Nottingham Forest - Sheffield Wednesday

Well done all, much better 2-0

Amen to that, Joe.

SA.

Very professional Hughton performance- no glaring errors and grabbs is a class act- showed us we need another number 9. Taylor I am convinced is useful but no more...

[ozzyten10]

Also very interesting to see grabbs talk and order everyone around after his goal...his confidence oozed back.

Hope he isn’t off to Qatar

Good performance today by the lads, defence was solid but really tested, Grabbs looked like a Rolls Royce when he came on and took the goal well. Small steps so I hope CH will recognise that the enforced changes have worked for him, more energy by the team overall.

Full time.

Can only beat what’s put in front of you.

With the exception of one headed chance in the first half we restricted them.

Samba: did everything needed, good distribution
Christie: excellent workrate and often got into good positions but wasteful
Ribeiro: took his goal well with little time to compose, linked up with Mighten / Ameobi throughout
Worrall: lead by example, headed and kicked it when needed
Mbe Soh: looked shaky at times, some good passing, still young and playing in a different country
Sow: allows the other midfielders to play further up the pitch, some excellent interceptions, need him fit
Yates: did ok but needs to be better on the ball
Cafu: got closer to Taylor and some excellent threaded passes and set pieces, improving with game time
Mighten: bright first half, Wednesday were doubling up at points, beat his man and unlucky to not get a penalty. Lots to offer
Ameobi: MOTM. Magic in his boots, dancing past players, all over the park, retained the ball when needed which we have struggled with
Taylor: decent hold up play but missed two decent chances

Lolley: barely involved
Grabban: a couple of nice bits of hold up play, worked hard for us goal and took it well

A mention as well to CH.

Gave chances to the two young lads in Mbe Soh and Mighten, which paid off.

Managed to get Cafu closer Taylor, which has been lacking.

Put Cafu on set pieces and looked more likely to score

WE'RE GOING UP!!!

Firstly Wednesday were so bad but that hasn't stopped us losing in the past. Very solid throughout, Cafu had an excellent game and a massive win. Looked a lot better without Arter and Lolley. Be interesting to see if/where Knockaert plays on Saturday (he should still start IMO)

He shouldn’t change the starting lineup unless it’s due to fitness, we’ve not won in seven (?) and the eleven that earned it should be given the chance again otherwise it sends a terrible message to the squad.

Would be mainly for fitness reasons, Knockaert should be very fresh and itching to play. Be tempted to consider starting Grabban too

Funny how quiet is it tonight on here! Everyone is obviously very satisfied for a change
