My only concern is, yes we can play like that, but can Cooper coach it? Get the players who weren't here last season to understand it? I'm not so sure he has the ability to do it. He needs to fully understand it. Enzo did and knew how to tweak it, how to integrate new players into it so everyone knows new what to do. I really don't think Cooper can, and that is where the system will fall down in each match. Right system, wrong manager/coaches. And where does the buck stop....the person who employed Cooper.

@StriderHiryu

I was so angry last night. But now I feel numb. I look back and think why am I surprised? Why was I expecting anything else. And I think that's what I'll be like from now until Rudkin is gone. He's not running the footballing side well. So we lost, badly. We have a manager that is out his depth, a team looking lost and a DoF who just makes mistake after mistake. The club is soft

Mysteriously missing? This is on him. We need to get a fresh DoF with proper contacts in. Quite clearly they panicked when appointing him, but he should have gone the summer before. Heales mistake after mistake yet is still in post.

No, no no. The quicker people get this out their head the better. It has absolutely diddly squat to do with being ex forest. Morgan turned into a Leicester legend, he was from forest. If he was from Brazil/Argentina/Croatia/Australia/Mars he would still get the same stick from me. He's tactically inept, game management shy and just way out his depth. The players aren't playing well for full 90 minutes, as @Muzzy_no7 has listed we haven't played well all season, including pre season. So get this out your head, it's nothing to do with the forest link and all about our season. 2 wins that we were lucky to get away with and we should have been ripped apart by Arsenal as an example. Like you even said we are only good for half a game, that's on him

Jordan Ayew was utterly useless today.

If it is, I'm yet to see any evidence of this. And if true. Wow!

It's certainly time for a fresh approach in the DoF role at least it's been stale for years

Ah bum. Forgot to mark as Manager out.

Don't. Let. The. Ball. Bounce!!

What a poor show from him. For a defender not to be able to head the ball properly is criminal. Very poor from him. Very

Poor, poor goals to concede. All 3 preventable in some way. Forest deserved that win as they were organised and very well drilled. Leicester - the opposite.

He's quick to put his hands up, but he's not learning and that shows he's tactically out his depth.

I think there's a player in him, he's got a neat touch, but not having a preseason and being managed by you know who isn't helping him. I'd give him time

Do you know what, my frustration after every game I'd getting to me. This is all on the incompetent board running the club. I'm becoming numb as it's just the same game after game. The same complaints. We're not moving forward...we've regressed so much.

Frustration with him tonight isn't with the goals, that's on the players. He didn't know how to manage the system. The players that came on made it worse and killed it. Game management was so poor hence why we can only play for 45. The 1st half was even, and we had Forest rattled. 2nd goal so early was sheer unforgiving. Like I say that's on the players. Difference in the two teams, one changed it, the other didn't know what to do. It was clear which is which.

Chat sh.........

The forest lot are too confident about tonight. They claim they have "the best defence in the league"... I soo hope we prove them wrong.

And do you believe him? That was the first time I've seen someone say this, but it's just a rehash of what cooper said when he arrived...aka media speak. Not what he actually feels, I think. Are we playing like last season with tweaks? Southampton 2nd half is the first time in seeing it Listen to post match interviews...how often is he mentioned?

I would love him to be a success. Him being a success means our club is successful, but he's just not a good manager. Basic subs is one of a long line that shows he's not proactive enough. He will do things when he's forced. Maresca didn't. He saw flaws and changed things. Sometimes it didn't work, but he wanted to take the initiative. Cooper doesn't, and that's is based on what I've seen, nott hat he's a forest ex manager or anything else. This is what I've seen in every game.

This is what came across in interviews as well with players, with Vards. They clearly liked Maresca and playing for him, look how many times they mentioned him, said how much they were enjoying it. Cooper? Every interview I've heard from players rarely mention him. It's seems to be "the lads" rather than the gaffer. That speaks volumes to me.

I'd be more gunning for Man Utd and Everton. Everton have been the unflushables for far too long!

Only at weekends, though. I have standards in the week

Florist to play Monday and Friday night seems harsh. Not that I'm complaining as we have an extra couple of days. But if we're a florist fan, I'd be annoyed

Played like a captain. He is also better because Southampton gave him space, when he's under pressure, that's when he seems to struggle
