Brown gets the nod

In the Pools World "team mates" feature, 4 out of 5 so far have named James Brown as the most skilful player in the squad. Do the panel concur?

P.S. the one exception is Dimi who chose Bracker ! confised

I think, from memory, that there were at least two who went for Bracka.
In fact there was a video clip of Bracka, juggling a small ball and to give the lad credit, he was very good.

In answer to your question, where it counts, with the ball on the deck, young Brown wins every time,
definitely most skilful, since Boyd.

I'd agree, if the key word is 'skilful', JB has it. Unless perhaps Joel on top form....

The scores are
Bracka 1 (Dimi)
Brown 4 (Liddle, Turnbull, Barron, Nelson)

Sorry Monty, I'm going back too far, I think Sweeney went for Brackstone, a while back.
You are correct, out of the last five, it's 4 -1

I must be cracking up, I've just scoured the Pools web site and I can't find a Sweeney Team Mates refred

Your not mad...Sweeney did do a Team Mates...and he did say Brackstone...

It's not in Features section but the TV News section...

That figures then :roll:

It says a lot when a youngster can undergo such a bad injury as he had and come straight back to be the most skilful player in the squad.

The official site gave pictures of the players doing the bleep test, id be interested to know who won.

Can imagine it being between Liddle, or maybe Ben Clark.

Nope, it was Mackay by a country mile!

It's usually Ritchie Humphries, I believe

and none of the squad, especially 'the godfather of soul', noticed.

Shame on them

Brown gets the nod
