Stop with this bollocks because no one is buying it. This team was playing some serious football last season and he’s got them looking like they have all turned up on the first day of pre-season and met each other for the first time.

Just goes to show how bollocks the coaching badge requirements are. Will Still has barely completed his UEFA Pro licence and he made Cooper look like a Sunday park manager.

He’s a dog shit manager. He’s been living off winning a youth World Cup when he was blessed with some of the best youngsters England have produced for too long now. This team looks a shell of what it was 3 months ago.

There’s ****ing no chance Okoli is better than Ben Nelson.

I feel sorry for the fans who’ve gone to France for this. This team looks lost.

Can’t wait to hear all the “pragmatic” football supporters come out and defend Steve Cooper and his merry band of ****wits he calls his backroom staff.

Genuinely it can’t get much worse than this.

I’m not having that Alves wouldn’t be any better than Bobby Reid. Bloke looks like he’s never played football before.

Now that it is so easy to sign players from South America, post Brexit, I can see a flood of attacking full backs coming into the Premier League from that region. So many great options, Southampton have just snapped up Welington Damascena absolute baller at LB. There are gems available, we just need to be bold with our decision making and ignore Cooper’s demands for premier league proven players.

Would you have said the same if Enzo Maresca was still in charge?

No one is denying he’s a good player, most people are disillusioned with the club being in a position where we are having to sign players on loan from clubs in our league. Without an option to buy, if he has an amazing season here (like we all hope), all we’ve done is improve Brighton’s first team or line their pockets for more money out of his future transfer.

The club will keep losing its best academy talent if they see no pathway to the first team. Signing young players from rival teams in your own league, on loan, with no option to make it permanent, screams poverty club with no sporting direction.

He’s brought Bobby DC Reid in to play straight away, didn’t exactly set the world alight today, Will Alves is at a crucial point in his development, if we can’t give him more game time than 8 minutes in pre-season then something is wrong with the development pathway at our club.

Cooper. Ric is right, he’s got a record of working with young players in football and he’s shown **** all appetite to do it here in pre-season. I don’t know if not using Alves or Golding is a tactic to force the clubs hand on transfers but both of their potential is being stagnated by him.

He’ll be gone by December.

Tell me you don’t know football, without telling me you don’t know football…

What is the ****ing point of giving someone 8 minutes in pre-season. Honestly I ****ing hate Steve Cooper. Shit Forest ****.

Steve’s taking the ****ing piss here. No Sammy B again but rolls out Hamza and Soumaré and plays Wilf for a full 90 and moves him to the number 10 position with Alves and Golding sat there. Get to **** Steve. **** off back to NG postcodes ****.

I’m calling it now, Alves will refuse to a sign a new deal with the club.

**** me Steve, I don’t care what you’ve promised Bobby Reid before he came here, unleash the Alves mate. He’s your number 10 you’re crying out for.

If you thought getting spaghetti hoops splattered up your washing was bad enough, imagine finding tiny orange, Steve cooper faces made of semolina and durum wheat on ye Mrs’s pearly whites! Teks it to a whole new level 🤣

Cooper was tapping Reid up to join the club, he said what made him swing the decision to join us was mainly due to how the manager wants to use him and was excited at working with him. Coady’s already referred to him as teachers pet as Ric mentioned above.

Should be a statue of these three and Claudio at some point. The greatest period of this club’s history was because of these men.

RIP Shakey. Proper bloke. Gutted.

Anyone seen the club have done a really awkward video of Coady interviewing Bobby Reid? “Yeah not blowing smoke up your arse mate but buzzing to have you lad great player, have seen it in training already, when I saw the news I was like yeah I’m having this”. It’s like North Korean propaganda at this point to try and get the disillusioned fanbase onside. Soule’s agent is right, the club haven’t got a ****ing clue, look at the January 2023 window, then the summer window last year and then now. Zero consistency to recruitment.
