Excellent game for our keeper as well

Penalty

Crazy tackle

Now what’s going on?

2 points thrown away because cooper has sat back and defended for 30 mins

Penalty palace

Ffs

It’s been coming we’ve been defending for most of the 2nd half. Appallingly negative - the guy will take us down no question

You cannot keep sitting back and expect to win games. Awful management

If he doesn’t beat Everton at home the fans will turn. I’ve never seen such an unpopular manager at the club

Crazy decision to hire him in the first place

Full time - 2 survival points dropped.

Meanwhile Forest beat Liverpool by bringing on attacking subs that can create goals

Cooper clearly cost us three point, even though their first goal offside.
He is a championship manager,tactically useless,wrong team selection,wrong subs,sorry but he ain't good enough.
Decent man,poor manager.Dont think he will see month out.

Oh he’ll be here until April next year. This board are a clueless joke. They will keep him until it’s way too late

I think and hope they bow to fans pressure,I know Cooper has a hard job to do,but seems to get far more decisions wrong than right.

Agree with that Thorney

Sadly, that's what happens when you hire Championship standard managers in the Premier League. Their tactical decisions lose you more points than they gain.

Steve Cooper is not a Premier League manager. Nothing in his career so far suggests that he is. Yet the brain-dead decision makers decided to take the cheap, easy decision. No other club in this league bar perhaps Southampton would have hired this manager if their current manager left.

The club has spent a lot of money in the last few weeks for the type and calibre of player he demanded - money that, frankly, the club may well not have. It was his decision to bring in all these Premier League second string players because he wanted experience. He wanted creative attacking players which he now refuses to start. There's some quality in the squad albeit quite limited, but we will always be held back by a sub-par manager out of his depth.

If he stays as manager beyond the next few weeks, he will take us down. If we don't beat Everton next week, the writing will be on the wall - likely visible to everyone inside the club except those with the power to make changes.

Problem is,who else would we get??
Can't think of an obvious replacement, except Pearson!!

I think this is the problem. They’d have to go cap in hand back to Potter and hope he’s changed his mind with the news on the points deduction. Also whoever else comes in is now lumped with the Cooper signings which are abysmal.

Only one way we recover as a club. King Power out. Until that happens it’s a spiral towards championship oblivion which has already started

I would be very surprised if Potter would even consider coming after rejecting us twice. Feels like that opportunity has already gone.

Most suitable fit with what we have would be Moyes, but I am not sure if he would come here.

Corberan for me. Should have gone for him instead of Cooper if we’d had any sense. Other than that it would have to be a European wildcard pick

I would love to see us try to poach Corberan but I am not sure the current squad would be up to his style of players. Cooper has lumbered us with a load of players that are not really going to of much use to more progressive players. Don't get me wrong, I would love to see a more attacking manager getting Fatawu, Ricardo, Buonanotte and El Khannouss into the team but what is Corberan expected to do with the likes of Reid and Ayew, other than drop them?

Once it was apparent that Potter wouldn't be joining, we should have gone all out to get him and let him build on Maresca's team. Instead we went for the cheap, out of work option because he lived 30 miles down the road. Now we're stuck with a manager with a 20% win record and his buys.

It’s not easy. In one sense I can see some progress in how we are playing. Pre-season we were horrific. I can see that Cooper has made the team better and we’re approaching games looking more solid and actually scoring goals. We did neither in pre-season, we looked abysmal in every aspect.

I can see performances improving and I actually thought Skipp was very good yesterday so I can start to aee how bringing that type of engine into midfield can help us (despite me having questioned the signing ALOT). Ayew works his socks off even if he’s lacking in quality. Those things will help us BUT…….

It’s not enough unless Cooper learns to use the attacking talent he has at his disposal (Fatuwu, Mavididi, Ricardo, El Khanouss) and stops trying to approach games and subs so negatively.

That’s where I’m conflicted - he’s doing some good work but we can’t shiiithouse our way to survival. I get that he doesn’t trust Ricardo defensively, he doesn’t trust Mav and Fatawu together defensively - but he has to when it comes to games like Palace and Everton because they give you so much more going forward

The Coady sub yesterday cost us the game. It’s too negative and you’re bringing on a defender who has barely played for a year at a pivotal moment. No wonder he made a mistake

Cooper has to get the balance better - otherwise he has to go

I said 2 weeks ago, that this will the formula that Cooper constantly uses

We had it for 18 months in the PL under him and it was awful to watch - even when we managed to win a game it was with like 18% possession and was painful watch a lot of the time

When we were in the Championship under him, we had one of the most exciting and attacking seasons. I’ve ever witnessed (you’ll remember from that FA Cup game)

But in the PL he constantly relies on a low block counter attacking approach which just kills any entertainment - and when you drop point of end up losing like we did most weeks, it was just a turgid watch

Good luck with him, it was the best decision we made in the past 2 years upgrading from Cooper to Nuno

I feel for you, because seriously, I know exactly how you lot feel 👍🏼
