Steve Brooker

Does anyone else think it would be a good idea to send him out on loan for a month or so.
It is going to be the best way to sharpen him up as he isn't going to be getting much serious game time with us.

No, certainly not during his rehabilitation. i think he needs a close eye keeping on him. We certainly shouldn't be sending him somewhere where he'll be used for short-term gain with little regard to his longer term fitness.

So how are you suggesting he gets match fit?

I thought Brooker was ok last night, certainly played a lot better than he did against the owls. Whether this was because we were playing a league two side i don't know give him time and he will be okay

[not on facebook]

who would take him when he is not 100 per cent fit,i doubt
he could get a start or full 90mins for hawthorne club cantley.

fact that there is no football team at hawthorne club cantley
is beside the point

Do you honestly think we have enough players to send any out on loan?

[DonnyBazR0ver]

I thought he started to show a bit more last night. If he keeps improving at the same rate, in a month or two he'll be a handful !

No way in a million years would I loan him out if I was the manager. He needs to either start games for us and be genuine with the manager in letting him know when he's had enough, or come on with 15 mins to go in the next few games. He can hold the ball up relatively well anyway if were trying to hold onto a lead and slow the tempo down.

As perfectly pointed out in the post above, any team that wants him on a short term loan wont give a monkey's if they push him to hard to quick during a brief stint, so we deffo need to keep him here.
