Clever Fox

He would'nt be good enough for some on here.

Well, He was a great player. Can he carry that over into Management which brings a totally different pressure. Many great players have tried and failed. He certainly has worked for and with some of the Best managers inclding Fergie. The question is do we get in a proven mamger or take a chance on Ruud. He's probably worth the risk.

He's strong and tough He should be able to learn a lot from Coady and Vesty. Today he was caught facing his own goal when the Ball came in for the Goal. That should'nt happen really but it's his lack of experience. The big problem is we're losing games while players learn on the job.

Khanouss I thought offered the most but was too often left with no support. Mads was a good as always. Soumare done ok yet for such a big man doesn't offer more in winning the Ball back. VK is continuing to improve. Faes and Okoli werea train wreck all day. McAteer needs to do more but he got our only real shot on goal during play. Vardy was too well marked to be effective. Ayew made a difference when he came on down the right. It's nice to see Daka back playing regardless of what we think of him. He didn't do anything wrong. The rest were average to poor.

He was very lucky today. He should have been off for that tackle. It could have been a season ending tackle. He covered a lot of ground today though without being very effective. His shot on Goal was embarrassing. We've seen it so many times before in front of Goal.

Exactly this. We had that crown with Pearsons and Walsh choosing signings. Why would'nt you try to get them or others back who know what they are doing.

His demeanour on the touchline shows like he knows it's coming.

I understand that noone gets it right all of the time but we've been pretty poor on signings since Puel left. I just wonder who is making the choices and where is the thinking in plugging the weaknesses and building for the future.

That, We both totally agree. Honestly, I hate it when we go and waste a serious amount of money on someone who just hasn't shown us anything yet. At least with Facundo and El Kanoussi you can see they're have Skill and are improving with game time. We haven't seen that from Skipp yet anyway.

Sorry but I disagree. What has he done for us that he has excelled at. He cant defend other than putting a foot in. He cant carry the ball without losing possession. He's not strong enough in challenges and not as good as Winks in possession. So what does he excel at. I know he's young and can improve but I'm just cant see what he brings for 25 million.

Yes I do, I coached a few of them in my time.

If you know the game what has he done of note in any game he's played for us. Even Cooper has given up on him and we know how little he knows. He loses possession too often offers nothing going forward and isn't strong enough in defense. So what does he bring to the Team. ?

Watch and learn son. Watch and learn.

If you're going to get results you've got to control the centre of defense. We haven't done that all season. That's the first place to start. We need Steel and Pace in there with a bit of ability and shit housery.

For 25 million I was expecting quality. He clearly hasn't got it. A journey man at best. He has none of the basic qualities needed. Maybe the right manager can get a game from him but I doubt it.

Cooper shakes his head when the Penalty was awarded to us as if to say no ref. I'm beginning to think he's a Forest plant to halt our recovery.

MCAteer and Skipp should go off.

He's afraid he'll get the Subs wrong.

Vardy hasn't gotten a Ball all day he could work with.

I thought Skipp was supposed to be a good player when we signed him.

All of our success this season has come from the players. Cooper can't claim any of the credit.

He's been our best player. At least he's trying to make things happen.

This is Boys against Men. Embarrassing.

Cooper has sapped all the belief out of the Players.

Chelsea will go through us like a bad Friday night Curry. We've got no chance.
