I gave credit to Cooper for our exciting new signings but no credit whatsoever for how he uses them. Carry on like this and I imagine that the lending clubs might have second thoughts about doing it again in the future. This guy really doesn't have a clue does he?

Gallagher doesn’t have the gas for 90. Fulton should be starting, I’m not seeing a contribution from Byers that makes the difference.

like the game at home, Stoke’s Allen and a Clucas out matched our 3 of Grimes, Byers and Gallagher and that’s with Gallagher trying a man-to-man against Allen until the yellow card when he backed off ... in many respects that was the turning point. Once Allen got to run without interference it was an up hill battle in midfield.

Exactly, it was working great until the yellow. Something that Cooper should have realized before Allen was able to control.

The Andy Pandy show on Watch with Mother lasted no more than 5 minutes or so .... the attention span of puppets’s namesake

| Swansea .... “wasted opportunity” .... were we ever in the lead?

Andy Pandy was agitated throughout this press conference.

“We never looked young and they looked experienced” ... did he not notice Allen on the field. He and Clucas out worked and out played our three once Gallagher got the yellow.

Exactly Ivor. Who really was the brains behind the success of that youth squad?, yet another example of the bullsh*t he conned our selection three with.

From his post match press conference, Andy Pandy's agitation throughout indicates that the pressure is on! He's now got all his toys and he is still not able to put a coherent performance on the field, nor adjust and respond tactically to events within the match. Two of his pets combining bloopers for the second goal. I don't blame the kids so much, they are 19 up against seasoned pros, "oh shits" will happen ... if they didn't they'd be starting for their clubs not trying to hack it with us.

That we went to a forced 3-at-the-back after Robert's injury, with no coherent pattern forward of the 3, is typical of what we have seen over and over again .... take some mud, throw it against the wall, pray that it sticks .... it rarely if ever does nor should it. There has to be some semblance of a plan. Not exactly sure what Borja, Brewster and Ayew were supposed to do up front to stay out each others' way yet be collaborative ... we had three #9s on the field, they will do what they naturally do and go where they naturally go ... mostly to the same space.

That 3 kid CBs that had never played with each other in a regular setup never mind as a back 3, should be expected to sort it out on the fly and get it right is a tad dumb. We tried 3 at the back under Potter. I don't recall Andy Pandy doing it before desperation set in against Stoke.
