This is the first time Cooper has played the best first team. Come on you Foxes!

Just come in from mowing the lawn after listening to first half demolition. What's going on??

You'll never sing that You'll never sing that Danny Ward Man of the match

It's all about expectations. Cooper by all accounts did well at keeping Forest in PL and their fans didn't want him sacked. He was not in our top 3 targets and many fans would not be ready to accept an ex Forest manager. He inherited a weaker squad than we had last year and we're looking at a points deduction. We had a kind set of fixtures to start with and have played ok but would have expected a win and 4-5 points by now. He probably needs more time but fans on his back will actually harm the teams confidence, performance and results hence it become a self fulfilling prophecy. But fans expect a clear style of play, effort from players and decisive tactical changes in games to positively affect outcomes. I'm thinking the data analysts need to really help drive some of those in game tactical decisions that should be made in a more timely manner. Rudkin should be all over this and get Cooper the support needed so we can turn round games. Fans want a capable and competent manager and successful team. At present we appear to neither.

Looked poor in first half, better second especially offensively. Shower great energy, still very raw and prone to mistakes. I was hoping after we scored that he and Reid would be subbed for Ricky and Madividi.

At least we haven't got Jonny Evans on penalties. Just lifted it over the bar to gift the community sheild to Man City 7-6

One year extension would have been ok in my opinion. He lost his legs under Brenda but we saw a different player repurposed to may offensive runs under Enzo which gives me a bit of hope that he's not just a one trick pony as a DM. Cooper should see that and use him accordingly.

If he's our top target as reported in the media we deserve relegation. Just hoping this is untrue and we have higher aspirations than a player who has a pretty poor record for goals and assists.

46.36 rounded down. My maths is sound.

Would you be happy if we ended the next PL season on 46 points ( ie 1.22 PPG)? I would.

I like them for losing the play-off final 🤣

So where is our list?

The one we deserve to be in. Pretty pointless question in my opinion.

Just wondering when the retained list will be published this year. Previously it's been around 5th June. I'm wondering if the managerial merry-go-round will impact on decision making and delay this for another week or so. I couldn't find anything on a quick search of the forum topics

Our triple King, happy retirement Andy. Needs to be awarded freedom of the city

Whilst I'd love forest to be relegated I can't see that happening. We had been promoted when I posted above hence two east midlands teams.

Both East Anglia teams will be promoted to join two east midlands teams in the premier league

Maresca Will want the group to continue the winning mentality too set up the start to the premier League. You are only as good as your last results. We all remember the impact 14-15 had on the next season albeit in the premier.

Corrected The biggest element of Daka's game that has been improved this season? LINK-UPS PLAY. Let me present YODEL with EVRI evidence

Pub in Spain it is then

I'm in Spain for a few months and paid for the hub international pass at start of Jan. Saw Huddersfield game but tonight the website states I'm in an unauthorised territory. Rather unhelpfully the territories that games can be viewed on the hub web page for tonight's game is as follows just 2 hours before kick off. I might have to go to a pub instead but I'm unimpressed that this is so disorganised : Ipswich Town (H) | Monday 22 January | 8pm KO Broadcast availability will be confirmed for this fixture shortly. Audio commentary is available everywhere.

Guessing he'll be loaned or to another club that will give him game time. Can't see him anywhere near the Chelsea first team this season.

He's a far more effective striker in a two, but that's not something Maresca's tactics employ. His form has been patchy of late but there is a fine player in there but it is probably time to sell him on.
