50th league goal of the season as well.

50th league goal of the season as well.

I’ll take a bullet header, but would have preferred my predicted scenario ? 
Great delivery, good movement from Cashin and a firm header planted in the top corner ? 
Warne is going to love that, like we all do! 

CASHIN! 2-0 Super Derby

CASHIN! 2-0 Super Derby

very impressed with White today

While we have been wasteful today (and occasionally throughout the season) we are the 4th highest scoring side in the league behind Sheff Weds, Plymouth and Ipswich. It’s not a bad record considering the team that was thrown together and we had that very good winning run not that long ago, compared to how poor our goal scoring exploits were in the last couple of Championship seasons I think we’re much improved. 
Plenty of time for us to run up 2, 3, 4 goal lead before full time 

Forest controlling the ball well at home..89% possession City so far..

Starting next week

Extra man in midfield we look great...who would have thought it..

Despite being on the losing side, I thought we played brilliantly at the Valley. Especially the first half of that game. We looked a class above. 
 

Important context right here. 
Last 2 games have been disappointing, if anyone thought we was going to romp the rest of the season without dropping any points at all, well, I'm not sure what to say.
Way too early to be hitting the panic button.

Apparently, There's a song about it! 

Understood

Miles offside....karma..

Sibley on, glad he made the subs early, it might not work but its positive.

Thought it was an ironing convention! 

Deary me lino!
 

It's obvious that this 2 up top is not working. It's obvious that we miss an extra body in midfield. It's no coincidence that the previous run was built on the lone striker with that extra man in the middle. Just switch it back to what was working Warne. If it isn't broke, don't fecking try to fix it.

This 4-4-2 with Collins and McG really doesn’t work, just like against Wycombe.
Plenty of time to turn it around but need to get Collins off for one of Sibley or White at HT

Has he?

Thought it was an ironing convention! 

Going to play devils advocate here, I think we have been poor so far, too many wayward aimless passes, our defence looks shaky. Doesn't feel like we are set up properly, Collins hasn't had an impact yet but that maybe due to our poor passing in the final third more than anything.

We can improve a lot on what I have seen so far.

Lovely play by McGodrick to Dobbin, pulls it back but Smiths shot blocked. Lovely football that

Didn’t understand the selection of 2 in midfield on Saturday and I don’t tonight. If Bird was fit tonight Warne would definitely play a midfield 3 of Bird, Hourihane and Knight. He either doesn’t yet trust White, or wants to keep the old group ‘happy’. Hopefully it’s the right call. An early goal would help, otherwise I think this will be a tough night.
4 - 0 it is then.
