill can also play as a striker and his pace could be a usefull outlet if Tinnion decides to play on the break at Swansea.

Gerry Gows' Tash Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 Bridges in the hole, Cotterill and Gillespie up front ? 2 quick strikers and a gifted playmaker putting quality balls into the box, on the deck - could be a revelation ?!

Though I'd be tempted to play Bridges and Gillespie up front with Wilkshire in the hole - worked away at Tranmere last season.-------------------Phillips-----------------------Keogh------Heywood-----Partridge---Murray-----Brown------Smith----Golbourne----------------Wilkshire-----------------------------------Bridges-------Gillespie---------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tinnion has stressed enough that we have squad capable of winning the league, injuries will come & go but without leadership makes absolutely no difference.←You're absolutely right: its all down to leadership, and inspiring players ....giving them belief and commitment ..a "never say die" attitude.Northern Ireland showed these qualities, last night, under a motivational manager - even though , individually, the NI players were clearly inferior to the opposition. As a team, they worked hard for each other. There's a parallel, here, with so called "modest" teams in our division...who have managers who can lead: Brentford, Luton (last year) and Plymouth (previously) spring to mind. The last two got out of our division by graft and organization.Does anyone think Tins has the capability to lead, as well as manage?Methinks not!
