Ex Player Joel Cooper

[captainox]

I thought this question was on the fans forum about a month ago or so. I am sure Niall McWilliams confirmed Chris Allen was still at the club.

Will be interesting to see who gives the comments on the U21s game - I notice this season we have called it an U21s.
Chris Hackett is there with Nathan Griffith (S&C coach) leading the warm-up based on photo on the academy twitter feed.

Joel Cooper scored for the U-21s, as did Osei-Yaw

Cooper got a second in the last few minutes

I was sorting to get a little worried that things just aren't going to work our for him here, but I guess it's a bit early to panic! Sykes took a while to settle down (with still more to come).

Cooper, Osei Yaw, and Atkinson are young starlets. They need looking after, and massive kudos to the recruitment team involved in all three signings.

Cooper is 24.

24 is ancient... Hope he's going home to a mug of Horlicks and his pipe and slippers, and not in front of the fire with only 1 bar turned on as he can't afford another 50p in the meter

Didn’t realise he was on the bench after playing for the U21’s today

He's no age to be swanning around as a starlet.

That's all I'm saying.

The Chris Allen mystery continues. Seems to have disappeared off the face of the earth. No reference in the piece on the website as to who will be managing them.

he is listed as u23 coach on the club website (https://www.oufc.co.uk/contact-us/)

Cooper is 24.

Yeah and... that’s still young in my eyes. Plenty of time to flourish.

 

[bazzer9461]

Careful

Bloody international call ups without even playing are his downfall at the moment. No doubt another to come in November as well.

He is but we no longer have an U23 team.

 

[Junior_1]

And he wasn’t at the game yesterday.

And he wasn’t at the game yesterday.

Was just going to say that, no sign of him amongst the OUFC staff in the dugout area in the goals video

 

[Marked Ox]

Some decent goals yesterday both both Cooper and Osei.

IMO that 2nd Cooper goal was a superb solo effort, picking the ball up part way into the Southend half, jinking past a couple of their players topped off with a bullet like finish.... his first was similar, and Osei took his goal well too
