It's a desperate roll of the dice though and more often than not fails. With their fixtures coming up, Cooper may be gone within a month.

Looks like it's going to be one of those seasons, what will this look like by the end?

I caught the last 10 minutes of the game and Cooper seemed to be feeling the pressure on the touchline by the end. Their “sign-sign-sign” summer approach always meant they were likely to need time to gel - but home defeats against Bournemouth and Fulham from winning positions is not a good look.

I’d wait until the end of October, when they have six games (Leicester away, Villa home, Wolves away, Brighton away, Liverpool home and Arsenal away), before making any predictions on where they might finish. There are plenty of average teams in this league, and they just need to be better than three of them.

One thing their fans are having to get used to other than conceding goals - not playing at 3pm on a Saturday. A few Sunday/Friday games already, and only Wolves is a 3pm kick-off next month.
