Billy Davies

Nottingham Forest boss Billy Davies: "I felt very comfortable in the first 45 minutes, we were very good. Total domination.

"In the second half it was complete and utter self-destruct. If you look at the goals we have lost it's individual errors without naming names. And then we give them a huge lift and then at the end they had more hunger. We wish Sheffield United all the very best.

"I've got no issue at all with regard to kick-off times and whether the draw is made before or after the game. I've no issue with Nigel Clough either. I wished him the best before the game."



Sorry but Billy Davies is a sore loser.

he sounds quite magnanimous in defeat to me.

I wonder if he has a change of clothes, all I ever see him wearing is the white shirt with dog eared collar and that scruffy looking blue jumper, feckin tramp.

 

[Esablade]

Ah well..he'll be down Attercliffe later..

I was reading the Forest forum earlier (while waiting for this place to reappear).

Some fans are accusing him of disrespecting the cup with negative tactics and team selection and that they aren't relishing their next league game against Leicester.

Most were fairly positive about our organisation even though they accused us of lacking quality and of waiting for them to make mistakes.

Seems relatively gracious in defeat for his standards, although I don't think they were anywhere near 'total domination' in the first half. Thought it was quite similar to the Fulham first half, Howard had nothing of note to do in the first apart from some routine (and well executed) catches etc. we could have been 1 or 2 up had scougall and Baxter finished better.

I'd say overall it was quite a balanced game, in which we got some breaks that they perhaps did not. Thought howard made some fantastic saves in the second half.

`total domination`
bollocks shitwasp

 

[BornOnShorehamStreet]

We had 37% possession I think. Winning 3-1 with those stats is quality

sounds like his irksome nature is towards certain of his own staff , respect after going out of the cup always carries a smidgeon of disgruntlement but he at least offered some courtesy

I refer you to a previous thread where I state stats are meaningless , except the number of goals scored ones

 

[Guesty]

How am I meant to hate him when he's all gracious like that (overestimation of their first half aside)? For fuck sake Billy, you twat.

Oh, there we go.

 

[Karaoke Blade]

'waiting for them to make mistakes' I've heard it all now!

I agree but still an awesome feat

To me Forest did everything they could to win the game, but got beaten by a better side.

Stats don't win games, possession would be interesting in the final 3rd

I agree but if you had 0% possession you wouldn't whereas if you have 100% possession you win every time.

Stuffing the opposition 3-1 with 37% is extremely good use of that possession.

You could draw 0-0

The official site match report has possession as 50-50. However, it also has 0 bookings and 0 yellow cards for both sides too!

 

[boo radley]

14 shots each but we had ten on target to their five.
We were better and if his assessment of the 1st half was 'total domination' his sex life is shit.

First half they had one shot on target, their goal. We had four!

 

[GRUMPY BLADE]

You could draw 0-0

Especially with our strikers

 

[Brisca Blade]

In todays paper it has the action areas of the pitch. 49% in the central third, 26% in forests attacking third and 25% in the blades attacking third.
