Regarding young brooks CW is goin to have to manage him sir Alex style I feel,the expectation as he came on was immense the lad has been hyped up and fans who have not seen him are expecting great things,so far he's delivered but he won't all the time,I hope he gets some slack like some of our other youngsters were afforded,I think chris will use him as an impact player in the last 15/20 mins of games and try to keep the expectation levels of him low
Agree with all that Bully. I fear the expectations of many supporters are way too high. We who have seen him a good number of times are aware that there are times, and indeed whole games where he is fairly ineffective. The lad is only just turned 20 and a joy to watch when what he tries to do "comes off" - but it isn't going to come off every time - and people should not expect it to.
To date, he has never had to mix it with hardened Championship defenders who will resort to any means to get the points for their team.
Experienced and very expensive opponents do not like to be made to look incompetent by any one, let alone a very young lad.
Please, let's wait and see what happens in competitive games, before we all get too excited.
