Sly Posted 25 October 2024 Author Posted 25 October 2024 Tonight’s loss against Forest is on the players as much as Cooper. However they aren’t moving, running etc to generate space and chances. That’s on Cooper to sort and if (we know he’s not) up to it, then he needs replacing by someone that can. The managers that have kept less teams in this league, have got players to run through walls for them. Cooper isn’t that manager. 3
ACF Posted 25 October 2024 Posted 25 October 2024 In defence of Cooper, I actually thought our first half was pretty good, think we caught Forest by surprise with our set up. Also, two major mistakes in defence, complete coach killers. He can’t do much about those errors. I think Woods first was just excellent centre forward play. But second half Forest adjusted, and his response was more attacking midfielders, and removing Ricardo who was freeing Winks up no end. The worrying part is players look like they don’t know where the goals are going to come from, and lack of coherent style of play. Our goal was players reverting to last seasons play and it flippin worked. That’s the indictment on Coops. Throwing on BEK, Soumare, Ayew, with Fatawu, Facundo and Vards was just throwing shit at a wall to see what stuck. 2
Wink84 Posted 25 October 2024 Posted 25 October 2024 All the goals are down to players mistakes today. Can't blame Cooper for that. I don't like him though. 2

Cadno'r Cymoedd Posted 25 October 2024 Posted 25 October 2024 Cue the Cooper haters when nearly every player in that second half was complete garbage. 3 goals from brainfarts. 2
Popular Post Will1981 Posted 25 October 2024 Popular Post Posted 25 October 2024 players let him down 2nd half crap performance, he picked the team everyone has been crying out for with Enzo's tactics and it did not work. 6

But he's clearly been outdone at ht by NES. If we'd lost that 3-1 but created a fair few chances and played ok 2nd half then yeah the blame lies fully with the players. That 2nd half performance was an abomination and that is on both Cooper and the players. 1
Micky Posted 25 October 2024 Posted 25 October 2024 You can only work with what you've got. Our defence is just not good enough.

The effort of moving is on the players, the direction they move is mostly on the manager. 1 1
jbflcfc Posted 25 October 2024 Posted 25 October 2024 Bunch of bed wetters pissing the bed again because we lost. 3 stupid mistakes cost them goals, you got the team you wanted right? 3 1
CloudFox Posted 25 October 2024 Posted 25 October 2024 I am fully Cooper Out, but that was primarily on the players tonight. Piss poor defending. 1

Samilktray Posted 25 October 2024 Posted 25 October 2024 Stick him on the bus back with his beloved forest is what I say!
The Doctor Posted 25 October 2024 Posted 25 October 2024 can't coach a team for shit. performance was no worse than any other performance we've put out this season, but his luck has run out. Bite the bullet, get this Pontypridd Pulis out and get in a manager worthy of the job title 2
Wymsey Posted 25 October 2024 Posted 25 October 2024 He's still, currently, achieving the club's main aim - survival. Whether tonight was appointing or not.
SafewayFox Posted 25 October 2024 Posted 25 October 2024 So the turnaround against Southampton means that the players haven’t turned on Cooper? Does that mean tonight’s lack of anything suggests they’re either 1) a bit shit 2) the media rumours earlier in the season are true and not having him or 3) bit of both. 1

Guest Posted 25 October 2024 Posted 25 October 2024 The bit I don't get - if you think the squad is shit then fine but surely in that case you would be even more keen to have a manager capable of elevating them above that level? The argument seems to be the players aren't good enough to stay in the league on their own merit so we might as well stick with our crap manager and make it even less likely. 2

Of course individual errors are not on the manager, I'm talking about the general tactical play when i refer to the direction they move, we were gutless upfront, and often positioned poorly when being attacked, that is on cooper. The individual mistakes were not on him. 1
