Well that's just it isn't it !!, its all speculation and supposition. Something you indulge in from time to time.
Well Cooper shouldn't be making these veiled hints in interviews. It causes rumours and speculation and puts all the defenders under suspicion.
Not very managerial behaviour.
When Cooper was at Swindon he used to make a lot of veiled hints that someone (most likely a player who ended up on the coaching staff was running tales to the board) and I thought he was better than some people gave him credit for but someone was stabbing him in the back. But maybe this is how he acts, rather than having it face to face and in private. Agreed - not very managerial behaviour.

I know some will say Newport were freewheeling after 2-0, but it's frustrating how often we can compete and give teams a hard game but only after giving them a start. If it was early in the season, we might say there are promising signs and things will improve if we can start taking chances and cut out mistakes at the back, but it's a pattern now and week after week it's the same story.

Poor teams win the odd game, we are a poor team and might win 3/4 more games this season this squad would be mid table in the National League, this time next year we will know. The two young strikers are wasting there time been here feel sorry for them.

Av a word with him then.
For some reason, I know not why, our paths have never crossed. He would be a different man if they had. 😂

Some may say we played well second half. The manager will say the same things.

There are no positives to take from this game

Was Kay injured because he was the only decent player last Tuesday?

Cooper is in charge if he can't motivate the players before we start there's something sadly wrong, it's as if they're petrified of making a mistake.
it's costing us dearly ,I feel for our players they look great after we go a goal down because then it looks as if the pressure lifts.
It must be getting to the stage where the board needs to meet he player's and find out what's wrong because it's pretty obvious there's a problem!

Wide open trying to play with a back 3, we just cant play that system, dont know why we persist with it. I'm astounded we knuckled down and only came away with a 2-1 defeat.

You could see him on the bench behind Cooper. Presumably just not involved. Cooper's selection roulette confuses me.

Could be worse could be a Oldham or Scunny fan.

you're spot on we improved because we started to apply pressure this system only works when you do this but when Adam pushed him on this he was adamant he won't change he's so inflexible, no wonder the player's look unhappy!
