Notts Forest (H) Friday 25th October 8pm

[FosseSpark]

for forest. Cooper needs to admit defeat and allow Ricardo on the pitch and then for him to join the midfield when we are in possession

 

Hermansen

Faes Okoli Kristiansen

Ricardo Winks

Fatawu Ndidi Buona Mavi

Vardy

One million per cent agree

This game will determine where Cooper's allegiance truly lies.

In before Cooper decides to rest Mads, starts Ward, and throws in Thomas and Soumare

Against ten men

Fraser was sent off at 73 minutes, we made the change at 60. So we got the two goals whilst both teams were even, more or less. 
 

Playing 2 fullbacks on paper seems stronger defensively, but the way Cooper plays, it isn’t. In fact I’d argue it’s even more susceptible on transition because the raiding full back will be up too high and lead to the frequent 2v1s that JJ has to face. So we end up with a weaker attack and a weaker defence. 
 

If we played more of a traditional 4231 like Puel or Rodgers in his second full season then I’d buy the better defensive stability argument. In fact there’s a lot of good arguments for going that way; Everton are churning out results playing that way. If that’s the suggestion for the system to play, it’s a good discussion to have. 
 

The reality is that Cooper has tried to replicate Enzo’s system but didn’t understand how it worked. And that’s why it hasn’t worked all season long. Enzo’s system also had flaws but it was proven today that it’s way better than Cooper’s system.

That's a bit of a coincidence cause I would give your left bollock for a win as well.

Nailed in woods to score 

 

I believe we’re in for a cracker of a game , 2 wins on the bounce , we shouldn’t be worried about these , ain’t nowt special 

They don't have a player called Woods so highly unlikely.

Indeed it would be ironic if Wood would score against us, but even more startling if Woods would

We got a spawny pen. Then they went to 10.

 

It wasnt the system. It was Fatawu that made the difference,  he terrified them and changed the game. Sometimes its not all about tactics. Doesn't make for a massive long post and video then though admittedly

im unsure about winks, ndidi and skipp. Was it skipps fault we had a poor first half today? when we last dropped skipp, our energy dropped. i think winks needed dropping but we're looking at him coming on today and the game changed, was he the difference? i've just thought that our style of play hasnt suites winks this season, and we should be looking at enzos system with ricardo for some games, because that suites both winks and ricardo, but for games we need to dig in, skipp

It's clear in this thread that people can't see the Woods for the Trees.

Real opportunity for some mega “scenes nobody wants to see here”

 

Not just talking about Coopers face
