Mitch Cooper

Couldn't find a dedicated thread to him. Like a Phoenix, he rises from the ashes. I swear this kid was dead. He's practically an angel or ghost now.

Anyway, in the warmup before the Phoenix game, I saw Cooper and for a good 10mins thought it was Flores. A little bit because of how he looked etc, but mostly because he was freaking amazing in the warmup. The kid just lit it up.

I didn't see him do a whole bunch when he came on, but I have confidence that if/when he gets a bit of a run in the senior team, we could have a real thing on our hands.

Discuss.

He did more in his 10 minutes than I remember half of the others doing in the previous 80. Here's hoping two knee reconstructions haven't ****ed up his plans to be a professional sportsmen like they did mine.

I don't remember the second half..
I only remember we were 1-0 up, then suddenly I'm watching a Newcastle team win their game later that night..
I can only assume everything was just great.

He's a player with energy and looked excited to be out there. I think he did well.

Could be the only kid who escaped GVE's touch to destroy his confidence.

Good thing with this kid is he is a positive attacking player who likes to play forward.

After his 10 min stint, I think he showed enough to warrant more game time.

he was never training enough for the GVE effect

[Mark325]

I'd rather him replace Flores then Caravan or Virgin.

[The Dunster]

I thought he did very well against the Jets and the Phoenix.

He's got good technical skills and appears to be very athletic as well. So I expect to see him released within the next few weeks.

Got something about him. Biggest thing I noticed was his confidence to get in there and demand the ball straight away. Shows he still has confidence in his abilities despite the knee surgeries

[WolfMan]

I was actually questioning the decision to bring him on when the game was effectively gone, and on a wet track.

I guess the physio's etc. would know more than I would, just an observation.

He did look positive, and hell knows we can do with more of that!

[Bremsstrahlung]

Make him Captain.

Watched him at Weston the other week and he did not shirk any of the physical stuff one bit. Went into quite a few 50/50 challenges very confidently. Lundy was another standout that day.

I would have actually brought him on with 30 mins to go and either subbed Montano and pushed Griff to 9 and played Cooper as the No 10 to look for the second goal. Exactly why our coach shows no interest in making a sub to get on the front foot and win a game beats me

[hawk]

is he good enough?

[furns]

Yes
Give him another run on saturday if Leonardo is still not fit

[la bazzle]

Keep him on the bench until he can do something. Defo please don't start

[stopper2]

Yes

Agree,the club has invested so much time in him with his rehabilitation after two long-term injuries. Now when he has had a full pre-season under his belt and is fully fit it would not make any sense to not give him any more game time just because he has had 1 or 2 indifferent displays.

[RAM]

**** no!!

Stick with Kanta @ 10 - it worked and Cooper was shiiite.
