Was that "you fat b@stard" at Tielemans? 🤣

We couldn't beat ipswich last year so I don't feel overly confident about that logic right now lol.

Whether you feel confident about it or not, the games against teams like Everton, Southampton and Ipswich will define our season.

Rudkin out

Switch JJ to left back and bring Ricardo in. Kristiansen is poor.

That's sensible thinking

It’s a long season.  Why wear your guys out pressing against this level of competition.  Just wait for us to make mistakes and be ready to pounce.

It’s a very competent manager with a well thought out game plan pal. 
 

Then there’s Steve Cooper and our “set up”… 

[JimJams]

Okoli with our best (only) chance.  Just chested it unfortunately.

[MPH]

All he had to do was stick his foot out…

Lower your expectations everyone! Villa were odds on to win this. What we do this season won't be defined by matches against the top 6. The next month or two against teams around us will be the key. 

Hate this. We just want something to offer.

Yeah, they’ll define just how far adrift we will be in 20th.

 

We look total chaos 

[ozleicester]

how the fvck did we miss that

[foxfanazer]

Can't wait to see the back of Faes. Abomination of a defender 

[Bob Weasel Fox]

Steve "tactical genius" Cooper working well so far then . . . .

Thankfully they've been pegged back now though.

 

Whilst we're just being pegged.

I see what you did there

A good chunk of this forum was crying out for "pragmatism" this season, and they've certainly got it.

it's not pragmatism, it's as dogmatic as Enzo was, it's just dogmatic about defensive football rather than possession and so the yer da types think it's "proppa footy"

[wardyfox86]

A touch in the opposition box there, great half...

[Md9]

Brentford 1-0 up

It’s a football match, they’re favourites, but does that mean we shouldn’t try and find a way to beat them? Because that’s what we’ve done so far, are we just supposed to lie down and get beat off teams that are expected to beat us? 
 

Come on.. 

Yes, try and find a way to beat them like we are doing. Not throw the toys out the pram and talk about sacking the manager when we don't beat a Champions League team!

Of course but it had to be more than thay with incoming points deductions 

[Jattdogg]

Second half masterclass from Cooper incoming. Has to be.

[richardsfoxes]

Why are we playing 3 of the same style midfielders, please at half time bring some creative players on ffs. 

[CaliFOXnia]

Shot on target.

 

Steve will tell the lads we’re performing over expectations… 

[JimJams]

Brentford up against Saints..

You need more than just winning every game vs the bottom 4-5 clubs, which we wouldn't win all of them anyway.

[foxfanazer]

I'd already come to terms with relegation before the season started but it's horrible to see us so ill prepared and cowardly
