I hate to say it, but I think we might actually be in a better position with Cooper.

no chance, under Cooper we lose the last 7 (West ham would have walked us, wouldn't have come back v Brighton) and are still persisting with Ward in goal

Don't think cooper or RVN was the answer.

I don’t think many are stupid enough to play Danny against Wolves after the shit show at Newcastle

[Levi Port]

What was the reaction like from the away end after the game ? Seemed loud during the game from my coverage

Against wolves where it was Ward or Iversen and Cooper had chosen Ward repeatedly already? obviously he would have.

[filbertway]

Just seen Mav's absolutely honking miss and he probably should have given away a pen.

Ward on the bench at Newcastle. Daft, but he was a sub. After that performance, he should’ve been shitcanned immediately.

It wasn’t a pen, but very close

[TheGoldenGod]

What's actually going on with our injuries too? Heard nothing about Ricky P for ages, seems like he's been gone for an eternity! The Mads one is just odd, wasn't bad then became worse.

 

Got others dropping like flies too and as we've all said, Fatawu being gone for the season is a cruel cruel blow. He was the spark for us to survive!

he should have gone 2 years ago but you're missing the point completely: there's basically not a manager on the planet who'd, 3 weeks into the job and having lost his first choice keeper, turn to the 4th choice who hadn't kicked a ball in 6 months, rather than his predecessors number 2, and given he was Cooper's number 2, Cooper would obviously have played him and likely would have made the entire post match of wolves about some free kick decision he didn't like before starting Ward again and again.

Vardy is the goat and has legend status rightly so for this club....but it really is painful to see him slowly fading away. Sometimes you should finish whilst you are on top, we are not in a position to carry a player just because he's a legend and may have one flash of brilliance every so often. He doesn't have the legs or the pace and at 38 thats understandable, he offers absolutely nothing in this team the minute. 

Not sure I agree that he offers nothing, but even if I did, the alternative is Pertson Derka..

Ah fair play I only saw the one angle where it looked like he had caught him.  I did think it was weird that VAR didn't give it.

What has everybody got against Iversen!? We’re paying him double what Mads is on! 
 

Also, my point is any manager worth their salt could’ve seen how badly Danny crumbled and have a bit of a rethink.

read again: Iversen has not played in six months and was the previous managers (and if we're honest Enzo too given the two keeper benches) 4th choice. He was not getting picked by any manager ahead of Ward. And again, since you seem to be unable to pay attention to the actual discussion: COOPER. WAS. PICKING. WARD. AS. HIS. SECOND. CHOICE. SO. WOULD. HAVE. PLAYED. HIM. IF. MADS. WAS. INJURED.

Really makes you appreciate that 1-4 performance a few years ago under Brenda

At least it was an enjoyable game. I honestly think our most memorable moment this season will be a 98th minute winner against ten men who are part of the worst team in this division for 15 years.

are we not talking about the one in December 2019? absolutely trounced them, looked like we were actually in a title race with Man City and Liverpool then bottled it v Norwich at home, got battered by Liverpool on boxing day and never recovered 

[CrazyKopCorner]

A really insipid performance today. 

 

They were there for the taking and we showed absolutely sod all. 

 

James Justin needs to be rested for the rest of the season. 

 

 

[Filbertblue]

Very disappointing result but 3 good performances against 3 champions league teams. I think if we get points against bottom half of the league teams we'll survive.

He's our best defender by a country mile - the rest are a shambles (although to be fair I thought Luke Thomas stuck to his task pretty manfully today).
