Steve Cooper - New Manager

[BlackFox]

My prediction 0-2 Everton 

[Molson Canadian]

The anticipated FFP points deduction penalty really screwed us. He was the best we could get who would agree to come with the point deduction looming.  
 

Rudders get him out of here and find someone else now. 

[ronnup]

That 30 minutes has convinced me ....hes crap

[Noahfence]

I hate him so much 

[Muzzy_no7]

Even if we turn it around and win 3-1 I still want him gone. 

[CrispinLA in Texas]

No way he's going to be sacked it's  3 more years of Cooper 

[Muzzy_no7]

If we can’t attract a Schmidt, Conceicao or Hjulmand then go and get Moyes, Nolan, McKinley and Adi Vivesh to sort this mess out. 

[Fazzer 7]

I have always said, Cooper is a league one manager or championship at best. 

[Stevosevic]

Waste of a season with him in charge 

[foxfanazer]

Imagine actually thinking he's a decent manager

[studentofthegame]

Genuinely ridiculous that this clown doesn't think to play Fatawu against a defence made up of liabilities like Young and Keane

[Iwebema]

Foxestrust match report will be good. Probably blame the rain. Most of us have seen enough football to spot a lame duck and thats what we've got. Comfortably the worst manager in the division by some margin. He's a beat your chest play for the badge manager like frank lampard. Top level football is beyond that outside of the last few games in a relegation fight.

[Cropwellfox]

**** sake, I thought he’d do ok, have players on the front foot at home at least. Shown himself up to be completely clueless and out of his depth. Given he said he’s spent his time away from a job learning, would love to know where the **** he’s been. Failure school seemingly 

[Mike1983]

No game plan, no tactics - what exactly is Cooper doing here? At this level, it’s embarrassing.

[Thefox81]

Just feck off. Stealing a living the 🤡

[Lambert09]

still on forests payroll 

[Gav_LCFC14]

Completely wasted 5 games 

[KingsX]

[WarehamFox]

Get this fraud out asap! And whoever employed him get them out. My club is going downhill. Another shite show, still no Ricardo.

[BigGibbo]

Tried so hard to give him the benefit of the doubt, but he's lost me today. 

 

Fundamentally unintelligent decisions from day one and today's pathetic performance and poor in game management at home against comfortably the worst team in the league was risible.

 

I like a proactive manager, but this guy's not even reactive... just a deer in the headlights. 

 

Glad Mavididi is making him look a mug by consistently showing he's our best player after forcing his way back into the team he never should have been out of.

 

Pereira's turn next.

[sdb]

Man is on borrowed time. He can't get a thing right and we genuinely look like we're attacking our own end half the time.

[VLC86]

Admin, delete all previous posts by me in here. Pathetic.

[BillyFOX12]

I know you lot really seem to rate Cooper, personally, I think he's shite.

[Crinklyfox]

The job of a manager is to choose the tactics to be used against the opposition, pick the starting XI and subs who can deliver those tactics, motivate the squad and react to the opposition's performance and tactics on the day.

 

I've watched five PL matches now and have had concerns with all those requirements.  Hindsight is easy but the deterioration from last season is alarming.  IMO we've been the weaker team in each of those matches and could easily have fewer than the accumulated three points that just keep us out of the relegation places.

 

To me the Everton game was a watershed.  We were up against the team bottom of the PL with zero points, a horrendous injury list and players playing out of position.  If we can't beat such a team we probably can't beat an other PL team and the sad fact is that in the first half we looked bereft of direction and motivation.  The second half was better but we still looked well below the quality I'd expect to see in a PL team.  I'm not saying that this can't be turned round but without better team selection and tactics I don't think it will be.  At least the players put in a shift second half but sweat alone won't save us.  I fear for the rest of the season.

[UniFox21]

This is the second or third time he's said we were nowhere near it in a half. Hugely worrying
