That's the idea boys. You poke the bear with a stick.

Beat me to it, I was just about to press submit.

Ruud and Co have had best part of a week together so expect tweaks to be made to the tactics and lines up. Brighton didn't look that great last night so it could be closer than it would've been tbf. We'll need to be the 12th man come Sunday.

Cooper

Could be better but then again I've thought that all season. Hopefully we're All wrong.

1 - 1 Manager Bounce. 3 - 0 If no Manager Bounce

Surely his first job is to teach Daka how to score.

Let's see if the players got the balls to take the piss out of this guy. Best of Luck Keeping us up Ruud

After yesterday's performance I had to agree we were not progressing under SC. To be honest he didn't stand a chance from Day One. Hopefully we can now move on. I will say though, Two Weeks Wasted by the Board.

I have supported SC all season but after yesterday's Team performance I can't see us progressing under him. Time for a change before the inevitable happens I think. The thing is, do we trust those in the board to do it.

Check Out who Brighton are hiring next and get in first. If he goes that is. But at the moment it's unlikely tbf.

Yep, and I still do. tbf.

I was hoping they'd sack him after our game. Now I can' see us getting anything out of the match.

He bowed to the pressure from the Fan's and Others. He played the Team everybody was calling for. (including me) Ricci looked off the pace and we've put to much pressure on a 19 yo. Individual errors cost us the game, plus a fluke. (Not Cooper) Ps: Forest have the 2nd best defence in the League and let's not forget they've drawn with Newcastle, Brighton & Chelsea and also beat Liverpool in their own backyard.

Is this still going ? 1. We haven't been battered (Yet) 2. We've lost to Fulham, Villa & Arsenal all of which will be Top Half Teams tbf. 3. Yep his Team choices are a bit frustrating but as I've said 'We don't know what's going on behind the scenes' 4. We all want decent football however, If we are drawing with decent Teams and Winning I'm happy. 5. Ayew is there for a reason. Yesterday, apart from the first 20 minutes he got an 8 in the player ratings. 6. SC's remit is to keep us in the Division. How he does it, is his job. Give the Guy a Break, when Christmas comes and he's still here, it will be because he's doing job. If he's gone, then he's failed, either way I'm still still supporting the Team he puts out from afar nowadays.

He still ours, if the season goes as predicted we'll need him next season. If not he's getting valuable game time to improve tbf

Walsall 3rd in League Two They've won 5 of their 7 games. They're no mugs. We were their League Cup Final at their Place. Their First Team nearly beat our Subs apart from Ward that is. Don't get me wrong it wasn't pretty, But the Team that plays against Arsenal got a rest and it showed us we don't have the strength in depth that other Premiership Teams will have. It's not Coopers fault he's been dealt a poor hand, at least he had the balls to sit at the table and is prepared to play on. Our Last Forest Manager before Megson only Won 3 of his first 16 games which led to Crowd Demonstrations after Sheff Utd beat us. Like I've said before, we haven't taken a hammering (Yet) get real people, the Guy along with the Team needs help and our support and he'll have mine until the inevitable happens.

All this Doom and Gloom. Don't get me wrong I'm not Happy But: We don't know what's going on behind the scenes, we don't know fitness levels and we don't know what SC is having to deal with on & off the pitch. As I see it we haven't taken a hammering, so I'm going to support the Team & SC until the inevitable happens. Ps: It must be hard to know that the Fans don't want you and you're playing with a poor hand of cards. Bring on Arsenal

A If we win there will still be people calling for Cooper to be sacked. B If we draw see A C If we lose see B

It'll be Nketiah's first game for Palace and he'll have a point to prove. As for everyone picking the Team, I'll leave that SC. I'm sure he'll see the next 7 games as his time to get us started on the road to Premiership Survival. I'll just wait and see where we are by the time we meet Ipswich Nov 2nd Hopefully the No Points Deduction News will give us a boost.

Had Leicester avoided relegation in 2022/23, they may have been charged along with Everton and Nottingham Forest in the previous season. Hat's Off to the Mastermind who Planned our Relegation to the Championship. Pure Genius Jon.

When did we hire Man City's lawyers. Perhaps that's where KDH's transfer money went Anyway the PL will get us somehow now.

I feel for Steve Cooper, He's come to a Club where the Fans were against his employment from the start, with a Mediocre Team with low budget additions. His Team Selection has been poor at times but we don't know what's been going on behind the scenes. Wout Faes coming out and saying he's unhappy, perhaps Ricardo feels or has said the same. I agree with the 3 DMs was baffling on Saturday, although we are not privy to fitness levels either. In glimpses we've looked good in particular when Mavididi has come on. So for me I'll give Cooper some slack until we start playing Teams that we should be on par with Palace Everton Bournemouth Southampton Forest Ipswich.

I remember reading similar comments when played Plymouth and few others last season. Maresca Style & Subs. I get it that Coopers not everyone's cup of tea but at least he was up for the challenge. There wasn't que around the block when it came to applicants. Give the Guy a Break and remember we're now playing Premiership teams with one arm tied behind our back. Not Plymouth and the likes. Let him learn from his mistakes

We don't see the boys in training so we don't know the fitness levels. Although I agree with some of the negative comments. If they're wearing the shirt they're still the Team I support.
