bh red Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 Think Enoch had every right to take the ball from McAllister I'd imagine he is 1st choice pen taker after Jevons, suprised Brooker didn't try to take it, perhaps he just doesn't have the bottle, don't think I've seen him take a pen to be honest, personally I want players have bottle when we need it to push for the promotion, personally I wouldn't be shocked to see Brooker gone by the end of Jan seems he can't shake off his constant injury problems and with Andrews coming in and possibly Robbie Winters, only a matter of time until a striker leaves, obviously it won't be Jevons or Enoch, both in double figures, Brooker is just so injury prone, can't even get a run of games together and when he does come back it always takes him a few games to get back into the swing of things, unlike somone like Enoch who will miss games and then come back in and perform right away, Sorry Steve, thanks for the memories, but we want players who can get us promoted and you can't do that from the physio bench, if we get an offer of around £150k I'd rip their hands of for it.

Just hope he doesn't read this forum and read those comments because that will do his confidence no good at all. Brooker has more bottle than anyone i know. Everytime he is on that pitch he is so brave and wholehearted if he doesn't score a goal he creates them for others and his general work and prescence out there is excellent. £150k indeed Glad your not the boss thats all i can say!! Brooks is going nowhere except into the championship with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brooks is going nowhere except into the championship with us.he doesn't do anything Enoch doesn't do, Enoch has more than covered Brookers role this season and looks a better all round player and shown that we can manage without Brooker, Brooker has had constant injury problems since he has been at the club, he may be an effictive player when fit, but he isn't fit for long enough to sustain a long run in the team, we need player who can play 35+ games a season, that is a catergory Mr Brooker doesn't come inot.Enoch and Jevons have more than done the business this season and have had to due to Brookers constant absences, I'm all for having a fit Steve Brooker at the club, but it just doesn't happen enough.If we go up this season, we need quality players fit enough to compete at Championship Level, we can't afford to waste money on a player who spends have the season making yet another comeback into the first-team, whilst others around him have to carry his lack of fitness/sharpness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brooks is going nowhere except into the championship with us.How is Brooker 'brave'?... Everytime he picks up a 'slight' knock, he always goes off and doesn't play on.. Whereas the other week enoch had a blow to the head, went off to get a bandaged wrapped around it and carried on. In the same game, he dived in for a header, with the defender trying to clear with his foot. I'd say brooker is the braver of the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old_man_terry Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 be interesting if Brooker does last till the transfer window, their is no doubt we need a forward with Jevons injured, but if Andrews performs over this month, wouldn't be suprised to see him sign Perm, we can't carry players who can't keep fit, and then spend game after game trying to get back to "100%" promotion is all that counts, and Johnson won't suffer any hangers on who can't pull their wait, especially those on Big Contracts!Sorry Steve, you a good player, but Enoch is proving to be better, either get yourself fit and stay fit or find another club.

BCFC Matthaus Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 Yes it was saved, but it was a crap penalty. No power or pace in it at all.Just read this in the Independant....."There was nothing wrong with Showumni's well-struck spot kick but Polgliacomi made amends for his earlier error when he guessed the right way to make a stunning save".I couldn't make it to the game and I haven't had chance to see the highlights yet so can someone enlighten me as to whether it was a "crap penalty with no power or pace" or a "well-struck spot kick" as I'm now quite confused? By the way Sarah B - I don't think anyone on here is slagging off Brooks but even you will have to admit that if you are going to compare him with Enoch - then Enoch has had a far more impressive season (so far). In terms of goalscoring and assists then Enoch comes out on top. In terms of workrate and luck with injuries - they are on a par with eachother.
