Another game and another defeat. Forest away normally is so no real difference from any past season there. Last time we went there for an August fixture we lost 4-1 so an improvement on that Overall there does seem to be some improvement in the team and the way it plays and anyone who was expecting anything more than mid table at best with this current rebuild is deluded. An unluckiy loss to Derby and now this result shouldn’t set alarm bells ringing but it does heighten the main issue which is a serious lack of attacking prowess. Desperately need midfield invention to challenge and cover the seemingly permanently crocked Swift for…
About time you got your act together
Thought we played well for the most part and didn’t deserve to lose but it’s painfully apparent where we are going to struggle. So impotent up front.
Just got back. I really enjoyed that. Yes we lost, but we weren’t outclassed. We played well and created chances. Forest were no better or worse than us, they created a few half chances....but most of their best chances came from our mistakes. Grabban’s 1 on 1 with Vito, the close header and the goal. I thought Vito played well, but had little chance with the goal. I was impressed with the back 4 and our central midfield. Attacking wise, it seems to be slowly coming together, but we didn’t use Barrow nearly enough. I really like Meite, but he clearly still needs time to develop his game. He has a real hunger and works hard for the…
Seen the long season quotes on quite a few outlets this evening. in truth it won`t be any longer than any other team.

I’m going to start with ratings. Mannone 5 - remarkably unremarkable. Yiadom 7 - quickly becoming my favourite player. Best right back we’ve had for almost a decade. Ilori 8 - hard to pick between him and Yiadom but was once again excellent, mature and commanding performance. McShane 6 - less of a liability but too uncultured often giving away possession by hoofing it where there was perhaps a better option. Is seemingly forming a decent partnership with Ilori though so think it would be harsh to drop him. As much as it pains me to say it I’d persist atm. Blackett 4 - quite a Blackett performance, some good some bad, some very very…
