That was bad

[CarlMcBlade]

It seems we need Chris Wilder in the oppo dugout to get ourselves up and motivated.

That's the problem in October the prediction/hope was survival/don't get relegated. Then it was a chance of playoffs with odd dilusion of catching top 2 now it's back to the good old blades negative. On a personal note finishing top half with the amount of games we have had to play since the New Year is an achievement

Forest played more …. Next

Hecky said mgw was ill last night

Generally yeh. We just seemed to have assembled a team of grafters that lack much ability in my opinion at the expense of an absolute fortune. Look at blackburn for example - their squad is always full of players with ability and flair and done on a lot less.

That's one of the problems for me, today for whatever reason the majority looked like they'd never played before, and if you're that far off all you can do is get stuck in and graft. We don't do that, we just carry on playing slow, full football sprinkled with a few misplaced passes, jogging around and lacking any urgency and desire before giving the inevitable shit goal away.I

A workmanlike side would have beat Stoke today, a good footballing side would have smashed them. We were neither, and lost to a complete pile of shit. Not sure where we go after Coventry and then this.

Is this the first away game you've watched Moz?

I think Maurice Maurice is a proper modern man who needs his safe space

I'm just worried weve totally burnt out.
Dont think the midfield showed up today, we were lacking up top and MGW sempt to just give up after a decent start, Davies was the wrong choice on the right today, Gordon wouldve been a better option in my eyes.
Hourihan or Ozzy shouldve come on earlier.
Berge doesnt look interested at all.
I'm just hoping we havent just given up and decided to settle for the Championship next season!, dont get me wrong, I'm happy for us to be in the championship next season, I actually prefer the game without VAR, because its shit!, but to be in with a chance, we should be fighting hard to finish as high as possible, unfortunately, after todays game, I think the fight has gone??.

The Croatian International would have been the best choice today on the right or in the middle.
I'd play him, Egan and Davies on Tuesday

WTF was that! - you wouldn't believe we were in with a chance of the play offs would you? (especially in the knowledge Forest had just won 4-1 away at Blackpool)..............probably the most lack lusture/couldn't give a fuck performance since the Adkins days.
If I didn't know better (which I don't btw) - you would have thought today the instructions were..............we don't want the play offs/premiership - we aren't ready??
God knows what they do in the week, but conditioning (Fleck/Baldock/Berge/Norwood all looked fucked) crossing (....don't get me started on this one - but Georgios Baldockis FFS - you take this to such a shit level!). I'll bet you any money Ben Davies isn't fit for Tuesday - good player & probably decent lad.........but sick note!.
The 'only' positive' I can take out of today personally was that lad who came on - Osula.............RND was decent for me too, and it looked like a stone wall penalty @ 0-0-?

RND was the spare man countless times today. Had all the space in the world and did nothing with it. His final third output is woeful for a wing back and sadly, Baldocks is rarely better.
Such a shame we lost Bogle. That sort of spark is what we're missing from those wide areas.

The performance yesterday was woeful as have many away days been this season. Tactics and motivation were lacking which I suppose you can fairly lay at the door of the management team. However, I keep reading that our squad should be performing better. Our squad has been absolutely decimated. Look at the quality of the players available yesterday, mainly up front. Without injuries we're firmly cemented in the top six IMO. It is what it is unfortunately and rather than going into meltdown it might be nice to see fans try and help the players out with a bit of backing when they obviously need it.
