I've defended Cooper and given him the benefit of the doubt but i cannot fathom what he was trying to do tonight:
- Played all the internationals including 2 who'd picked up knocks (Hourihane aside).
- Under what circumstance would Hourihane have come off the bench? If we'd gone 1 down earlier!?
- played basically the same style and team that's been poor for a while and lost the last two games.
- Whittaker who's looked our most likely scorer recently left out.
- Cabango who kept Hirving Lozano quiet last Saturday and hasn't been part of the last 2 losses left out again. He's also a goal threat from set pieces which have been obviously lacking recently.
- a point tonight would have been no help to us anyway, why not roll the dice and bringing more attacking players far earlier? |  |

I keep banging on but without Cabango we have no physical threat from corner, long throws or free kicks into the box.
Cooper has had us playing hoofball all season tonight it was aimless hoofball. |  |

'pissed all over'
How many clear cut chances did they actually have against Wales's second string?
Not a great deal. | |

There's no excuse for that anymore. That's been tried many times previously and never worked unless we've been gifted a late penalty. | |

I think you've got it bang on, Chief.
I think the next game is Coopers last chance saloon. | |

But there will be excuses from yourself Chief, over and over again.

Only if i think they're valid excuses.
As above, i have no idea what was going through his mind last night. As much as I'd want to back the manager, whom under we reached the play offs last season&have been challenging for promotion this season, i can't make a case for him in relation to last night's match. | |

Fair response, but in my opinion there have been too many games where he has been hard to defend. His game managent has been consistently suspect, the worrying aspect for me is he doesn't seem to be learning. He is either naive or spectacularly stubborn. |  | | |

Yea but with our lofty league position and winning games he has to be given the benefit of the doubt. Especially under the circumstances where oyr budget is low and the lack of viable alternatives. | |

Cooper has woon the U17 World cup and that for him is vindication of his methods. It is of course nothing of the sort. Many very underage coaches have flopped spectacularly like the fellow Warnock humiliated at Wigan. Joyce?
To Coopers credit he has proved his credentials to a point where he can produce strong defensive steam and win games with his exceptional u17 contact books to draw in the likes of Brewster Gallagher and Gibbs White.
However his "we have our methods and they wil not change" will not do. He has to change and accept outside advice and assistance from Scott, his other contacts and the owners. He like the players have to improve. |  |

I agree with what you are saying in principle but his reputation has all been about results, once the results desert you, what is left. | | | |

Yes i agree, but while we're in the play off positions there is still a chance of success | |

I'd still rather stick personally, at least for now.
No guarantee anyone else would try and play good football with this squad either, let alone have you so high in the table. | |

Can we nail a couple of things down here.
#1. We're not working on a tight budget. Low compared to the recently relegated teams, high compared to others without a parachute payment. Certainly it's comparable to where we stood in relation to other teams the last time we went up. Our budget was miniscule compared to most in the Prem, yet we survived and often thrived there for seven years.
#2. If Mark Gower was capable of playing attractive football in a promotion winning side, there's not a single member of the current squad who isn't given adequate coaching.
The budget and the squad are not the problem. Never have been. |  |

I think saying low budget is wrong in the current circumstances. This pandemic has actually helped us. Other clubs have huge debt and are struggling whereas we are financially secure. Hardly any money has been spent AND look at this list, look at the clubs who sold,

We haven't made the most profit but the top 4 profit makers are very interesting. Unfortunately I can't find up to date wage league tables. | |
