Nottm Forest (H) 9/12: Build-Up & Match Thread

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Starting poorly is definitely a theme.

 

[The Bear]

Maybe, I’d definitely be wanting another striker though still.

Also when Neto is back may not suit?

Yeah it suits without Neto but we'd need good attacking wing-backs on both sides for it to work well.

Bournemouth beating United.

 

[Del Woppio]

Last twenty minutes has been a lot better, but I'd still like to see some sharper movement off the ball from Hwang and Cunha, they're constantly asking for the ball to feet and it's pretty predictable and easy to defend against.

Sarabia was lost for the first 20' or so. Once he figured out the spaces they'd been leaving, the game totally turned.

They're not very good but they know what they are and how to execute it.

We’ve got Doherty; sorted

H/T: Really poor start and again we go a goal down through careless play as we give the ball away. Great move to get back level and the only team looking like scoring is us until we make a stupid mistake. Toti's passing has been poor and put us on the backfoot several times but otherwise, most of the team look lively. Cut out the dumb mistakes (Kilman / Toti) and we'll win this game as we have far more quality. This is Wolves though and we all know our capacity to shoot ourselves in the foot and if we don't do that, VAR can do for us instead.

The shape is leaving us quite vulnerable to counters. He asks a lot of the midfielders, and it leaves a lot of space through the middle I think.

I'd be tempted to play a back four, maybe even put Sasa on and drop Cunha a bit deeper centrally

Hwang in particular but that's generally what he does, then pops up with a goal. His build up play has never been great or anything.

 

[Freddeno]

Hope we win this and Steve Cooper is sacked, cant stand to watch him

Arsenal innit.

 

[Freddeno]

Hwang is way better on counters..I would leave him on, Forest will become more desperate

I wouldn't change anything, we've dominated since their goal, and as long as we don't do anything daft (Max/Sa, i'm looking at you...) we'll win this.

Although Forest may well change things tactically given our dominance.

Agreed. If we take the lead, I expect us to close up and defend it. For now, we are trying to win the game and that means taking calculated risks. It's Forest and they don't have a striker to speak of so worth risking to win IMO.

 

[Squeak]

Toti... WTF are you doing?

 

[The Bear]

I don't like it when Sa does that.

 

[t3ch]

Cunha stop yapping at the ref

 

[Freddeno]

If we take the lead I hope we keep the same formation and just try to keep the ball, possession and counter on them

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

I don't like it when Sa does that.

I'm not entirely sure that Sa likes it when Sa does that.
