Stevie Cooper

[Chicago]

Just a quick question if you asked 100 forest fans if they would have wanted Ayew and Woods in January
how many would have said yes ?
definetly not me although I would of taken Shelvey at the time

I was keen to sign *Wood and was open to Shelvey.

As was I Wassy. 

And I dont care what everyone else thinks, I still think they're both good players. Just not been used correctly. Especially Wood, who made his debut having not had a single training session with the squad. He didnt have a chance to impress in that game and in subsequent games the shape or approach of the side has not changed in any way to accommodate his strengths. Not his fault.

Yeah he only had a few admittedly uninpsiring appearances then got injured. Would be my only real criticism of Cooper this year, why sign Wood then try and play him like Awoniyi. We had to change tactics around him or not play him. Think he'll do well next year if we go down still.

I dont Wassy (be good next season). To get the best out of him you need wingers chucking crosses in. Cooper doesnt set up like that. Strikers have to play wide it seems according to Cooper.

This season is probably lost but if we get Gerrard in over Cooper then next season is lost as well.

Maybe next year we somehow snag Keinan because Watford don't pay for him at the end of this season and we have a monster three of wood, Taiwo and Keinan.

I cannot see Johnson being here next season.  He will be gone to a more established Prem side.

If Coops goes then MGW will probably go too.  He would be devastating in the Champ.

We are not done yet because Everton are just as rubbish as us but we are on life support.


Chicago: Feeling sad.
