Wembley heroes

Your decisions

Fictional club events from this simulated season.

1. MD 12 · Full-backs want to fly
   Protect our shape. Cooper holds the shape. Ryan Yates is told to pick the right moments to go forward.
   Next 3 matches: tighter defence, less attacking threat.

2. MD 23 · Mid-season replacement
   Saidy Janko out; Tendayi Darikwa in.
   Reports link Saidy Janko with a January exit. The club confirms a loan move, leaving Cooper a shirt to fill.

3. MD 32 · Squad-list photo sparks rumour
   Clear it up after training. Cooper keeps training on schedule, then clears it up. Tendayi Darikwa was never dropped, though the rumour lasted all morning.
   Next 3 matches: fewer distractions tighten the defence, though Forest create slightly less.

4. MD 46 · An agent chooses his moment
   Back the player in public. Cooper backs Scott McKenna at the press conference. Ryan Yates sees the squad rally, but every interview now starts with a transfer question.
   Second leg: a lift in confidence, with some risk of losing focus.

5. MD 46 · One last training session
   Keep Wembley tight. Cooper asks Ryan Yates to keep the side compact against Huddersfield. Forest concede fewer openings, but must take their chances.
   Wembley: fewer chances conceded, but fewer Forest chances too.
