DANNY FXXKING WARD!

No. I want to win. And see whoever succeeds Cooper in place for the next round.

I genuinely struggle to believe we'd be worse off without a manager and instead use chatgpt for team selection and sub choices. Or just draw names out of a fxxking hat.

Watching us you're just overcome with this feeling...

Cooper touched him on his way off the pitch. Straight into the shower.

Like for like subs. Fatawu is coming into things a bit more now.

HURRAY! BUO BUO! Just an effort on target. Nothing more...

Cooper should have brought the young guns on by now. Why the fxxk not?

The high fullback thing is horseshit. Okoli gives the ball to Thomas who is further forward than Reid, who gives it back to Reid, move dead. Wingers are fxxking wingers. Why does Cooper think it's better to put fullbacks there and have wingers mooch about the midfield?

Ed, who was shit, off for Jordan, who is going to be mustard.

Fats and Buo linked well there. Hopefully they can get out of the funk they're in.

Yeah, loads of them, they're playing in blue.

It's bad, but drowning yourself is not the answer. Wait til pens for that.

Only one of these players regularly gets in our starting 11. I imagine they all want to put on a good performance. It's just evident they need help from above to do that. But God ain't listening.

Glad to see Okoli is putting in decent performances consecutively. And playing in a similar position to his preseason debut where he was a bit all over the shop on the ball.

Fxxk me!

Well if Cooper were getting something out of other players or playing in a way which inspired hope, then I think it'd be fair to criticise and/or single players out for under par performances. However, when the whole side looks like it does in this regime, then I don't know if criticism is really all that justified about anybody really. Nobody has had any majorly shite moments or fxxking up everything they do, they're just not doing much.

I don't think he does, no.

Odd, cos it doesn't feel like we've had that much more of the ball. Perhaps cos we've done fxxk all with it.

People can talk about the step up to the premier league being too much when they try to defend Cooper and our current position, but today is a clear example of why Cooper will fail. There is no tactic other than to play a high fullback. That's his philosophy. And there's no rhyme or reason to it as it doesn't prove to be successful. We are up against a League 2 team and it's an even contest with Walsall having had the better (only) chances. Under Enzoball, even with this 2nd string, we'd be passing them off the park. Whether that would have resulted in us taking the lead we'll never know, but we'd certainly be in the ascendancy just as we were at Champ level. Coopers system wants to create an overload where the high fullback is the extra man out wide, where Enzo made the inverted fullback his extra man centrally. Whilst Coopers version isn't getting us any joy going forward, it also leaves us far more exposed through the middle as your 'extra man' is out to the side of the pitch away from the play. At least in Enzoball that extra body made playing through us more difficult if it wasn't helping going forward.

They sponsor our gaffer.

3 points Edouard!
