Spurs at home to kick off the new season. Liverpool away on Boxing Day (Merry Xmas!) but a decent last 5 games......if we're not relegated by then!

 

What is the situation with Fatawu? I thought he was on loan until the end of last season.

 

I was thinking that. Hopefully we’ve still got something to play for come the last 5 games, they’re all winnable. October looks a favourable month too.
I’m sure the cogs are turning behind the scenes and we’ll have a new manager very soon to get us prepared for the new season!

 

So it’s officially Cooper. Funny how in the ‘Who do we want as the new manager?’ thread, Noggin the Nog got more votes. I think the board are looking beyond this season, and the likelihood that we’re back in the championship. I feel Cooper will stick around if that’s the case, I don’t think Potter would have.

 

I have to admit that, of the 3 main contenders, he was my third choice. It comes across as rather an underwhelming and unambitious choice, but I hope I'm proved as wrong as Gary Lineker with his 'Ranieri. Really?' comment. He certainly worked well with a very average (not meaning to be derogatory here) Forest team, and seems to be well respected in the game. Let's get behind him and see what he can do with some decent players from the start. Will he try the same style of play as Maresca? Probably not too dissimilar, and hopefully with a little more pace. The real work for next season starts now.

 

Watkins showed why I worry about big Jannick in his cameo last night ... Southgate did Denmark a huge favour by playing arguably the only striker in the tournament unable to exploit the big man's tangible lack of pace ... he'll get done easily by qui ker forward unless he has pacey cover (Jackson showed that in the FA Cup) ...

 

I like Winks... and in a different formation yes....

 

Noggin was a pipe dream ... he was never going to come

 

I understand Enzo is taking him as part of his coaching team

 

New away strip as worn tonight at Shrewsbury...

 

Not on my wishlist.

 

Just watched the highlights. We seem to be attacking a bit quicker. No p***sing about at the back.

 

Someone forgot to wash the shirts after the pre season paintball bonding session

 

Frustrating news re Stolarckyk, a few months out due to an ankle operation.
Iversen might be off to Derby, if we can agree a fee. Which leaves us with Danny @%&@#ing Ward as our No 2.

 

Let's all pray that hermansen stays fit then eh, ie repeats Kaspers old record of not missing many matches?

 

They are saying 12 weeks now, so hopefully not as bad as first thought.

 

Real shame ...

 

Well and truly humped by Lens this afternoon ... 3-0 currently... they have a bloke called Papys Mendy playing for them ...

 

12 weeks is 3 months which is a few months. No change really just wording different.

 

I never l like to read too much into pre season results but the bits of the matches I've watched, hasn't filled me with much confidence.

I was expecting a long, tough and miserable season but I think it's going to be worse than I expected.
