Seems like a sensible move for all concerned. Cooper will provide good competition at centre back.

There are defenders who scare the bejesus out of attackers who fear for their physical safety, BC is one of those. He's our Norman Hunter and l welcome that.

I wasn't disappointed when he went back to Swansea but purely because of his sending offs which were not good.Hes a very good defender at this level and if he's good enough for RW then welcome back Up the O's

Not a player I would have signed. I hope I am proved wrong.

Good age, plenty of games under his belt. Will only get better.
Plenty of upside to this deal and not too much downside.
Yeah the sending offs have been petulant but we've been like that across the team for the last two years since Richie was here.
He'll mature.
Welcome Coops. I like it.

Looking at the wider picture and what we can afford, this is probably as good as we can get.
Experienced at this level, has the opportunity to grow and whilst I would have liked a player who was Championship level ready, realistically our budget doesn’t stretch that far.
Welcome back Brandon, make me eat my words.

Good player. But calm it when you're facing class strikers like Collins. I'm glad he's back because he fits in with Richie's style.

He’s had a few good games. A few bad ones as well. Hard to get too excited about the signing of a back up centre back. But it’s probably a good idea to have more than 2 centre backs contracted to the club. We can’t keep relying on James and Brown to fill in there, or bringing in loanees.

I think this is a good signing and one full of potential upsides. He was very good with a slight tail off. He is still learning his trade and once RW and the coaching team develop him further and he becomes consistent to his original level we will have a proper centre half on our hands.
This is decent business by the club in my opinion.

What was Norman Hunter's nickname? Was it "bite yer legs off" Hunter, or something like that? Just “bites ya leg” Before the 1972 FA Cup final at Wembley Stadium, some Leeds fans displayed a banner reading.... 'Norman bites yer legs'''''' and Hunter was thereafter nicknamed.... "Bites Yer Leg".... especially after Brian Clough commented on the banner. In the final, Leeds defeated Arsenal 1–0 with a goal by Allan Clarke.

First interview with Brandon Cooper since his permanent signing .

Post by dohnut on Jan 17, 2024 12:41:34 GMT
Good interview. Really pleased he is back and grateful to the owners for financing this deal. Definitely one for our future and someone I believe will get better and better. Omar can’t go on forever, Thompson I feel will go and Shad gone it’s an area we need depth and continuity.

In general players get better with RW in charge.If Cooper gets to become a better player the O's have done very good business.

There is certainly a player there but I don't want thugs at our football club...that elbow was an assault, plain and simple. If he has learned his lesson then fine but giving him a full contract after that sending off gives the wrong vibe imo.
