Good effort that is, nice one. I do enjoy reading inspiring stories like this Not far off the Super Hans diet of running and smack

I'd genuinely be happier to see Rudkin has been sacked before Cooper. Cooper is a symptom, Rudkin is the disease.

I feel like if you remember to do that you're probably not drunk enough to get a hangover anyway

I think I like Coote more after seeing that

It's hard to be excited for the future while watching us slowly regress with seemingly no real plan or vision for the club in the medium/long term.

The claustraphobia you experience being behind the car park goal with a fence right behind you

Turns out... if you play for a team that attacks loads, you score loads of goals

Fixed it for you. Love the idea that one incorrect decision has taken us from picking up 60-65 points a season to scrapping for relegation

I remember getting C D E at A level, had good GCSE grades A's, B's and a few C's but just lost interest in the subject material at A Level and ended up going through the motions. Finished them and spent a year doing god awful work in factories for temp agencies. Then applied to Hallam for a Games Development undergrad degree, they didn't offer me that but offered me Animation and programming. Absolutely fell in love with the course and ended up with a 2:1 - felt pretty cheated out of a first as I missed out by 1%. This was because 1 person gave my dissertation 80% and the other marker gave me 40% (which didn't surprise me as he didn't grilled me asking why someone from an animation course was developing a Football Chairman game in Java) The fact that 4 of my 6 modules were programming and only 1 animation didn't appear to be good enough for him Anyway long story short - I got an opportunity with a company in Notts shortly after graduating where I became a junior web developer. The CEO at the company also asked me why I had done so poorly at A Levels and so well at Uni. A combination of working awful jobs and finding something that interested me was the one for me. I've now been working in Web Development for 12 years and loved it. Had I not been given that opportunity by Sheff Hallam I dread to think how many miserable jobs I'd have had without hitting my potential. If you're judging someone based on their A levels and not what they've managed to achieve since they stopped being 16-18, then that's incredibly short-sighted.

You'd like to think a premier league manager would be able to take advantage of that...

If @Babylon can write his letter of recommendation they'll be looking to break the bank to get him in ASAP

I think they've got a good chance to be fair, 2nd round there's much fewer ties to get in the way.

Fair play to Cooper if he's finally the man that's made Soumare realise he's a f***in unit Few decent cameo's recently, he's probably earned a start, let's be fair. Cooper is gonna pack the midfield and look to counter, so if Soumare can be that guy to carry the ball forwards at place then he could really start to turn around his time here. Not gonna hold my breath but it's nice to see glimpse of what we paid £20m for.

Haha yeah this is it, we're never going to trouble the top half of the Prem under this trio. It's a gentle slide back to mid table obscurity in the 2nd tier I think. Which will be impressive dismantling considering where we were 3/4 seasons ago.

The ref not giving probably one of the most blatant penalties I've ever seen, and then Ipswich losing a player 10 seconds later The game was only heading in one direction till that moment. McKenna got it massively wrong afterwards though and it felt inevitable we'd score. He pulled a Cooper and sat back far too deep inviting wave after wave of attacks.

I think I need another replay. Probably one of those that the VAR wouldn't have overruled if the ref has given it either way

Still trying to figure out how that wasn't a pen in the moments before Phillips' red card

Does he? I assumed he did but I'm not sure he actually does

If I've learned anything, we should start this one with a strong team if we're not interested in winning. Start the likes of BDR, Soumare, Ayew, Eduoard against Ipswich so we can bring on the good players for the last 20.

Individuality and chaos on the pitch. It's very rare you'll find much of it on pitches these days. Even at lower professional levels, almnost everyone is singing from the same hymn sheet and the game is becoming incredibly tedious to watch.

I was so excited to finally watch Magomedov live and he didn't disappoint! What a KO from the boy

One of the FBs would have played the same role...again...people making out we've turned from prime Brazil into a village team because the change of personnel. The manager playing god awful tactics where his one move is "pack the middle and hope for the best" Steve...if the opposition decide to put 7 men in the middle..maybe focus attacks out wide next time

How many tickets have you been allocated? Gonna me a cracking day to be a kettering fan that is

Did you not see the state of Ayew when he came on? Fatawu was asked to try and beat 3 mean by himself all night. People going in unfairly on the lad when the clown manager hung him out to dry

I genuinely don't know what you and the other people making that comment are saying. We were 2-0 down!! How do you look at that and go "yeah that was class, more of that please, we'll keep scoring 2 or 3 goals in the last 20-30 minutes of games" It's crazy logic
