Have we gelled yet then? 21:57 - Nov 23 with 900 views | Steve_M | I’m bored of the continued failure from Cook, total underachievement since he’s been here despite having his pick of players for the division. That after hiding behind players last season. Ridiculous team selection, that three behind Bonne didn’t have the physicality today and the combination just didn’t work. This season is turning into a fourth successive one of failure. It’s not good enough. [Post edited 23 Nov 2021 22:07]

Have we gelled get then? on 22:00 - Nov 23 with 855 views | N2_Blue | yes we've gelled. Gelled into a side lacking ideas and with no other plan. It happened under Lambert and its happening under Cook. We become really easy to play against because the opposition manager knows exactly the way we will play whatever the personnel. |  |

I thought it was maybe just here it got overused but I bumped into an avid Town fan I know a couple of weeks ago and it was one of the first things he said. "We're still gelling". I think the thing that makes all this more difficult is that most of us generally like Paul Cook. He seems a good enough guy and I know I have, for one, been desperately willing him on to do well. Not enough though is it. |  |

Fraser.. how on earth did he get those stats. Chaplin... 30 odd champ appearances. Morsy. Championship rock in midfield. What are we doing with them |  |

Have we gelled get then? on 22:04 - Nov 23 with 778 views | Stadiumofdark | He sets us up wrong..... then just seems to watch the game unfold without being able to adjust to impact it. Looks like the players haven't got any confidence in how he sets us up. Useless |  | |  |

It is a weird one isn't it. Numbers wise, he's even worse than Lambert but somehow doesn't seem WORSE because we occasionally bust out some stirring wins and he appears vaguely competent rather than a shambolic chancer. |  |

A lot of managers stick to one formation., so I really don't' see that as an issue. It's not making it work that's the problem. We've had managers over the last decade that have played around with different formations, but no formation will hide a poor team. |  |

Cook also managed to make last season's squad play far worse than under Lambert. |  |

I'm in the camp of us having some decent players yet I know not everyone agrees. As individuals they're capable of pulling a display out the bag but as soon as we're faced with an organised side we lack direction. That can only come from one place unfortunately. |  |

Totally agree, and I was one of those questioning the 'best squad in the league' under shambert, but I do think this squad should be top 6 minimum. Feck, I think I could get them top 15. |  |

This is basically where I am. It's that or Paul Cook is TERRIBLY unlucky to have inherited one set of gutless layabouts and then gone and bought another 19 of them. |  |

Have we gelled yet then? on 22:19 - Nov 23 with 494 views | ElderGrizzly | His coaching appointments must be questioned. Why would anyone with our budget, go with such inexperience, unless you purposefully don’t want challenge as a manager? Everything else I agree with. 4 points from last 15, all in theory vs our competitors for promotion. Playoffs could be 16pts away when all teams have played games in hand. We’re closer to relegation zone tonight. Yet. We’ll beat 24th placed Crewe and all will be well again for some. I saw a stat tonight. Our three home wins come against the current 21st, 22nd and 23rd placed teams. Poor… |  | |  |
