Andre Brooks

[Wards]

Excellent when he came on

 

[Deadly_D'Jaffo]

Before the season started I hoped he'd get a loan move to L1 for some game time because I didn't want to see him get stifled like Jebbo or Osula.
The difference with Brooks (and Arblaster) is he looks much, much more comfortable in the first team than Jebbo or Osula ever did for us.
Rak-Sakyi hasn't done anything wrong but I'd start with Brooks against Derby because he's a menace for opposition defenders. Skillful, quick and very aware of of where his teammates are (see his assist last night). When he adds goals to his game we'll have a top PL player on our hands.

If you saw him play against you he's the sort of player that makes you reach for the matchday programme to lookup his name.

 

[HOT CURRIE 10]

I'm still sat on the fence.

Doesn't seem to have an end product.

He’s a very young kid learning his trade and from this season on an upwards trend . He’s doing well.

 

[Melbourne Blade]

Lads only 21. He's going all the way.

Mccallum said in his after match interview he yelled at Brooks "heels heels" for the side heel pass.

 

[Tony Currie]

I would prefer to see him start most games this season than JRS. Firstly because he is our player but secondly I think he gives more all round play. He works hard but still offers that creativity.

Agree with this JRS doesn't work as hard as Brookes and his defensive covering is not as good, however JRS would be a great sub to bring on to run at tired defences.

It's also good to compare the two. Crystal palace rate JRS very highly with talk he is a replacement for Eze, he is also nearly year older than Brookes yet I believe Brookes has at this moment the slight edge. Brilliant prospect.

 

[HeCanDoMagic]

Would love to see Brooks and JRS on the pitch together

 

[Wards]

Think it's (or was) perfectly reasonable to question his end product at this level. Even at youth team level it lacked at times. I've absolutely no doubt it was a side to his game that the coaching staff wanted to add to. Hopefully the goals will come too as well. Fantastic assist yesterday.

 

[metalblade]

For all the hype about the Palace lad I think Brookes is slightly better at the moment

 

[Wards]

Oh and it's fucking BROOKS

 

[Ndiayewillalwaysloveyou]

Will he ever score Head up lad

 

[Dimyan93]

Poor finishing tonight, got to hold him to the same standards we do everyone else. If Brewster or Moore had missed those chances they'd be uproar (Moore should have slotted one in quite easily aswell)

 

[SUFCinks]

agree to some degree, I think all player should be open to criticism. He did lots of good things as well. The way he faked the shot and cut inside to shoot was nice to make the opportunity. His finishing though does need work. Hopefully that will come from experience/exposure. From memory he could've had 2/3 tonight.

 

[BladeInIreland]

He keeps getting himself into those positions though which is more than can be said for most. We need to keep going with him, when he adds goals to his game he will be some player.

 

[Varkanoid]

Its the final shot when there are 2/3 defenders in front of him thats disappointing. Off the boil tonight but still an asset to the team.

 

[Gin&Juice]

He’s a good fucking player. Just have some fucking self belief Brooksy. You haven’t won a fucking raffle to get on the pitch.

 

[Slim Man]

He’s such a strange player. I love him and hate parts of his game in equal measure.

 

[Bladethebrian]

Apart from a ten minute spell when he played like Messi I thought Brooks was poor although tbf Ran Sakyi was as well when he came in. Thought Moore made a difference.

 

[Westran]

Did we win?

 

[AWetFlannel]

Needs a goal, that's the worst he's played so far this season.

With it being a game where everyone was off it though, it's hard to judge.

 

[Kozzy_is_my_Dad]

Campbell as CF didn't suit him, he hand no one to try and pick out.

 

[Paisley Blade]

Couldn’t finish his dinner. Player in there though.

 

[loyalblade95]

Should have looked up and squared that to Campbell instead of shooting which meant Campbell had to hit it into the ground.

TBF, that's unlucky for Campbell as on another day, that probably goes in off the underside of the bar, same with Moore when he hit the post and Brewster with that curling shot that went just wide. On another day, all three of those go in, or Brewsters at least hits the target.

Other than that, thought he was one of our better players, especially start of the second half.

Brooks, Campbell, Brewster and Moore (when the latter 2 came on) all showed the ball when they got into good positions for it.

Thought Shackleton had a decent game as well.

 

[Blade45]

I’ve changed my profile to him because I love him so much, but he’s not had his best game today. Rak Sakyi was anonymous when he came on for him, and Brooks was starting to play well.

Head up Brooksy, I believe in you pal.

 

[Shawy24]

One major fault which is a tendency to overplay and not release when he should but otherwise I haven’t a clue why he was hooked tonight for a completely ineffective luxury player. Yes he should have scored but at least he was getting in the right position unlike O’Hare.

 

[COME BACK CHED]

Worst player on pitch first half ,but going well when taken off.

 

[Grizzly blade]

If he wasn’t an academy lad he’d be getting pelters.
His overall play was poor his shooting even worse. Decision making and ball retention also poor.
I also don’t think his defensive abilities save him either.

If we had the funds it would be the area of the pitch I’d spend on.

 

[chesblade]

Not his best game tonight, he has bad days and good days. Shame he didn't score, that was the best he played all night

 

[moody1889]

If he had the self belief and could finish he would be on about the same goals as Josh Maja so far.

Brooksy is a top talent he just needs to add some composure to his game.

 

[nopigfansintown]

Got his marker booked and created and had chances himself. On an average night for himself it only serves to underline how lucky we are to have him.

 

[Bladezz]

We need to realise this is a young lad who’s in essence is a youth player for us. We are trying to turn league one players into championship players over night. These nights will happen the same with Peck.

They will make more mistakes than an out an out championship winger with 200 games under their belt etc. They are learning it for sufc short term detriment but hopefully for the long term gain.
