    Forest v Millers Aftermatch thoughts

    As CAM is leaving on a jet plane and froggy May be groggy from too much plonk I've put this thread up.

    Will put my views up later, Positive, Negative and Nuetral opinions accepted.

    Btw...I did go and we deserved a point.

    Aside from the usual, homer ref's, bad luck, and rubbish away end, we were competitive today again, but the harsh truth is we've got nil points from it, i'm not giving any answers, PW is obviously doing a great job getting us close to results, is that enough? in this division, with the amounts of cash most other teams have, we'll have to wait and see, onto the next one lads....

    We deserved something but didn’t get anything.

    I didn’t agree with Proctor starting over Smith, (not saying he was crap ) needs to be opposite way until Proctor is 100% fit then see how it works
    Williams should have been subbed.
    Jones had a good game and was my MOTM , hope he stays fit

    Lino definitely needs to make an appointment at opticians ASAP.

    If you give the player a yellow in first half then you should give him one in second for exactly the same thing you bottler ref ��

    Highlight, home fans idiots getting chucked out, was good to see the steward grab his ear to get him out ��

    Not good to see a little lad who was near them crying his eyes out though

    In the last 5 away games we've scored just once - a consolation goal in a 5-1 defeat. Need to bring in a goalscorer - possibly a "free agent" as soon as possible (although after Blackstock that's unlikely), if not, then somebody in January (although that might be too late)

    Kind of agree but that's our fundamental problem isn't it mike....personally i think if we stay as positive and defensively solid, like we have today by and large, then we'll be ok, penalty apart there's nowt between those teams that played today...

    Our tactics were good. Forest were poor in the 1st half, but upped the tempo after the break and created more chances, including one that hit the post when it looked easier to score.

    We carry a threat from set pieces, but lack pace and/or creativity up front. Smith is very good, but isn't a natural goalscorer at this level. We broke well from defence on several occasions, but the passing wasn't good enough to carry the threat through to their goal area.

    You could see the penalty coming; Williams(?) didn't anticipate the overlapping runner and it was a desperate lunge.

    Even though we have to record a point on our travels, the players were very positive. Can't find fault with anyone today; neither can I say that there was a clear MoM. Vaulks played well, and Jones, and Ajayi.

    I honestly think we are getting closer to competing at this level you could see how disappointed the players were when they left the field that definitely hurt them today

    Plenty of games left we will get wiser as the season goes on imho of course ( unlike some on here I don't give opinions as though they are facts )

    Hmmm....maybe, but he’s going to have to be a a pretty spectacular player to score for us when we have 35% of the play, turn out with one up front and spend most of the match camped out in our own half.
