Won't take him long to grow tired of the constant inane and dull questioning from the 2 Qpr media interviewers. Poor bloke.
Seems like a nice young man and comes across well. Let's hope he keeps improving and getting more starts. I thought he had a good game yesterday on what was his full debut.
Remember where Forest were when Cooper took over, yes they then brought in a ton of players in January, but it can be done with the right manager and backing. Hopefully we have finally found the right manager, but will the board give him the backing he needs ? FFP might restrict it, but we have to give him some players we desperately need. One can only hope
There's the stark reality kicking in. However, it's only about being better than three others. I suppose that still might be a step too far. Really hope not.
Looking forward to seeing another small improvement when we take on Bristol; then we have a two week gap where MC can get down to ingraining his theories and tactics into the whole squad. Norwich will be an intriguing game to see how far the squad are going to take on the club and managers direction. Because I see no sense in changing the manager this time round - we need the right players for his way forward. Players need to get on the bus 100% or ask to get off and take their career elsewhere. 19 games between now an end of Feb are all games we shouldn’t be too worried about. The 5 games (3 at home) in March could be tough though - so we need points in the bag. Whatever confidence we have faces a mixed bag of 6 games in April, not easy. Don’t want a stay-up situation at Cov on the last day. Well organised. 100% effort and passion. Do what the manager expects. That’s all we ask. We could do it. This league is as mad as a box of frogs.
I think it’s fair to expect a mirror image of last season. If we can plunge from a promotion spot to near relegation from November to May, we can do the opposite. Stands to reason, innit? PS the improvement against Rotherham was massive, especially considering the near zero time taken to achieve it. El Cif does need to figure out how we are going to score goals though.
I guess it stands to reason good players could perform badly and not get out of a rut to tailspin. Not so easy for a group of poor players to improve enough to get beyond their capabilities. Fortunately, I believe, we are somewhere in the middle and we could as a team do enough to get above at least three other teams in this league.
Getting above 4 teams ( an extra 1 for safety) is all I ask this season , bearing in mind what he inherited in actual position, but mostly in the players smashed attitudes. But a steady improvement, an actual plan, a return to football with a plan going forward would be jolly nice
Can we still sign free agents? Gotta be a 10 goal striker out there somewhere, feet up, cuppa watching the 'flix waiting for the phone to ring
