Left when they put up the board for 7 minutes injury time or whatever it was.

Truely disgusted by the ineptitude of this manager.

Stood in his dugout like a clown and no one to even discuss options with.

As much attacking flair as a sunday league pub team still p1ssed up.

Stupid fault AGAIN with a bouncing ball not being dealt with, what the fevk is he doing in training.

No leaders on the pitch, none in the management  team and obviously  none in control of the club.

I would rather lose if we give it a go  or if the opposition were great.

United were crap but we were crapper.

Only the social side of today made it a good day, the football can get ****ed and any clownmpaying over £50 for a general sale ticket for West Ham or any other team needs shooting 

 

Get this clown out, and before anyway says it was Man Utd away what did you expect- fvck off, they were there for the taking if we had a manager with anything about him, man u are nothing atm.

Cooper out🤬

Agree with this so much, usually I would say we stay till the bitter end but when at the top the club aren’t showing any real ambition, got no plan in place to move the club forward then yeah I don’t blame you for leaving. I switched off after the second goal went in, it is rare I do that

Watching the goals back, just completely disorganised - the second is startlingly similar to the first. 
 

Their midfield had far too much space because we were too deep and too flat. Hard to access the opposition players and pressure them if one backward pass takes 2 or 3 players out the game.

 

It was Forest where I noticed we were abysmal in defensive transitions but the third is just crap. It was a bit of a problem with Enzo but that’s the trade off from the 3241 in possession. 
 

We’re even more vulnerable from what should in third be more solid. All against a pretty crap United 

[reynard]

 Got the break to work with the players that are with us and do some extra work off the pitch and get ready for when we return. Won’t be any days off for the staff."

This is all starting to sound like Micky Adams. Well we will get back on the training pitch and the lads will work hard. Blah blah blah.

 

Very glad I couldn't watch today as it sounds like a total pile of ****.

[Vowels]

Redouble the efforts smashing bunch of lads.

 

Micky Adams re-doubled the training efforts so many consecutive weeks they were actually training at 8,840x intensity at one point.

 

 

[fox_favourite]

When the players came out, the didn't look enthusiastic at all. They all looked like the didn't really want to be there at the start. Body language didn't fill me with confidence even before the ball is kicked. Our club is a mess 

[FLAN]

Is Harry Winks ok?  The result didn’t reflect the match/performance 

[steveb]

i just watched the Cooper interview, he`s a bumbling idiot.

We didn`t defend and we didn`t attack, thats why we lost, Dohhhh

ffs

[jbflcfc]

What annoys me the most is that I watch most teams in the prem on the counter & they ALWAYS have options around them.

 

From watching us today, we don’t seem to have that, or we don’t have anyone good enough to play those killer passes in between the lines.

 

Fatawu was the only bright spark today, but he looks up & no one is there around him, we’ve lost all sense of attacking threat.

[East Langton Fox]

Steve Coopers post match comments are very different to Matt Piper on Radio Leicester. Were they at the same game?

[PhillippaT]

I'm not very well today, so missed the match.  Sounds like I got the better side of that exchange  /s

You lucky bastard I’m now having to take a couple of days off to get my head right after watching that garbage… I lost too many brain cells 

[Gamble92]

The tossers behind me turning on each other earlier were an embarrassment. Little kid with him and he was that off his tits that all he was bothered about was starting on an old man behind him. Kid walked off in tears and he acted as if it was all the fault of the people behind.

 

You could maybe excuse it a bit for younger lads but 40+ year old men getting that off their faces and starting fights?

 

Not the first time I've seen it with our fans either. I don't get what's going on at the minute. 

[HibiscusMark]

I saw the team announcement and immediately saw us “sitting back, creating nothing, conceding”.  United struggle when put under pressure and we weren’t set up to do that.  If you give the likes of Fernandez and Garnacho time and space to shoot, they’ll eventually score. First time I’ve been negative about this team and manager.   Disappointing.

[waddadamadda]

Stating the obvious here but the need for an actual proven goal scorer who can play with or without JV is surely a priority?!!

 

I have said for a while and others may not agree however I honestly feel that we are one maybe two players from being a capable side.

[Getin]

Never has a team in recent memory performed so far from the ethos of ‘foxes never quit’. After 10 minutes they capitulated to being mauled by a three legged tiger that couldn’t believe its luck.

Twice in the last 3 we’ve just gave up second half. 

That stops the “players are playing for Cooper” nonsense that was being spouted earlier in the season.

 

 

[Gamble92]

I like Ayew a lot but nothing about him is a lone striker. He'd have been fine as a 10 today but not a main man. The amount of times Fatawu or Buano would get past a few players and look up and have nothing to aim at. 

 

Then for us to be happy to play that way until 70 ****ing minutes gone. It really is astonishing. 

 

And why would you make subs and then a sub again on 85 unless you were defending a lead and wanting to kill time? You'd just make the ****ing subs you need to on 65-70 and have a go! It just looks absolutely desperate and clueless

 

Tried my absolute best with Cooper but it's hard for anyone to make a case for him now. I went today still expecting something from us because I always do, but for it to just play out exactly as we all feared again is absolutely ****ing demoralising.

Let’s face it , when you go from a lovely setup under someone like Enzo, then have to put up with Cooper I can understand the players being confused. I don’t blame the board for letting Enzo go it was inevitable but the replacement had to be right and Cooper isn’t the manager I expected.

He's full of shit and sounds like a broken man to me. I think he knows his time is up soon.

 

I don't think he's capable of motivating this team or turning it around.

 

He's out of his depth and most of us knew that when he was appointed.

[splinterdream]

what i dont understand is why he doesn't use more of his bench, get 4 players on at 60 if we're 2 nil down. could have gone stephy, kacey, bilal and skipp. facundo seems to burn out second half, and why is winks taking the set pieces, hes garbage

We are a decent manager away from being a capable side. Granted we need to improve the squad in certain areas, especially the defence but even if we signed 2 or 3 good players in Jan, if Coopers still here, it won't make a shite of difference 

[cropstonfox]

Good words.

That three legged tiger can be a bastard though!

Adams had earnt the credit after getting us promoted and he admirably walked when things weren't going well. I think Micky Adams doesn't get the respect her deserves....although thinking back to the catastrophic performances at Wolves and Middlesbrough, maybe my opinion is somewhat clouded!! 🤣

See I agree with this, I think we have underachieved so far under Cooper, we have some exciting players and it wouldn’t take much to make us a good established PL team again
