Done a good thing getting shut when we did. Its a shame really as the boy has tons of talent and could become a very decent player. If Wolves do keep him they need to carefully consider the best club to loan him out to. He needs a league one, league two club where he can feature every week and build his confidence and sort out his attitude.
Not one of our better loanees and we’ve had some shyte.

I personally think players need to spot Windass’s runs a little early and get the ball to him Even after just one game Dowell made a comment in his interview about how good Josh is at playing on the defenders shoulders and making those runs.
One split second hesitation from the player on the ball leaves Windass in no-mans land. I’ve been saying it for ages we need a quality player who can preempt those runs rather than wait till Josh has made his move. The likes of Robbie Fowler made a career of playing off the defenders shoulders but was fortunate to have world class midfielders supplying him with ammunition.

Or, they could do it to show how much they care and understand the pressure that’s on their manager.
To assume that Cook doesn’t give them a bollocking when needed is unfounded. To be a football manager at any level you need to have a mean streak, there are tough decisions to make every day.
So sorry, I for one don’t buy into that theory.

We all agree with that, but no matter how much you harp on or vote with your feet like Dave, it wain’t happen.
I think we all must agree that the defending part of the problem has been addressed, I’m man enough to admit Kipre has done superb since linking up with Naismith. I’ve gone on record saying I thought he was the worst defender we’ve had, his positional play was woeful, but credit to Cook he’s found a formula that works. As anyone mentioned that by the way? If he gets the striking element right, as we are now creating a lot more chances this past 6-7 games, then we could turn the corner.
I’m hoping he gives Gelhardt a start at Brum just to see how he performs. Coming on for 15 mins running against tired legs will be a big difference than doing 90 mins chasing defenders down, chasing back to tackle midfielders in addition to running at fresh legs.
We start our season at Birmingham let’s see if we can get the rewards our current play deserves.

Now that everyone has calmed down and had time to think seriously about the game without “a cook out” head on, how the fuck did we lose that. ?
Missed penalty, Byrne’s one on one break away miss, a second nailed on penalty and a rake of other half chances against basically one glancing header that could have gone anywhere.
I think Forest only got out their own half 3 or 4 times in the second half.
So losing that game was all down to Paul Cook eh?
I want him out, but FFS, that was a fekin awesome performance that was all about the fine margins Cook has bleated on about all season.
It left me feeling gutted for Cook the players and fans that get behind them week in week out.

Never felt as gutted after a game in my life.
Played really well today, some of the best football I’ve seen from the team for a while. Great goal from Garner which should have won the game and then booosh, can’t defend a corner. I’m not angry with the players or management after watching that, just gutted for them.
Will we turn the corner?, still not sure.
