MATCHWATCH : Nottingham Forest (h)

[Brogue]

Harsh on Puscas. Replay shows he started on side, tried to bend his run slightly, but the defender on far side out of his eyeline was very quick to react to the possession loss and step up.

Only way Puscas can stay on is to run back towards our goal which basically means he's moving the wrong way for the break.

Fair. We will go with brain dead from Ejaria then

No comment so I don't upset Hound.

Waiting for Ejaria to do something good so I can praise it for him.

Like putting in for a transfer in January?

Injuring Moore.

[Brogue]

Never rated forests keeper always looked a calamity waiting to happen. We should be working him at every opportunity

[John Madejski's Wallet]

Utter tripe from Moore allowing himself to get turned so easy, then having to take one for the team

[CountryRoyal]

“Moore’s been turned”

Well obviously.

He is a poor defender, he’s either too close when he shouldn’t be, or backs off to much. Has zero positional sense which is why he looks good making so many late last minute blocks, because had he done his job to begin with, it probably would never come to that. Anyone that thinks differently is living in the past.

Liam Moore is a disgrace and needs to look at himself in the mirror

For the cameras or for the team?

[Brogue]

Backpass!!! Ffs

[Snowflake Royal]

That exemplifies my ire at Ejaria.

Space outside with the option of a 1 on 1 vs a defender or time to cross.

He stops, waits, watches, checks back. Second defender has time to get in, and the three players we had in the box waste their good runs because he just stops everything and ignores them. Then they need to reset their runs.

He does find Rahman outside the box who has a decent shot which Samba palms past Yiadom, but not going to score from there often.

Would score much more from an early near post cross or beating his defender and running at goal.

[CountryRoyal]

Think Puscas was off anyway. Not like he’d have scored.

[Snowflake Royal]

Anyone surprised by Yiadom being our most fouled player hopefully paying attention. He's had 4 / 5 already.



Ooooo Puscas. Damnit. Didn't see it clearly. Samba done well or Puscas should do better?

Both.

Cool, consensus from Dim and Mick too.


Tricky chance. As always with Puscas, not one he absolutely should bury, but one you'd expect a good striker to score more often than not. And he's had half a dozen of those this season with none going in.

In that case, can I change my answer?

[Ascotexgunner]

Watching Holmes in front of me in c1871. What a talent nothing gets past him and his reading of the game is wonderful.

[Snowflake Royal]

We're still in this and getting chances. But we're very clearly second best.

[CountryRoyal]

Why is it when the other team have the ball in their final third and box, it falls to them nicely, we sit off and wait and they have all the time in the world to pick their pass and do what they want.

When it’s us, we turn into headless chickens, are pressed and do a series of silly things before eventually losing the ball.

[John Madejski's Wallet]

Got here late so missed the first 15min, but tbf I don't think we took too bad.

Getting a lot of joy down our right, but Ejaria is being useless on the left

Been mostly the same for a decade. We always seem to give them space and be marked tight.

I think it's because we play so slow often.

After 3 years same old same old. Not aggressive enough. Less talented player with pace would be far more effective. Another punt that hasn't paid off.
