Forest (A) Match Thread

[SaintRam]

Paterson immediately creates an opening for Marriott; saved but spilled. Evans then has the ball stolen from him and Forest counter.

Yep bad challenge but the Ref shouldn’t have allowed the play to have progressed past the first foul on Lawrence

We're going to lose this after giving them an absolute gift. They aren't that good, they just haven't dropped any huge clangers.

So frustrating.

You're watching a different game. I thought we were OK first half but since half time it's all gone seriously wrong.

Obviously i am. We had no chances at all after the first 20 minutes. The ball didnt even get to the strikers. We did well in the first half in that we didnt concede and managed to keep forest relatively quiet - defensively we looked alright, but attacking we were abysmal. Its been the Alamo second half.

For allowing two fouls against him. Yes, the final foul from Lawrence is ugly, but he's off balance after two Forest players tried to split him in half. The whistle should've come long before it did.

Shinnie and Evans must be keen gardeners. They want the grass in that centre circle to grow

Useless. Pointless. 

Cocu once again ignore a full half hour of a glaring problem. Like at Hull.

Yep. Gifted them the goal but no less than they deserve based on the second half after an ever first 45 minutes.

We were good until Bielik went back to centre half

Sky commentator: “teeing up Marriott”

How did he know?!

[jimbo jones]

Bloody hell, how’s that not gone in

[JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta]

Oh Jack, that's a sitter.

[SaintRam]

Bogle heads a cross down to Marriott 6 yards out, but he htis it with his shin and its saved.

Should be 1-1

I agree. As i said previously it should have been the other wsy round. Bielik stay where he was and evans into defence.

That was a straight red for Lawrence. Extremely lucky to be on the pitch.

As was Yates for that tackle on Matt Clarke.

I can't believe we put Evans in the midfield and not at centre back. I don't mind Bielik there, but we lose too much in the midfield without him.

[Pottig]

Marriott has to bury that. Sums up our second half.

[John_The_Waff]

Our passing can be unbelievable one minute, then non league standard the next

Yep surely Cocu can see that Evans is being bypassed in that midfield.

There’s an easy switch Beilik and Evans, evans can do a decent job at CB and Beilik can drive the midfield on.....we have no presence in their at the moment!

[SaintRam]

This problem is more than just swap Bielik and Evans though, there's no guarantee that would improve things even if most of us think it would. This all really speaks to our huge depth problem at CB.

Needs to be rectified in January, so we don't need to have discussions about which player it's best to take out of midfield.

I haven't seen that one yet but I gather it was.
