Nottingham Forest v Hull

[Paplane]

i think hes going to have to change the formation. we need to freshen things up. its the same thing always.

our crossing is poor. zero threat at set pieces. small weeds in the middle against big physical teams .

I think so too, but he tried that against Wigan and it was poor too - even worse.

We had zero creativity in the last 3rd. Lolley's gone right off, Ameobi drifted in and out of the game. Carvalho was ineffective, Silva was busy but playing on his own. All that means Grabban is isolated. Even down to 10 men, all we did was play in front of them. I was urging someone to take a man on, move them around, get them panicking. But no. There was no lack of effort, we cant be critical there, but something was lacking last night which I'm finding it hard to define.

Even before the international break we never look like wining a game by more than a single goal margin and when you start conceding goals, defeats are inevitable. 

Dawson's loss is massive for us. He's our leader who drives us on and lifts the performances of others. It might be that.
