Nuno Herlander Simões Espírito Santo

He might be better off actually getting his players to take some responsibility on the pitch.

There's no doubt that some do, in fact, I'd say some try too hard. MGW, on his off days, is usually trying to do everything on his own, probably frustrated at the rest. He needs a fit Elanga to provide balance and a threat on both flanks.

If one of them could take responsibility for organising the defense at corners, then that'd be swell.

 

[Bing Crosby's Head]

Nuno says he wants referees to take responsibility on the filed. Watch the referees from now on take responsibility and give penalty after penalty against us!!

Isn't our main bone of contention from Sunday that the ref made a decision on the field that didn't get overturned by VAR?

 

[Alf-engelos Mindminackers]

And as much as I don't want to point the finger at individuals. You have to think if we'd had Sels in goal from the beginning instead of Turner/Vlachodimos we'd be at least a few points better off.

This really is what it boils down to for me.

Had Cooper started the season with a decent keeper instead of two which reveled in gifting points away, I think we'd be far more comfortable now.

Very sad that a great manager copped the blame for recruitment incompetence again.

I think the general feeling is that referees aren't giving penalties because they know that VAR is there to correct them. What we'll see is that the ref will give them against us and not for us and VAR will correct nothing.

Yes, but he gave a decision that Young played the ball when he could have just ignored it. Three of the biggest errors against us this season - this one, Boly and Liverpool - came from refs making incorrect decisions.

Just drop the Cooper thing for god's sake, he's gone, get over it.
He wasn't great at all, he was good and he was lucky as hell to get us promoted for which I will always be grateful.
We were lucky to get to Wembley via a shit show semi against Sheff U when Brice saved us, God bless him.
We were lucky in the final when at least one penalty decision went our way.
Cooper is not a Prem manager, perhaps that's why he hasn't been snapped up yet?

Alf does not drop things. They get replaced. In time.

Billy Davies was replaced by Steve Cooper. That kind of in time.

You'll get used to it.

Cooper took us from bottom of the table to promotion in one season, something never done before.

Cooper kept us up last season when Leeds (3 seasons in the prem), Southampton (11 seasons in the prem) and Leicester (9 seasons in the prem) were our competition, that's not including Everton who have never been relegated from the prem.

We are close to going down competing with Burnley, Luton and Sheffield United all recently promoted and we are supposed to have a much better squad this season due to "ambition". Perhaps instead of telling people to go support someone else you should stop being so ungrateful to the man who got us to the prem and kept us here against the odds.

 

[Strummer]

Steve Cooper gave me the third greatest moment in my 47 years following Nottingham Forest, so to be honest, I am going to cut him a bit of slack.

I saw this on r/nffc

I'm barely warming up yet.

The feeling of winning points under cooper knowing this was coming . A beautiful thing!

'Cooper was lucky' is one of the worst takes i've ever seen on this forum, incredible statement

Absolutely right.

Reading that a manager who took us from bottom of the Championship to 15th in the Prem in no time at all is "good not great", after 23 years of barely getting anywhere near that, is frankly hilarious.

Clickbait surely!

It's not as if anything that has happened post Cooper gives any credence to this delusional view pint either is it?!

Sincerely - I think it's an important role he plays.

Even if just one self-harmer changes their outlook as a result of his regular reminders, then in my onion, it is a job worthwhile and in some small part, I like to think it benefits the club.

I for one, as with the BD posts, will never get bored of reading them!!

Yes, the refereeing decisions have repeatedly f**ked us over. But I fear we’ve made a crucial error in letting this ‘woe is me’ victim mentality permeate the club and dressing room.

The whole season has just been a complete PR disaster. We’ve had already had enough noise around the club to distract the players all year. Then within the last two weeks - ahead of crunch time for the season where focus and togetherness are crucial - we’ve created a shambles around season tickets and launched a war with the prem/refs.

It’s the timing.

4 games left, we’ve got a f*cking job to do here. It’s about time we turned up, focused on the football and showed some bollocks like we did against Newcastle and Man United earlier this season.
