Steve Cooper - New Manager

[James_lcfc]

Felt a bit sorry for him over the Summer. I said a few times that he’s working with a squad of very low end PL players so needs decent backing.

 

But watching him not start Mavididi or Ricardo in the very first game at home…
Nah, he can get in the bin now.

Credit to him and the team second half. 
 

Fair play. 

[Dahnsouff]

Isn't this exactly what people wanted when enzo went? (second half)

Yep. Far better 2nd half, given the pre season we have had we can hope with a couple more signings and a few more games under the belt we may improve further. 

[FoxesWalk]

Massive credit to him for getting that result and 2nd half performance out of this squad, excellent. Though it has to be said it looked dire in the 1st.

High intensity off the ball and getting it into dangerous areas quickly? YES! 

[cityfanlee23]

Cooper is now walking around the pitch applauding the fans. 
Saw him also doing the simple stuff like waving his arms to fans to get them going when we put the pressure on, you can see little moments like that and how he's applauding the fans now how he gets fans on board.

Cooper needs a better designer T-Shirt or he needs to spend some time in the gym 🤣

There's a lot of negativity about a manager who has steered us to 12th (on alphabetical order)

 

Sadly, I expect it to be our highest league position of the season.

 

Whoops.  Negativity slipped in

I am being the sad guy who posts.on his own post.  In off the post...

 

We're up to 11th (on alphabetical order).   And we've played a game.

If he gets them playing with that much energy regularly, the kop will combust. Not since the days of Huuuuume has it felt so heavy metal. 

[lcfc sheff]

Hope we can actually back him. clearly needs an outlet upfront 

[Wymsey]

Am feeling very positive about this season, regardless of the likely points deduction.

Just please don't play Bobby Reid ever again.... he's completely out his depth playing football 😂

Thought he did alright second half. Grew into the game

[FoxOnWheels]

Credit where it’s due he seemed to manage the game with his changes well

[Tielemans63]

Just took responsibility for the poor first half.....been a while since we had a manager do that.

[jbflcfc]

Poor guys sweating his bollocks off in this interview 😂

[Izzy]

Sweating buckets in his post match interview. Needs to work on his own fitness.

I honestly didn't see that.

I do not want to ever see Soumare as 10 ever again Steve

Called it as it was and took responsibility. Would like to see more ambition from him, but he copped to our poor first half. Honesty and accountability can go a long way - jury is out on him tactically. I hope he does well.

Yes, I was impressed with the honesty in that interview to be honest.

 

If we have more 2nd half’s than 1st half’s he’ll win me over. 
 

The jury is still out though.

Also he wasnt afraid to fix it at HT as well.

 

We were exciting when going forward, was nice to see us using possession efficiently.

I know tv lights are hot and being a football manager is a stressful business, but it was very noticeable and a bit odd!

I’ve no idea where Soumare was playing when he came on.
