Self inflicted again with our own downfall at times.

Think there are people a lot higher up the queue to slag off tonight other than Ward.

Ward Ricardo Coady Okoli Thomas Skipp Soumare Bilal Ayew McAteer Edouard Painful but need to keep best players ready for massive game v Ipswich.

Possibly. Depends if we can free up some by moving a few out.

Surely Chilwell on loan in Jan from our parent club er Chelsea?

Ange is an Aussie rules coach who went to the wrong job interview and decided he would have a go at soccer.

We have 9 points. Southampton, Wolves and Ipswich have 7 combined. Think it would be harsh to sack the manager after 9 games when we have A) never been in the relegation zone B) our remit preseason was to stay up. Think he needs to do himself a favour and get a 90 minute performance. We looked good up to HT Friday night but I think the players let him down slightly 2nd half. Next 5 games important. Need to get tighter defensively. Not losing to Ipswich is very important first of all.

I don't think any manager can legislate for such poor defending and mistakes. Faes needs shooting after today. We were in the ascendancy going in to the break. Just to concede so early 2nd half knocked the stuffing out of them.

Not a bad result if Foredt win. Keep them 4 scratching around at the bottom.

Pathetic first half but surely some praise for Cooper for 2nd half. Now to beat the Florests next.

0-2 us and Russell Martin first manager sacked of the season.

4th choice I think.

What are people going to do if we are comfortable mid table after this run of fixtures? Still demand Coreban or Potter. I hope Cooper proves some people wrong. If he messes up I will rightly criticise but still backing the guy at the minute.

Brad had been in the job for years. Time to move on.

Not a guaranteed starter but worthy of a place on the bench.

Very much our best player so far..

We have these breaks every month in autumn and then wonder why domestic games are rammed in from Christmas onwards.

Assuming no injuries and problems in the break I would go with below. Press them high as many have said. Assuming our Argentinan friend Facundo is out jet lagged. Mads JJ Faes Okoli VK Skipp Winks Fatawu Ndidi Mavididi Vardy

Every time. Can't stand it.

Well Villa need to be beating 14th at home. With the players available in their squad. Just no plan or direction. Emery out!

Someone else already written off by the instant instant brigade.

Having taken a lot of flack, I think a win is a win and they and he got it. Still not been in the bottom 3 yet and now 5 in front of Wolves and Southampton. Let's be happy for a change!

Big call to drop Winks. Would prefer Fatawu in for Ayew but hopefully we click today.

I believe Enzo was being labelled a "fraud" on here at the start of April. "Poundland Pep" etc. Now we are pining for him back. Sack Cooper and all that toxic negativity is draining. I dare say if we had hung on v Arsenal and Palace this thread wouldn't even exist. We are still not even in the bottom 3 yet. Let the guy have his 4 games next against lesser opposition. If we flop ( no wins) then he probably quite rightly deserves to go. Personally I think we will take 8 points and be undefeated in the next 4.
