CheltenhamRam Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Still think they were there for the taking mind. Poor goal to concede but v well taken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cisse Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 I just saw the first hour of the match but Hughes looked good. That Antonio was strong too. A good point all in all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pearl Ram Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Just about sums it up for me Cheltenham, I'd have been chuffed if Martin had tucked that away, come to think of it, I'd have been chuffed if Martin had done anything this aft.

Angry Ram Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 ***** game. Eustace is too slow. The whole transition into attack is too slow. Buxton and Eustace the most guilty most often. Shotton also joined in. They kill us when we're getting pressed in. Thorne solves everything. I've gone from Eustace fan to Eustace doubter. He's so slow at everything Spot on been saying for ages. The other midfielders suffer as Eustace does not supply the creativity so they drop deeper to supply that. When Thorne plays, it frees them up and we start to feed off Martins lay offs. Our success last year was midfielder getting beyond the front man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Navyram Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Thought Dawkins had an excellent second half, I'm with the opinion that fans are just going to slate certain players no matter how poor or good they are playing, I saw someone on twitter moaning about Dawkins staying on but Russell getting subbed when Dawkins was having the much better game, sad times we live in to be honest.

Shottaz Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Really? Funny the bloke he was marking got MOTM. On an earlier point, Keogh left Assombalonga for the goal because Antonio had run through unchallenged. Shotton was behind him and I suspect gave him a shout However, Shotton didn't get a challenge in, even though Assombalonga fell over. Christie for me on Wednesday I take your point, but Antonio looked good, I thought a weaker player at RB would have got totally schooled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry Ram Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Wasn't our success last year mostly with Eustace? In spite of I would say. Not seen their goal yet as have only just got back but was he caught wrong side AGAIN? We miss Thorne so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry Ram Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 It was a difficult game to introduce Mascherel but sooner or later McClaren will have to play him. I agree, McLaren did not have much choice but to play Eustace today. Thy have to work on an alternative in training though. Would still like to see Shotton given a chance there.

Eatonram Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 On LTLT, apparently were a bunch of dirty thugs who brought forest down to our level! I swear if there was a massive sign saying "Make a Dick of yourself here" The Gumps would form a queue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't blame Martin, we didnt use him the way we should. First half it was like we had no midfield. Only thing Martin did wrong today was balloon his 2 shots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbobram Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Also Cohen with another nasty looking injury, never nice too see, made me squirm watching the replay. I wanted to have a go at the forest fans about it after the abuse some of them gave with Thorne but gotta be the better set of fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpondonRam Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Just watched it again Shotton got better has the game went on and got more of a grip on Antonio think the tackle he should have been booked for helped make him a little worried about trying to run him. Got to give the guy a little time to get up to match speed it was only his second game for ages.Not his fault for the goal Keogh left his man to run free and Shotton had to close the distance quickly and could not readjust quickly enough at the speed he was going. We should be more worried at the moment at the lack of impact Bryson is having on games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbobram Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 We should be more worried at the moment at the lack of impact Bryson is having on games. We shouldnt be worried about it. He had an amazing season last year we know how influential he can be, but players do have ups and downs in form. When the team settles he will be back to usual.

CheltenhamRam Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 They were bang average today. There for the taking. As mentioned thought brys getting to the loose stuff was OK. Just a scrappy derby match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alph Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Wasn't our success last year mostly with Eustace? Yeah I was a fan last year. Just think we've sort of become a faster more aggressive team since then and while he can fill in... I dunno if he can help us do what we want to do. I think he's a constant tempo killer and too slow to react to fast attacks by finding a good position. I'm not saying he's ***** though. Just maybe we need something a bit more when the fluidity isn't quite there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VulcanRam Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 In defence of Shotton it was only his second game, he's not going to be match fit, and he's facing one of the league's best wingers. Yes he got skinned early on but second half he handled Antonio much better. And in defence of the two players who get most stick on here - without Keogh we would have lost, simple as. Can't believe people are having a go at him for their goal, and Dawkins I thought played really well second half, playing inside and even left back. Both deserve credit.

Guest Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Has anyone seen the sky highlights? I was out for the day and didn't hear or see the game. From them Derby had no chances from open play and it was all Forest and yet the stats say otherwise. Is this just crap highlights from Sky.....?
