It was not a pleasant watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerTedd Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 I'm glad they let in that goal in the last minute though. I was about to come on here and call it a draw. Both loosing 3-0 at home to top class premier league opposition. No real points to score for anyone there. But then they went and lost 4-0, so they're still shitter than we are! Silver linings.

It was not a pleasant watch. He didn't really rotate half the team - the only changes that weren't forced were Baird, Johnson and Mitchell. And of those Johnson and certainly Mitchell made a case for more first team action in the league. However we could have played any of our teams from the last 5 years and would still have got taken apart against what was basically the first string Liverpool side.

As much as I hate to admit it I do think that your academy has been producing more decent quality players than us for a while. Or at least they are actually utilising some of the talent you are producing. Mel might have put a lot of money into our academy, but it is very rare any of the academy products actually get a chance in the team - money isn't everything as we have all seen. Elsnik and Lowe have only really played in the cup, so it'll be a while until we actually see them again now. We sold Hendrick, but Hughes is our best player, so that is something at least I suppose. We also don't have to trade any potential talent for a handful of magic beans like you guys, so that is also a positive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ye sit looked like a reserve team but with Carson, Forsyth, Shackell, Thorne Russell and Hanson injured plus Vydra Anya and Wilson cup tied and Martin sent to Coventry/ Fulham it was quite close to the strongest side he could put out.

Cam the Ram Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 We lost 2-1 to a team who has won the Premier League within the last 25 years and Forest lost to a team who haven't won the top division for over 80 years. So who's the real winners here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
