Best first half iv seen us play vs the worst 2nd half. 

 

Need to wake up for next week. Absolute doggo second half .. too easily worked out 

That was the best first half? Cor

We had about 3 attacks worth getting excited about

[TeamRocket]

Makes you wonder who played in Saturday and who played on Monday. 

[foxfanazer]

We must have the most brain dead bunch of players in the league bar none.

Because you can play football in hindsight?

Did you mean to quote me because what you’ve said bears no relevance to what I’ve said

Rubbish

 

Cooper can't do much about daft unforced errors

Their manager shutdown what we were doing well first half and ours is stood clueless on the touchline with zero clue what to do watching us do the dame thing over and over and over again

 

[Tielemans63]

I'm done with this. Night all

It’s the tactics and organisation, not the individual players being selected 

Utter rubbish Nuno isnt a genius, you concede 3 Sunday league goals and you could have Pep in the dugout it wouldn't make a difference.

[TheUltimateWinner]

Send Soumare off that’d be hilarious 

[Mike1983]

These are a good side tbf.

[Guest]

This second half and in particular the complete lack of any positive response after conceding is enormously concerning given one of Cooper's apparent plus points is that he's instilled fight in the team and we're always in games. It could quite easily have been twice as bad and we could have had absolutely no complaints.

[Stopharage]

Any chance Pawson could send Soumare off for us? 

[Electric Yetis]

Disgusting performance. Get him gone as soon as possible.

Coopers a proper rotter

 

Buanonnanotte, Winks and Wilf can walk off the pitch with their heads held high

 

Weve been proper stifled by this awful system

I'm sorry but it was Winks brain fart moment that put us in this mess with a minute gone in the second half. Poor. 

[An Away Move]

At least Cooper looks like he’s hurting.

Our fullbacks are shit, thats the problem.

No composure at CB

 

No defensive cover at all from midfield

 

No creativity for central midfield

 

Lazy wingers

 

Lack of movement up front 

 

It's everything (except Mads) 

 

We are worse than we were last year. Worse squad against far, far better opposition. Worse manager too. 

 

The only thing I think is massively overstated on this forum is criticism of the full backs. Mistakes have been bad but every game both full backs are completely exposed with no cover from midfield or the wings. Ultimately just doesn't look like a team.

 

The issues were known before a ball was kicked this year though. Poor recruitment etc.

 

 

[lcfcdamo]

Come on anyone seen a worse second half than that 🤢🤮🤮🤮

Yeah we don't have any canny or clever outfield players bar maybe Winks

[foxfanazer]

They can enjoy the result but unless they're at least 45 years old they can't flex on us

[mozartfox]

Ok- I have seen enough, new manager and new DoF please Top.

So what’s a managers job?

is it not to get the best out of the squad at your disposal.

if they all look shit all of a sudden is that every players fault 

It’s the managers fault. Of course it is. But the plaudits at the tactical change at the start was ridiculous, off the chart, and  it was always going to be risky, but nothing but praise. So we have zero culpability? In judgement, not in picking the tactics.very disingenuous.

All 3 goals I'd be pissed off with if a team I played for conceded in a Sunday league game never mind the premiership, you can't put those mistakes on coaching surely???

we make these mistakes every single week is the issue. we've been no worse defensively than we were v Spurs or Villa, they've just finished the chances. that we give up that level of chance every single week is entirely on the bloke who's sole achievement in management is working for a match fixing heroin dealer

[lookwhaticando]

How are we managing to look this crap?

[Babylon]

Hard one to unpack really, I thought we were fine really, but an accumulation of woeful mistakes saw us 2-1 down and we just seem to implode from there and not recover. No doubt we’ve been shit second half, but if we’ve not made those terrible mistakes I don’t know if we would have been.

 

They’ve been great defensively, really well organised and we’ve struggled to get a sniff this half.

[Cadno'r Cymoedd]

Hopefully this will disabuse many of the idea that we are a mid table squad. Forest are, we aren't.

Nuno isn’t a genius no but he’s a damn sight better than this Plonker
