... he just couldn't help himself. And why not!! I think I heard him myself on iFollow, screaming "second ball, second ball"
EADT extract:
Cook watched the game from the stands on the opposite side of the pitch to the dugouts.
He obviously started with the intention of keeping a quiet watching brief. For the first 20-30 minutes, he leant forwards and provided a constant commentary to newly appointed first team coach Gary Roberts and general manager of football operations Lee O'Neill.
As the action started to hot up though, so did the Blues' new boss.
First there were a few instructions to the players nearest to him. Then after the break, as Town began to look increasingly ragged and anxious against 10-men, he simply gave up trying to be understated.
Come the hour mark, he had barked himself hoarse.
His most used instructions were to 'make the pitch massive', get 'higher and wider' and 'press! press! press!'
In amongst that, there was loads of encouragement. Phrases like 'well done', 'good, 'let them do that' and 'brilliant' were shouted in staccato fashion.
And he was always ready to fight his team's corner when it came to the referee and opposition players too.
After Accrington player Mark Hughes had gone down dramatically holding his face looking for a penalty (only to spring up to his feet when play went on), Cook did not forget. A little while later, when Hughes came over near the touchline, Cook called him a 'cheat' in the strongest possible terms.
To his credit, Town's boss apologised profusely and repeatedly to everybody in the immediate vicinity for his colourful language.
It was proof, however, that this is a man pumped up and ready to rock. |  |

It's refreshing to see, although Lambert was like that at the start! |  |

But Lambert was a fraud, Cook isn't. |  | | |
