If Steve Cooper had a positive Covid test just before 10:00am this morning, why wasn't he isolating?
My source is a Jack mate who works in the ABMU which is their local health board.
You've just had back-to-back games where you've had to put in maximum effort for 96+ minutes, you appear to utilise a smaller squad than most and have three games before facing us compared to our two - this thread might be great reading but your message makes it an easy bump if the result goes our way at end of the month.
Agreed, but the point is that we weren't easily beaten by Swansea in three of the lost four games between the clubs (we were nothing special in the fourth one either) because of some conspiracy among referees to favour the jacks, we were embarrassed because we were so bad.
I'm one of those supporters that, because of my age, do not regard the jacks as our main rivals, but even I was seething after the game in December because, once again, modern day Cardiff City had shown that they don't appear to "get" the south Wales derby.
If we're to avoid becoming the first team to have a league double done on them in the history of the fixture, a couple of things need to happen a week on Saturday - first, our players need to be up for the game in a manner that supporters will recognise, because we know Swansea will be and we haven't been lately and, second, we have to be a lot better than we have been in our last two away matches.
Even if we avoid defeat at Swansea this season, the trend is definitely towards them doing the double over us soon if the two teams remain in the same league. We really do need to up our game in this fixture - Swansea will not need the help of the officials, we've fallen into the habit of making this fixture easy for them.
Some dubious decisions in both matches this week but ultimately have done us a favour, boro and Stoke are in the chasing pack with us - the jacks are unlikely to drop out of the playoffs now and are pushing for automatic.
I wonder if the cooper household have used another brown envelope for this game
I think Coopers brown envelope was lost in the post today.
