Poor bloke must walk in through his front door after matches and feel sick to his stomach. He could see his reputation ruined here, absolute graveyard of a club. | | | |

If they don't step it up, they'll be gone and I can't imagine any other League One club is going to want many of them. | |

They've been allowed to coast. As soon as a manager wants them to put in some hard work they don't like it. I'm even thinking It started with Hurst and they soon got rid of him. | | | |

Hurst went because he was fooking useless and decimated a perfectly capable Championship squad. | |

I can only think some of the players haven't taken to Cook on 17:31 - Apr 5 with 1470 views | Basuco | Too many hopeful long hoofs forward, Jackson was isolated far too often despite what looked on paper a front two and when midfielders are on the ball there are no options available. All of this should be worked on in training but obviously isn't, play is so predictable and easily defended against and there is no change is formation or tactics when things are not working. Can't see why the players should not take to Paul Cook. | | | |
I can only think some of the players haven't taken to Cook on 17:34 - Apr 5 with 1420 views | haynes_toe1 | Lambert was a poor, poor manager but somehow achieved better with this group of players than Cook has, which isn't a great sign despite desperate attempts by some to make up endless excuses which weren't afforded to previous managers. | | | |

And yet there does seem something in what Urban has to say. A number of this squad were the ones who gave up on the relegation season in October. Lambert couldn't get a tune out of them (OK some mitigation there perhaps). They have been sent home from training as unable to manage a double session. The most they have managed in any game is a 20 minute spell of relatively high energy football before reverting to lethargy on and off the ball. Not fit? Definitely. Not interested? Quite possibly. Harsh, perhaps, to paint them all that way but the performances suggest not only a lack of ability but also a lack of desire. | |

So the explanation here is that we've somehow stumbled across a squad of 30 footballers, none of whom even have the basic self-interest to care about their own careers? Seems unlikely to me. | |

I really hope Leam Richardson joins Town in the Summer. | | | |

I can’t think of a single one who the fanbase would be up in arms about Cook selling on. Even the likes of Downes and Vincent-Young would have question marks labelled over their mentality and fitness records. | | | |
I can only think some of the players haven't taken to Cook on 17:39 - Apr 5 with 1335 views | ArnieM | The word Cook has just used about this squad ( not having ) was QUALITY . We have none in this squad . That’s why they can’t do what this manager want. They’re supposed to be “ professional “ footballers , but they can’t even train twice a day , they cant play different formations when asked , they can’t take a game by the scruff of the neck .... they’re meant to be PROFESSIONALS! Utter joke the lot of them . Clear THE LOT OUT. [Post edited 5 Apr 2021 17:40]

Or maybe, just maybe, Cook hasn't gone about restoring confidence and performances in the best way. We don't know what has gone on..... | | | |

This squad should not be drawing 0-0 against the worst team in the league without a shot on target irrespective of peoples views on individual players. Lambert would have rightly been slaughtered for it and Cook should not go without criticism for failing to get anything remotely positive out of the entire playing group. | | | |

I think it's considerably more likely that they're just bad, rather than actively sabotaging their own futures. | |

I can only think some of the players haven't taken to Cook on 17:59 - Apr 5 with 1095 views | J2BLUE | I think you're right. Must be a culture shock for them after Lambert's excuses and complete lack of professionalism. Cook badly needs a transfer window. I know certain posters think im obsessed but objectively, the blame must surely be with Evans? Five year deal when form had fallen off a cliff, about six months (conservatively) late to get rid of Lambert and then doubled down wit four expensive loans in January. Cook should have been in at the latest on January 2nd. Instead we've handed him a thankless task and the biggest shambles squad in our history. | |
