John Brooks practising his Borini celebrations.
Brooksey as we know him here at Swansea Independent was the referee when the swans beat Leckwith 2-0 in December. In fact the last three games he has taken charge of for the swans have resulted in wins. The other was a draw. His first game officiating the swans was a loss at home to Crystal Palace. Another star performer in the referee game Brooksey is also from Melton Tony Mowbray. Born in 1991 he left school at 18 in 2009 which makes him quite a young chap. Brooksey is very well thought of in the referee world and we can find no reason why he shouldn’t hand the game to Swansea especially if ‘Dancing Ryan Manning’ gets on the pitch.
Frankly Thomas
Thomas Frank is the much loved manager of Brentford.
Thomas Frank is an American democrat when he’s not manager of Brentford, he lives in Maryland in that USA with his Mrs and kids, most of his games where he has managed Brentford have been done by Gareth Ainsworth because of the lockdown issues and commuting by aeroplane from America. Obviously you can choose to believe this or not, that’s up to you. Swansea supporters are big fans of Thomas, especially when he gets all feisty and throws his lovely locks of hair about like a crazy Julian Clarey.
The real Thomas the Frank engine
Frank is a real bubbly chap, he has a real desire to shout in your face and toodle pip his blowers in your ears. Below is a short interview with this much loved children’s train.
This interview was before the embarrassing defeat to lowly Leicester Fosse.
At the start of the year, Brentford FC Head Coach Thomas Frank was named Sky Bet Championship Manager of the Month for December. The Bees played eight Championship games in December and won five of them. The other three were drawn to ensure Brentford were unbeaten through the month and that was enough to earn Thomas, on behalf of the squad, the award. The Bees picked up 18 points in their eight games, scoring 16 goals and conceding just eight. There were home wins over Reading and AFC Bournemouth, who are in the top six in the table, as well as away victories against Rotherham United, Nottingham Forest and Cardiff City. The Bees also beat Newcastle United in the Carabao Cup Quarter Final.
After being informed he had won the award, Thomas spoke to The Sun, on a video call. He talked about Brentford's season so far and about the end of the 2019/20 campaign when The Bees finished third in the Championship and lost the Play-Off Final. He also talked about some of the factors that are helping the Club progress. "We have this unique togetherness where you can see that everything’s aligned from top to bottom — from the staff, players and me to the board and owner," said Thomas. “We’re all good people who work in the same direction. We have this attitude, believe in ourselves and are humble. If you’re not humble, someone will run past you. “We also work extremely hard because you achieve nothing otherwise. You must perform every day and that performance comes on and off the training pitch. These bits are extremely important. “Beside that is our style of play where we’re clear in how we want to do it. That added together and consistency reaps great results. Maybe we didn’t have the margins with us last year but if we keep doing this the scoreboard will take care of itself.”

Doesn’t have confidence in his own ability. He’s stood and watched this today and it’s not good enough.
Ayew should have came off ages ago. |
Another great touch finder .Just fook me |  |

No but should have changed system could see we were getting overrun |
Debatable
Easy to blame a manager when ( too many ) players don’t perform individually at the same time
It hadn’t happened often this season
Let’s hope we can hold on for a draw 👠| |

They are the better team, by far
But folk should t forget our massive strength - which is our ability to push on in the second half
Which we did, yet again | |

Yup - our biggest strength so far this season is collecting points when not playing any where near well enough to be top 6, long may it continue!
Rotherham look a handful too. | | | |

It’s a massive enhancement this year
We’re almost invincible - a proper Connor Roberts team | |

Second best all night. Definitely a point saved rather than 2 lost. Statistics are damning:
Home possession 35%. Away65%
Shots. Home 2 Away 21
Shots on Target. Home 1 Away 5
Corners. Home 1. Away 9
Almost embarrassing to be in 2nd after that. |  | | |

Very relieved indeed to get that point. Couldn't see where a goal for us would come from, and there were times near the end where we looked about to concede. Freddie did well again. I suppose, looking on the bright side, if we get Bennett fit and sort out our best midfield combination then we will be a different team. | | | |

Where's that fool trampie who said if we got any intentions of automatic promotion we need be beating Brentford and he be disappointed with a draw and I told him the season ain't won in Jan...wonder if he disappointed with draw now | | | |

Our midfield was totally bossed out of the game, very lucky to get a point, we could and should have lost by a few goals. | | | |

Great save Fred.
Hourihane is a passenger. The only reason to keep him on is in case we get a free kick. |
And we did.  |  |

Made some good saves though a gutsy performance all round 2nd in the league 25 games in reading some of the shit on here you would think we are in a relegation battle.
Some perspective is called for 10 unbeaten and we move on. | |

Not just midfield their full backs played high up the pitch pushing our wing backs backs leaving them with extra man in middle against our 3 that's why we should have changed our shape | | | |
