Doesn't look like Celina is coming back after the internationals. Just a case of if the financials tie up.

IF Ayew is our 10, Celina will always be second best.
Has bags of ability, delivers some mercurial performances, but unfortunately carries some baggage. Not even Pellegrini was able to get the best out of him.
From troubled and humble beginnings, hats off to him for what he has achieved so far. If he goes, will be fondly remembered.

Cooper completely misread the situation in the second half. The trio of Routledge, Bidwell and Smith wasn't the problem. (Noe were excelling but Wayne and Jake were giving it a go along with Rodon and Ayew. Newport were defending their lead and crowding the defence so continuing to try to waltz through was never going to achieve anything. There was no variety. nothing to give Newport a need to think. The starting line up was strange and subs did nothing to improve the situation. Cooper really doesn't have much of a clue.

Not surprised the amount of changes that are being made each time the swans visit an away ground. Apparently 75% of dressing rooms have been moved to other locations due to social distancing.

Our owners are the kings of social distancing.
Maybe we need to tell the players not social distance from the ball?
We're in a place where players will sometimes need to run through brick walls but our kids often don't even have the nerve to knock the door. We are too happy to go sideways and backwards, too scared to go forward in case we...gasp.....lose possession. Other teams force it, try to take chances when we deem too many chances are too risky. But then, it was our first competitive match, we had players missing and Coops still hopes to bring some in (though maybe to replace more being sold) so do we need to get too worried?
Maybe until we know what the squad will look like (until January anyway) what formation Coops intends to stick with, what his first choice side is and possibly only until after 9/10 matches, it's hard to judge.

This makes sense, his man-management skills are notoriously poor. Birch was aware and had a watching brief to help him out. Hope he's handed this over
This where someone like Trundle could really help, to bridge the obvious chasm. And/or a vocal Captain
(btw, any real evidence of losing the dressing room ? would be helpful)
