I donāt think tonight was as bad as some people are making out in WhatsApp groups and on Twitter. I certainly couldnāt fault the guys for effort - thought Yates and Williams were excellent (after a shaky first 20 mins). A bit of Kulechevski magic and Turnerās old failing of being unable to kick a ball has ultimately done for us. We actually had some good chances, Kouyate & Boly both had glorious opportunities fall their way. Iāve seen similar goals to Elangaās disallowed effort given by VAR before. In this instance it was the correct call however.
My Spurs friend I watched game with said they never looked comfortable. Yes it was mostly huffing and puffing from us with not a great amount of creativity but we were playing a top 6 side, even if Spurs were average tonight - they have quite a lot of injuries to key players one must remember.
We badly need a goal scoring striker in January. Badly.
Yes. Its just been a terrible run. It happened last year and he was given chances, he just ran out of rope this time. There seems to be a lot happening behind the scenes too with the likes of Worrall and McKenna training alone, not sure whats going on there.
Coops gave us the best years in decades and will always be a Forest legend
The club has handled this deplorably and with a total lack of respect to Cooper. Fair enough if Marinakis thought it was time for a change. But to actively tout other managers while Cooper was still in the job is below the belt.
Cooper being the gentlemen that he is, has conducted himself with dignity throughout. He gave us probably our two greatest seasons in 25 years. Ultimately I feel he was let down by the players, but his place in Forest folklore is secure.
As for Nuno, letās hope we get the Valencia and Wolves version, and not the Porto and Spurs one.
