bh_red Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Spot on. They could do another loan spell and put a 24hr recall clause in there.I think he's better off at Cheltenham for the time being, having a (potentially) unfit striker, who's never played at this level, on the bench isn't really going to do us a lot of good. Regardless of whether we get anyone in or not, he's better off getting 90 mins under his belt on a more regular basis. If he starts finding his form (and the net) then bring him back and get him in. We need the Brooker of 2 seasons ago, that would be as good as any signing we could make in the next 2 days, but I don't think we're there yet.cheers, I thought "actually being able to recall him" only came into effect if we actually extended the loan.

'Orns Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 cheers, I thought "actually being able to recall him" only came into effect if we actually extended the loan.That's right - first month of a loan spell is set in stone, if it gets extended then a recall clause can go in.Not sure how it works with loan spells that start at 3, 6 or 12 months though.Sure someone will know through FM2007 though!

MATT BCFC Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Just shows how far off full fitness he is. Anyone who thinks hes going to come back and score the goals to send us up this season needs their head checked in. We really need a new striker Brooker aint the answer, lets be fair hes never been a 20 goal a season man at league one level let alone championship level.

Fodbarmyarmy Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Listened to the Cheltham v Millwall game to night, the plus point being that SB played 90mins but didnt impose himself in the game at all.The game wasn't a classic by any means but the center backs had SB in there pockets and just did'nt create anything.On this game as KM was there tonight i can only imagine what he will tell GJ tomorrow we need someone else.Ok first 90 for him but needs to raise his game to get in the first team.Come on u RedddzzzzYou cant judge a player on a radio broadcast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bh_red Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Well if we don't get a striker then he is better than Trundle and worth a hours playplease explain on what basis you believe he is better than Trundle?is on the basis that because you don't like Trundle, that makes Brooker a better player?I look at it on the basis that Trundle was a better player in League One than Brooker as proved by the amount of goals/assists, if according to your logic, Trundle isn't good enough? how will brooker be good enough?

Wilksi Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 I went to thier games on friday night and again last night.. i didnt listen to it on the radio and ive been to a few games this season watching them so its not as if iver just been to one and fromed an opinion based on that.Anyway... Friday night Alex Russel ran the midfield for 75 mins and was the best player on the park and looked like he could still do a job for us. Granted he doesnt have 90mins of championship football in him (I think) but he is/can be a valuble asset all the same. Then i watched him last night and it was like watching a differnt player he had one of the worst games i think ive seen him play and bottled a lot of takles while his passing was woeful. i belive that he wasnt a 100% fit but thats a differnt debate as to if he should play or not. Anyway.. i think his time at city is numbered.... right Brooks.. he looks shocking, was getting bullied last night by the back four and one two headers all night.. (chelts were playing long ball which makes this worse) his passing was shocking last night playing way to many blind passes straight to the oposistion, same thing happened friday night. He was disapring for large parts of the game. Cheltenham as a team were poor last night but werent on friday night, yet brooker has been poor in both games. I'm sorry to say but he needs to stay out on loan longer and get match sharp.. the sad honest truth in my opinion is that i don't think he is ready for championship football, let alone a promtion fighting team..I think we need a new striker in quick.. ive ruled my thumb over him twice this week and its only my opinion like... If he is as class as some people think then he should shine no matter what team he is playing in.. At this moment in time he's not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Stan Hibbert Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 I suspect Steve Brooker would look like a different player if he was playing for us with the likes of Carle, Trundle, Sproule and McIndoe carving openings for him. Whilst I'm not doubting your perception of his performance, the truth is none of us knows how well he would do until we give him a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YattonRed Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 I say bring Brooker back, don't bother with Adebola & do everything we can to sign Garner!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MaloneFM Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Bring Brooker back from struggling in a third division team to face second division opposition (I don't hold with all this 'League one' rubbish) and it takes the heat off daps and wee Lee.Great idea.
