Guest MaccaJK Posted December 9, 2006 Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 Brooker.same can be said in first half vs swansea. wasn't there today but sounded like he made an impact. he makes the rest of the squad look mediocre and thats when he's off form! when he's on form he is one of the best players city have had this decade. at least on good thing came from tinnions management!

thatcham red Posted December 9, 2006 Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 Actually, Brooker's emergence also coincided with Enoch's best spell of the game when he was moved out wide.If we're to attack Millwall, I'd start with that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OmegaSnake Posted December 9, 2006 Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 Good to hear brooker played well when he game on, could anyone tell me what he did well? what impact he made when he came on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nogginthenog Posted December 9, 2006 Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 Brooker.Careful you'll start Sarah B off again!! You are bang on though, always felt we'd get back into it today once he came off the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhatWill Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 Brooker.Hmmm...he's like the effect of taking painkillers. Yes we played better when he was on the pitch...but what did he actually do???? Shocking touch and generally looked far from match fit.Bit sick of the Brooker love-in to be honest.Some lads out on the pitch today deserved far more credit than he did, that's for sure.Type of comment I'd expect from a northern exile to be fair, who doesn't watch City enough on a regular basis.

Guest SarahB Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 Brooker.Oh yes definately!! I'm glad you said this as if i said it you would all accuse me of being biased. He needs to start against Millwall up top with Jevo and Enoch outwide. It works!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't even make sense he was the difference yesterday which is why he needs to start on Saturday. If he would have been bought on earlier yesterday i reckon we could have gone on to win the match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will has said he did nothing, and by the radio commentary he didn't do a awful lot either. Enlighten me.He lifted the rest of the players when he came on and the way he controlled the ball and laid it on for the other lads was second to none. Its mainly his prescence as well. The system of him and Jevo uptop with Enoch outwide works and thats what we need to start with on Saturday!! If only he would have been bought on earlier yesterday i reckon we could have came back with all 3 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rednready Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 In my pre 10 years, we had a street gang of 11 with some part timers. Like every post war gang we had a heavy dude, an enforcer, not always our best footballer or cricketer, but definately "the man". We had such a lad, called ****** Newbury. We relied on him, and always felt more comfortable when he was around............ the Brooker factor ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But his footballing contribution was average. He had a few misplaced passes and was on his arse for half the time he was on the field it seemed to me.

exiledinwatford Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 I hope we all agree that a fit, sharp Steve Brooker would probably be the first name on the team sheet. Yesterday he looked a little sluggish and certainly not at his sharpest. IMO he's probably 90 mins away and another weeks' training before Millwall will help - nothing to worry about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its makes me so mad no wonder he suffers with injury problems he doesn't get any protection from the officials!! He was even accused of backing into their player at one point absolutely ridiculous!!His footballing contribution was excellent didn't you notice how he was holding that ball up!?!?

exiledinwatford Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 Actually McCallister's great ball and Scottys' superb control and finish was the difference but the side certainly improved when Brooks came on. IMO that was because Enoch was wide left and gave us the attacking option that was missing when Scott Brown was on the park.Can't remember a Brooks attempt at goal - even you SarahB can't tell us that Brooks is back to his terrific best yet????????

Yes well i did say thats what we should have started with Brooks and Jevo uptop and Enoch outwide. It really does work and thats what we need to start with on Saturday. Brooks was holding the ball up superbly for others to shoot at goal. Yes there is undoubtably more to come from Brooks. But there is no getting away from the fact he was the difference yesterday.

Just been to the EPost website and I quote -"City battled back and in the closing stages Steve Brooker came off the bench to salvage a point. The 25-year-old unleashed a 30-yard thunderbolt which gave Neil Cutler no chance."You're right after all - it was Brooks who made the difference!

Get a grip sarah, you're not always right. Everyone has their opinions and they use this forum to voice them, he didn't really make any difference atall, seeing as it was Mccalisters brilliant ball, and murrays finish.

I can remember at least 2 occassions when he mis-controlled the ball, getting it tangled up in his feet or falling over.He's not back to his best by any stretch (worryingly he didn't look particularly sharp earlier in the season either) and it's a disservice to the other players yesterday to say 'Brooker made all the difference', we've coped well when he hasn't played ie when he was in jail.Brooker needs games under his belt but I'm not sure if he'll start against Millwall. I think Johnson will stick with Jevo and Showumni.

Oh no you are going by what was said on the radio Brooks was the difference in the game yesterday my mum was listening to the commentary and she said they said just that on there too so you must have pretended you didn't hear that bit or something Trust me i was there and he was the difference. If he would have been bought on any earlier i reckon we may well have come away with all 3 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
