v Nottingham Forest (h) - 9/2/22

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

You'd like to think that just once, we would turn a game round and make a statement...but we look clueless.

[Ghost7]

We're losing this in the middle. It was clear after the game against Hull that we desperately needed a better central midfielder imo (even with Travis back) and ideally rotate Rothwell/ Buckley. The January window was a massive opportunity missed no matter how you try to dress it. If we weren't getting a number 9 we had to get a CM.

Funny what a big athletic forward can do eh Tony.

[OldEwoodBlue]

Down to 4th now and played more games.

A tale of 2 Buckley missed sitters and 6 dropped points.

[West Yorks Rover]

Has Giles done owt yet ?

Down to 4th BTW with QPR and B/mouth both winning.

Zeefuik really does not look up to speed.

Neither does Giles

He might take Buckley off early as he's been booked.

Absolutely devoid of any attacking creativity. Rothwell quiet, Brereton tired, Khadra pressing. 

That Buckley chance was key. We score that and we’re in control. Now we’re chasing. Season defining, I predict a terrifying death spiral. 

We’re already in the middle of it pal!

[benhben]

Zwwfuik looks like a pub player that can run a bit. Get Nyambe on

[Trinidad Rover]

We simply do not look like scoring. 

Brereton has been a shadow of a player since he got the 20th. He’s nackered. 

Ayala needs to come back in, some leadership. 

[Sparks Rover]

Team full of lightweights....Khadra, Bucko, Zeefulk, Rothwell....all soft

[Bbrovers2288]

Look so devoid of ideas up top, slinging the ball in without looking and hoping it falls to one of ours , when we do fashion a chance it’s snatched and away. Not good enough really 

[booth]

Zeefuick is terrible.

Agreed. Wasn’t especially blown away that he can cross a lot the other day, considering they didn’t lead to much.

No you don't get it there's a real player there you just have to look very closely and you see it for 4 mins every tenth game....you can't use what you see with your eyes, have to look passed that.

Some on here really seem like they want Buckley to do badly. Like they're just waiting for it.

It's weird.

[jim mk2]

The Wigan fiasco and rubbish January window were turning points

Plus, managers have looked at our unbeaten run and worked out how to play us

Tony's lack of a workable plan B or C is being found out

Ajax academy obviously ain't what it used to be.

[G Somerset Rover]

We’re playing like we’ve never met before. And have done since the turn of the year. Back to the same old sh*te from last season.

 

[Bbrovers2288]

Cmon rothwell open your body up and find the corner , pathetic

So much further to fall yet, if we cling on to 6th to then get pumped in the play off semi it'll be a miracle.

Its been lovely dreaming but this squad, manager and ultimately owners are nowhere near, or deserve to be near, Premier League standard.  

[booth]

Rothwell passing when he should be shooting.

And Brereton should have done better with the cross from Giles.

Looking woeful up front.

I’m confused. If you’re quick and powerful - like he obviously is - ALL you have to do is beat your man and get the ball into the box, low and hard, between the 6 yard box and penalty spot. He doesn’t need to worry about ANY other end product. That’s it, every single time. Even if there’s nobody there. 

[RTM08]

May seem harsh but if we lose here I'd be looking at options for a new manager. Continue like this and we won't even be in the hunt for the play-offs.

 

With someone new we can start planning for when we lose all oir decent players and can maybe squeak in there with the new manager bounce.

[G Somerset Rover]

We’re making this Davis lad look like prime Drogba.

[superniko]

The defending is comical. How did we go on that unbeaten run. 
Someone summed it up earlier. We’re playing like everyone expected pre-season. It’s just deflating given we someone worked our way up to 2nd.
