[SuperBobbyHatton]

Whose the commentators fcking bias bastards

Think its Don Goodman, he's well biased.

 

[HarryHaslam]

If this was 4 or 5 nil we could have no complaint. Shocking from us so far, defence is so far apart from each other, the middle 3 need to be closer together as there is massive holes, just not sure why coaching staff are not telling them? You would honestly not know we have a back 5 with the amount of holes and space.

 

[SuperBobbyHatton]

Make it to half time and then get it sorted. Defence looks terrible.

 

[JayGreen17]

We’re manic…no composure at all…just settle things down…we need a boro second half performance..

 

[JayGreen17]

Make it to half time and then get it sorted. Defence looks terrible.

All over the ducking place

 

[SuperBobbyHatton]

Even forest fouls are superb according to Goodman.

 

[Captain2]

Men against boys need a bollocking at HT

 

[toledo]

We are incredibly lucky to be only 1 down… still have time to turn this around to make this an advantage to take to Forest

 

[A Storm of Blades]

Goodman is doing my fucking head in.

 

[Melton Blade]

Norwood having a nightmare...

 

[Captain2]

Defence all at sea

 

[steve26272]

Whatever Hecky said at half time v QPR needs to be turbo’d and repeated

Hopefully they can’t be that good/us that wank in the 2nd 45.

 

[Espania blade]

Baldock needs come on

Norwood and Fleck are the problem, they are running through our midfield

 

[HarryHaslam]

Norwood done nothing but give it away

 

[originaltrueblade]

Fuck me sort it out Hecky

 

[Headshrinker]

Got in to some decent positions early. Poor final balls.

Then lost all shape and got ripped apart on counter attacks.

 

[United Aren't Back.]

Norwood and Fleck are the problem, they are running through our midfield

Fleck especially has only fucked moves up and sliced a Forest player off the ball for a yellow.

 

[jono_t2000]

Front 3: Not been at the races today

Midfield: poor distribution giving ball away for them to break

Defense: Really struggling to stick with them.

Foderingham: Keeping us in the match

 

[Welshblade]

Norwood and Fleck are the problem, they are running through our midfield

They just aren't quite fast enough, every time berge, osborn, ndiaye or gibbs-white are tunning into the box we need one of them on the edge of the box where theres no defenders ready to lace it as an option. But they are still on the halfway line.

 

[London based Blade]

We have to bring Baldock on at half time. We currently have no attacking threat down the right side. Not Osborne’s fault, he’s left footed. Need a big 2nd half

 

[BangorBlade]

Think its Don Goodman, he's well biased.

Them 2 wankers are themsens

 

[SuperBobbyHatton]

Still in this and we always play better second half! We could be down and out so this is a position to work from.

 

[yorkshirecoast]

Wasteful when in good attacking positions and absolutely pathetic defensively.

 

[HarryHaslam]

Defence need to be tighter, a hell of a lot tighter as the space is unreal.

Midfield 3 need to wake the hell up as they have been non existent

Up front we need quality, when we get space and putting a ball across the box we do daft stupid dinks into the keepers arms or we blast it across the box again onto the keepers arms. When Forest are in the same position they just side foot pass to their player in the box, no daft dinks or blasts just pass the ball.

 

[Inter_blade83]

Started brightly, controlling possession etc, created a bit but poor final balls. Of we get that pen before their goal or Egans header goes in, this is a completely different game.

It was like we started panicking and now we're chasing shadows.

Composure is needed in the final 3rd. We're good enough to still do this.

 

[Millhousesblade1889]

I don’t think Osborn slipping makes a difference, same outcome it’s just unfortunate he did

 

[BangorBlade]

I think Baldock needs to come to on give us some balance , and then the REAL Sheffield United team that came out in the second half against Reading needs to come out

 

[Chingo]

Midfield being over run and no protection for the defence , sort it Hecky!

 

[jt64]

This is terrible, if it was four we couldn't complain. Has Fleck touched the ball?

 

[Flumps]

Simply, Poor.

Forest unlucky not to be up by a couple more. The squad needs to realise the importance of this leg and actually do something if we're going to get anything out of this.
