Report:
I personally thought that we should have won the game today. If we are to be a mid table team then we should be coming away with 3 points away to the bottom of the league. Although I have given average ratings, this is only because no one really stood out. I aint saying we played poor cos we didnt. We were the best side against a very poor forest team who had 2 or 3 half chances and put one away.

Macken and Foster had clear chances and should have put them away. Campbell Ryce wasnt at his best today and got found out a bit today by the forest back 4. Souza and foster were solid enough but Dennis got caught out for the goal and lost his marker and he headed it in. Hassell and Kozzie were consistant again, colace wasnt in the game today, odejayi wasnt up to much and macken was average. Whaley put in some good crosses in the first half but got taken off early in the 2nd for the lively cureton.

Cureton looks good. He has some good movement and will get himself in some good positions. Given a few games and fitness he will be a good aquisition. Heinz made a couple of good stops but apart from that had hardly nothing to do. If a game was won on corners then we would have battered them. Forest had a good spell at the end of the 1st and beginning of the second but apart from that they were poor. We lacked a cutting edge today, we seemed to play the football but create little in terms of goalscoring chances. Anderson stood out today, he did everything easy and looked composed on the ball always looking to recieve and create.

All in all i have come home gutted, we werent fanatastic or poor but i really went down looking forward to the game and expected 3 points. At half time i would have taken the point just because of the fact we were 1-0 down AWAY. Nothing much to complain about bar the result. No player stood out or let the team down. If i had to sum it up in one word i would say average. I look forward to seeing more of cureton and the next 3 games will be hard but we have had hard run ins in the past and have taken somethin out of them. Id be happy with 4 points from the next 3 games.

 

I'd be ecstatic if we get 4 pts from the next 3 games!!
I'd even take 2 now if it were offered.

 

Hassell 7? Odejayi played as well as Colace?

Suppose its just based on personal opinion but i disagree with most of what you have put.

 

Average about sums the performance up. Nobody had a great game, some played ok, most were average or less. Thought Foster, Koz, Muller, and Anderson played ok. My ratings are:

Muller 7 (MoM)
Hassell 7
Souza 6

Kozluk 7
