Yes, I think the loanees are done. Worrall and McKenna probably off. Hopefully we can find homes for some of our dodgy keepers and bring a decent one in.

I'd be happy with just a decent keeper and striker in January. That should hopefully be enough to turn things around.

Ok, but you’ve carefully selected four of the worst performers there, rather than say Murillo, Danilo, Awoniyi and Gibbs-White

Those performers are the ones costing us games, which is why I mentioned them. Dodgy keepers and ineffective strikers are a massive handicap at any level) And as much as I like those four you mention, I don't think any of them bar a fully fit Awoniyi get in that Wolves squad (though Murillo and Danilo aren't the finished article yet).

It would have been enough for Cooper.

Not sure now though. Nuno's poor record at Spurs with such a quality squad, and the fact that he got promoted with a much better squad than we had, suggests he may need a better caliber of player than Cooper all round.

We'll see though.

That's how I feel. Its hard to read anything into his time at Wolves because the circumstances during his time there were so incredibly different to what he is walking into at Forest.

Cooper would comfortably keep us up with a decent keeper and striker. Hopefully Nuno can do that too (provided that the recruitment team do their job properly this time!).

Once thing is for sure, we will continue to lose games with Turner/Vlachula in goal and Wood/Origi upfront, no matter who the manager is.

I would read more into his time at Wolves more than Spurs personally.

Completely agree. The major weaknesses are at both ends of the pitch and that needs addressing promptly.

For any midtable Premier League side, Turner and Vlach are backup goalkeepers but they're both competing for the number 1 position at Forest. Hope to be proven wrong with that opinion. Whatever the case, they're too evenly matched in quality which never works. You need a clear and solid number 1 and backup. This is where I agree with Gary Neville.

Then we've got the perennial supersub Origi and Chris Wood, who's style would probably suit Luton more than us. It doesn't work with a counter attacking style where you need pace and strength on the break, which is what Awoniyi brings us. He drops deep and can dribble past players and shrug them off. He changes a game because he's a huge difference between a devastating counter and an impotent one.

I know he's not pulled up any trees since, but I'd much rather we had signed Keinan Davis. He did the Awoniyi job in the Championship. Maybe we could have reignited his career with a Cooper and former teammates reunion......

Keinan suited us far better than the others we signed (besides Taiwo) following promotion. Its such a shame he can't stay fit. If there is a Keinan Davis type player out there but minus the injury issues that would be ideal.

Assuming he is our manager tomorrow, here is a clip from Ben Foster's podcast featuring Connor Coady:

Speaks well of him, he is a pretty good manager. I will not fully blame him for his time at spurs but f*** me that's a clownshow club at times.

Wolves fans love the bloke and a lot would have liked him back and are gutted he's coming to us.

Managing every club is different and we'll see how it transpires here, for sure it'll be a difficult start with the way the team have been performing and following on from the adoration coops had.
