One Manager showed class and respect for the opposition the other showed no class!

In Cook we have faith!!

pound for pound i think we have the best manager out there when you take the whole person into account, there is no one i'd rather have in the dug out than cookie. he'll get one or two wrong and he'll admit that cos he's a proper human being but he's a great manager but more than that he's a proper good person. i have had the privelledge of speaking to him a couple of times and he's such a genuine guy. Barley anyone in the game has a bad word to say about him.

there is interestingly history between cook and pep (cook beating man city with wigan with a goal from will grigg), at the time i think pep got very mardy as he is such a bad loser and cook stood his ground but remained professional in the aftermath

Sound familiar?


Same old story, I feel like a cracked record.

Loads of possession, but all too slow, players wanting far too many touches on the ball, and the patterns of play are monotonously predictable. The narrative will be that we're "controlling" the game, but Wimbledon are laughing behind their hands at us and could easily have grabbed a second goal from one straight clearance down the pitch.

I could describe it as 'style versus substance', but to be honest I don't even think we're that stylish. Just a bunch of lightweights. Bill Shankly used to dismissively call Tottenham the "Drury Lane tap dancers". We look like the modern League Two equivalent, and as much as I might hope, I can't see a Stuart Maynard half-time team talk changing that.

Please prove me wrong, Notts...

Yep, very mardy.
To be fair to him, the press this morning is reporting that the tiff was about Henderson's time wasting, not the hand ball. In such circumstances Cook bollocks the 4th officials, not the goalkeepers, and gets booked. A real gentleman.

Cookball or kick and rush 🤔. I'll stick with Paul Cook and guess he'll get his recruitment right for automatic promotion next season.
