[FriethBlade]

Keep hold of the ball ffs, we are putting it on a plate for them

 

[SuperBobbyHatton]

Our ball retention is very poor, sloppy all over the pitch tonight.

 

[JPSharpy93]

Really missing quality in our wingback positions

 

[derfblade.3]

Siriki out of his depth

 

[BangorBlade]

Robinsons been good

 

[JPSharpy93]

Siriki out of his depth

He is but least he isn’t for the lacking of trying. He’s putting himself about

 

[LewishamBlade]

Siriki out of his depth

He’s literally barely been involved

 

[GKhantRebel]

First half for me:

Very sloppy in possession

Florist's pace is causing big problems

Wes is a fuckin' hero

Seriki has done okay, going forward, a bit nervy at the back (shirt pull?!? Lucky escape)

Ref is a bit of a knob

Atmosphere is a bit meh,.I think everyone is a bit nervous

 

[William Large]

Very poor first half. Can’t cope with high press and passing woeful. Need something more upfront I’m afraid.

 

[Stevo]

Siriki out of his depth

He looks nervous but he seems to want to get involved

 

[William Large]

Siriki out of his depth

I agree mate. Big game to give a young inexperienced kid his first start

 

[BangorBlade]

He is but least he isn’t for the lacking of trying. He’s putting himself about

He got better as the half went on and settled into it

 

[Bobby b]

Poor 1st half from us, forest definitely the better team, Robinson has been quite solid, egan hasn't, berge needs to carry the ball more in the second half, they cant get it off him, and that will open things for sharp and mgw. Again if we get owt from this game weve got league 1 wes to thank

 

[GKhantRebel]

Need MGW and Berge to get more into it and give them something to worry about.

 

[BobblesBlade]

Is this where Jebbison becomes the young Billy Sharp. Left out until he leaves?

 

[SUFCinks]

We were quite poor.

 

[jono_t2000]

Foderingham, Fleck, Berge and Robinson get a pass mark.

Everyone else hang your head in shame, that was god damn awful.

Is Egan playing for Forest? Set them up for attack after attack

RND and Seriki both having a torrid time.

Sharp and mgw balls just bouncing off them.

 

[KeyffSmyff]

Hoping that a bit of a chat at halftime will put us right. Would be worried if roles were reversed that dominated chances and not taken any. We have a few more gears to go.

 

[Chilttheblade]

Is Sharp playing?

 

[HarryHaslam]

He’s literally barely been involved

Are you not seeing his positioning? I am a big supporter of the young players but you don’t have to be involved on the ball too much to be poor. I am putting it down to nerves so hopefully he improves but his defending and positional sense are miles off what we need.

 

[BladesOnToast]

He looks nervous but he seems to want to get involved

I'd rather see a Seriki giving it a go than a McBurnie-type strolling around the pitch. Look at his movement with the Berge chance.

 

[FatPaul]

Robinson MOTM POTM so far for me.

 

[robbiez666]

That Egan first touch needs some work....

Very lucky to be going in level. Some terrible passing at the back. Looked okish going forward but not really on the same wavelength.

Highlight of the half was Norwood trying to take Davies out and getting absolutely no joy.

 

[shrubbery]

Absolutely fucking woeful.

 

[Nagima]

The glaring obvious is legs. We don't have it.
They are getting up and down the pitch and even though their midfield wouldn't be classed a skillfull they are dogged.
Egan having a mare.
RND not good enough.
Seriki too raw yet...poor first touch and poor to react in time to a forward pass.
Berge is back to his previous form. One or two nice things and then disappears.
Lucky to be nil all. Big improvement required if we are to get something out of this game.

 

[Chilttheblade]

Surely it’s worth giving Jebbison a run

 

[shrubbery]

Some of the worst ball retention of the season. Their high press and energy is scaring the shit out of our defence.

 

[CornwallBlade]

Very poor first half. Can’t cope with high press and passing woeful. Need something more upfront I’m afraid.

Completely agree please let Jebbison have a run out. If he puts McBurnie on instead…….

 

[JPSharpy93]

They look a really good team and have done a good job on us so far. Press press press, beating us at our own game of winning the ball high up the pitch

 

[Half Bond Jls]

Wank half. Hope the team talk gets a reaction.
