We've lost 2 games in 15 and the way your talking as if the world's going to end.
We've lost four CBs.
Bolton have scored an equaliser because Sweeney was settling into a position he's never played in before & We've lost to a soft penalty to a decent side & because of this your basically saying our season is over.
Wonder you were before Bandy but I got hazard a guess as your so Negative.
Watch out for that black cloud above your house whilst you drink your half empty pint.
We've lost 3 cbs.
Happe out for 4 weeks. Cooper went off for cramp .
Are the EfL suspending the season till we get
them back fit ?
Where do you get your "I'm saying the season is over" rubbish from ?
I've just pointed out it's become more difficult
While I'm enjoying my half empty pint I already have another full one on the table waiting . If you don't want to swap opinions stay away from these places please.

Richie really didn’t sound happy with Cooper having cramp. Ridiculous if true. I know he’s not started loads but you need to be ready to come in and to get cramp after 55 mins is mental.

No Happe for 4 weeks.

Thought the same, how does a CB cramp up that quick can't think of any other time that's happened

Sweeney for Cooper just doesn't make sense to me. There were so many other options.
Ball has played CB in the Championship and SPL, so why not move him there, bring Obiero on in midfield? Or bring on any of Markanday, Perkins, Agyei, DJ, and drop Abdulai into CM? I could go on with moves that make more sense to me. Someone please explain the logic - other than Sweeney being left footed?!

Wellens wanted his midfield & forward line attacking so a defender for a defender?
Only reason I can see.

No , I picked that tone up from Richie as well . It''s not the first time he's been annoyed with Cooper this season . I can't help thinking this could happen again Tuesday night .

Happe was visibly wincing towards the end at Wrexham as he was making some of those clearances, no doubt stayed on longer than he should have out of necessity. His previous injuries have been groin/corey haven’t they? Bet he’s out for more than 4 weeks.

What a blow.

Cooper might have 18 months left on his contract but I can’t see him being here next season.

I’m sure Cooper is more aware than anyone that he is under pressure. This week could be a really good opportunity for him.

I liked the look of him when he first came to the club but he looks a little out of confidence currently.

We need him to be at his very best in the coming games.

He looks short on confidence of late, understandably. Yes he’s 4th choice (now 5th) but he hasn’t been handled well at all.

If Cooper had not gone off injured yesterday I think we would have won, he and REG had control first half and even at the start of the second half, losing him to injury and having to play Sweeney there changed the game in Boltons favour Sweeney did his best but he’s not or never will be a centre back. How unlucky are we to have four out of five centre half’s injured.

Amazing to think this moment was only 11 days and 3 games ago, and we found ourselves in 5th place and just a couple of points off 3rd and a chase for the automatic spots. :(((

Just shows you how quickly things can change in football . Therefore there is always that chance things can swing back in our favour . Just try and win as many games as we can and see where we end up .
