David Brooks

I am sure you are right, but wasn't the official version that he was "too small"

No idea mate, I haven't lived in Sheffield for twenty years and I'd never heard of him until he started banging them in for SPS.

I just heard he was quite unruly and had a bad attitude, got in trouble etc and the pork thought he was more trouble than he was worth.

Yes I think that was the real reason, but as he was thin as a rake (and not that tall at the time), I think the "too small" excuse was used.

Doesn't surprise me, as sitwell says, standard excuse when dumping kids. It's easier than telling them they're shit (or in his case, a bellend).

Jamie Vardy with the pigs?

Didn't Bassett release Kevin Davies for the same reason?

Hope we hold on to Brooks as he will develop into a mainstay of the first team in years to come. He's got a maturity and commitment in his play that we never saw in Adams, Diego, Slew et al.
Might be a while before he gets in the team mind...

To be honest pal, if Chapman could get a spot on the bench, and the occasional cameo towards the end of a game, Brooks should be in the same position.

 

[Gimli]

It's a bit different with Chapman as he's come from a premier league team (not that that necessarily means much but it's a better pedigree - his hat trick in the cup shows his ability) and he played last year for Barnsley so has experience in this league, also he's on loan so would be a waste if he didn't at least get on the bench most weeks.

 

[PokerBlade]

Well, now that we've identified our new target, it's important to start insisting that he should be starting by now and that Wilder simply doesn't refuses to give youth a chance.

 

[Enigmatic]

Scored again for the U23s today. Surely a matter of time before he gets more first team action? Or is he not ready yet?
