Does anyone remember how we lined up with Spraggon, Cooper and Armstrong in the same side? Did Spike move inside?
 
Have seen some YouTube footage of a Newcastle game from around that time with Cooper as a winger and Armstrong more central. There was a similar line up in both games, so I can only assume they played in similar positions.

I'm sure Erimus will be able to clear it up for us though (this was the season before my incessant nagging forced my dad to take me to games)
 
Thanks for your suggestions fellas. On the face of it, Cooper for Foggon does seem an odd replacement, but if he or Spike played centrally in a less forward running role it shouldn't be too disruptive.
Cooper will have been fairly new then, so maybe it was a way of giving him a game without messing with the defence.
