John Brooks practising his Borini celebrations.
Brooksey as we know him here at Swansea Independent was the referee when the swans beat Leckwith 2-0 in December. In fact the last three games he has taken charge of for the swans have resulted in wins. The other was a draw. His first game officiating the swans was a loss at home to Crystal Palace. Another star performer in the referee game Brooksey is also from Melton Tony Mowbray. Born in 1991 he left school at 18 in 2009 which makes him quite a young chap. Brooksey is very well thought of in the referee world and we can find no reason why he shouldn’t hand the game to Swansea especially if ‘Dancing Ryan Manning’ gets on the pitch.
Frankly Thomas
Thomas Frank is the much loved manager of Brentford.
Thomas Frank is an American democrat when he’s not manager of Brentford, he lives in Maryland in that USA with his Mrs and kids, most of his games where he has managed Brentford have been done by Gareth Ainsworth because of the lockdown issues and commuting by aeroplane from America. Obviously you can choose to believe this or not, that’s up to you. Swansea supporters are big fans of Thomas, especially when he gets all feisty and throws his lovely locks of hair about like a crazy Julian Clarey.
The real Thomas the Frank engine
Frank is a real bubbly chap, he has a real desire to shout in your face and toodle pip his blowers in your ears. Below is a short interview with this much loved children’s train.
This interview was before the embarrassing defeat to lowly Leicester Fosse.
At the start of the year, Brentford FC Head Coach Thomas Frank was named Sky Bet Championship Manager of the Month for December. The Bees played eight Championship games in December and won five of them. The other three were drawn to ensure Brentford were unbeaten through the month and that was enough to earn Thomas, on behalf of the squad, the award. The Bees picked up 18 points in their eight games, scoring 16 goals and conceding just eight. There were home wins over Reading and AFC Bournemouth, who are in the top six in the table, as well as away victories against Rotherham United, Nottingham Forest and Cardiff City. The Bees also beat Newcastle United in the Carabao Cup Quarter Final.
After being informed he had won the award, Thomas spoke to The Sun, on a video call. He talked about Brentford's season so far and about the end of the 2019/20 campaign when The Bees finished third in the Championship and lost the Play-Off Final. He also talked about some of the factors that are helping the Club progress. "We have this unique togetherness where you can see that everything’s aligned from top to bottom — from the staff, players and me to the board and owner," said Thomas. “We’re all good people who work in the same direction. We have this attitude, believe in ourselves and are humble. If you’re not humble, someone will run past you. “We also work extremely hard because you achieve nothing otherwise. You must perform every day and that performance comes on and off the training pitch. These bits are extremely important. “Beside that is our style of play where we’re clear in how we want to do it. That added together and consistency reaps great results. Maybe we didn’t have the margins with us last year but if we keep doing this the scoreboard will take care of itself.”

Of course we would have because Smith would have had to come in for say Fulton and it would have still been 3 against 4 in the middle unless Smith can split himself in half..he should have changed his system as Frank out thought us by putting extra man in there and pushing our wing backs further back by playing his full backs high pushing us deep leaving as I said 4 against 3 and when we got the ball we were so deep there were no options.. |
I wouldn’t have started Hourihane if Smith would have been available. Grimes, Fulton and Smith would have been a far tougher proposition for Brentford - we’d have had the luxury of being able to call on Hourihane later in the game . |  |

It's people like you who drag this forum down.
I shouldnt really bother replying to arrogance but I will.
If you watched the game last night you would see their midfield of 3 caused us problems all night because we were thin in midfield, the wing backs who are part of a 3 4 1 2 system had to drop back as their full backs pushed on, plus as we all know naughton was targeted in all of his 60 mins on the pitch, fulton and grimes were on the back foot all game, we didnt have an out ball as most of our players were too busy concentrating on defending which being a football scholar you will know is energy sapping. if we employed a 4 4 2 we could press their defence therefore stopping them play through us plus it could tire them out if the press is used correctly and efficiently, having 4 at the back would have been harder for them to break us down as they did so many times.
Cooper needs to utilise different systems as one day this season we will be in the same situation and we might not be so lucky
So glad to be of help. [Post edited 28 Jan 2021 13:33]

Make up your mind
Did they employ a 3, 4 or 5 man midfield ?
You seem to be overanalysing it and with respect without the knowledge to do so
A lot of our players were below par individually last night. It happens but I loved their spirit and character. We were also lucky. It’s football. It happens. |  |

I’ve questioned your remarks and disputed things you’ve said
If that makes me arrogant and a prick then guilty as charged
Some of the criticism of SC is laughable. It really is. It’s not only you though. There’s a couple of others.
Anyway onwards and upwards Swansea City. Doing amazingly well at the moment and lifting spirits to be fair. | |

I'll jump on here if I may.
This site is better ,far better as they is less in the way of insults solely because years ago some have seen their ''@rses as regards some comments made.Some carry them on for ten years.
This site has none guilty of that including swancity/nige,who sticks mainly to footy matters and that's alright with me,even though we are hardly chums.
swancity aint bringing this site down in any way Eddie so you can forget that dig at him.
What swancity has posted is hardly offensive at all bearing in mind what has gone on here previously.
Cooper,to me ,really is overated and lucky to be at our club. This was proven last night.
He is flogging the players to death by not subbing when it is obviously needed.It is criminal and last night as bad as it gets. Ayew was nowhere,Hooligan out on his feet whilst the others dig in big time .Yet,Steve gurns but makes no move whilst Frank is going for it ,adapting as the game prgresses
.It was a brave effort from the young kids and my heart goes out to them for having to put up with this;the way a keeper kicks a ball directly into touch on three consecutive occasions ,failing to collect corners ,standing motionless on his line whilst those in front do the lot. Yet,he is praised for this
Anyway,at least that game give us summat to argue over | |
