Rovers vs Forest

[Mr. E]

Are my facts wrong or is that 3 penalties in a row for Lenihan? Is he going for some record?

3 penalties in a week, have a word Darragh

Hes a liability so far this season.

That's right mate 

[aletheia]

If you're stupid enough to pull a shirt in the box.....

[DE.]

If we had any other realistic options Lenihan would have to be dropped. Can't afford to have a player in the team constantly giving penalties away. You can overlook a couple as bad luck, but three in a row? Something not right there.

Rodwell is the answer

Karma, looked a soft penalty decision on first glance

From where we are sat it looked like he pulled him down. He keeps putting his arms round players. Forwards will take advantage of that and refs will give them.

I think he needs a leader next to him.

Downing is looking even worse at present though.

[jim mk2]

We need 2 new centre halves - and quick.

Lenihan is a liability and Mulgrew has reverted to type with injuries

[fenwindows]

Duffy mk2?

[Swanson]

Wow Downing is playing really bad.

[Bigdoggsteel]

Lenihan needs to calm down with giving pens away 

[Gogger]

This is just awfull to watch. Downing cant put a foot right. Lenihan look unsecure without Mulgrew by his side. Midfield not working at all.

First game of the season. Makes Williams stupid red look even more costly. I would have started Rodwell. Form is temporary, class is permanent. Has Downing even played in the championship before? 

[jim mk2]

Downing isn't good enough at this level

[Gogger]

Looked a penalty for me. Hands up high above the head, pen imo.

[K-Hod]

We’ve been very poor so far and are lucky not to be a goal down at least. Very sloppy in possession. Improving a bit more now.

 

[Gogger]

Dack with a free header, should have done better.

Yeah you are right , just re-watched it,

Live I only caught a quick glance as had a Jack Russell jumping on my head because i wasn't paying attention to her

[Tugay's Right Foot]

Couple of very good chances for Danny Graham. Let’s get into their faces, they are beatable

Good chance for Graham there, good clearance on the line from the forest player though

[Tugay's Right Foot]

Graham hits the frame of goal. We are shading it now

[Swanson]

We will surely pay for missing those chances, could have been 3-0.

[Tugay's Right Foot]

Funny old game. Started pretty poorly and many players could be criticised. At this point nearing half time though, can’t seem to point out a particularly bad performer. Seem to have stepped up the game

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

After a well dodgy start unlucky not to be ahead. Downing is having a mare and Lennihan not far behind.  Reed been very good.  Think we may nick this second half

[Tugay's Right Foot]

Been impressed with Reed. Several others doing well too, Graham, Dack, Evans, Bennett. Smallwood, Bell have been decent. Nyambe been ok. Lennighan improved but gives me a bit of a heart Attack when he goes forward to try and join the Attack. Downing’s first start this season was shaky but probably Glad that the ball is more in forest half than ours as the half went on.
