Too expensive to get rid of Ruud now but as many others have suggested put him on gardening leave as we need to try and build a little positive momentum before we start in the Championship next season. Get in a new coach as soon after the end of this season as possible and put Filbert Fox in charge for the last 8 games. He couldn't do any worse than Ruud.

Hard to believe that the club we love could have plumetted to these depths. Anyone still watching this train wreck is doing so out of morbid curiosity. A complete rebuild from 'Top' to bottom required in the championship. Failure to do so and who knows how bad things could get.

Completely agree with this. Yes, they are only two points ahead of us but it's patently obvious they are much better than we are. And yes, they lost away at Liverpool but thinking we can fihish above them with the squad we have compared to their's is delusional. Don't do it to yourselves.

It's so obvious. Naive coaching.

Bring on Buonanotte, Mav and Daka to start the second half for the 100 year plus front three. Get at this awful Spurs team with pace. What do we have to lose?

Watching Bournemouth dismantle Newcastle today was a joy to watch, not least because they helped preserve Vardy's incredible scoring record. Their level of performance regardless of injuries throws into sharp relief how fat they've risen and we've fallen. Whatever the result in our game today I hope the crowd turns up the volume against the cause of our demise. Blaming individual mistakes by players or coaching decisions is pointless. We all know where the blame lies and what needs to change before our fortunes can be turned around.

Home grown so he'd give everything for the shirt and he can score goals at this level. If you have better suggestions list them. As I said, we have limited options.

Our options will be limited in January. Do us a favour Enzo and send us Dewsbury-Hall back on loan!

That was a total embarrassment. Yes, Ward is less useful than a pylon! Yes, Ruud made some baffling decisions! But our problems, which continue to mount, are that we have a total bunch of incompetents running the club. They clearly have no plan and cannot be trusted going forward, be it to strengthen for a push for survival in January or to plot a way back after our increasingly likely relegation to the Championship. Top must get rid of the real culprits for our catastrophic demise or sell to owners that will. Vichai must be turning in his grave watching what he built turn to dust!

Noticed that too. says a lot. Ruud is a winner and he is creating a positive environment in which every player can buy in. Getting the best out of the players at your disposal is key. There's a long way to go but this team will get better and better as the season goes on.

So refreshing to hear a coach talk sense. Loved the touch of humour when talking about Vardy. The feel-good factor Ruud brings gives us real hope after the despair of the Cooper era. Thank the lord it was brief.

Can we afford not to?

Put him out of his misery!

No fight at all. This second half display has been embarrassing.

Get Moyes on the phone to come and sort out this shambles. It's so obvious that this team looks lost. Even United have fallen asleep and Rude is making changes to liven things up. This is pitiful!

Thoroughly outcoached and outplayed until the idiot desrevedly got sent off. We have talent in this squad but need a coach who knows what he's doing. Cooper is a lucky b****** but luck won't keep us up. Get rid and we could stay up!

Second string it is against Man U first team but I defy anyone watching this to suggest that the players have any idea what they are trying to do. Total lack of coaching glaringly evident. Woeful!

Hate Forest, always have and always will, but the difference between having a coach with a clear plan and another that is tactically inept was painfully evident tonight.

This is a comedy show! Get rid of the tactically bereft clown before it's too late!

Delighted we won but my opinion of Cooper hasn't changed. Superb goal from Buonanotte should have been the springboard for a positive display with attacking intent. Instead we defended a precarious 1 goal lead for the remainder of the game. Our defending was excellent but such was our negative approach, if it hadn't been for poor finishing and the woodwork, it would have been another disappointing defeat. I think our squad is strong enough to survive but Cooper lacks the tactical acumen to get the best out of it. I'd pull the trigger before we sink into the bottom 3 but we all know that this lot will leave it too late like they did with Rodgers.

Cooper needs to make some smart subs now!

You obviously have more insight than our board. That's nothing to shout about!

I have this nagging feeling that Cooper was brought in with next season's Championship battle in mind. With a 10 point deduction looming our clueless board were essentially waving the white flag rather than going for it. Cooper kept Forest up because his shortcomings as a coach were forgiven by a fan base ravenous for PL football after a 20 year absence. He also had credit in the bank for getting them out of the Championship against the odds. In contrast, our fan base has recently experienced a PL title and an FA cup triumph, so the dross Cooper is serving up was bound to quickly create a toxic atmosphere. We should have been braver and gone for Corberan who would have built on rather than undermine what Maresca was building. Until our inept, 'rud'derless (the irony) board are replaced, expect us to continue our descent back into the Championship where the EFL are waiting to give us a proper caning. We all know Cooper should be moved on sooner rather than later but we also know the trigger won't be pulled until it is too late!

Wern't we always told 'attack is the best form of defence' ?

Anti-football!
