Nearly crashed the car listening to a Leicester fan defend the performance on Talksport. Not helped by I think Jermaine Defoe thinking his sacking would be harsh because of the teams we’ve faced. A minute later he says it could be worst…you could be Everton or Palace. Ahhhh yes Jermaine they would be two of those teams we faced

the underlining point was that Alves needs playing time at Championship or above and he’s not a run of the mill youngster looking for game time. His inclusion to the Under 20s and comparison of international peers backs this.

Cadamarteri wasn’t in the latest squad. By the same benchmark, in March Adam Wharton was in it. September’s squad contained players such as Jobe Bellingham, Ollie Arblaster, Ryan Andrews who are all very, very comfortable at Championship level. Theres a good few others in the September squad who’ve just broken through to Championship teams (Romain Esse for example and 7 of the 10 on loan are at Championship or above standard (keeper at Walsall & the other two I’d say are higher League 1 too).

Don't think that point about Corberan is particularly valid when what decided whyall three of those managers are Premier League or Championship managers is effectively a 90 minute game. Particularly given Cooper & Corberan played against each other in a playoff final with the latter heavily the underdog and getting a bad officiating call.

They'll have been plenty during the match which the cameras don't pick up.

Not a wise interview but it's exactly why none of them step away from the basic waffle.

We have three points for me which expand on this. 1. Cooper wants to replicate all of that. So his idea is that if he employs the same methods and tactics at Forest, it will work. Reality is they expired ten games before he exited at Forest. He's came here thinking if I can get this squad of players moulded in the same way, that will be enough. 2. Our fans are as you say those things. It's a fanbase which still haven't any hint of responsibility for that relegation two years ago. They have had zero concession and most are still pissed off with it. Cooper becomes the scapegoat and pound of flesh everyone want. Human reaction to want an answer that has never came. 3. Whatever manager comes in faces a huge barrier in terms of actually changing things at LCFC. It takes about a year in role and the manager realises those promises uttered to him by the club hierarchy are rubbish and lies. The nature of football is unlike a day job where you ride it out cos we a;; need to pay bills. You just take the next job ala Enzo. Enzo knew it was dislodge Rudkin or whoever, make structural change or get out. The fall down of the Potter appointment symbolises that as well. He wanted to make changes above the footballing staff. (Hello Enzo, Potter & Corberan share the same agent - news travels fast). There will be one person at the moment at LCFC very happy that his name unlike the summer isn't on everyone's lips in vain. Whoever is the next success at LCFC has to be a strong personality - Enzo nearly had it but his inexperience at the tail end of the season proved a curse in satisfying players and fans. Led to believe more than one club came knocking post January for him.

I accept your view but there aren’t though. He’s an England Under 20s international. If we look at their latest squad of 24, 10 are on loan at other clubs. While, of the others, only six aren’t featuring regularly for their club side. Interestingly three of those are at Chelsea or Manchester City. The other two are goalkeepers. The club are failing him. He needs to play. He needs game time and he’s getting neither U21s level or competitive.

That's illustrative to how he's in and out of the U21s plus barely got a kick in pre-season. Clubs needed to see that he was fully fit. As it stands the only football he appears to be consistently getting is England youth stuff. Clearly we aren't doing enough either to make the right links with the right person for loanees too.

WWF post match. Like a soap opera

Kid in a sweet shop Saturday. Stokey N, Islington or Kentish Tn? Where should we have look? Some good news from Birmingham. The Woodman is back open and despite its proximity to the Birmingham City Uni; they’ve kept it in its original decor. Bit off the beaten track from your normal choices in Brum but you could then head down Digbeth from there

I’ve said my strong gut is Cooper prioritises defending set pieces above others and therefore there’s two or three being picked in the team because they’ve been better attacking the ball aerially in training or they are taller. A penalty of having a coach within the staff whose forte is set pieces. A gut mind. Could mindless nonsense

Benefit is that you are near some incredible boozers

Milan derby was superb. AC found a performance which looked away beyond them this season so far

This isn’t like a Soumare or Praet. You can see the commitment is there, the effort to try something etc etc. The whole pressing pattern off the ball first half was rancid which made him look foolish too

5-0. At least three of them off corners

At least six of their players who played yesterday were ill across last week…..

Lead to believe so. Wonder why he wanted that for? Or how he knew it might be a problem for him?

Still a little off - here's the rankings from the UK https://www.runbritainrankings.com/rankings/rankinglist.aspx?event=5K&agegroup=ALL&sex=M&year=2024

Ref standards poor here as well then

Download the 5k app Lots of challenges on there tracked. As well as lots of other info. 15 min barrier got broke at Victoria Park yesterday

Yeah same here. Did 12 miles Friday night. Very happy I got it in

Cooper isn’t Wasserman. Fall out after Enzo leaving

Just coming on here to mention that Martinez stamp. Utter mad that’s not a red

Two differences. Players using their own intelligence and other teams dropping twenty yards deeper to preserve their leads
