Seems like we are getting worse as other teams around us have fight
Ours last 6 games 4 losses and two draws
We dont seem to have any fight again to go win games
Coopers tactics and subs strange at times
thoughts

Well... all I hear from Cooper is 'we stuck/stick to a plan'. If the players are carrying out coopers plan, then it is clear Coopers instructions do not work. Seen and heard all of coopers tactics and window dressing speak before. Many fans seem to like him, but I am not swayed by his pretty talk. So.. in answer to your question, I do not expect anything other than relegation, though others have different views of course.

Being optimistic we've lots of injuries and new faces still gelling.
Friday saw some new partnerships. Niakhate+Felipe, Yates+Shelvey should improve us. If we can get Awonyi back on the left and Wood up top that's a decent starting XI with options on the bench.
The problem recently has been losing the ball every time we go forward and inviting wave after wave of attacks. That and shit defending. Maybe we're playing too direct but more than that the front players dont seem to have any understanding... how many times do we see Jonno or Dennis isolated and losing the ball or MGW trying a hollywood pass cos they have no options.
I dont known if 11 games is enough time to gel. But lets not forget; we've already beaten Palace, Southampton, Leeds and Liverpool this season. Drawn with Brentford, Brighton, Chelsea and Villa. Of the games we have left only Man U, Arsenal and Wolves have done us. So it aint over yet.

Relegation has been on the cards ever since we got promoted. Although our form has dipped, we are still more competitive than I thought we would be and how Cooper has transformed us has been incredible.

The international break has come at the right time. We need a bit of a refresh, time on the training pitch with the new guys and get a few others back from injury.
Awonyini could make the next game. Yates and Niakhate will be sharper.
If we're to stay up we need to get results away from home, if that's not too obvious

Kouyate going away on international duty is a total piss take.

Kouyate going away on international duty is a total piss take. I fully agree with you on that. Sods law, he picks up an injury again. |

I haven’t enjoyed the Premier League and I’m finding it hard to get upset when we lose as every loss increases my chances of getting tickets next season. |

Especially as loads will stall renewing season tickets till the last moment, if we look like going down some won't renew. |

No - we cannot win at home and lose away so I fear the worst after today. We were doing really well on the counter and Wolves offered little up front but we shit ourselves and sacrificed Dennis for Worrall and went to essentially a back 9 and invited them on

We just have to hope that there are 3 teams shitter than us. I cannot see where our next win is coming from, but that is true for a number of teams near the foot of the table.

After seeing Wolves and Leicester at the CG, I can't see where they're going to get a win from. Leicester were without Maddison which makes a difference, however, I think Wolves look like they're not going to win another game. They literally created nothing and were very poor indeed.
Everton weren't much better either.
Southampton looked fucked as well.
I think the starting 11 on Saturday with maybe a swap for Kouyate and Awoniyi is easily good enough to beat teams.
We have a huge midweek game this week. I don't fancy us getting anything at Villa at the weekend though.
So in a word, yes, I do think we have enough and I think we will stay up.

To be honest - now that Marinakis has given Cooper at least a few more games in charge, we are at the stage where there is no point considering replacing him at all this season. The calibre of managers linked with the Leicester job are dire and if we go down then I can't think of a better man than Cooper to be in charge.
Cooper probably represents our best chance of staying up. If we could scrap ourselves to 36 points and hope the teams below us don't suddenly find a rich vein of form, we might stay up by the skin of our teeth.
This is our run in - a few potential games we could get things from
Villa (a) - L
Man Utd (h) - D
Liverpool (a) - L
Brighton (h) - W
Brentford (a) - L
Southampton (h) - W
Chelsea (a) - L
Arsenal (h) - L
Palace (a) - W

The thought of Benitez coming in fills me with dread. |
