Can only presume he's playing a diamond midfield, Lowe defence and Bennett just behind forwards?

That's more paste than diamond.

[Dunnfc]

Better bench than the first 11.... just equally both dire at this level.

That was what I concluded was the team initially, until someone mentioned Williams or Lowe could be centre half.

Lowe and Bennet in centre mid. Strange selection. 

Same as QPR last week.

Steele

Nyambe Lenihan Mulgrew Williams

Feeney Lowe Bennett Conway

Gallagher Graham

Subs: Raya, Brown, Guthrie, Akpan, Joao, Emnes, Mahoney

We made two signings in the window, Emnes and Joao.

Both have almost 2 weeks training under their belt since joining us and therefore you assume they are now fit to play and up to speed with systems, tactics etc

Why the hell are we signing players who are not good enough to command a place in a team rooted in the bottom 2 ?

Lowe played left with Mulgrew in centre mid

Paid a visit to the old Millmoor ground while here. £2.50 tolook around and wander on the pitch!

COYB!!!

Lowe played LB last week, and he was pretty good after the first five mins.

No it isn't. Lowe played left back.

Lowe must have something. After all successive managers have always picked him when fit.

Or do we know better than Coyle, Lambert, Bowyer, Appleton, Berg, Kean, Allardyce.........any more?

Allardyce never picked him, Kean gave him his debut and Lambert only threw him in at the end of his tenure when he was on his way out of the door.

Yes, he's got an engine and racks up the passing and yardage stats through a distinct lack of creativity and quality. He can tackle and doesn't close down, and needs to have footballers around him.

He's a water carrier who could link play between other footballers. He is not a player and definitely not a captain.

I didn't go so I bow to your superior knowlege sir! Having said that I read Lowe played left back and did well so there's no excuses for my faux pas

Mea Culpa.

Brighton 1 Burton 0

Derby 0 Bristol C  1

[Bigdoggsteel]

Forest losing as well. That will drag them back into it.

New signings scoring for Bristol, a good January can pull teams out of it 

[Tom]

Forest 3-0 down now

I am assuming Nyambe and Williams are full backs? Lenihan and Mulgrew in the centre of defence then Feeney and Conway on the wings. That leaves Bennet and Lowe in the centre, right?

I was looking at the team and I couldn't figure out the positions. That ain't a good sign. 

Looks like the surrender flag is raised in the centre midfield before a ball is kicked

[West Yorks Rover]

Fulham 1 Wigan 0

 

Qpr losing too. 0-1 to Hudds.

Wait for full-time before imploding, Tom! Wigan and Burton latest results are good, so far. I wonder if we can capitalise for a change?

[Bigdoggsteel]

Bristol city 2-0 up. Bloody Steve McLaren!!!!
