The young lad Brookes

[Animis]

nuttmeging Hunt, skipping past a David Jones' tackle or outpacing Bannan is hardly world beating - but yes he's got some talent and future I dare say.

[malek]

Fair play to Wilder for trusting in his young prospect although he is unexperienced and very slightly built.

 

Absolutly murdered us today. 

 

If he was on our books, he would have been nowhere near first team, nevermind starting such a huge game.

He's clearly a talent. But I think it's more of a case of him being an unknown, we had to try and work him out during the game. 

 

For example he got free from lees in the second minute. At that nervy stage Lees reacted by bringing him down/wanting to put a foot in. But he was on his right foot at this stage and it was clear that he didn't have one, nor would he have scored. We panicked and he got a free kick and they scored. It was the match in a nutshell.

What a load of crap! Are you a post match crap writer for Carlos?

Utterly outstanding for them today. I've heard the United fans singing his praises and now I see why. He's only 19.

 

Makes you wonder, if only we had a very young, talented, upcoming forward on our books. Oh wait, we do, he's called George Hirst but he never gets a look in.

 

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that George Hirst would have won us the game today. Christ, neymar wouldn't have won us the game today but it just shows what young players can do. All this money and spending is stopping players like Hirst getting a chance. Shame

Said this ^^^^ at the end of the game.  Him and George are best mates with England but we prefer an established somewhat zimmer-frame attack than giving a Sheffield lad who understands exactly what it means to us, a chance to show what he can offer.  Frustrating !! Mercenaries are fine if they can shoot (no pun intended) but if no passion, no good.  I would be nearer accepting a result like today if we gave our youngsters a chance and let them show us how much they value the shirt. The take it for granted, thanks fo the big wages brigade is no longer doing it fo me. (Hic)

[BIG D]

I’m amazed he signed a new deal a few weeks ago. Lad obviously wants to get on with his career.

How does that absolve Carlos? It's exactly what happened.

Im sure if we weren't spending DC and the club would be getting some serious stick and maybe Brooks is  a different kettle of fish, most "experts" I know who have actually seen him play, say he isn't ready

I agree he was outstanding...what hes doing there I cant imagine but different player to hirst..Our forwards imo did little wrong... somewhere between defence and midfield was the issue cause they bossed us right there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jamiejohn]

Yes he looked good and it would be nice to have some of our own youngsters pushing for the first team 

but brooks is effectively in the shop window and will be gone a soon as a decent bid comes in and whatever the wrongs and rights of the hirst saga at least we are trying to keep him 

[fife_owl]

He did well.  He was helped by our defensive mid-fielder having a total mare.  Might not have expressed himself so well if he'd been up against Hutch.  (Assuming Hutch didn't lunge twice!!)

I'm still not sure what your issue is. I've said he's going to be a talent on that evidence but that we didn't show him onto his weaker foot and played right into their hands.

 

If you think different then fair enough.

[Drones club]

He's from the Manchester City academy. Very bright prospect. Hutchinson might have given him an obstacle.

This tripe! Capici?

[Lord Snooty]

 

Good player. Very promising. 

 

Then again he was given a free role to do as he pleased.

Great managment to give 10 a role to play to allow the kid to roam.

That's how to bring a kid in and not give him pressure.

 

I suspect if we played a system where we could say to Kieran Lee "the lads are going to play like this....you just go and do what you want" he'd be lighting the place up week in and week out.

 

 

 

[Frazzlebeak]

If you still don't understand. You are putting the blame on our defeat on a 19 year old skinning our defender once.

[malek]

Such a shame that Wilder doesn't have same mindset like Carlos, as Brooks would have been stuck in their U-23 side as he is clearly too young, unexperienced, and slightly built

That's basically what most "experts" on here say.

Whatever. 

 

There are loads of rough edges to his game that we didn't exploit. Even experienced players were positioning  themselves the wrong side of him.

 

The same defence made Clarke look like Lukaku. 

 

 

 

 

[BigTavowl]

Lively player, confident with it.

 

but, we played shiiit today in what's our biggest game at S6 this season, we flopped! So without being disrespectful, it doesn't seem right giving praise to a bertie right now.
