They’re just thinking ahead for their champions league/European cup return

They’re just thinking ahead for their champions league/European cup return

Think we’ve had a tough start really, some good sides who I expect all to be top half at least 

Maybe it’s to incorporate their ever growing subs bench?

Wildsmith  7 - great one on one save first half.
Knight 7
Stearman  6.5
Cashin 9
Roberts 7
Sibley - 6.5 (7.5 in first half anonymous in second)
Bird 6.5 - again pulled down by second half performance 
Hourihane  6.5 - showed class in first half and with that cross for Collins chance but also struggled second half
Mendez-Laing 7 - what a goal but was done 5 mins into second half clearly wasn’t going to run anymore 
Barkhuizen 7.5 - kept going, threat first half quality assist should’ve been subbed 15 mins earlier 
Collins 6.5 
Smith 6
Dobbin 6
Forsyth 6.5
It’s clear to see where our problem was - the massive drop off in midfield second half. Probably due to the heat. Need to check the bench again before being too critical but Rosenior has to use 5 subs in that heat!! Think that was a factor, Barkhuizen could barely run for the last 10 mins he was on!!

This is there mo though. Until recently and I believe cooper steadied the ship, they had a ridiculously bloated squad with a real scatter gun approach to recruitment. It didn’t work then, and now they’re returning to it.

Well my 5 year old fancied an afternoon with her grandma so my 3 year old went to her first game!! Can’t believe she sat through it and seemed to enjoy it!! She’s been banging on at me to take her but at 3 thought she was way too young (especially as she terrorised the cinema when we went to see sing 2!)  It helped the people in front weren’t there today so she could kick the seat in front to her hearts content. 
 
As for the game. The conditions played a huge part. Don’t think I’ve ever been to a game as hot as that. Early in second half it was clear they had no more to give. Players like Bird Sibley and Barkhuizen who were prominent first half struggled second. Sibley was invisible second half the Smith substitution was to regain control of midfield it didn’t work as the momentum had shifted.  Although Barnsley were on top they scored a lucky goal which is what gave them the extra push to put us under the cosh. 
Overall we got away with one but one thing today demonstrated was at this level we have firepower and we’re clinical. 
 
On paper our first three games are pretty tough and we’ve come through them with 6 points out of 9 with a newly patched together squad with less preseason than everyone else. Not bad if you ask me.
Cashin is outstanding (I said he would be in league one team of the year and he’s confirming it) and Collins will score very soon and will bang in several this season.

Steve Cooper 18/1 with Sky Bet to be first manager to go. I’ve had a cheeky bet.
With spending all this cash Maranakis will be expecting better than just survival, if it starts badly Cooper could go. Let’s be right, for all they bang on about being such a well run club, Maranakis’ approach to managers and players has been scattergun throughout his tenure with several bad signings and bad appointments. He’s as volatile as they come. They stumbled across Cooper last season, the stars aligned and they got promoted yet to hear them it was all years in the planning!!
We all know Forest’s best bet is give Cooper at least 2 years, if they go down he’s their best chance to bounce straight back, but leopards don’t change their spots. If Forest are in the relegation mire in November before the World Cup he’ll be asking questions and will probably make his move. In fact I think that’s when most clubs will make their changes.
