Fictional club events from this simulated season.
MD 12 · Forest Focus hears the dressing room
Let the players speak together. Brice Samba and James Garner speak together after training. The rumour loses its legs, though the microphones take up part of the afternoon.
Next 3 matches: a dressing-room lift creates more chances, with a little less defensive focus.MD 32 · A voice from the old City Ground
Ask the team to press higher. Cooper thanks the visitor and lets Brice Samba lead a higher press. Yuri Ribeiro knows the back line may have some running to do.
Next 3 matches: more attacking threat, more space for opponents.MD 46 · The club considers its options
Back the club and shield the players. Cooper backs the club in public and keeps Ryan Yates away from the microphones. Lewis Grabban gets a fired-up squad, but the row follows them into leg two.
Second leg: a lift in confidence, with some risk of losing focus.
