Cooper - OUT

Exactly the same teams apart from Southampton and Leeds. We beat Southampton twice, so that doesn't explain the points difference 

 

Teams strengthen. Ipswich came up from League 1 and performed well. Hull were heavily backed with a number of Premier League loanees. West Brom settled and Norwich improved (to the point their best player is now playing in the Champions League). Wednesday become mid-through the season a really interesting tactically clever team. 

 

4 teams last season achieved the average for automatic promotion.

Plymouth who just avoided relegation beat the league leaders, as did Milwall  . Could be argued that the also rans were stronger. We can argue all sorts of silly things to prove our points. Fact is they did better than us.

Exactly that means the Championship in 23/24 was stronger.

Win tonight to cement his legend status - statue on New Walk before Christmas

Or our team was weaker? We'll have to agree to disagree.

And yet they won the Championship by quite a few more points than us. 

Did they have better players than us or is Kompany a better manager than Enzo?

Or less competitive league the season we were in it you had 4 teams that were too good for the championship whith 3 finishing on more than 90 points. In there season there were not as many competitive teams in the league. And they got 4 more points that really isnt quite a few more it's not really enough to say anything

A lot of what he does winds me up, but whilst the points are coming he stays in the job. There won’t be much credit in the bank when a bad run comes though. 
 

We need to be walking out of Forest and Ipswich with a bare minimum of 3 (preferably 4 points) to go into the tough run of games after. 

Absolutely nail on head for me

My main takeaway from this is being annoyed at how we almost let the title slip. The poor run in Feb and March could have been costly in the end. Brendan bottling top-four levels of embarassing.

 

Easy to retroactively say Enzo's style was better / more cultured or whatever, but those 3 back to back losses to M'boro, Leeds and QPR in particular were chastening. 1/6 against Hull and Bristol City not long after didn't help either.

 

Doesn't matter in the end and the final points total is all that counts, but we clearly had the same soft underbelly and ability to embarrass ourselves under Enzo as Southampton do under Brussel.

Just to be clear I didn't believe Enzo was perfect I'm sure if you look you will find me complaining plenty about how he was over stubborn.

 

However I didn't want him to leave appreciated that it was fairly early in his managerial career and thought that he would have us doing well (solid mid table) in the prem. 

 

At the very least he had a plan and the players knew what they were doing which Cooper clearly dosen't

I’m going to be cheeky and say that I thought xG was discarded by those defending Cooper earlier in the season 😘

I'm not defending him - I'm just discarding the whole notion of 'planning to win via fluke'.

Mourinho angling for the job! 😂. Says he wants to manage a bottom-end-of-EPL team 🥴🥴

Just note that for all the talk of 'wheels coming off' at the time, had all the games been played simultaneously, we were never not top after going top towards the start of the season...

Proper good toys out of the pram comment as it doesn't really make any logical sense either. Budgets are so big even in the bottom half of the premier league that surely Jose would back himself to get his side to challenge for Europe...so would he just quit at the end of the season?

[ARM1968]

You’d have to take Jose for sure. Cooper just isn’t the man. Cracks have been papered over, just, but tonight might be quite illuminating. 

[Sly]

I could see Jose here in two years time. 

[JimJams]

After Cooper goes to Chelsea?

Or individual errors from our bang average players. 
 

Ricardo and Fatawu have been WOEFUL 

[st albans fox]

Fair to say that we won’t see this enzo formation again this season

would think the players have been asking to play this way and cooper possibly allowed it on the basis that we’ve won two 

 

the consequences may not be down to the formation but no one can argue a negative

The team's defending has been pathetic all game. The mistakes have been the tip of the shitberg 

[Samilktray]

As a football club we need to have more respect for ourselves, Forest fans chanting in unison for our manager as they humiliate us further, just makes me cross and sick.
 

Get rid of him. 

[sharpylcfc]

Cooper out. This is embarrassing.
