Looks like some of the bomb squad had an outing today.

? Words from the Gaffer:
"Today was a super exercise for us against a strong Nottingham Forest.
"You know it will be tough when you come up against talent like Jonjo Shelvey, Steve Cook and Harry Arter.
We won the game comfortably, and it’s further minutes for the players".

Surprised Arter knew where his boots were. What a fraud calling him a football player.

Been thinking about the Shelvey situation.
Is it right that he is still bomb squaded? We have invested £5m in him and are paying him £80k/wk to sit on his sofa watching his own highlight reels. Not condoning his actions last season but he is a player with considerable PL experience, offers qualities we don’t have and goodness know we are lacking right now.
Surely pre season was an opportunity to wipe the slate clean. There was a story how his play may have been detrimental to MGW and others. Again isnt pre season the time to try that get that right rather than discard it?
Im not his greatest fan myself just think there is an element of cutting off nose to spite face here. Even if we are trying to get him moved on his value isn’t going to increase kicking around vs Kidderminster reserves. Is it Cooper’s decision not to involve him or is it higher up than that?

Can't say too much, but I do know he has been training with the U23's. Apparently, he is a right miserable sod.

Cooper has made a lot about the right attitude culture and feeling within the dressing room, and boy Shelvey seems like a right stink

They must have known his character before we signed him? He’s always had an edge and I would hope that he’s pissed off about not being involved

Cooper has said that Aguilera will stay with Forest until January at least (i.e. not go out on loan).
Think that's a good move. He'll have the B-team league and Papa John's to play in as well as maybe pushing for the 1st team squad.
