**** OFF STEEVIE COOPER YOU ****ING FOREST SHITE!

I’m actually finding this funny, it’s that bad all you can do is laugh….. Also, what a ****ing dreadful signing Skipp was. Lads a short haired version of Robbie Savage, but even worse.

I imagine the Coopites will be full of excuses tonight!

Did the commentator say that we’re stiff opposition? The defence is ****ing stuff!

Even Steve McClaren could do a better job.

****ing he’ll haha this could be a cricket score

Have we got a defence?

Great header JJ.

Lol

We need to look after Bilal. He’s got some top level sauce.

Yes bilal. ****ing baller.

Okoli could on a cold, let alone a football. He's ****ing rubbish.

Justin couldn’t give any less of a **** then could he? 😂

There we go, Bouba is back.

What the actual ****? Soumare? Where did that pace come from?

Not actually playing badly. But you just know there’s still no chance we win this!

“Steve Cooper is turning the fans around”…… want me to have a chat with you love?

Hahaha the ****ing state of that team…..

I didn’t want us to sign him, because of those reasons. What I’m saying is it wouldn’t surprise me if he bags a hat-trick against us, just to piss us off even more. And let’s be fair, the lad will offer more than Edouard!

Yanited will either piss it, or beat us on penalties.

😂😂😂😂 like he would come here……

I think Cooper is stuck between what he wants to do and what the players want to do, and rather than make a decision he’s going with the flow rather than taking control. I’ve heard from a pretty good source that this is the case, Cooper is very much allowing the players to have a say on how they play, which is fine, but if he doesn’t truly believe it’s the way to go himself it’s not going to work….. once Forest went 3-1 up, he literally had no clue what to do, and chucked Soumare on, which still to this moment baffles me, how he’s choosing to play a player who we’ve been desperately trying to offload for two seasons, over someone we’ve just paid £20m of the kings for. So Winks suggests that Cooper has reverted to this system from last season and has gone with it, but has he paid the same meticulous details to it as Enzo did, or has training been a hybrid of what he wants and what the players want, and when we play those who were here last season look to execute that plan, almost like muscle memory, playing the patterns they drilled last season. But when it goes wrong and Cooper has to change it, it all falls apart, after the first goals it turned back into Buonanotte v Forest again, when he just tried to do it all himself. There’s an argument to be had about individual errors, no Cooper isn’t controlling them like a PlayStation, and the players make these mistakes themselves, but part of me believes that the uncertainty within the team also contributes towards this. It’s definitely a team stuck between two style of play…. It’s like a mum has introduced her new boyfriend to her kids, they tolerate him, and listen to him to some degree, but then push the boundaries a little going rogue when they can leading to a somewhat unharmonious relationship. I just feel Cooper will indefinitely be stuck in this position and eventually we will just stagnate and the players will just fall out with his ideology. What they need and crave is a manager with a strong personality, more pragmatic than Enzo was and coaches them and develops a system and a style of play.

I think you’re right. Ipswich will know that we can be got at, but they too are defensively frail….. it’s going to be a masterclass in how not to defend, and who can outscore who…. I’ve just got a horrible feeling that Szmodics is going to have our pants down and leave those who said he wouldn’t be good enough with egg on our faces.

The BBC would change his name surname to avoid offending the basket weavers.

It’s not Cooper’s fault, the players are rubbish and can’t do football.
