Did Cooper make that much difference or 'bolster' the first team squad, only our results over the last few years suggest the opposite. Some fans think he did OK but I always tend to look at how many goals they score and just going by the radio commentaries, he's not much good when he gets into those positions but I will leave that to the fans who pay and watch him. Academy players do 'bolster' the squad but so could a hundred non leaguers and off shoots of other PL academies too but that's the usual discussion.
