Nottingham Forest Post Match Thoughts

[caytonmiller]

Couldn't help admiring how when we won the ball at times we weren't afraid to pass it around and through the defence.

Really! We've improved massively

Agree the passing was v good though I would like us to keep possession a bit more. It's good we look to get the ball forward quick but around 60-65 minutes we needed to keep the ball not go looking for a 2nd

As usual I've seen nothing of the game but sometimes reading on here you would think we had a team of 18 clowns playing for RUFC and not a team who on Saturday lost in the 96th minute to a penalty to a recent Premiership team and tonight have taken a point away at a team that only missed out on last years playoffs in the last 10 minutes of the last game.

Just saying

[Silly-miller]

Please remember we are playing a side with real quality and a new manager effect and away from home, I actually thought ladapo did well and he looks a more rounded player. Yes we road our luck but it's a good point. We are trying to play a bit more, confidence will be key with that. It will be a roller coaster this season but we are in the games and not getting steam rollered every game like before

So much quality they lost all games but one before they played us

That being said I thought a point was a fair result they hammered our defence for twenty mins but the main thing that we can take from this is the silly mistakes have gone

Apart from the one where Ike played Grabban clean through, only for him to miss an open goal.

Generally speaking our improvement graph is still going up. Unlike previous visits to the Championship we aren’t the whipping boys anymore

Whether we’ve improved enough to stay there only time ( and injuries) will tell.

We are averaging a point a game which if maintained would probably keep us up, also so far we aren’t accumulating a big negative number in goal difference.

Not fabulous but improving never the less

I think Blackman may have picked an injury up, on two occasions I noticed he seemed to be walking oddly, just our bloody luck now he’s settling in

On FB he's picked up a injury ☹️

MOMs Blackman, Lyndsey (why take him off by the Way), Miller.

I was praying that Lindsay would be taken off before he got sent off. He had been booked and was still flying into tackles. We've finished enough games with 10 men so it was the right decision in my opinion.
However, if Lyndsay hadn't been booked I thi k Crooks would probably have gone because he was poor. I lost count of how many fouls he conceded and how often he gave the ball away.
I'm a big fan of Tree but it may be time to rest him for a few games.
The team selection for the Reading game will be interesting.

We prob need 10 defenders but I'm not sure we have enough

We were lucky last night, if the score had been 4. 1 we couldn't have complained. Happy with the point tho. I haven't changed my mind bout us being in the bottom half of the table all season. I like to think I'm being realistic and if I'm wrong and we stay up I will be ecstatic
