Enjoy Andre Brooks

Another dig at Wilder......turn the fucking record over FFS.

Who mentioned Wilder?

 

[dexter101]

Osula and Iliman already there, albeit, slightly different. One will go for over 60 million this summer… not sure Jebbo will make it past Championship. Still could get something from Marsh, although I think he will inevitably leave us for first team football.

Just shows how much luck is involved.

All it takes is an opportunity, but sometimes those opportunities just dont happen.

Not sure how much game time Sydie would have got if Blaster didnt get injured.

These things happen at every club.

Excellent today Andre.

Amazing news for the lad, very well deserved

Absolutely delighted for him.

 

[ATL Recs]

He’s a joy to watch and again took some real stick today with nil protection from the tef
All credit to him he’s got his head down grafted and he looks a level above.

Every time he got the ball he was fouled. Zero protection from a f.cking crap referee.

Without Brooks today we would have been embarrassing to watch.

Without Brooks today we would have been embarrassing to watch.

We were great to watch for an hour, we just have poor defenders and a lack of holding midfielders. Don't get this narrative that we were crap because we lost.

For the first hour we were a way better team than Wrexham, we gassed at 60 and bench is crap, but the first 11 are decent.

I was initially worried last summer. A player who couldn't get a game last season? Given the #11 shirt, and no move for a Prem level loanee as with JRS or similar? It felt like we were doing things on the cheap. Maybe we were, and we lucked out?

Because he has grown considerably, in fitness and in influence. He wants the ball, he wants to dictate play. What a talent. That right hand side has been sensational at times, and again, we'll be robbed of it prematurely.

He's wasted here next season GLTTL when he moves on
International football beckons

Faint praise from Wilder for Andre's call up.

Was about to say Wilders comments on it told the story really! You really do get the impression that him and Seriki and Tufty types of players and they're not getting on behind the scenes. Must kill him to see they're the only two players we have who you could build a competitive Championship side around....

Pretty awful man mgt from Wilder really. He could/should have praised the guy unreservedly and moved on to the next question.

Are we just going to ignore his shot he completely mishit then? Should have scored just before he did too. Instead he gets a tap in from a rebound to save his blushes.

Is that the best you can come up with?
at least he worked to get into a position to have a shot what about the one he sent over the bar and the build up play
Ffs just appreciate that he is becoming an exceptional talent that’s going to have a great career - unfortunately not here

He needs to work on his finishing as this for me will determine how high he can go.

Currently the only player we have who can take a man on and make things happen and has that ‘Premier League style’ in my opinion.

Is definitely a player that a Premier League team would take a punt on. Seriki is the other one for me who could get a move

His shooting is poor. I think we have different uses of the word expectational....

What bollocks. He’s a young player, composure will come.

But that completely misses the point in any case. Wilder was explicitly asked about his international call up. Go back to Friday’s presser and listen to how he wanked himself off over Sydie’s call up to the U21s. A world of difference in the responses.

“I might text him later.”

What point was I ignoring?!

Composure MIGHT come. It isn't here yet.

The point you are missing is the very marked difference in responses when the manager is asked about international call ups for two young players.

That has nothing to do with the performance Whataboutism.

You randomly inserted your comment right into the middle of a debate about the response to the call up. It looked exactly like you were excusing that because he mishit a shot. If that was not the case and you accept that Wilder’s response was poor, then apologies.

Didn't realise we had to stick to a narrative! Sorry!

It’s how conversations generally work.

Yeah not seen ANY premier league players make similar errors...oh, wait a minute...

To get premier league moves you have to take the few chances you get. He doesn't for me. I am not saying he's shite I just don't think he's premier league. Even Ndiaye needs to up his output to be truly top level and he's a much better player than Brooks

Congratulations Andre Brooks.
Will be a great experience.
