first of all was nice to go to a match without being frozen. Good atmos from the reds fans... a tidy number went... well done to us all. Plus points, a good solid defensive display and some excellent keeping from Steele, together with some bad misses from them. Minus points, we were appalling in midfield creativity and when the ball did get through to the forwards they showed nothing at all, apart from when Dags came on and did more in his spell than Jason did all the time. I have never seen a ball bounce off a player more than it did with him, his control was shocking. Sorry to appear negative in this time of peril but we needed to have much more up front, and I guess we had no more than a couple of attempts on goal all game. At the end the players looked dead on their feet but still did well to keep Forest out. But having seen Hull on Friday night I thought they were poor so if we can get some divine inspiration for next Sat then we could certainly cause an upset.
I think it was pretty clear what the game plan was! The lads didnt look interested in attacking! Seemed happy with a point! But was always going to be hard to create anything. With mellis and perks holding more or less all game. And I think forest probably have the best all round midfield in the league
Kelvin and Rory back next week, will give us much more in midfield Steele Kennedy Wiseman Cranie Delap Mellis Perkins Etuhu Cywka O'Grady Dagnall With a full week recovery, plus Conan's internationally renowned fatigue strategies, we should be all guns blazing for Hull
We need to get on the front foot agai and start taking it to the opposition and creating chances. weve gone out in the last few game with the intention of not losing rather than winning. Today when we did get a chance with we trying to walk it in and just got tackled
I agree, we need Ethu back in middle. Put Daggers on first then Harewood or Scotland last 20 min We need Dawson back for Huddersfield
