Match Day Thread: Nottingham Forest v The Mighty Blades

[Bruce Wayne]

Is it?

 

[Pittsburg Blade]

Shite defending...we’ve been way too sloppy.

Might have helped if we played Stearman.

Way too sloppy. Freeman and Norwood in particular.

No threat upfront.

 

[bromtom]

Norwood having a bit of a stinker, we've not been that bad anywhere but Fleck and Freeman aren't as lively as usual and we've been a little anonymous.

Let's see what the subs do.

 

[Pittsburg Blade]

Not enjoyed that one bit. Forest were very ordinary and there for the taking. Bad defending by Freeman led to the goal. He had a bad game. Very disappointing performance. Sloppy all round. Should have won that, true promotion candidates would have got a result.
Got to agree with Edwards though. I wouldn’t want to watch that Forest team every week. Ugly.

 

[BiggerBladeThanThou]

Forest quickly becoming a bogey team away from home.

 

[bromtom]

Never really in that for me. Missed McG and were better when he came on, but passes overhit, anonymous players in parts.

Plenty of chances I suppose but just didn't look like scoring.

What happened to our corners being a threat?

Cranie did well, Freeman and Norwood didn't have great games for me. Really really really missed Bash.

Can't complain with the result to be honest. Not good enough with the opportunities we got.

Hopefully we've got Duffy back for Wednesday on Friday.

 

[Klinge]

Watching on ifollow. Too many loose balls. Not good enough in the tackle. Never seemed to get above second gear. Even so thought we deserved the draw.

 

[Iffy Onuora's Shiny Head]

1 shot on target according to the stats

 

[Valleyblade]

Meh.

It really could have gone either way, like most championship games.

They got a break, we didn't.

Our football was far sexier than theirs though.

No disgrace here. When's the next match?

 

[Roygbiv]

Carbon copy of the Bristol City game. Think these tight nothing games are where we really fall short. No spark to win it ourselves and unable to keep a clean sheet. Wilder must look to the bench when we are losing and think "oh fuck"

Not sure what more can be done to be honest. We just don't have the squad to turn these games in our favour and can't keep a clean sheet so it's down to maintaining our record against the poorer sides.

 

[Addison]

Why did we not start with McGoldrick in the No. 10 position? We scored 4 goals last week. Playing a flat midfield three doesn't seem to work. Duffy a big miss.

I really hope that is the very end of the flat 3 in midfield. It simply doesn't work.

Hoping he wouldn't have to risk McG getting a yellow and giving himself an even bigger headache for Friday? No McG when we don't know if Duffy will be fit would be a bit of a bollock.

As it was we looked better when he came on almost immediately, but almost everyone else had bad spells or a bad game in general.

One point dropped for me, didn't deserve more than that.

Move on to Friday, hopefully with a fully fit squad.
