Nottingham Forest v Sheffield United - 30/09/2017

Just watched first half live. Great stuff from the lads. Keep this up we will take something from the game. Poor goals to concede but that's gone now.

 

[Scooter_mcgavin]

Can't grumble with how we're playing, it's fantastic stuff.

We will score again I'm sure, but not sure how tight we will be at the back.

we'll be fine now jake is on

Need a little bit of pace and trickery in and around the box to unlock these. Things are happening, but the balls not falling. Could be ideal for DB

 

[Borbokisfreekick]

Good half of football.

We're poor at the back today - CVV has been poor, hopefully Wright being back there now will help.

Dominated the ball, got into some good areas.

The first 15 mins we were playing too many hopeful balls and crosses into the box, once we got it down and started working into the box on the ground we created more clear chances, just need more of a cutting edge in the box, maybe bring Clarke on for Donaldson (been poor), Brookes could un lock them as well.

Could go either way, if we keep defending like we have done then will probably loose 4 or 5 - 2. If we get early equalizer and settle things down at the back, could easily be 4-2 to us!

Both their goals were poor. Amazingly Fleck and JOC at fault - Fleck caught on the ball in his own area and JOC ball-watching leaving a man unmarked 10 yards out.

They are very sloppy at the back as well, but we are trying to walk it in - keep hammering it early and we will score, but we are taking so long and the box gets so congested there's no way through.

Back on the pitch now.

 

[TJB.]

Get the feeling it might not be our day today.

 

[Scooter_mcgavin]

A few players not on it today.

Very sloppy second half so far. Looking like a team that's played one too many games and the break coming up will be a good thing.

 

[Lawrence]

Forest so much on top, forest playing high up the pitch a closing us down, can't get out 'come on blades'

 

[Scooter_mcgavin]

Basham looks absolutely fucked.

 

[Borbokisfreekick]

struggling here, not our day today I don't think.

Asking a lot of Bash playing right wing back, not good enough at this level there and is affecting things. Team look leggy which is understandable. Donaldson poor.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Get Brooks & Clarke on and go after them

 

[Lawrence]

Clark on 'Don off'

 

[Borbokisfreekick]

clarke on should help.

I would get CVV off from brooks, push Bash to right back, Brooks on the right, and go 4-2-3-1 now.

 

[Lawrence]

Better already, now Brooks is on, look a different team. What's that say?

 

[Borbokisfreekick]

we look tired, which is understandable. just not clicking now and you can see the fatigue is kicking in.

 

[Scooter_mcgavin]

This ref is a fucking joke aswell.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

going to finish 3-2 to someone this

Best team in second half so far though, just wish they would go forward when given the chance. Brook doing well, but so frustrating!

we've had more of the ball, but nowhere near the level of quality as we usually have around the box, not as much movement to create the overloads, some stupid shots from distance. Not a criticism as I think its a product of 3 games in 7 days. Just not quite sharp enough today. Forest have been good to be fair, they've tactically been spot on and looked dangerous on the counter.

 

[Ron_Justice]

Midfield look absolutely fucked. Hard minutes and graft showing.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Aren't we due a draw?

 

[Lawrence]

To be honest we have put a lot into the last 15 minutes, chasing, closing down etc. But now we look a bit tired, OK FREE KICK just outside the area..... haw so unlucky

 

[JJ Sefton]

Their goalkeeper isn't having the toughest afternoon.

 

[robbiez666]

What happened to our ability to score from corners?

 

[JJ Sefton]

Ref is crap mind.

 

[Borbokisfreekick]

just one of those days today - tired legs, not quite at our best, Forest have been excellent in my opinion, defended very well, be good in possession when its counted, and taken their chances.

Forest deserve the win, credit where credit is due.

6 points from the last 3 games is a good return, keep that up and we'll finish with 90 points.

 

[Lawrence]

Think we have lost this one

 

[JayGreen17]

What happened to our ability to score from corners?

Or get the ball over the first man

 

[Lawrence]

Hit post, so unlucky
