I'd like to apologise on behalf of Rhondda Cynon Taff.

Mads Faes, Vestergaard, JJ Ricardo, Winks Fatawu, Bilal, Buonanotte, Mavididi Vardy

Just because foxestalk has a history of being reactionary, it doesn't mean that believing Cooper is not good enough is a knee jerk opinion. It's not going to get significantly better that we survive. The squad is good enough for 14-17th but if the manager takes zero risks and has zero belief in them, they won't achieve it.

If we stick with him purely because we don't want to look reactionary we will lose too many points, combined with a deduction, to survive. Worse, he won't get us back up. He's not a good coach, at all. He had one good spell in management and that's it.

No?

Only thing Cooper is achieving this year is the keys to the city of Nottingham.

No he doesn't and no we weren't. This attitude is what will get us relegated. He's not a good enough coach for this level. End of.

I haven't hated a manager like this since Taylor, I made more sympathy for Ollie than Cooper. Get him ****ing gone. Just wasting time being "patient" because nobody wants to be seen to be hysterical.

Please just sack him.

Villa letting us have this much ball makes it even more irritating that we've basically got no ****ing attacking midfielders and no Mav.

I love that we hired a man who'd won won Premier league game in like a million tries.

Come back Brendan, all is forgiven.

The problem with playing such a defensive team, and this happened loads with Rodgers, is it just tells the squad straight away that you don't have confidence in them to win the game. Especially a team that spent last year playing progressive, dominant football. Just shit for confidence. I'm not asking him to be unrealistic but this isn't pragmatism, it's cowardice.

**** me that's horrific. Get the **** out.

In fairness, Ipswich have done similar. It's a product of coming up with a squad nowhere bar ready. Plus, Forest have kept up being bonkers in the market without him. You can blame a lot on Cooper but I don't think Forest signing ten thousand players is on him tbf.

His long term development is more valuable to us than a few minutes he can chip in this year. He'd be a better player for going off and using the loan system than just milling around here.

Mads Faes, Vestergaard, JJ Ricardo, Winks Fatawu, Bilal, Buonanotte, Mavididi Vardy Game three of suggesting our best shape knowing full well he won't play it. Let's go.

That's kind

Really feel like we've ****ed up his development not getting him a proper loan as a first team starter somewhere this window. Especially after losing a year to injury. Even League One would have been better than sitting on the bench all year. Don't trust Cooper at all to give him enough minutes to really bring his game on.

Will enjoy it if he scores more for us this year than Nketiah does for them

Skipp is the only one I'm genuinely annoyed at at the moment. I can't see him coming good enough to justify it if we could have spent the same money on a priority target striker and taken a midfielder on loan instead. The rest I see as largely the product of circumstance. I'm fine with BDCR and Ayew as cheap squad filler to play on rotation every now and then when someone is knackered. My problem isn't necessarily what the signings say about our squad management, it's what they say about the manager's intent because I have genuine concern he sees them as better options than Mavididi and Fatawu. But as I've said before, I've got everything crossed that he's sacked by November anyway and hopefully the damage isn't too done.

Jesus christ, when you list them like that. Where did the waiter go with the salty sorbet?

At Palace. A few days ago he claimed we were signing someone randomly with a polish name and didn't even know what footballer he was talking about. Someone's definitely giving him info at Selhurst I think that much is obvious but he's about as well connected at Leicester as Sean from Enderby. In fact, at least Sean used to be given the line ups.

I don't know who still needs to hear this but it's 2024, not everyone over six foot just scores headers. He's much, much better with his feet.
