Cooper the master of understatement as he addresses performance

[JA News]

Steve Cooper watched his side lose 1-0 to Birmingham City last night and described the performance as “well below par” but that really doesn’t cover yet another performance where we looked anything other than a promotion chasing side.

“In the build up to this game, we trained so well and everything was positive. What we’d seen in the last week or two was not what I saw tonight."

Well starting the players you've seen for the last 1-2 weeks might have been a start there. A lot of the players had been on international duty he he hadn't seen them :lol:

I think I've actually gone from indifference to really disliking Cooper. There's nothing about him that says he'll be a good club manager.

Forget scoring goals, anyone remember we last made a completed pass?

If he firmly believes all the PR press briefing stuff then he isn't a manager/coach.

There are so much obvious stuff that he glosses over, even mentioning that he delayed making changes as he hoped we were getting on top. He has hoped in so many games, and that isn't just with subs but team selection.

Cooper is the Ali Dia of managers, he did a good spreadsheet and conned Leon and Curtis.
