Difference is he has put millions in to forest

That’s my point. I think it is disastrous if we get rid of cooper, but from EMs perspective, he has backed us to the hilt and it hasn’t paid off this season

And the boys sing on, making more noise than the perfect teeth, flat cap wearing, phone holding home fans.

You deserve far more

 

[Cloughie1975]

The recruitment team need to take their share of the blame for this shitshow.

Has Aina got a bet on 4-0 tonight? Doing his best to give them the ball
Shocking!

Aina has been turgid these past few games I really miss Lodi.

Willian thanking his lucky stars that his agent didn't talk him into choosing Forest.

Whilst we may be weaker than last season, we are not weaker than some of those teams getting better results.

We have shown that two at the back doesn’t work and we have stuck with it. We stuck with Wood.

It’s Groundhog Day.

I love Cooper…but how long do we keep making the same mistakes. Game after game.

We are dogshit right now.

Do we stick with Cooper and hope all the excuses are right? That everything else is at fault but him?

On current form…just 7 points from 11 games, we are going down. It’s probably 18th, as Burnley and Sheffield United are worse, but we are heading one way.

 

[Lord Wazzock]

Pretty surprised that’s not a foul… you can see him put a decent amount of force into pushing Aina over. Aina needs to be stronger but it’s still a foul.

If that happens at the other end of the pitch, a penalty would probably be given.

 

[rockhopper]

Sacking him is pointless though because we have so many glaring holes in the squad that there won't be many managers who could to a better job, so why not stick with the guy who got us up and kept us up last season.

If Marinakis chooses to sack him this time he had better find a better replacement otherwise we will be going down.

That would appear to be the case looking at this shower on the pitch but a change has brought about an upturn in the past, it's a gamble but looks like it needs to happen

Again - who's better though?

No one available who’s better for me but it’s the PL gamble.

The only other option is EM gives Cooper another contact to show the players he’s staying but I can’t see it this time.

I reckon he's already been sounding out names. He'd be a fool not to have some sort of plan lined up.

Harry Wilson scoring will just top the night off. I’m sticking a tenner on it.

 

[Statto]

f*** you Harry Wilson

That smunt scoring is the only thing which hasn't happened and which would make tonight even more shite

 

[Shearstone]

Difference is he has put millions in to forest

And wasted most of it

 

[apondaway]

The absolute best part of this Forest side is their ability to pass backwards.

 

[rockhopper]

Theres lots of quality coaches in Europe, getting them to come and being a good fit is the tricky part

This is a horrible performance from Forest, no fight, no effort and we are second to every ball.
I think Steve will be gone tomorrow, it’s the way the modern game works I am afraid.

You are right though who’d be an owner. Like who wouldn’t come to the conclusion these pat 5 games that we are heading for relegation. So than what the feck do you do! Cause you have loyalty to cooper and he did achieve the astonishing so there’s something there however there is a huge change we are going down. I don’t know what the feck to do.

 

[andyjm1983]

Seeing why elanga and CHO were so cheap

 

[congo_red_49]

I’m starting to reevaluate the quality of the squad here. I don’t think it’s much better than last season.

I’m convinced it’s worse. I haven’t seen anything from the new arrivals to convince me otherwise. They all look unsuitable for the Premier League.

 

[incapable hulk]

Omar?

 

[andyjm1983]

Umm thing is it's his money

 

[Statto]

Probably but will he be better? Arguably SC was the only managerial appointment EM made which was a good one, though most were an improvement on the previous one.

And we are going to need significant improvement to be able to progress over the next few years more than Cooper is.

 

[magicwoand]

I wish Tottenham hadn't got Postecoglou in the summer and we could have poached him from Celtic.

 

[Quntib Hollox]

Feel for the away supporters who have done their best to get them going. Time to let the players know this is unacceptable
