I don't think it's correct to say Cooper (or anyone other than Walter) was their first choice.
Walter was named right from the start, pretty much as soon as Rosenior had gone.
Acun / Tan said they would take a few days to consider applications / best candidates, but all the while Walter was their man. A few names popped up, like Cooper who ruled himself out; maybe if he hadn't they might have pursued interest further, who knows.
I'm pretty sure it was Walter from the off, and, although some wanted an immediate appointment it really didn't take that long to get confirmed.
Appointing Walter was never the issue behind the slowness in transfer (in) business, other than him perhaps being too picky in who's been put to him.
 
I guess at this point it is fair to say that current squad is our first 11 for Bristol game. I don't think any new signings can make it to 11, or even that's healthy or not for cohesion.

Good thing is Bristol probably not the strongest team in league, we can still get points hopefully.

This is the first I've really thought of it but, if Longman, Ömür and Oscar are out then picking a starting 11 for Saturday will be an interesting exercise. No idea who plays at the top end of the pitch at that point.

Another day, another new name as a left winger signing. Zeidane Inoussa?
 
It’s a question that needs asking though.

Just not of Acun.

Short corner.

Pass back towards the halfway line.

To the keeper.

Booted out of play.

Well, at the moment there's little point in lofting it into the box as we have knack all threat in there!
And the short corners didn't go back to the keeper and out of play.
I'm no fan of short corners, just like I'm no fan of having next to no aerial threat from them....and yet we still don't seem to be addressing missing height & physicality (not that we're addressing anything much at present).
