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! :emoticon-0127-lipss

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.

Looks good Vestegaard signs a three year deal and you don’t select him. Who on earth thought that was a good idea?
The Ndidi/Soumare position is a bit of a dilemma. Ndidi doesn’t quite seem the player he once was and Soumare was a liability last time we were in the Premier League. Would you not have Winks in there somewhere?

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 <laugh> ... 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 <laugh>
 
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.

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.
