Cooper ..
Thought he was brilliant today before going
off with a knock, does a lot of the dirty work
today getting in a couple of vital blocks early
on and generally ruffled the Huddersfield
strikers ..
And he’s done this constantly since forcing his
way back into the side, richly deserves to
back in the side ..

While he’s far from the greatest footballer to ever to wear an O’s shirt, Brandon is an excellent ‘No nonsense ‘defender who always gives 101% effort and was outstanding today

Re: Cooper ..
He was kicked, elbowed, barged, pushed and fouled all match IMO and kept doing the job in spite of such assaults.
I like the guy as a player

Re: Cooper ..
Yes, of course Happe offers more and I would put him down as one of the first on the team sheet but his injury record let’s him down unfortunately.

Re: Cooper ..
Cooper annoyed me a lot when he left the field with cramp when we were still 1-0 up at Bolton - after which we lost 2-1
But since then and particularly the last 2-3 games he has been tremendous. That block today when it was still only 1-0 was great defending.
He’s been an integral part of our current winning streak

Re: Cooper ..
There is no doubt in my mind that we would have beaten Bolton if Cooper had not gone off. But in his defence he was kicked by a Bolton player off the ball at the end of the first half (right in front of us) and that caused the cramping problem. Up to that point he and REG had been fantastic.ContrifibulatoryFred wrote: ↑Sun May 04, 2025 7:48 am Cooper annoyed me a lot when he left the field with cramp when we were still 1-0 up at Bolton - after which we lost 2-1

He is under rated IMHO.

Super Cooper No 6 No 6, Super Cooper No 6. Looking forward to his first Os goal in the playoffs.

Re: Cooper ..
You can tell he’s a rugby player too
And it’s about time he had a chant. Bran-don Coop-er to the “tune” of Dodgy Keeper every time he cleans someone out will do very nicely.

Re: Cooper ..
Just a punters view.

Feel free to throw a tantrum because you’ve been called out for targeting squad players whilst the team is strives for promotion.

Re: Cooper ..
He’s good at the back post on free kicks and probably due a goal so you could be spot on again, o great oneOrient Punxx wrote: ↑Sun May 04, 2025 10:19 am Super Cooper No 6 No 6, Super Cooper No 6. Looking forward to his first Os goal in the playoffs.

He has a chant already:

In his Lamborghini
Brought us back a centre back
He's the Welsh Maldini

I like it, but it's a bit too complex for some of our mob. They'll just be doing the Donley and Kelman songs ad nauseam.HughJurection wrote: ↑Sun May 04, 2025 12:01 pm He has a chant already:

I'd have a Galbraith song first off the rank every time.

Re: Cooper ..
Only playing because Currie has been injured and Wellens (rightly) doesn’t trust Sweeney to perform at this level. As someone who has long despised Cooper and his grotesque inability to head the ball, I will grudgingly admit that Cooper has been playing above himself in the past few weeks.
