Nottm Forest 6/1 - Build Up & Match Thread

[Derby Wolf]

Chatting to my Forest mate and predicted this half an hour ago. Classic Nunoball.

 

[The Bear]

He's in a foot race against a fast player when he's on a booking. Poor that he got isolated.

Agreed. I can't really be too mad with him as he was never winning that.

RAN came sliding in and nowhere near anything for the shot.

 

[pavlosmacwolf]

Shame their keeper is from hartleys.
That'll sort the young uns out.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

RAN has been all over the place sadly.

Should have given away a penalty and poor on both goals.

 

[Haggstone]

Ridiculous.

Well he might have tried to get himself into a better defensive position rather than pointlessly appealing for offisde.

 

[Templeton Peck]

Better team with 7 out. Forest are having a freak season statistically. Won't last.

 

[Jinky]

Scoreline is annoying but can’t bring myself to be annoyed because the performance is just night and day compared to what we’d have been served up with this starting 11 under Gaz.

You can see the improvements, but just look at players we’re having to start in defence. Matt Doherty, Santi & RAN in a back three, ffs. We need defensive reinforcements ASAP, but can’t bring myself to be too angry. Performance wise we were the better side.

 

[Carrotdude]

I think we’ve played really well but absolutely had to score one of those chances. Hard to get too mad at the defence when only one is an actual defender and he’s not good enough to be starting.

 

[ROVERT47]

Forest are a mirror image of us circa 2019, well done Shi

 

[Jinky]

1.82 xg for us at half time.

 

[pavlosmacwolf]

The way we are getting through their defence, i'm astonished they are third.
Oh for cunha

 

[Lycan]

Matt fucking Doherty. Put your hand down and defend you idiot.

 

[Carsy]

Yeah il backtrack there. Doc should’ve done better and would’ve if he wasn’t appealing like a Wally

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Yeah on reflection, the offside claiming distracted him and he could have got in a better position.

 

[Tony Towner]

I think he means we’ve been the better side. Forest have generally been average but sit on a 0-2 lead. It’s a cruel game, but as you say, don’t take your chances etc etc.

Thank Christ we’re close to signing a defender.

We haven't though unless you believe in the XG award. I'm not looking to be a dick. Neither goal was unlucky, we haven't been done by a refereeing decision, we've missed chances and not with worldie saves, they've scored theirs through a combination of good attacking play and bad defending. So they've been the better side and let's face it they are

 

[Haggstone]

Watching it back it doesnt get any better for him does it. Defend the situation ffs.

 

[Carsy]

Forest are a mirror image of us circa 2019, well done Shi

Yes and no. Appreciate it’s only 1 half but they’ve given us atleast 2 clear cut chances. Circa 19 wolves were more efficient on this performance.

 

[sycophantia]

The 2 goals have been poor obviously but we've been decent apart from that. I like Larsen but he should have at least 1 goal.
The youngsters have been pretty good.
It's a typical Nuno performance.
I can see us scoring, maybe even 2 but doubt they won't score again. Tbh they look like they're playing well within themselves.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

It's like watching us 5 years ago.

 

[Mild 'n' Scratchins]

Martin O'Neil has just said about Doherty that he's been a liability defensively all his career, commentating on Doc appealing for offside on the halfway line in the lead up to the second goal. Not more to add really.
