The Doctor

not how that works, its essentially a payday loan they've taken out to free up cash flow for something

for those defending him on the basis we're not currently in the relegation zone... what happens when the fixture difficulty difference starts to equalize and Wolves/Ipswich pull away from us? do we then cling on to Everton, Southampton and Palace continuing to be shit?

come February when they get rid out of desperation it'll only be the training facilities and no points deduction left, because you know full well he'll sell good players like Ricardo and Mavididi to bring in more "premier league experience". Expect Serge Aurier and a club record move for Dwight McNeil come January

please look up the concept of regression to the mean

only Saka, Rice and Calafiori of their starting PL team from Arsenal played though

what positives are there currently though? look at the stats We're 18th for Shots on target per game (ahead of Southampton and Ipswich) 19th for shots per game (ahead of Ipswich) 19th for xG (ahead of Ipswich) 18th for Passes into the penalty area (ahead of forest and Ipswich) 19th for shot creating actions (ahead of Ipswich) pretty awful offensive stats ahead of only Ipswich consistently, who've had man city and Liverpool in their fixtures so far.

El Sackico is back baby

the PSR fiddling is gonna wreck so many young players careers (because you have to do it with academy players to maximize the profit), and it's gonna have a massively detrimental effect on englands teams in the next 5-10 years

@Ric Flair wife's got in the car while I'm listening to the new episode, says you sound like an old Josh Widdicombe

it's the absence of a plan or any cohesion. under Pearson you could see what we were attempting to do, under Cooper it's like watching a bunch of randos who met for the first time 10 minutes earlier try and play

they're in league two and had rotated a few players, and our last ex Forest manager was in charge for 9 games and won 3 of them. I'll give you that we've not been hammered in scoreline yet

his ex players taking pity on him at 5-0 down and the fans giving him pelters?

as if we're managing 4 shots on target in a game

under Cooper it'll be Arsenal L Bournemouth D Southampton D Forest D Ipswich L barely getting anything at home and just managing to get a point at Southampton because Brussel is also out of his depth. 6 points from 10 and 17th place, above Everton on GD, 1 point clear of Wolves and Southampton

don't ask what the random lines on his face are, background extraction tool made a hash of it but I'm putting in as much effort as he does coaching the team

I mean, Ritchie Norman was my PE teacher back in the day, I say get him in. Bring back the ice kings

he wanted to bring in his own recruitment and coaching teams, we didn't want to pay for that so cheaped out. got 8m to spare for Jordan Ayew to trundle around though

it'll be man city away and it'll be like watching Garry Kasperov play chess with a pigeon in terms of the Guardiola vs Cooper tactical battle

Sergio Conceicao Roger Schmidt Niko Kovac Kasper Hjulmand all free agents having just left porto, benfica, wolfsburg and Denmark respectively this summer, all massive upgrades on this PE teacher

ah yeah, because if you think we should be capable of more than 2 shots on target against league two Walsall you must think we should be qualifying for Europe... the football is trash and if we stay up it will be because three teams were even worse than us, we wouldn't have done everything in our power to stay up.

lose v arsenal draw v Bournemouth if we sack cooper then I think we take 5-7 points from the following 3. if we don't, 2 points and into the relegation zone and still winless after 10 games

no wonder he was delighted to come here instead of staying at Fulham. drawing down three years salary for that?

God help me, I'm actually gonna have to give Ward the MoTM... Fatawu and Facundo weren't great, trying to do it all themselves, Eduoard i forgot was playing repeatedly so that should tell you how bad he was and the Soumare, Thomas, Coady, Choudhury combo is the sort of thing that is banned under the geneva convention as cruel and unusual punishment.

It's Steve Cooper, good chance he decides that makes Ward worthy of the starting spot.

Ahahahahhaha absolutely robbed them.
