[LCFCCKEANO]

Think that was a relegation style result, been maybe too positive to this point, that is a grim grim result

Absolutely. Tactically I thought we looked terrible - like we hadn’t got a clue what to do with the ball. Both on and off the ball we don’t look we employ coaches

This is the problem.  Even under Rogers you could see what they were trying to do although it was ultra-defensive sideways passing but today there just didn’t seem to be any strategy or tactics whatsoever.

Or I'm just more realistic about where the club is at than you. We're playing for 17th this year and based on the squad we've got that would be a good result. Of course the football isn't great but before a ball was kicked this season I was expecting some big defeats early on so I'm pleased that we've been competitive in all the games 

If we are to finish 17th are Everton not one of the three we need to be above? If so probably need to beat them at home off the back of all losses for them

[fox_favourite]

One obvious moan. How is that only 4 minutes added time?! The subs alone were 4!!!

[leicesterlad1989]

Awful. 

 

If anyone is going to defend that, I assume you got struck by lightning today. 

 

I never want a manager to fail but what can anyone take from the first 5 games to think we will be a success this season?

 

The tactics are shocking. The personnel isn't correct. In game management is poor. 

 

Today was crying out for Fatawu AND Mavididi, particularly towards the end. But no, like for like changes. 

 

Hes walking a thin line already. I really hope he can turn it around.

Makes me laugh. Everyone slagging off winks saying poor signing. Now its we missed him in midfield

 Winks is a solid signing. Perhaps paid more for him than we should but will do a job for us this season

He will return next week against them plastics at north london im sure

[broadstone fox]

Sorry mean skipp

Our opportunity to get Corberan came and went in the summer. He’ll be managing in the PL next year, but not with us.

The one thing that may keep Cooper here a long time is we have no obvious candidates (who'd want to come here).

Do you mean Skipp? (All these Tottenham lads look the same)

Bilal was very poor. Looked very much out of his depth and we looked so much better with bounenotte.  Unfortunately, I think it’ll be winks skipp and ndidi again for Arsenal

Winks played the whole game ? Do you mean Skipp   maybe they looked the same from your seat in the stands

Yeah, a win would have been good. They would be thinking the same thing as well. Draw isn't the end of the world

Why take Mavidid off? He ran them ragged in the second half.

A few moments before the substitution he went to win the ball back and got up holding onto his calf.

Has put a lot of pressure on the game at their place later this year, don’t necessarily hate what you’re saying, I just don’t know that I have any faith in us to go and beat them later this year when they have their classic Dyche bounce

Have to remember he didn't win any of his last 15 games at forest. 20 games with no wins and you can see why. He's just not cut out for managing at this level. 

All his errors are consistent, every game it's the same. Really not what sure those that say give him time are hoping for, he's shown you his hand....he has nothing else...

We aren't dealing with some kind of extreme/specific tactics (like enzo) that need time to bed in. There is no tactic or style, it's just stay in the game and hope, this is it, it's not going to get better.

Do you think we've been competitive because of Cooper or in spite of Cooper though?

It’s Sunday league isn’t it? I’m sure most of us have played and had the team talks that consist of:

 

win the first ball

be first to the loose ball

make sure you get a challenge in

lets get into them

release it to X early

play the channels 

don’t leave anything out there

show for each other

 

etc etc etc

 

Not a tactic in sight, just basic football … and frighteningly I can’t imagine much else was said by SC today

You're right that we have been competitive, at least in terms of scorelines, but there are two ways of looking at this.  You could see it as a positive and that Cooper is managing to get a tune out of this squad, or you could see it shows that the squad is probably good enough to stay up and capable of more but is being held back by Cooper's negative team selections and tactics.

He has to be gone after that has to be.

 

This club needs rid of the happy clapper fan base 

 

The board need changes 

 

The manager needs to be sacked straight away.

 

Inexcusable that is.

 

****ing joke of a club

Not sure how the club go about sacking the fan base tbh. 😂

Honestly, I think any manager whose newly promoted side looks competitive deserves plenty of credit. But his decision-making (e.g. excluding Facundo and Skipp today, and the late timing of the changes) isn't always helping us to turn that competitiveness into results.
