Brooksy "Ginga"

Bruce Wayne · Feb 24, 2018

Watched the Pele movie today, fantastic. In the 50's the Brazilian coaches were so obsessed with replicating the regimented European style football they held him back, not strong enough, disciplined enough etc. When he got a shot at Santos he failed miserably until he decided to fuck the coaches off and play with Ginga (ancient African art of movement). He beat 4 men and flicked the ball up and hit the top corner with an overhead kick, the coach summoned him over and asked what he was playing at. Pele apologised for his lack of discipline, the coach told him to do it again. The rest is history.

Got me thinking about our David Brooks. If he's fit play him every game and let him do what the hell he likes. Natural flair needs to be let loose, fuck defending and discipline when it's not your thing, play with Ginga and play the beautiful game.

like we were doing earlier in the season. i think we've been psychologically affected by some 'wrong' results. i'd prefer us to go gung ho again. fuck it.

Exactly SP, express yourselves, play to your strengths and fuck it. Watch the movie, brilliant.

I'd be happy if the rest of the lads could manage a few passes again without losing the ball, shots on target, that sort of shit.

I’m the same but we’re in a very small minority.
The be all and end all is results.

Going gung-ho in league 1 worked.
It seems in the Championship our gung ho tactics and been sussed slightly and. backfired against Bristol City and Villa.
We could have settled for the draw.
Most fans on here criticised Wilder for being too attack minded with his substitutions saying it was his fault we lost.

Sheffsteel · Feb 24, 2018

Football is now a much higher standard physically and tactically than when Pele played in the Brazilian league.

When playing Football Manager or FIFA you’d chose Brooke’s and his type every match
But in today’s football the pressure from media, owners and fans is RESULTS.

Unfortunately it’s results over entertainment and flair with 95% of the population.
Brooke’s is great with the ball but without the ball he still has a lot to learn.

If we lose a few more and totally give up on the play-offs then I expect Wilder to experiment for next season
And he’ll play Brooks more often, maybe Ched too.

Last week’s Brooks thread: not wanting to put pressure on him, but he could be the difference between play-offs and not.

This week’s Brooks thread: need Brooks to emulate Pele!

No pressure David!

Joking aside, agree, we are safe now as well. Slow paced tippy-tappy triangles which get us nowhere need setting aside to be replaced by the high octane, running at the opposition, overloading tactics from earlier season.

He can definitely bridge that gap between midfield and attack with his fearless direct running and that’s what we’ve missed.

Brooks- "feel like playing in the net today gaffer"

CW- "but your not a keeper Dave?"

Brooks- "but I have natural flair gaffer, and that should be let free"

CW- "oh ok Dave, do what you like"

Brooks- "thanks gaffer. Jam, pass your mits shag".............................

I thought this was going to be about DB’s latest trip to Sweeney 4

Today I've seen Brooks spelt as Brooke's.

Who is Brooke and what does he/she own?

agree.. i think Swiss hit the nail on the head when he said 'we are in danger of turning into a bog standard Championship outfit'.. more terrified of losing than trying to win

I once saw New York and Los Angeles being levelled by aliens, the world being overrun by talking apes and a massive ice age engulfing the whole planet. I just can't believe that I'm still alive....

Strange you should post that, I was reading a passage in a book this morning by a former player describing Alex Sabella doing anything he liked but doing fuck all without the ball, it was like playing with 10 men half the game, we ended up getting relegated.

That would be the crowning glory in a 9-1 defeat.
