Van der MoodHoover Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Yes, it is. Forsyth is a weak link in this side - he's a good left back at times but he's far too fragile and susceptible to making mistakes. Time for a rest and to allow Warnock a proper go in the side.

tomsdubs Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Fozzy stays in for me, one bad game and people go crazy. Looked like one of the better players for Scotland last night, some great runs and crosses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambitious Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 If Forsyth could keep the ball better then he'd be a very good option for any Premier League side.As Alpha said, defensively, he's outstanding more often than not. Look at the Forest games, Shotton was ran ragged by Antonio and when he was up against Forsyth, he was absolutely marshaled out the game. Forsyth is a must for me, whether it be at CB or LB.

Curtains Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Not being funny but Forsyth is hopeless. Both fullbacks Christie and Forsyth are hopeless get Shotton and Warnock in before it's too late 2 out of 18 points is hopeless and both made big mistakes .

Gritstone Ram Posted April 4, 2015 Author Share Posted April 4, 2015 Watfords second goal came from a aimless punt from Forsyth then he was left flapping while the Watford player ran passed him.We are leaking goals like a cullender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uptherams Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 I think given the attacking quality we have, it is time that our full backs just focused on being defenders again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike93rh Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Jeez mate. Its only a few seasons ago we had mighty Gareth Roberts and at away matches then we did well to get to 5 mins without conceding down our left side.I think we have been spoilt and I don't think we are shipping goals down our left are we? mainly through middle I thought.Don't mean to come off as smug but nothing's improved since I made that last post, think it's definitely time to give Forsyth a rest now and let him get his confidence back.

Would you have us believe that wherever Forsyth happens to be playing defines the weak spot in our defence and where we ship goals?If that's the case then I just don't happen to agree - I think the defence as a collective doesn't look cohesive or even particularly well trained at present and changing/resting one player would not solve anything. And hasn't over the past few weeks.I do agree it isn't improving tho..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YorkshireRam Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 In regards to the defence, I would bring Christie and Forsyth back into the starting XI on Saturday.I'm hoping a break from the team will have done them good and they'll come back in looking sharper and ultimately re-find their form. With 3 games remaining and play-offs looming on the horizon, it's important now to find a settled back 4 with a natural cohesiveness because as of late, we've been conceding goals far too easily. For the remaining games and hopefully play-offs, I think the back 4 should be: Christie Keogh Albentosa Forsyth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albentosa has the makings of a good player and was better against Brentford. We have to give him a chance to grow into the club, the team and the country. But each of them appears to be struggling for good form and confidence which won't suddenly return.With two tough away games coming up I would keep last night's back four together and hope that Whitbread stays fit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That back 4 scares me.That's our best back 4 though. What about it scares you out of interest?Forsyth's distribution has been poor and Christie went through a spell of bad form but Keogh and Albentosa have been pretty solid in my opinion. If we can't beat Huddersfield, a comfortably mid-table team with nothing to play for, with that back 4, we don't deserve to finish in the top 6!

1977 Ram Raider Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Reckon it'll be the same back 4 as last night, we got a clean sheet, mclaren won't change a winning formula, oh hang on..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can't beat Huddersfield, a comfortably mid-table team with nothing to play for, with that back 4, we don't deserve to finish in the top 6!Why is that our best back 4? They scare me as I think on current form they would concede goals and make a load of basic errors. Christe has been struggling for months and confidence is shot, Albentosa hasn't proved anything yet thus why he keeps losing his place (also they say he is better suited to the right side), Keogh will play and Forsyth and Warnock there doesn't really look much between them. I think the Albentosa has been a flop thus far, I was at the training ground when he signed and our Chief exec and Head of football were very proud of securing him and he was going to help us secure automatic, class act etc. He hasn't looked any better than what we have. I know its early and he may turn out a top player (I personally don't see it) and he has to adapt etc but he was brought for this season to improve us and he hasnt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albentosa has been solid, no major mistakes. Forsyth is better suited to our defence due to his aerial capabilities which puts him ahead of Warnock in my book.What would be your back 4 out of interest?
