Don't think offsides fall within the 'clear and obvious error' criteria and are therefore always reviewed ... Was really pissed off with master tactician, Coopernicus, attempting to hang on to the lead by bringing an extra defender on for a forward player - particularly Coady who is something of a donkey and should be sold to a Championship club in January - doing that just invites pressure and when your defence is as leaky as ours ... ... and where was Vestergaard? - not even on the bench, straight after 2 very impressive shut outs and personal performances for Denmark in the Nations League ... playing alongside Kristiansen
Coopernicus saying that Buonanotte was injured and therefore didn't play against Palace ... wtf was he doing taking a place on the bench and therefore limiting our substitute options then? ... don't attempt to bullshit a bullshitter, Stevie lad ..
....and another week when Ricardo doesn't get a kick. I know we have pre-conceived ideas of players based on their previous contributions and think they are worth a place in the team but the manager clearly disagrees. The records show we have played 4 matches, got 2 points and are leaky at the back. Not only can Ricardo defend, he brings quality and goals when going forward and supports his winger well. Coopernicus? Let's hope he doesn't morph into Russ Abbot's Cooperman.
Seems like the FA have managed to dock us 2 points with that awful VAR decision on Saturday. What makes it worse is that the linesman could see it was offside yet they still have to find some way to interfere. I wouldn’t be surprised if the VAR officials have been instructed to find a way to make decisions to impede us, or am I being paranoid?
Well that was awful last night. There was little or no desire among our players, apart from one or two. Whether you’re playing Walsall or Real Madrid there’s no excuse for being outfought, if the fans can make the effort to travel the least the players can do is put a shift in. Don’t know if it’s Coopers system or just apathy among the players but we’ll go down without a trace playing like that. The pitch invader probably did himself a favour getting chucked out, he didn’t have to watch that tripe. Nice for Ward to get the plaudits as he had a good all round game.
Those sorts of matches should be a chance to outclass the opponent and build confidence. Apart from Danny Ward, it doesn't sound as though it worked for anyone else. 'Coopers system'. Sounds like some kind of psychological disorder a psychiatrist would need to cure.
Some cause for optimism despite losing at the weekend - terrible refereeing decisions in terms of the Goons first goal and the baffling lack of a second yellow for Calafiori... but great fight, a good defensive display prior to that unlucky OG and best of all, great to see JJ looking more and more like the player he was before those serious injuries...
Talking of good performances, how good was our keeper? How long before he's being linked with 'bigger' clubs in January? We really need to start building on these good performances and have the courage to come fast out of the blocks, take the game to the opposition from minute one and try and keep the pressure on. Pundits are saying the next 3 games are pivotal, but none of them are easy teams. They'll be thinking that we are there for the taking, so we need to lay down an early marker.
Hermandsen was awesome and we should be adding a zero onto his transfer value to see off any would be suitors ...
A win is a win but gosh we are a hard watch. Hate the fact that as a home side we are dominated so much from a mid-table side. Really missed Hamza today, that last 20 minutes was made for him.
Do we think Fatawu will start against Forest? I don’t see how he can’t after Saturday. If he doesn’t there must be a problem between him and Cooper.
Coopernicus seems to have the tactical nous of a tree frog that has consumed a vast quantity of fermented fruit... ... 'transitioning' a young player my arse - Spains Euro winning wingers are 17 and 22 respectively ffs...
Chris Sutton predicts a Leicester City loss ... again ... who knew? ... almost as if he dislikes us and carries a bit of a grudge
