Imagine our points tally if we did get -8 or -9, we’d struggle to hit 10 points. Hopefully the players go to Top.

That was midweek when I last checked so it must have changed with yesterday’s results. Either way we’re chronically unthreatening

We have the lowest xG per shot in the league atm. We’re creating very little and they’re of poor quality

Doesn’t matter if we only have 8 shots though

Cooper’s PL record he’s shit Matches 61 Wins 12 Draws 19 Losses 30 Goals For 63 Goals Against 110 19.6 win %

The just give him time drones thought Rodgers would turn it around, then they started saying ‘who else is there’? when it was obvious he wouldn’t. Anybody defending him is simply not worth reading or replying too. There’s literally thousands of managers what would leap at the job. They’re not all going to be good enough but there’s managers in the Belgian, Danish, Dutch, Czech etc leagues doing well who’d love to manage in the PL and 5x their salary. The club hierarchy just for once have to stop being myopic goons and recruit from Europe

He’s lucky he manages to make it look close every game.

Human handbrake

It’s like Fuchsntf has sent us one final message

That requires the bare minimum of introspection. It’s the emperor’s new clothes around Top I think.

Losing face is more embarrassing in Asian culture than in the western world. We’ve always been told “respect is a big thing in Thailand” on here so we have to put up with eastern mysticism. Top is either negligent or incompetent and for that reason I wish he’d sell up.

Why do clubs have analytics departments that cost millions if stats aren’t to be read into? That’s really dumb if you’re being serious

The main rebuttal to sacking him can be condensed down to “It’s just a bit soon” but there aren’t any green shoots. We’re chronically negative, he’s not ripping up his style of play if he didn’t do it in 55 PL games at Forest. His approach is closer to Pulis’ than Pep’s. Walsall - 9 shots, 2 on target Everton 12 - 2 Palace 9 - 4 Villa 9 - 3 Fulham 10 - 4 Spurs 7 - 3 Decent managers don’t need 10 or 15 games to get their teams taking 10+ shots a game. We’ve had the second fewest shots on the league, the second fewest touches in the box and the third fewest shots on target. Nothing about this (with relatively soft fixtures) says give him 5 more games just to see if he might turn it around.

Cherry Tree has Worthingtons

There’s currently 6 winless sides ffs. It’s like saying we‘re unbeaten if only 00:00 - 03:58 of Premier League games counted. Clown

That's impressive. I think a surprising amount of people's problems would be solved if they just did another 5000 steps a day.

Bournemouth will beat us - they always do. If we lose 5-0 to Arsenal and that’s what it takes to sack Cooper then Arsenallllll, Arsenalllllll, Arsenalllllllll

Glad we spunked £50m+ net on this t wat and his wank acolytes like Skipp and Ayew when a bag of crisps has a longer shelf life

There’s lots of debatable failures where you can argue the toss but fundamentally relegation was a colossal failure given the position we were in just 18 months prior. Its football, not lab conditions - constantly hedging and erring on the side of caution is a cop out. As for your latter point, that’s fair but if the posters in question have signed up and regularly post on their team’s forum - they’ve sort of crossed the threshold, they’re already a certain amount of ‘bothered’.

There's fans on here who are happy just to constantly revise down their expectations of the club. If some were told we'd be relegated in the summer of 2022 they'd rightly be furious and demand change, by the time it happened they accepted it. Maybe it's because we won things we never expected but the "What do you expect attitude" is just so crap. What's the point in going or watching if you're just invariably fine with demonstrably avoidable failures each time. I just can't get into the frame of mind where I'd reflexively be ok with poor decision making, or insist managers needed more time, or it's not the DoF/or the owner's fault/recruitment team's fault.

Bleach, if I have to watch Cooper's Leicester 5 more times

He's won 12 out of 60 PL games, I can't believe there's people that think he just needs time. 55 points in 60 games. 11 points in his last 18 PL games. xG - 19th xGA - 13th Shots - 19th SoT - 18th Shot distance - 20th Our fixtures have been relatively kind too, 3 home games plus Palace and Fulham away. It's not going to click at any point because he's a negative manager.

We could have appointed Emery early on in 22/23 but Rudkin was infatuated with Rodgers…

A loss would have been a great result if it meant he was sacked. We avoided one points deduction but we’ve got another in the dug out.

We've demolished far too many historic buildings, it's a standard ugly British city centre for the most part. The transport links bit is a reach too. It's the worst connected big city on the country via rail
