[Bertie Mee]

Brewster in for brooks ffs

This is a wind up right?

 

[Irv]

Brewster in for brooks ffs

Says who?

 

[robbiez666]

I would be very surprised if Brooks started. He was struggling with cramp 3 days ago and stayed on longer than planned.

 

[Frank the tank]

Says who?

Another one on the list
I should. Make a list actually

 

[JayGreen17]

Great opportunity to pull level at the top again, but no doubt won’t take it.

But Id like to have a decent performance for once as we’ve been utter crap for the last few games. Injuries aside.

I would be very surprised if Brooks started. He was struggling with cramp 3 days ago and stayed on longer than planned.

He’s 21 years old, has played much less than the majority of our available players, and was MoM in the last match. He’s got to start.

If you know the timesheet why you broadcasting it here

Careless talk costs football matches

If you know the timesheet why you broadcasting it here

Starting Brewster costs football matches

Fixed that for you.

Timesheet- I have this vision of the players clocking in as they enter the tunnel

He doesn't know shit

I'm sure whatever the result you will find something to moan about

'Utter crap'? Injuries aside? We've not been as dominant as a direct result of the injuries so sorry, injuries aside we've done pretty well to dig a few results out. If we'd been utter crap we wouldn't have done that.

I'm confused huw any of this makes him fit to start. The fact he hasn't played much doesn't work in his favour in terms of recovery.

Good to be back to having 3 backup leftbacks on the bench, strength in depth

 

[robbiez666]

Would have started RND at left back and McCallum Infront instead of Brewster.

 

[Jimmy Fleck]

A point would be a miracle

 

[Pintor75]

Think we can get something out of this,

 

[McGrath]

Jesus, that's a young bench.

What the hells happened to Shackleton. The one time we need him most, he's out

 

[bonobo]

If Brewster is # 10, I hope he is instructed to get up close to Moore, last time he was so far behind play, much deeper than OHare normally is who doesn't have Brewsters pace and is not a striker, like Brewster theoretically is.

Reason we got him and Leeds offered a reduced contract = he’s fragile

Two up front maybe?

 

[Irv]

So you’re saying he’s not fit? I think it’s more likely that Wilder isn’t starting him for tactical reasons, which I think is an error on his part.

 

[S64 Blade]

Hope I’m made to look a fool (like at Millwall), but whenever I see Brewster’s name on the team sheet, my heart sinks.

 

[LudlamBlade]

Startling lack of depth on the bench, really need to get some bodies through the door!

Think we scrape this by a goal.

Reckon McCallum will have a good game and very glad that Watson isn't playing for them - he was a nightmare at the Lane

 

[The Darton Blade]

Go smacked to see Brewster in the line up , he should never play for us again totally useless

 

[loyalblade95]

Not surprised we've rotated Brooks, but I am surprised we've rotated Burrows (as opposed to one of Davies/Peck).
