Yes, I was going to post on here. The only positive of the night. Great to see him back. But I'm gutted for him making his comeback amidst that mess. Oh, I think that's unfair. First 13 minutes or so were all positive, Dan James was good throughout and we scored really nice set-piece goal. Brooks creativity was really lovely to see though. Think it's Brooks or Brennan at the moment rather than both, but there will be situations where each is the better player for the job needed. |

Well Brooks is surely the successor for what Ramsey used to be - the creative hub of the team

Classy touches last night and I think we have to find a way of getting both him and Brennan on the pitch as soon as possible. Really glad to have him back, I just wish he was fit enough to start against Turkey

Really glad to have him back, I just wish he was fit enough to start against Turkey If he's back in form, he'll take Wilson's place for me. That's Where he'll see most of the ball. Brennan and Brooks absolutely need to be in the starting XI and Brooks needs to see as much of the ball as possible. |

He played 10 minutes & he was done for, no way is he fit enough to start unfortunately.

Yeah it's more about where we see our best lineup moving forwards. He's definitely in it
I can see a progressive manager getting a lot out of a combination of Brennan, Brooks, Ramsey & DJ for example
I also think Terry Taylor returning could be huge - someone who can actually shore up our midfield alongside Ampadu
High hopes for Ed Turns too, maybe Turns & Lockyer will become the prevailing CB partnership. Mepham & Rodon certainly shouldn't be guaranteed their places, Rodon in particular looks like he's been coasting for too long
Overall I think there are positive developments around the corner in terms of players

The problem is Ramsey would probably not tolerate that! |

It's far, far too early to starting talking of Brooks taking over from Ramsey.
He looked absolutely spent yesterday after 10 or so mins, which is completely understandable after what's happened.
We don't even know if he'll get back to the levels he was at either, the boy needs space and time. Not the pressure of taking over someone like Ramsey.

I'd be tempted not to start him and give Fox/Neco a go |

Well Brooks is surely the successor for what Ramsey used to be - the creative hub of the team I'd like to see Brooks play more centrally behind Johnson, but to be competitive we might have to wait for the next wave of midfield talent to come through, and then we are going to be spoilt for choice. |

I'd be tempted not to start him and give Fox/Neco a go Don't agree with any of this. Roberts had a much better game than people are giving him credit for. Apart from his throw ins he delivered a number of dangerous crosses into the box. Defensively he was instructed (along with Davies) to be compact - which inevitably created a huge amount of space out wide - especially in light of the total lack of support from Johnson, most evident for the equalizer. Blaming the defence for that goal completely misses the point. Ramsey was AWOL, and Johnson failed to track back. Roberts, Mepham and Rodon were put in an impossible position as a consequence. |

Ramsey was very poor too, and probably the next worst performer behind Rodon & Roberts for my money. However, I would say Roberts and the rest of the defence (aside from Davies) reacted very poorly to all of the counter-attacking situations. Pretty much nothing came down Davies's side, which I think tells you all you need to know about what kind of game Roberts had. Yes he didn't have much support and I do factor that in, but that just means you have to be even more disciplined. Zelaryan/Ranos gave him the run around |

Zelaryan/Ranos gave him the run around I think the change with roberts being exposed was down to the fact when we are in possession roberts is the one to push up so we then revert to a back 3. The back 3 of meps, rodon and davies should then be positioned to cover him if we lose possession. They didnt do this, i think purely down to the fact it's a new system for them. If you notice Davies was never forward like a traditional left back. |

If Osain came in I believe he'd get the best out of Brooks, I'm digging a fantasy that out of all this Brooks can inspire a fairytale story and in doing so capture the imagination of a nation

He'll be like a new signing for Bournemouth. Just hope his pre-season is smooth and injury free and he can find enough form to start the season for them |

Starting once again in the Premier league - fantastic to see!
It's great that the new Bournemouth manager already backs him as a starter, which goes to show his ability is clearly still there
Has to start for us now in my opinion!

Did you spot how long it was? I would estimate a good 10-15 minutes of singing his name. He's still got improvements to make but hopefully it's coming. |

Well done Brooksy!
Wales is so proud of you.
Makes things safe against Latvia with a composed finish
Comes in tonight and I had reservations given he has not been playing for Bournemouth and the team we were playing but he just shows his quality, creativity and crafts the perfect assist! What a way to come back like he has - a Rolls-Royce of a player. Incredible!

I know wilson scored both both goals but brooks was the key to the good things we did attacking wise.
Sorry to say this but I'm glad ramsey is injured and can't play in the remaining 2 games.

I was working last night and doing a sleep in so had to watch the whole thing on my phone, much like the Ukraine game. His performance, coupled with the fact that I had my Brooks 7 shirt on means that there's a few lads with Autism that have become Brooks and Wales fans for the next day or so, I woke up this morning to be be greeted by a lad at breakfast chanting Brooks at me!

The guy is just a naturally gifted footballer.
Having lost quite a few family members to cancer myself over the last few years, it's an absolute bloody joy to see him back after what he's gone through. Truly inspirational.

Quality!! It’s nice to hear stories like this, I think sometimes it’s hard to imagine what it means to some people in Wales in a wider context than the 30k in the stadium. |
