I hate to say this as he is one of my Rovers all time heroes, but he seems to be getting knocked
off the ball all the time and giving the ball away, he does one or two good things a game just
not enought and it makes me sad to watch is decline,I think it's time to say goodbye James i've loved watching you but it's just about over :( :byebye:
-
Hahahaha
-
He was wrote off years ago but has a dip and then comes back better than ever
-
I mean, he nearly scored an absolute pearler in the Southend game so I'm not sure he's done yet. Man's made a career out of being written off prematurely though so it's nothing new.
-
Did you see how he cut in and smashed that cross ball against the upright in his last game though .Only he and Darren know how he is shaping up physically after all they have all the technology mapping performances .I hope your wrong .
-
Not to mention he played Sadlier in for his goal on Tuesday night.
-

I hope you're right but time is againts him now.

Disagree. One more season definitely.
He has been our best player in at least 6/7 games this season and one of the best 2/3 players in at least another 6/7
He will not be m.o.m. every week and yes he will have off days but even on those off days he is capable of opening a defence and winning the game by doing it.
Legs have gone. How many times have we heard that in the last 5 years. No they haven’t not yet.
He will know himself when & if he feels he is not contributing enough to the team.
-
Just having him in and around the first team, even if he’s not playing is of massive benefit. I’m sure Darren Moore realises this and what he brings to the party. Definitely keep him for our title charge next season if it doesn’t work out this year.

Yes Father Time is catching him up but he’s played far more minutes this season than expected due to a very thin squad. As this is now changing it gives us the luxury of giving him a break to recharge the ageing batteries, I feel he has another season in him if managed properly, remember fitness wanes but class is permanent and this legend has that in spades.
Just to add, I don’t think I could stomach seeing him retire in another clubs colours
-
We are a far far weaker team going forward when he doesn't play.
-
I'd give him another year
-
I'd give him another year
I’d send him to medical science and get him cloned !!
-
Can't believe on a good day, someone would post this, pathetic.
-
I'm sure we must be looking to keep him going next year. If we were to go up to the championship next season I think he'd be very limited to game time, almost worth staying down to see copps play as much as possible :lol:
-
So we ha e two new signings....best start moaning about something else
-
Bull
-
I'd give him another year
I’d take a chance and give him 2 years
-
Bonkers post. He’s got another season and then he should be kept on as Club Guru for life.
-
Best player on the pitch
-

I can. Seriously depressing this site.
-
What a pathetic thread to start when we’ve just had such a positive day.
Most supporters are buzzing, but there’s always the negative, ridiculous, inane moaners waiting to crawl out of the woodwork.
The next game you attend I suggest you ‘Copp Watch’.
Then come back on here & tell us again what you’ve seen.
-
Well done ...you certainly know how to poke the bear....
I guess your arrogance has probably gotten the better of your judgement this time...lol
It’s a little dip in form ....that’s all!
-
He wants to stay at least another year.
-
I think hes been running into the ground, hes still got it upstairs, but, the legs are slowing down. He just needs a rest, then he'll be back as per, just like he always has, now we've brought in some new young blood he can be used more sparingly. Would be brilliant if he came off the bench at Wembley to stick the winner in the top corner, cos we all know it's the sort of thing he would do.
-
It is some of the idiots on this thread that want a rest, especially the OP
-
End of the day, no matter what any of our opinions are...only one man knows when the time is right and that is That Boy James Coppinger. He will want his career ending on a high not a "drag myself through one more season". If he has another year (or 5!?) in him, you're damn sure he will sign up for it! Long Live The King !!
-
Not a chance!! He’s an absolute pleasure to watch and worth the ticket price just to see him turn on his magic 👍⚽️❤️
-

What dip in form?!
Mind you, this from someone who berates Whiteman because he says he’s ‘starting to play as poorly as Jordan Henderson’!
God forbid our two new strikers start & play like Sala & Firmino eh?!!😏
-
He's still better than most players in his position in this league and I'm sure a majority of the teams in League One would want him in their side. I think he should be put on our famous 1 year rolling contract and he can give up playing when it suits him. As for his legs have gone, he was still charging forward in the 90th min against Southend. I think there is still plenty in his tank.
-
What do you expect from someone who can't even spell a simple word like seem?

The dip in form that goes side by side with fatigue, ... and yes he will be physically manhandled by the opposition hence appearing to being knocked off the ball, however that is part and parcel of what a threat he possesses.
But to chuck him under the bus based upon a couple of games he hasn’t needed to stamp his authority on is a bit over the top...
( no shocks there then)
Regarding Whiteman, I’m aware that he has great vision for the perfect pass , however I find he slows the tempo down sometimes needlessly and loses the impetus, .... he may have been a wonderful player before Sheaf arrived, but he looks kind of ordinary now....
Anyway .....I guess we will probably disagree on that too.....
But leave Copps out of any debate concerning retirement just yet....he has certainly earned the respect of this club and its fans for what he brings to the word “ ENTERTAINING”
-
He cannot and never will do any wrong , long live the king
-
I'd give him another year
For his service I’d give him two, name the south stand after him and give him the freedom of Doncaster... the latter he may turn down
-
Why would anyone even mention that, so on that basics does Gomes,Sadlier and Taylor hang their boots up after a couple of below par games, Cops has been one of the better player in bulk of games this season, his fitness stats are better than 5 years ago (His words) let's get real without him we as a team are weaker in general
-
Luckily we have a manager who understands, gets, and respects the legend that is mr james coppinger!!
-
I wished him happy birthday a couple of weeks ago and said I would love to be watching him playing for us this time next year when he will be forty.
He said he wants to be so it doesn’t sound like he is expecting to be done with us just yet.

Dyslexia mate what's your excuse for being the spelling police,bet you where a little bully at school grow up

Whiteman looks ordinary since Sheaf arrived?
Slows the tempo down & loses the impetus?
Think it’s time you started ‘throwing’ a few IMO’s into your rambles.

I'm sure that is why DM is bringing in the lad from Villa so Copps gets a rest
-
I’m not sure the op deserves all the abuse, while I don’t agree and no one else does he is allowed a opinion no?
-

I agree.
He has not been abusive, just stating an opinion.
The vast majority of us disagree with him, if not all of us, as i haven’t seen a post that does agree with his views on Copps.
That does not give us a right to slaughter him on this forum. Some of the posts in reply to him are way over the top and are insulting.
I do think far too many people on this site are looking for confrontation instead of a sensible discussion.
It is a minority of course, but we could do without it. Just my opinion.
-
I think it's the ops last paragraph that stirred things a little even though he has grounds about Copps overall performance levels.
As others have said, Copps will decide when it's right to say goodbye but there's nothing wrong with succession planning.
I'm sure Copps will be a positive influence for the rest of the season, both on and off the pitch, which we all hope ends on a high.
If he wants to put his slippers on at that point, what better way to bring to an end a legendary career with us.
I think everyone would want the best for James Coppinger whatever he decides to do.
-
Against the grain here, I wouldn’t say he’s coming to an end, but I can see why somebody would say that about a 39 year old footballer. I too have made comment the last few games Coventry and Southend in particular that he looks slightly off it, that could be a) because his usual standards are so high or b) he’s 39 and he’s absolutely knackered and the busy festive period is still lingering. Certainly not for the scrap heap yet, maybe just give him a rest and then bring him back in. I also think he’s one of the most valuable members of our squad
-
He has played more than last season so understandably he might be a little jaded. His stats this season justify an extension alone.
-

That’s your best post of 2020 :thumbsup:

And you can shut it as well.
