Ollie Cooper

[Swansea93]

Has been recalled.

 

[Pegojack]

Don't know if he was injured, but wasn't getting game time at Wigan recently. Can Vic Tomatoes turn him into a superstar?

No!

Hmm.

Vic is good but he's not God.

Vic is good but he's not God.

Fulton 25 yarder suggests otherwise.

One of the main criticisms is that Cooper ran around like a headless chicken. I think that actually fits pretty well into Vic's development strategy. I realize that Cooper is on the older side, but he seems like exactly the kind of player that can be turned into a pressing menace who can spell others late in the game and help avoid the drop that we saw when Widell came off yesterday.

 

[Dr. Winston]

He was good at coming on with about 10-15 minutes to go and running his guts out chasing defenders down. He wasn't particularly good at anything else.

 

[Frankie Burrows Cap]

Not the long term solution, but short term could be useful to keep the pressing tempo up if we’re looking to see out games for the remainder of the season.

Obviously, there’s the other possibility that he’s simply been brought back to be loaned/sold elsewhere as he’s not played that much at Wigan.
