Andre Brooks will tear you apart.......again

[Balham]

Rak-Sakyi got dropped after he scored that excellent brace at home, too.

Very odd behaviour.

Tough love approach. Teach ‘em that they’ve not made it and no-one is bigger than the gaffer

 

[ancientblade]

big season for brooksy i think selles has him pencilled in for the wide right role in the front 3 of a 4123 system

 

[Norwood's 6 iron]

Shout out to Cannon as well on left. On,y player looking like they’re struggling is Moore, just not fast enough, can’t use ball at feet and no awareness of players around him.

Biggest problem we will have with youngsters is holding onto Brooks, Oné and possibly Seriki come January. Expect Leeds to be all over them.

Would still like to see Seriki and Brooks together down the right.
Just feel that Brooks has the defensive capability to cover for Seriki when he goes forward. Always felt it was a weakness of ours that the forward wide player never provided enough help defensively. A Seriki/Brooks combo solves that problem.

I’d like to Brooks given a chance on the left , his natural side instead of this inverted winger bollocks . Towards the end of last season fullbacks pushed right up on him often resulting in him passing or retreating .

Given the number 11 shirt. Feels significant, not as grand as the number 10, but it got me wondering - who've been our notable number 11's?

Andy goram, or did they both wear number 1 I can't remember

I remember wilder saying something about brooks attitude in training around that time


Almost like a dig towards JRS

Whatever happened they were both mismanaged and Brewster and BBD ended up playing there which was beyond baffling

Still weird though - need to play your in-form players

On the rare occasions they were on tge pitch together they worked together really well
You could see the understanding they've developed
I.wanted to see more of it but it was one of many things tufty had no time for

 

[Uncle mick]

Must be working hard in training for Selles instead of tossing it off like he was for Wilder. Weird decision last season to drop him every time he did anything good.

Was he tossing it off or was it wilder being a twat

 

[bornablade]

Reece , Scullion ?

Salmons ?

Field?

No. 8

11… Glyn Hodges, Alex Sabella, Dane Whitehouse,.

Jock?

Three great players who would be contenders for my best ever Blades X!.

If I had to pick one, it would be Dane, for his workrate, passion and desire. He could play a bit too.

Agreed. Was there, that fateful day at Port Vale.

 

[Keen Blade]

Me too , tragic.

 

[Ron_Justice]

Agreed. Was there, that fateful day at Port Vale.

He was my favourite player at the time. Always held out hope that he'd make it back. Gutted. Saw him a year or so later, driving a white XR3i near Townend. Somehow, seeing him outside of football, made up for it.

Norwood was the first player to stop me saying 'we need a Hodges' and it took a generation. Be interesting to see if Selles finds and implements a pinger. Seems like the playstyle would benefit from one.

Also known as "Lino"

Gil Reece , not every season I think but often enough……

Gil Reece , not every season I think but often enough……

Before my time. I think I saw Woody play, maybe, but could be a trick of memory Vs research.

I'm pretty sure my first games were around 82, so that's too late, but maybe it was at Currie's Testimonial.

Peck and Arblaster also I believe in U21's?

That works too, gives Burrows defensive help for when he goes forward.
Burrows getting forward into scoring positions ceased towards the end of the season. Not sure if that was down to Burrows or whoever was playing in front of him.

No point re litigating . But It’s still mad to me that we got the amount of points we did but never actually tried to put our best 11 players on the pitch at any point.

We ended with BBD and Hamer out of position. JRS not in the squad. Brewster playing despite other people being in form. Holding warming the bench. We never put hamer in the middle despite signing a left winger. A mad approach

Cooper
Chouhdray Anel Holding Burrows
Souza O’hare Hamer
JRS Campbell BBD

Happy to have arguments for Peck in with Ohare behind instead of Bbd

I’ve only seen the York game from this preseason but I noticed Hamer trying it a few times. A lot more direct rather than the diagonals that Norwood was famous for.
