Anyone else notice the Forest bias in the TV coverage? 1. Bassett talked about "us" when refering to Forest 2. Only showed dejected Forest fans at the end, no celebrating Reds fans to be seen 3. Constantly talked about "shock scoreline" when we were 5 points in front of Forest at the start of the match This is typical of the TV coverage we get, the only exception to this general rule was when we were briefly the media darlings in the Prem.
Who gives a sh*t. Let's just get on with getting promoted without any fuss and then stick two fingers up the lot of them. LOOK AFTER NUMBER 1 that's what I say! (givinfinger)
It was fairly obvious they were hoping for a forest win. Even my other half noticed. First time I've seen us play for a while and whilst I understand I was quite privaliged to see us put a performance like that in. I was actually shocked at how composed we looked throughout the pitch. The odd defensive error is to be expected at this level, although my heart was in my mouth once or twice, I thought we looked really good at the back. Carbon and Hassel stood out for me. Shuker I'm guessing is liking watching Ronaldo for Man U, looked quite determined but most things he did or tried came to nothing. An obvious talent though, but I'm guessing when he's not 'in the zone', he probably looks a bit headless. McPhail and Burns were outstanding, I think McPhail must get tarnished with some kind of burden to do something out of the ordinary every time he plays. What we have to accept is that this is the level he's playing and therefore that's the level he should be judged by. What level he used to play has no bearing on what level he's playing now and it's unfair to judge him against that criteria. I think we're lucky to have a player with his technical ability and should we go up, he'll be one of the players that is still important to us. Great game.
Likewise, that was only the third game I've seen this season And I thought they looked pretty good. Helped by the fact that Forest have spunked lots of dosh of two puddings up front. One thing struck me, which really comes to light during a televised match, and thats that Shuker really does have a massive slaphead
