I agree he is popular with the fans - they are not going to sack him for the sake of it or a for run of mediocre performances but they would certainly consider it by all accounts if they can sell the idea to the fans it would be an upgrade and an opportunity for Forest to become a top half of the table club - Do you think Cooper can get them there and keep them there? Marinakis saying it was hard to get a replacement at the end of last season wasn’t exactly a ringing endorsement…and yeah, he looked like he was very frustrated and not enjoying their performance on SaturdayThink it would be mad to fire him and deeply unpopular on the terraces. He's doing better than Hughton so far in second season.
That said, they were at home, a goal up early and poor. Pedro penalty, while soft was still a lot more of a pen than their ridiculous gift.
We were cruising, when they were gifted a free goal and the loss of our captain, and it still felt relatively comfortable for that 23 minutes.
I think Steve Cooper has the ability, sure. He's probably got more nous than many in the lower half, but all this non stop chatter about another manager is not helpful or a solid foundation on which he will be able to build something. It adds huge un-needed pressure to an already very pressurised job.I agree he is popular with the fans - they are not going to sack him for the sake of it or a for run of mediocre performances but they would certainly consider it by all accounts if they can sell the idea to the fans it would be an upgrade and an opportunity for Forest to become a top half of the table club - Do you think Cooper can get them there and keep them there?

Strange article - seems to think Taylor is the guiding light to reform all that is wrong with match discipline

Especially when Bart had to make a good save.I certainly wasn’t comfortable for that 23 minutes!
Stressful is how I found it, very stressful in factI certainly wasn’t comfortable for that 23 minutes!
"prick", not "****"Did he call him a bald **** which is what I’ve been hearing ?
This made me chuckle. Considering Lenny Rider is Ian Hart.Strange article - seems to think Taylor is the guiding light to reform all that is wrong with match discipline
Bit off an odd comment that Hart says: “Thankfully Dunky’s two-game suspension doesn’t start until after Albion’s landmark trip to Athens on Thursday”
Doesn’t he realise that the 2 game suspension is already in place, it is just that red cards don’t carry over in to UEFA matches?
It’s an excellent article.This made me chuckle. Considering Lenny Rider is Ian Hart.

Who perceives Taylor is the leading referee?

Wouldn’t it be good if player dissent improved in the long term and players/managers (looking at you Sean Dyche) got out of refs’ and officials’ faces.Just an opinion old boy.
Even RDZ stated he thought Taylor was supposed to be ‘the best’, so if they all do what Taylor did, obviously red cards will go up for a bit, but in time player dissent would surely improve?
