I was in LB - never again. Too old to stand and there were idiots cramming in with their mates on our row. Time for the club to introduce safe standing I think - it is actually dangerous when seats in front are at shin level!

I was very similar and had to take myself out after their 2nd went in even missed nico’s goal (lots of other lads i see every week were also down on the concourse .  My season card is in LB so decided to sit in my own seat , I only recognised a few around me and we had lots of young children (even though for a PL game this is not allowed and the club should look into this ) and tourists (getting brand new scarf’s out of packaging and taking selfies ) sat all around us even signing the song Nottingham is full of fun got some very unsavoury looks . I sit with my family every week including my 16 year old , but I accept that he will hear explicit language especially from myself . I appreciate that the club needs to bring through the next generation of supporters but surly we need certain areas of the ground . 
Also i would love the LB to Become Safe Standing and think it would only add to the Match day atmosphere.

The goalkeeper has a much wider job than making saves. It involves commanding the area, cutting out crosses, organising the defence. Need to see Ody do far more to convince me he is at the level we need.

He is a keeper who doesn’t make saves. Don’t want to criticise how players too much but he isn’t very good. I was in my usual seat in the lower tier behind the Trent End goal, so you can see a lot of what the Goalies are doing. Their keeper was better than ours. He made a great save from a Yates header and looked competent in possession. There was a cross in the first half which he went for and got nowhere near, he was lucky a defender got his head on the ball. Turner is definitely the better keeper but his kicking is a complete liability. We are desperate for an improvement.
