Wow! Forest are poor for a Premiership side. They should be playing us off the pitch. Fairly equal at half time both the score and the play. I don't think they have had one chance. Mind you we have not been much of a theat to them either.
Just had a quick look. 4 started in the play off final, 1 was an unused sub, 5 new signings and 1 from their u23s. So a fairly strong side I'd say.
Scoreboard has flickered a couple of times! Looks like Barton has shown Luke Thomas how to stick a foot in anyway
Not sure Helick could play being that he is still injured & Styles has only been back one week so I do not think you can read anything into those two not playing .
I've got a good feeling about this squad. I just hope we sell Helik, Styles and Brittain and bring in a striker. It will have been a decent summer then.
I personally thought he was a complete passenger. The highlights for me were turning his back on a return ball, then getting caught in possession 20 yards out centrally with options on. Prior to him being subbed the attitude stunk. Everybody showed me something today except him.
Other than the brilliant save by Collins, I don’t remember them really threatening. Aitchison, Connell, Brittain and McCarthy all played well, and the rest didn’t really do much wrong. Couldn’t help but think if Norwood is strong and can hold the ball up Aitchison will have a field day picking up second balls.
We need Doland to sign to see best of Atchison. Joking aside he looks like a proper attacking player. Did Jalo come on and shake things up?
No, which I felt was a shame, but Marsh was playing well and Leya Iseka had only been on 20 minutes so it would have been harsh to take him off. I’m not sure if he was ever likely to get a run to be fair seeing as how we already had two strikers on the bench. But I’m sure it was great for him at 16 years old to be part of the first team squad. He’s a much better chance of playing mens football this season with us than going to rot in some premier league academy.
