MATCHWATCH : Nottingham Forest (a)

[morganb]

how, how, how can the manager sit Joao on the bench? Time to take his boy off. We need goals, not nepotism.

To protect him from injury. The man is made of glass. He can't play every week.

But I've heard he's indestructible

[blythspartan]

My fear is Forest have been poor and maybe much better in the 2nd half.

[South Coast Royal]

Who was supposed to be on their wide man? McIntyre was in line with the box and Hoilett was nowhere. Acres of space.

Anybody who has watched Forest this season knows that most of their attacks come through Johnson and the overlapping Spence.
Dreadful preparation with Tommy Mac tucking inside from the kick-off.
Do we ever watch the team that we are about to play and prepare?-see also last Saturday when there should have been an effective plant to stop Cooper.

Fortunate in some ways that they scored so early as such a goal can often have an effect on the scorers and that has happened here-it also gives us 90 minutes to get back in it.
We are playing ok and would be content if we were not a goal down.
Hopefully Forest stay dragged down to our level in the second half but the pessimist in me says that they will improve.

[Sutekh]

Seems a very dull game with not really very much happening, Reading offering the standard not very much while Forest seem to be content to just see the game out.

.

A plant would have prob been more effective than Holmes etc

What don't you agree with, Ian? Joao is injury prone. If we want him fit for the rest of the season we need to wrap the lad up in cotton wool.

He's on the bench because he's been sick. There's no chance we wouldn't play a fit Joao 'to protect him from injury' when the games are Saturday to Saturday. There's no occasion we've dropped him to the bench to 'protect' him.

[Ascotexgunner]

The legacy of Roman Abamovic. Useless p*icks like Drinkwater being paid 120 grand a week, paying tens of millions for him and him not being good enough at even this level.
How the f*ck did he get a PL winners medal. The likes of Kante and Mahrez must have carried him.

[Snowflake Royal]

Great work Southwood

[Snowflake Royal]

Rino off, Ejaria on.

Do we insist on laser surgery to.destroy our managers' eye sight on employing them?

How is Pisswater still on the pitch?

[Elm Park Kid]

Getting battered right now.

[Elm Park Kid]

Rino off, Ejaria on.

Do we insist on laser surgery to.destroy our managers' eye sight on employing them?

How is Pisswater still on the pitch?

I swear it's a contractual thing.

[Ascotexgunner]

Because Ince hasn't got a f*cking clue.

[Ascotexgunner]

There it is. F*ck off Ince. Useless.

[Jackson Corner]

Terrible defending we are down forget it

[Snowflake Royal]

Gameover.

Southwood no chance

Dann sold himself right up shit creek. So much for him improving us. Dreadful defending.

[Sutekh]

Has Meite actually contributed anything to the game, can’t recall his name being mentioned that much in the commentary.

[windermereROYAL]

Don`t know why anybody expected anything different today.

[Zip]

I just don’t see how we will stay up. We are so desperately poor defensively.

[windermereROYAL]

that`s the 70th goal we`ve shipped this season.

[Ascotexgunner]

I just don’t see how we will stay up. We are so desperately poor defensively.

Simple answer is we arnt. Barnsley will sneak a win or two somewhere.
We are down.
Useless coaching and rubbish management will see to it.
