It's going to be slightly depressing when he retires, won't it..

His Psycho Mrs spending and court cases has probably kept him going a few more seasons than planned

OMFG at the time of posting 29 people have voted No.

 

This club and its supporters. No ****ing hope. 

 

KP FC all the way baby.

We were defending deep, when we do rarely get the ball we need to use it wisely. Why the hell was Vesty not even in the squad?

Time to go I'm afraid. 

 

Was chatting to some LCFC employees pre game today who said there are strong rumours abound that we are actively chasing Ruud Van Nistelroy.

 

Time will tell I guess but I'd take him in a heartbeat. 

 

 

Another massive mistake ... if they do ... and another contract pay off in the summer .... Pearson until the summer with a 1 year option ... we need better players ... young and hungry ones

Cooper was the massive mistake 

 

So it's too late to worry about mistakes

He may be 38 soon , but he's still a proven goalscorer. Today we didn't create a single chance for him. 

 

We could have Haaland up top and Cooperball still wouldn't create a chance for him.

 

I expect us to be better than we are

I'm definitely not arguing with you there. The team selections don't suit the style of play. Subs are late, and often bizarre. We don't play to our strengths. It feels like it's not working. We could be better, no question.

 

But I disagree strongly with the idea that 'Enzoball' would have worked at this level with these players, and the degree to which some people expected us to dazzle the league with our purists' football muddied the debate about Cooper a bit. The real question with him was whether or not he could work with limited resources, and craft an organised, direct, physical and 'pragmatic' side who everyone hated playing against.

 

The jury was still out a month ago, but it's beginning to look like he's not going to make us that hard-to-beat side. I agree that someone else might do a better job of that, but I doubt very much that anyone who comes in and wins plaudits for his dedication to good football will actually get results. Because, simply put, I don't think the squad is up to much.

 

Most of these players got relegated the last time they were in this league. More of them weren't even on promotion form in a lower league in the second half of last season.

 

But yes, absolutely. A good manager with a 'results-based' philosophy might do better. Especially if there's some rejigging behind-the-scenes which ensures that recruitment does more to address the manager's needs. I'm not sure we did that in the summer, even with a limited budget.

I've said before Cooper has to go ,I can't see Top sacking him ,so Cooper should do the right thing and resign ,but we all know he isn't going to do that ,

Honestly he hasn’t got a clue.

 

Why on earth leave out our best low-mid block centre half when evidently planning on playing SO defensively and deep?!

I’m going to be completely honest and admit that I voted to keep and I still am not 100% in the out camp yet but will be if we don’t get at least 4 points out the next 2 games.

I fully agree that our performances this season have been hit and miss but I generally didn’t think we’d stay up this season and am surprised there is such a large amount of our fan base who think we are a decent side who can stay up.

 

The majority of our squad are not good enough at this level. This is not Coopers fault. No matter who we have in charge we generally are not good enough to compete IMO.

 

Our defence is terrible. Our midfield are not attack minded and we have a 37 year old leading the line on his own.

Apart from Mads and Buonanotte (who isn’t even our player) we have no Prem talent. Vardy is exempt as it’s clear he’s not the player he once was and should really be thinking it is close to calling it a day.
The whole ‘look what Enzo achieved with the same players’ is not a valid debate as the championship is dire. We should have walked that league and did. Even Southampton and Ipswich proved its miles apart in standard from the Prem.

 

No matter what manager is in charge we will not be a decent side unless we get a complete overhaul of the board and squad which isn’t going to happen.

 

I’ll give him two more games and if we don’t get at least 4 points. He needs to go to see if anyone else can get something out of the squad. We just need to be less shit than 3 other teams. Unfortunately I don’t think we will be.

I agree mostly, and was thinking we might somehow find ourselves with some points from this game and the next two. I’m now not sure we will find a way to get points in the next couple of games and that’s when we will find ourselves in a hard to escape quagmire. So I changed my mind and would some change please.

I'd say there's less than a 10% chance we get 7 points from the next 5

 

Brentford (a) - L

West Ham (H) - D if we are lucky 

Brighton (H) - L

Newcastle (A) - L

Wolves (H) - D or W

 

So that's 4 points if we beat Wolves or max 6 points if we beat both Wolves and West Ham. No way we get any points from the others. 

If we get a run of luck we could get some points and stay in a healthy league position… But there hasn’t been much sign of luck in the last few games, never mind tactical nous.

could more games? surely there is enough evidence from the 14 games we've had under him this season that hes really not good enough

 

the way we've played i cant see us with 7 points from them, not a chance in hell, we was mighty look to get 2 wins in a row against Bournemouth and Southampton

we've been woeful this season, the performances, stats etc they all prove it

Yes! Luck! We need luck! Every Leicester City fan is obliged to turn up to all games wearing an Ipswich 2023/24 match worn top, shorts or other kit so we can suck any remaining last minute luck out of them.

I do like Steve Cooper but I have come to the decision as a result of our performances over the last 4 matches that he is not the right man for us. He is the sort of bloke you want coaching your under 18s or 21s not first team!
 

He is not a leader and doesn’t inspire the team. A good example is how at last chance saloon the players took two quick free kicks in a state of panic rather than looking to the sidelines for inspiration where a good manager will be shouting instructions. No plan!

 

We are too passive and beige plus I feel that in the final third we aren’t creating enough opportunities as the belief is/has drained away. Plus the best chances always seem to fall to Ndidi. Fair play to him for being in those positions but do we want a more capable player in there and Nidid further back!

But…. I’d disagree that based on statistical evidence in the back of the net, Ndidi could be seen to have been deserving of a decent run in that position. Maybe it’s time to drop him to allow Nidid into the starting 11 further back ;-)

Yes, it’s so frustrating when people talk about how well we did last season. If we take the evidence of last season as our form guide for this, then we will have a horrible run of form near the end of the season, only without a big points cushion to protect us this time. Le sigh.

I never wanted him. I foresaw everything that has happened but it doesn't matter what the fans think, the board will be satisfied.

If you think he was anything but their last resort then I pity you.

Could be 40 thousand people the club do not care. They want Cooper for the championship.

Everyone getting worked up for our failings this season are wasting their time.

Why is poor management and ownership tolerated and accepted these days by our supporters, I remember my early days at filbert street when the whole ground where shouting pleat out, shipman out. Where has that mentally gone?

[Gubbins]

Should probably get rid but Cooper is a symptom not the cause and i dont think itl make a great deal of difference. Keeping Rodgers at least 6 months too long was the killer. History is repeating slightly out of order. Rodgers is Taylor, Maresca is Adam's, Cooper is Bassett and we are heading straight for a long inglorious spell in the lower leagues.

The Championship is one of the hardest divisions to get out of in the world. Many big clubs spend decades trying to get out. Bouncing straight back up for a first managerial appointment, with a mismatched squad that was not bought to play your style, is some achievement and shouldn’t be played down.

 

Enzo is 100x the manager Cooper is.
