Managerial Thread 2018 / 2019

Is this the Steve Cooper that scored twice for Tranmere against us in the Play Offs?

Not the same guy but the Steve Cooper you mention not only scored twice for Tranmere in the 1991 PO game but also scored 4 for Newport in their 5-2 win at GP only a few months before we then thrashed them 6-0 in the Freight Rover area final

I remember him coming on a sub in the 1992 championship winning game at Peterborough and being convinced that he would score against us as usual

They had a forward to bring on? Iirc we ended up with Batesy up top late second half. Can't remember why though.

Jonathan Woodgate to Boro?

Jonathan Woodgate to Boro?

Isn't he out injured?

Answer the question

rofl

 

[hairman]

The Steve Cooper who scored the goals died in 2004.

Are you sure he's dead?

Hmmm. Respect people.

 

[ruislip bee]

Normally is!

 

[TW3Bee]

Not as manager surely?

Not wasting my bet on them next season then.

Probably should have worded my post better...Cooper came on FOR Peterborough in that game

Yes, I remember Batesy up front...in the days of 2 subs, we had him and Billy Manuel on the bench. Did he come on for an injured Holdsworth?

Woodgate another manager being fast tracked purely because of his background before earning his stripes. Seems every player wants to have a go at managing now when they finish playing, more managers for the merry go round

On the other hand, introducing young English coaches instead of the usual merry-go-round suspects has got to be positive.

Not if it cuts off opportunities for other managers looking to step up IMO. Its their choice though i suppose

Maybe Gibson’s still cutting costs? Promote home town boy at minimal expense, and save on replacing numerous other coaches and analysts already at the Club?

Jonathan Woodgate? Errr...no mate!

He was once involved in a BAME incident. Does this count?
