The Clarke/Brooks combo

[ChemEngBlade]

There's no way that Donaldson, Sharp or Evans should start above Leon & Brooks if they're both fit. The performance from those two was as good as we've seen all season, they've earned the shirts for next game and then see how they do. Once the other strikers are 100% fit then that's another matter but even then, if their previous game was good then it'd be harsh to take it off of them and could cause upset. They earned the shirt and stepped up to the plate when needed

I suppose the main question to ask is how do Wolves play?

We adapted our team slightly to accommodate the S6's 4-4-2 formation and to great effect.

The funny thing is Higgo (the other one that is) on Sky went to great depths to explain how the pigs would open us up on the flanks by using their 4-4-2 against our 3-5-2. The game then went exactly as he explained except completely the other way round. My only worry is if Wolves set up the same way as Norwich as we didn't have an answer to that.

They worked really well together. At times the Pigs couldnt handle them.

Yeah, I heard that, about switching to a diamond. And I thought 'we smash teams who try to play a midfield diamond against us'.

Brooks isn't 100% though either, he was wearing kinesiology tape on his inside thigh/knee yesterday.

I have to hold my hands and say how wrong I was about them 2 and the big occasion Sunday.

I think it was actually Deane and Joseph up front for us and Joseph got injured in the first match against Reading which allowed Agana on ..... wasnt it ?

Ignoring the semantics though , you are right , every now and again a great partnership is thrown together more by luck than good judgement .

For some reason though i still dont see Brookes as an out and out striker . For me Brookes is direct competition for the Duffy role .

It was.... Stan,Joseph and Deano all scored in a 3-1 win at Reading.

Brooks called up to the full Welsh squad for the remaining qualifiers.

"kinesiology tape" eh? Used to be masking tape and Elastoplast back in my day. How times have changed and credit to you for knowing this and being able to spell it.

My daughter's a runner and has used quite a lot of it this year for a troublesome knee. All cleared up now though.
