Regardless of the stats I just think you only have to see how the team performs now to how it did to see how better we are. Yes, results of late have been patchy, but last night shows how we can now play when we want to. I never got that impression with Cooper. Cooper was unlucky though. He was the guy who lead a team of strangers and championship players into the brutal premier league, with no personal experience of that level to draw on, either from himself, or his coaching team. To his credit he stopped the rot after the Leicester away game, and went to his low block game which generated a few results and eventually kept us up.
Nuno sets us up to win games, Cooper set us up to try not to lose. That's the difference in my eyes. While I can understand why Cooper had to do what he did, as a coach you can't stay in a job for long with that approach. It's ok if the results are coming but if they don't, players get frustrated and fans and owners do too. He was unlucky to get the sack, as the problems weren't all his, but he needed to go.

Possibly the best summing up of the last three seasons that I've seen so far.

Agreed, spot on and a well balanced post.

Matz Sels has won Premier League Save of the Month for March for his late save against Liverpool.
Hopefully this isn't jinxing him but, despite a lot of scepticism when we signed him, he's been a steady presence in goal for us.

He didn't really start great but has looked decent since the international break. Similar to Mangala last year where getting game time for Belgium seemed to give him a confidence boost. If he plays the Euros as Belgium starter at the very least he value will surely have increased.

Mail reporting Mark Clattenburg has resigned from his consultancy role with Forest.
Or, being the Mail, it's 'Mark Clattenburg has RESIGNED from his consultancy role with Forest.'

STATEMENT FROM MARK CLATTENBURG
By Nottingham Forest FC
Share
This is to announce that I will no longer be providing match analysis services to NFFC.
Since February this year, I have been proud to have done so under a consultancy agreement between NFFC and Referee Consultant Ltd.
I performed my services under the consultancy agreement in good faith, to the best of my abilities and in the hope of using my extensive experience as a match official to help NFFC understand how decisions in relation to key match incidents are made amid the workings of VAR.
However, it is now clear that the existence and performance of these consultancy services has caused unintended friction between NFFC and other participants, to the extent that it has become more of a hinderance than help to NFFC. It has also led to the unmerited targeting of me, personally, by certain participants and pundits.
Such reactions and outcome was not expected and is regrettable, as it is my sincere belief that there is a place for and value in such a role in the modern game.
I am grateful to NFFC and wish them all the best during the remainder of the season and in the future. It’s been an honour.

Well I hope MGW scores it then.

When he says other participants he means clubs right? And not the PGMOL…
