Albion v Forest team news matchthread

[Leicesterbaggie]

What did we learn from tonight's very poor performance?

1) We are not Man. City so why do we persist in playing it out from the back? Another goal gifted to the opposition.
2) We really miss Hegazi as he stabilises the back four.
3) What do Man. City see in Aderabioyo? He is slow, cumbersome and can't head a ball.
4) We really miss Phillips. When is he going to be fit?
5) I know it's early days but Murphy doesn't instill confidence. He is too easily brushed off the ball and his distribution was shocking.
6) Gayle is wasted playing him out wide.
7) I still think that we will make the play-offs but automatic promotion, I doubt it!

Good summary Leicester buddy.
Early days (!) for Murphy and I’m desperate for him to impress, but very disappointed so far.
Clearly we are going to persist playing it out from the back. Darren in his post match interview confirmed this tactic is preferred to provide better football for us fans to watch! I understand this, but not every time. A long clearance works occasionally...as demonstrated by our goal.
Apart from a short period post equaliser, we did not look interested. Forest were ‘at us’ as will be the Vile.
A much better performance at Witton is essential.

Further to my post on what we learnt from last night's performance, I would like to add the fact that opposition teams have worked us out. The fact that we are playing this possession football from the back means that they play a high line against us which cuts down our options and results in us losing possession which in turn leads to us conceding unnecessary goals.

Correct! That's when a good technical manager can then adapt plan B!!! The match last night was just as shocking as Bolton. Thing is - it's not a one off. I question what changes are made on the training ground.

Livermore - how that guy ever got into the England team defies belief. No confidence in going to Vile and lose that, and we really need to look at options before automatic promotion becomes too late.

We apparently rejected a £25m bid from last night's cap guest craig shakepeare the summer when he was in charge of Leicester.

Add that to the rejected rondon't bid and that is £65m for 2 very average players.
