    100%, especially the highlighted bit. Their sense of entitlement is unbelievable. Although I was amused by one of the forum posters calling Mr Cooper a goblin.

    Nice to see some sensible comments on here. Cooper is genuinely a phenomenal manager, the best we’ve had since the big man, without any doubt. 
    He’ll end up at a bigger gig than Forest, but at present he’s clearly enjoying the role. 
    I will say, the difference between Forest fans and Leicester fans is staggering. Bottom of the league, losing 0-4 against a fellow struggler and we sung our heart out for SC back in October. And look at what backing him has resulted in. 
    On the flip side, you should read FoxesTalk and the vitriol they’re directing at Brendan Rogers. A man who won them the FA Cup? 

    They’ve got far too big for their boots very quickly. As much as I have banter with you lot on here, they’ve got the worst fans out of any of the east mids clubs, by a distance.

    He's very tall. Wikipedia have him as 8"9
    I wonder if he's related to the two Springett brothers, both goalkeepers around the 1970's

    He was born in Aberdeen, grew up in Aberdeen and has now returned to Aberdeen. I'd say he has gone back home. ?‍♂️

    It’s funny, remember some Clough fans saying Mac built his success on the team Clough assembled. Is it any different? Maybe not, but it totally undermines the impact that Warne has had on getting more from the players, by adopting different tactics and systems. 
    I’m another Warne convert, you have to give credit where it’s due.

    I absolutely understand those who wanted Rosenior to stay and succeed, and I understand that some people were sceptical about Warne.
    What the recent performances show is that patience is a virtue. Warne has now had some time to get to know the squad and players at his disposal. Partly through circumstance and partly through his own and his coaching team’s ability they have settled on a formation and style of play that works rather than their early intentions to replicate the tactics and formation that had worked for them previously, and they’re getting a tune out of the squad with players seemingly fitter and effective in their roles.
    Further to that the players have had chance to adjust and settle, for anyone who claimed a couple of months back that as professional footballers they didn’t need that time I would say the evidence is clear now that they did. Watch any recent interview with members of the playing staff and there are clear comments about them now getting how “the gaffer” wants them to play. Similar to Ten Hag at Manure, early days they had a few pastings and now they’re doing well. 
    I suppose my point is, we’re in a good moment now having had that time to adjust, and if we lose a couple it doesn’t mean the wheels have come off. It’s a marathon not a sprint, what matters is where we are at the finish line in May so enjoy the good moments and don’t get too down if and when we have a wobble. ?

    I seem to recall that he came to Derbyshire because he wanted a 'project'. On that basis he probably sees it as a work in progress and wants to see it through.
    As you say he's "been there and done that", more than once.
