Really? Which of our players do you think would get into Forest’s starting XI?

 

I was wondering this when we played them and struggled to come up with many. Hermansen maybe? 

We were the better team in the first half…..  second half we fell apart….. and regardless of current form, Chris Wood isn’t fit to sniff the sweat from a 30 something Jamie Vardy’s ballsack.

Yes I agree, it's the fans duty to hold the board accountable by airing their frustrations on matchdays. But they don't. Because they just aren't bothered.

 

It doesn't really matter if Cooper stays or goes, because those sat in the boardroom clearly have no plan or vision for this club whatsoever. Replacing Maresca with Cooper exemplifies that perfectly.

 

Yes. It seemed to me when Cooper was hired it was like the board saw the words "out of work manager" and thought. "he'll do"

The man they depend on for goals wasn't good enough for us a decade ago and Ryan Yates is the captain.

 

Hermansen, Winks, Ricardo and an on-form Vardy would all get on their side if properly coached.

Yeah 10-years-ago when Woods was a raw and still learning striker. Same as Kane. Sadly you wouldn’t select either over a striker who is 38 in a months time.
 

I’d agree with you on Winks ahead of Yates, but then they’ve Sangara injured who we spent a long time trying to sign as a replacement for N,Didi/Sourmare.

Bottom line is a decent manager would get more out of this squad. Problem is we have a championship level manager who isn’t a decent manager. Get rid and hire someone capable. 

[worthosoriginals]

Like the,  (now have since gone eerily quiet) cooper fans used to say on here, at least we're  not bottom 3, and we've scored in every game, he just needs more time.

Where are you feckers hiding now ?!

[jayfox26]

I do love going in the fb pages and winding up the happy clappers. Honestly don't know why these feckers even bother, they genuinely don't give a shite who our manager is, how shit, we play, how bad our results are or what league we play in. Literally zero fcks given across the board. Some of these odd balls would have been happy for Rodgers to carry on destroying the club and have us on the way to the national league. The frightening misconception that "supporting" the club is happy clapping along regardless of how pathetic we are. 

 

I don't think this is just exclusive to LCFC though, I don't think many people have the same passion for football like they have previously as the games on its arse. 

 

Cooper out, Rudkin out, Whelan out, happy clappers out, Faes out. In fact can we just factory reset the club and start again please

This mindset needs to stop. It's nothing to do with the Forest connection. For me, it never has. It's due to what I'm seeing game in and game out. 

Ah absolutely, performances on the pitch have been poor overall although we've also managed to grind out a few decent results. I do think that the Forest connection is putting more negative pressure upon him though.

Spoiler alert, football is 90 mins. The fact we could only be better (and from what I remember we weren’t) against our biggest rival while at home tells you enough, particularly a not good enough defence that regularly got torn apart by the sweaty ballsack.

Spot on with the Facebook lot. If you voice an opinion you're not a real fan according to them. Real happy clappers. 

[Corky]

The last two home second halves, in games we were behind, has seen us have one shot on target. A 95th minute penalty.

 

Criminally bad.

Maybe they do it the right way. Maybe I shouldn't get so annoyed and angry when we play and just sit back smiling and clap. My wife and kids would certainly prefer that than me constantly being a grumpy, miserable bastard 🤣.

If you owned a brewery and someone continually pissed in your barrels, you'd sack them, right?

I just hope they don't have the same attitude in day-to-day life.

According to Mrs Para, I'm like that every day.

Yes i was about to say that me being that way isn't just exclusive to watching Leicester 🤣

Battle hardened prem midfielders like, eh Winks, Skipp, Ndidi, Ayew, BDCR?  Our best midfielder has been Facundo anyway who's not that experienced so, yeah, quite a lot of nonsense in your posts on this I'd say.  

 

Nobody is claiming this is a great side.  But it's absolutely smack you in the face obvious that systemically and from a coaching perspective we are going nowhere under Cooper.  

Winks and ndidi were battle hardened a few years back but the fact they both spent last year in the Championship says something about their current quality and career direction. Ayew is not a midfielder. 

 

I'm not disagreeing at all over cooper, wel never achieve more than scraping survival under him and even that may well be beyond him. What I disagree with is the notion that removing him will automatically turn us back into a half decent midtable side. Those days are long gone.

 

As far as I am concerned the failure to sack rodgers early two seasons ago has absolutely crippled the club to a Peter Taylor like degree ( despite marescas adams esque sticking plaster promotion) and we are on the verge of reliving the mid 00s again. With the current team and board level leadership itl take a genius level manager to stop this happening.

[Staff]

People saying this squad is good enough to stay up need to take off their blue tinted specs and grow up. Fatawu is out for the season, his replacements are either MacAteer or BDR lol. We have spunked 70 odd million on nothing that improves the starting 11, the only player that does is on loan from Brighton. The club is mismanaged from top to bottom, no way we survive this year or bounce back next season unless major changes are made in the board room and the coaching staff. Unfortunately, neither will happen soon

[martyn]

His constant criticism of officials is winding me up as well. Absolutely doing it as a cover for his own shortcomings.

The board have to read the room on this soon. We are not in the worst 3-5 teams in this league, but the way cooper sets us up is appalling.  This bullshit tactic of setting us up not to lose has to stop. We are a poor team defensively , but just above average offensively. We are consistently 1-0 or 2-0 down before he puts our best side on the field. I can’t stand it. 
 

2-1 at home to Chelsea to people that have not watched the game looks like we’ve competed and lost a close contests I’d rather lose 3-0 and actually tried to win. That was horrible to watch today. We were competitive for 5-10 minutes at the end of the first half and the last 20 minutes, and can feel hard done by to take nothing from the game. If we actually tried for. 90 minutes, maybe we’d have got something. 
 

the identity under cooper is not Leicester. And I simply can’t get past him being ex forest. Childish maybe, I don’t care. He will steer us in to shallow waters when anyone else could keep us clear.

He did it at Notts Forest as well and it's ended up becoming part of their identity. Victims FC.

Agreed. The ref actually made a few decisions that benefitted us, tbf. Pen was one of the few things that he got wrong.

That's pretty much the opposite of what I said .

 

I think it is the fans duty to support the team on matchday and become the 12th man.  It is the board's job to hire and fire.  If were down to us, Martin O'Neill#s reign wouldn't have lasted very long.

It’s ridiculous.

 

Today we were incredibly lucky to not be down to 9 men and be 4 or 5-0 down but yet he tries to , yet again, create some kind of illusion that we’ve once again been hard done by.

 

We were f*c**ng crap again.

 

Getting sick of Piper now too, sitting on the fence WAY too much.

I get where you are coming from, I think the issue for me with cooper is there is almost no hope, there's nothing to build on to try and get back to that level.

It's just a dead end.

Of course we could sack cooper and bring in someone equally shit, but at least it would signal some positive intent from the board that they are trying....even if they keep messing up 😅
