Very Poor Second Half

[KingCharlieGeorge]

We need to sort out who's going to play the DCM role. It cost us dearly today. Our midfield had no balance or shape to it. Mascarell is a good player but not a DCM. I thought that was one of the roles Shotton could play? Bryson was anonymous and you can't afford to effectively have only 10 players. Too much wishful thinking in playing him today I feel.

It shows how much we rely on Will Hughes. 2nd half performance was pretty much the same as every time Hendrick and Bryson play together.

The poorest i have seen us play this season. Forest did a job on us second half, a job which other teams have also done successfully this season, pressure us high up the pitch and not let us play.
I would also like to see shotton in as the CDM until Thorne is fit.
In some ways this game reminded me of the play off final, another half ****d clearance from Keogh led to the first goal, and then having to watch over the top celebrations from an unsavory bunch in the posh seats at the end.
We have kept Pearce in his job for a few more weeks, but he is still a dead man walking.

We were ****ing ****e.

Worst half I've seen this season. Midfield went missing. Too deep and too frantic. Bent substitution was madness - opened it up even more for them.

Bent for Martin would have made sense and taking Bryson off for... take your choice, probably Coutts for combative duty.

Blaming Mascarell is harsh. All poor. Mainly management tho.

Midfield wasn't awful, it was ****ing irrelevant

It was down to Forest's superior game plan again. Putting Teshe on him was a masterstroke.

[Toggles]

Was it?

I'm trying to find an analogy to sum up what you needed to do to win today...

Baker... Do you want a free cake?

forest fan... Yeah, ok

Hednrick and Bryson for me were **** poor and the Bent substitution made no sense, and he didint make any others even when it was clear that pearce's change of tactics and the loss of hUghes meant we couldn't keep the ball.
