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.”

He's obviously been told to hit the wing backs as that's his ball every time.just over its them,they are cutting out our centre halves receiving it from him,would rather hit ayew and try change game up as they got us sussed |
Hitting the wing backs he is not,;he is however giving the ball back to the opposition.Beats me anyway.
I ll say it again,I cannot fathom how much love Fred has on here ;he is pretty much average at best. |  |

I don’t care less about the clean sheet argument coming back at me. If we want to play a possession based game rest of this season or in future, then Woodman cannot play its simple as simple as that. I’ve never seen someone consistently over hit relatively simple passes so much in all my life. |
We're playing like we did a few weeks ago and being deep.
Woodman's distribution went to pot last season but being deep also means Bidwell nd Roberts are also further back.
TBH Brentford is in charge and we,re struggling to get any flow. |  |

We sitting deep because were afraid of their pace if we got further up the pitch their balls over top would ruin cabango and naughton |
Bennett is our MAIN MAN, simples
Everything suffers without his controlling presence, exacerbated with Cabango’s deficiency in possession, double whammy | |

Second best so far, although coming more into the game. I have high hopes for Hourihane, but looking rusty today - and a very silly booking. |
I think Cooper will be thinking about a defensive change with Naughton looking one of the rusty players. Fulton's booking too was a frustrating moment. More pace required as Curt has said. Mind you when he heard Cardiff had gone one down the short laugh was slightly sinister 😂 |  |

We’ve stepped it up, as per
But They still seem to have an extra man
We’re still too ponderous and obvious

Hourihane is a passenger. The only reason to keep him on is in case we get a free kick. |  |
