Val came in, football was effective but wasn't always pretty to watch. I accept that there will be change with a new coach. As the old old adage says let's judge after 10 games. Now 10 games we are in and have to say I am hugely disappointed by this coach's approach, the results have been poor, tactics and failure to change it up when needed a major concern. No wins in last 6, scored just 3 goals in last 6 but conceded 9. I don't knock players efforts, and do believe we have players to be able to compete in this league. But not playing the way we are. Sky commentary team called it last night, 'all over the Schopp' got tactics wrong and failed to change it when clearly not working and only a matter of time until Forest scored. Then still no change and they take they get the win! So frustrating
9 conceded in 6 isn’t good but we can tolerate it. What’s really getting us is the lack of any cutting edge up front. 3 goals in 6 and we’re relying on dead balls for those. We’re toothless; there’s no creativity whatsoever. We could have played while Sunday and not scored in open play.
Shocking performance last night after another on Saturday. We got a penalty but never looked like scoring from open play. Summat gotta change or we will be relegated for sure at this rate.Despite the loss of Mowatt ,this team hasn't changed from a good side to a poor ,disorganised one so quickly. Schopp had better start looking over his shoulder cos his days looked numbered.
As much as last night’s capitulation after they equalised was soul destroyingly bad, it didn’t feel like it was only a matter of time before Forest scored. Thought it was fairly even that second half until they equalised, in fact I’d even say with the way we were pressing and making them panic at the back we were in the ascendancy. Issue being the way we’re set up defensively, combined with Forest being the quickest side I’ve seen in years, the risk on the counter was always there. I was enjoying the second half until the goal, shooting towards the Ponty, hunting in packs, making them flap. We lacked any really quality or power but the effort was there from everyone.
