Him being so wrong doesn't count.
I thought it was someone more intelligent.
I must admit, I thought it was Cowley who had a problem with Swanson, not slotting him in as soon as Ferguson was injured.
Can't have that ... Cowley signed him. He clearly rated him or he wouldnt have done that. He just didn't think he was ready when Rafferty got injured, a judgment call not totally proven wrong in his early games when he did OK without setting the world alight. And then , and then when he did look more ready and probably would have played more, he got injured.
Bringing him through more slowly may well be why he looks so good now.
He needed a game or two to get in the groove, but then so do all players when they haven't been in the first team for a while. In fact I think it was only his first game that wasn't that good. He was ok by the second. Let's see how many games Thompson takes to get back in the groove.
