Well...that was the worst I have seen us play in a long time.
We didn't deserve a draw, but VAR and the post decided otherwise.
We need to start picking up points soon. Do we revert back to a back three?
The Good: Mangala and Murillo. Felipe's return.
The Bad: Everything, Everywhere, All at Once.
The Ugly: The crowd booing at the end. Were they booing Cooper or the players? Or both?
Special Mention: Murillo. Time to play him up front? He has to be better than Wood.
The Last Time we played (Fulham (A) - a 2-0 loss):
Navas
Aurier Mckenna Boly Lodi
Freuler Mangala
Scarpa MGW Johnson
Wood
Please no Wood this time around!
Proposed Lineup:
Turner
Aina Felipe Niakhate Murillo Toffolo
Sangare Mangala Dominguez
MGW
Elanga
Subs:
Vlachula, Worrall, Aurier, Williams, CHO, Danilo, Yates, Origi, Wood
With a back three we night just pick up the points....
Injuries:
Boly and Awoniyi.
Laughing @ Derby:
Hennessy, McKenna, Omobamidele, Montiel, Tavares, Kouyate, Aguilera and Santos
Form:
Fulham (H) - W3 D0 L3 GF7 GA9 - 14th (10th in the Home Form table)
Forest (A) - W1 D1 L4 GF5 GA11 - 16th (16th in the Away Form table)
* Fulham have scored six goals in their last two games.
Prediction:
We need a response, but I don't think a trip down the M1 mid-week is where we will find it.
There are so many players not competing and the ones that aren't getting a game seem surplus to requirements.
I think a January reshuffle is needed to ensure we don't get sucked into the relegation battle.
A 3-1 Forest loss!!!
Final Words:
COYRs!!!!

If i had my way I’d sack the players, at least a dozen of them.
Passionless, clueless mercenaries. Don’t give a damn about the club, just interested in their wage packet.
Imagine if we were to be relegated, FFP would absolutely crucify us, and the majority of these mercenaries would be off, leaving us massively in debt, and pretty much Leeds have found, players not wanting to stay.
If it happens, i hope we get the next appointment right, Potter is the only one i can think of.
Thanks Steve, its been a total rollercoaster, good luck at Palace, because that’s where i think he’ll go next.

The memorable victories against Arsenal & Leicester in the cup, a league cup semi-final, taking us from the brink of league 1 to the Premier League via the play-offs, the end of last season to keep us up, *that* day at Wembley. Thank you for everything Steve Cooper. A legend.

Yep and instead of building on last seasons team, what did they do?, sell our fastest counter attacking goal scorer and then bring in another 13 players who don't give a a fck.

Unfortunately FFP deemed we had too sell BJ, shame about the dross we replaced him with.

This is fixable.
Reset - team v Wolves
4-5-1; low block
Vlachodimos
Aurier. Worrall. Murillo. Toffolo
Aina. Mangala. MGW. Yates. Williams
Origi (or Wood, makes no difference)

He will probably have to revert to that although hopefully not that starting 11. Can’t see Origi getting a start again. But everyone was poor except maybe Mangala and even he was at fault for 2nd goal by not covering Murillo

I’d consider moving Murillo into midfield, i don't think he’s a centre half.
Both Aina and Aurier are statuesque liabilities, i wouldn’t play either of them, ideally, ever again.
We have nothing up front.
I’ve just read Coops WILL be given at least one more game to save his job.
The poor guy needs an absolute miracle.

When I watch Origi I think Wood has to be better.

I think it’s called a paradox. Or is it a dilemma?
