[Archived] Forest

Solid half. We seem to actually know what we're doing. There might be a plan in place. If we're struggling anywhere, it's down the middle.

Yep, just a lack of creativity in the middle letting us down. Forest are playing two banks of eight at the back which makes things difficult though. Our main tactic seems to be pumping the ball into the box, hoping for a Koita header or Rhodes to pounce on the ball. The central midfielders are mainly there to harry the Forest players and play the ball out wide/straight into the box. Rhodes is clearly struggling to make an impact in this system, which is unfortunate.

No wonder we can't score.. 16 defenders in front of us !!

Went right over the commentator's head. Then again, he still thinks we're under embargo.

He's said that we've exited the embargo. He's mentioned it at least twice. Keep up.

Impressed so far. Koita looks a real handful.

Oops... metaphorically speaking?

[AdamRochina]

Lack of ideas there from Marshall

Must be watching different channels then because he specifically said "both teams are under embargo and looking to get it lifted."

[DE.]

Forest have come out looking to press us in the same way we were pressing them in the first half. We've started out a little clumsily, need to get our composure back.

[AdamRochina]

Don't give lansbury space! Forest growing in confidence here

[T4E]

Q. Which Rovers players name sounds most like another word for sexual intercourse?

A. Koita's

[AdamRochina]

Struggling a bit here, we've struggled all game to create from open play, now they bring on danger man , we need a goal badly

[DE.]

Not sure what's happened but we've not started this half well. Hope we haven't used up all of our fuel in the first half.

[danielwhite813]

This is terrible second half

[AdamRochina]

Dire stuff this , really poor now, nothing up top and now the middle is struggling

[AllRoverAsia]

Steele needs a razor blade - very very badly

[Bucksrover]

Racking up the yellows.

I'll take a point now

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

Both wingers have been poor tonight.

[West Yorks Rover]

3 Rovers players booked so far this half.

Must be struggling a bit.

[DE.]

Evans on for Guthrie.

Forest are blocking off Conway very effectively this half. It's stifling our play as a lot of our forward impetus came through him in the first half.

[AdamRochina]

Clearly a set piece team , lack of ideas in the final third in open play

[DE.]

Probably best for Koita to avoid shooting outside of the box.

Koita should be scoring that. I guess that's why he hasn't scored in 20 games.

[Amo]

Bad miss from Koita there. Free header.

[AdamRochina]

We will be punished for that miss

[DE.]

Taylor on for Marshall.

[Roverthechimp]

Koita free header from middle of goal - straight at keeper...
