lets face it, it shouldnt have been that hard. Why were the changes so laboured? They had the freedom of the midfield for around 30 minutes, we were lucky.

you dont believe theyre wver going to face punishment do you?

Tim ogg pubcast - "i'd give Cooper a few more games, it's too early yet, although i have a feeling it'll end badly." why would you opt to give him more time then? makes no sense

I think Enzo is a certainty for the Man City job post Pep

no neither have i, in terms of credible reports, just articles that pop up on my phone saying leicester should replace cooper with this manager says pep, or cooper close to the sack, all algorithm stuff i'm sure, but the club must see it

probably my algorithm but all media im seeing thinks coopers as good as gone

at least they don't have the crocodiles circling underneath them

Barnes was ineffective as he was always marked out of the game as we had no natural right winger to mix it up, or a LB overlapping. Maddison came deep to try and make things happen but was on his own as Ndidi, Tielemens and Soumare looked like they were running through treacle. Vardy, Nacho and Daka just weren't getting the supply or had a crisis of confidence.

we had exceptional players when we got relegated, some couldnt care less and likely unfit (tielemens, soumare, evans, thomas, ndidi, bertrand), those that cared, but couldn't perform miracles vardy, maddison, barnes, kdh, ricardo, castagne, Faes, and those that weren't good enough ward, thomas, amartey, Praet, daka, nacho and then those frozen out vestegaard, soyuncu, Mendy. When you look at the squad, it is crazy we were relegated, we were just unbalanced imo and could have easily saved it

bit harsh, we were defending 95% of the game, he's an attacking winger, not a midfielder or a full back

i think the club are obsessed about making money on prospects. Bilal was linked with Liverpool at one point

i think theres truth in this, listening to pipes report at weekend and fryatt yesterday, i think they were hinting at this in some of the things they've said

mad dog was absolutely superb, any chance he could become a permanent fixture, bit of an issue for who are ya though. i was at that Forest game at the shitty ground, i drove back through groups of lads fighting all over the shop

he came back out, probably needed a gipsy's kiss

Ask yourself, had he started with Skipp, Buononatte, fatawu on the right and Ricardo, would we have been as bad against Everton?

if Cooper loses majority faith in the fans on matchday, i'd imagine players would follow suit pretty quickly. Boo's at his substitution, think we're quickly approaching that point, i'd bet some players are questioning why Ricardo is getting frozen out and why Abdul isn't getting much of a look in

looking over the Cooper appointed thread, i'd say over 50% of posters weren't happy, with references to Forest fans laughng at us. Do you think there'd have been more enthusiasm it we'd appointed Corberan? As for the Clough reference, its not comparible. I'm not saying people want him sacked because hes ex forest, im saying it doesnt help him and likely for some is a factor.

i don't speak for all fans, and neither do you. Theres a difference between taking Wes Morgan off them, and employing their reject manager as they step over us in terms of being an established PL club. i didn't say we"d never accept Cooper because he's ex forest, just he'd likely be afforded less time with the fans because of his connection. You'd take Nuno right now because he has a better track record, but again Nuno would probably be afforded less time if he was a forest reject than a manager with an equivalent record. If Potter was in charge, i'm pretty sure there wouldn't be calls for him to be sacked at this point.

i think many of us knew deep down it wasn't going to work. My Forest supporting in-laws said to me of the appoinment "he'll get the King Power ljke a fortress, he'll get the fans onside and the place rocking". I replied that i don't think he'll get the chance because he's already up against it because of his association with Forest, it feels like we have their reject, so unless he performs miracles, the fans will turn on him very quickly. furthermore, winning the PSR case hasn't done him any favours because we feel we could do better. It was a mistake by the club and although they won't bite the bullet now, it can only be a matter of time unless Cooper pulls one massive rabbit out of the hat.

I think even after last season I’ve been still angry at Wilf for his 23/24 efforts, but I’m starting to warm to him again. I don’t want to see him as a 10, but back in his old role, I think he deffo deserves to start in Winks place. Harry was awesome in the championship but I think we need to see if there’s another way

i think we handicapped ourselves with bilal 1st half whos miles off it. whoever said ayew does nothing wrong, but also produces nothing is spot on, and winks needs a break on the bench for me. cant criticise effort, but poor team selection and tactics

has anyone started a thread on Bilal? i expected to see him up top.

a little worrying we spent £20m on the morrocan lad

if you put skipp, buono, ricardo and fatawu in this side, is it a better side?

when faes is your main playmaker
