RE: Nottingham Forest - Fulham - JWJW - 03-04-2024
Excellent performance which will for a week at least shut up the Nuno haters.
It was good to hear the commentators again reinforce that MGW thinks Nuno is a brilliant and underrated manager.
Remember, before Afcon screwed up out season we beat Manure and Newcastle, and we have now gone from losing 5-0 to Fulham earlier in the season to now beating them 3-1.
Nuno has struggled due to Afcon completely messing everything up but I feel we are now getting back to where we should be.
We have missed Aina on the left thats for sure.
Yates and Williams really put in shifts and deserve credit.
Set pieces - really is our downfall this season. 20 goals let in from corners this season is just pathetic.

And when you remember that first half this evening...........
remember those who were calling for a return to Cooper low block defend and dont attack football this week................
RE: Nottingham Forest - Fulham - Forest1970 - 03-04-2024
If MGW is going to mark someone during set pieces then he really needs to get in front of the player when the ball comes in and he didn't for their goal but that's me being picky. But other than that we played really well and I always knew we had it in us and it does look we do have some fight in us.

Excellent performance last night. We've not had a night like that in a while.
Some stand out performances.
3 wins needed for me
RE: Nottingham Forest - Fulham - Mcforest - 03-04-2024
I can honestly say before that match I was moaning that something needed to change or Nuno needed to leave at end of season as we were just continuing on from where cooper left off. Now if that wasn't a one off as we have seen before then sniffer I will be apologising to you for telling me to keep the faith as I couldn't see a performance like that coming.
I will enjoy that result for now and let's see what the run in brings.

Big hats off to Nuno.
That was the best first half of football seen at the City Ground for donkeys years.
The thing now is to make sure that it wasn't just a one off.

Best first half performance in the Prem easily.
I know we can list everyone but I'm really pleased for Sels he looks pretty steady. Hope we stick with the back line for a while and create some stability.
Agree that we lack a lefty up top. Isn't Reyna left footed?
Anyway I'm going to enjoy the rest of my week and not nit pick too much. Finally can enjoy watching youtube clips again.
RE: Nottingham Forest - Fulham - Forest1970 - 03-04-2024
There are some teams we can go all out to attack on and then we need to realistically know who we need to just counter attack on and I think Nuno knows that. So basically the teams in the bottom half of the league are the ones that need to press and attack on and the perhaps top 6 we need to counter on but hey that's how I'd do it but what do I know.

Sels was a huge part of that win, not only the save from the second Tosin header, but he took charge of the defence and came out to claim some difficult crosses to deal with. Such a huge upgrade on our other keepers. I also think our back 4 looks the most settled it has been for a while, it doesn’t help that we’ve had to constantly chop and change all season, which probably explains some of our set piece issues

Still not totally convinced on Omobamidele. Perhaps in a couple of more years but I'd sooner an older head playing next to Murillo but yes a damn site load more better.
RE: Nottingham Forest - Fulham - Salvatore Matrecano - 03-04-2024
Excellent overall but carrying on from Ryans past , we are glossing over the set pieces. Watched it back and yet again the commentator (was Keown or Owen Hargreaves) was saying how we looked in a state of panic at every corner.
Its not just us that can see this, its really obvious and I don’t understand why it hasn’t really improved. Agree a settled back line would help, just worry it will bit us again unless we sort out the tactics better.
RE: Nottingham Forest - Fulham - nffc93 - 03-04-2024
I was nervous at every set piece. Every time a ball comes in i fear a goal. Which again, begs the question, why are we no using the set piece coach? It's bloody ridiculous.
Cracking win so not gonna focus on the bad points.
Long way to go. 3 wins needed
