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.”

It is but no way has this been a good performance. And it was a poor team selection. | |

Perhaps the game plan may have been more effective had the crucial piece of the puzzle been able to perform his duties. What is the point of planning to build attacks through pinging balls out to the full backs if your goalkeeper does not possess the ability to do exactly that. |  |

You're probably too young to remember the great touch finders of Phil Bennett and Barry John. Perfect accuracy | |

Nothing wrong with the team selection
Bennett not fully fit
But poor from Naughton
And some of our lads below their best tonight. Too many of them. | |

Take a deep breath and rethink that statement
We're second in the division. It takes guts NOT to change things when everyone thinks there should be a change. | |

Good man.
My views on cooper havent changed and they are far harsher than yours Blaine. He is flogging good players to death and it's disgusting to see.
I feel for the lads ,I really do.
The young defenders are doing old pro's jobs alright. | |

Doesn’t have confidence in his own ability. He’s stood and watched this today and it’s not good enough.
Ayew should have came off ages ago. | | | |
