Forest v Birmingham match comments.....
Kieft over Clayton for me and probably move Friend inside and play Pedersen despite his iffy form. But great to have Friend back, first start for Halilovic and a decent team.
That forest midfield is very very physically powerful.
Desperate at the moment. Not a shot by blues.
Why have we spent the half hoofing long balls with nowone with a physical presence up front.
Don't worry, that'll stop when we bring Juke on
Shocking quality in this game, not even blaming Krakpot for that it's on the players
Colin has hardly got forward and has stil had to have Roberts bail him out with Miten several times
Roberts has actually defended pretty well but lost count of how many balls he's lumped 60 yards forward to nobody at all
Friend, there's a lot of love from blues fans for the guy that grew up on a farm but he plays the ball more often than not like he's still in his wellies, it's saying something to say that Pedersen is technically better on the ball
Clayton, the lack of industry and needless freekicks conceded is too high a prce to pay for someone occasionally playing the ball to someone on his own team
Sunjic, forever burying the myth that all continental players are technically better, 7 million? they saw us coming
Bela, having one of them days, nothing coming off but not helped by those around him
Hogan a decent finisher but if you don't give him the service you're effectively playing with ten men
Dean an awful first pass aside has again been decent and unlike others gave away a needed freekick and took one for the team
Halilovic has obvious quality, it's a pity so many in the team are playing awful and limiting his effectiveness
Sanchez another obvious quality, not been in the game enough but just the one passage of play where he and Hal linked up for 5 seconds we looked like Barca
Not even sure subs will make a big difference, too many on that pitch taking the easy lump it into an area route instead of having the courage to play a pass, though in fairness having seen Sunjic try and do just that and fail miserably maybe I'm expecting too much.
Leko for Bela and possibly GG for Clayton, but still not sure it'll make a difference.
We really need to stop giving so many freekicks away, forest are crap too but if you give them 50 chances to lump it into your box sooner or later you'll pay the price.
Bubba’s hits nail on the head in first sentence there.
First half some players should look at themselves there.
Basic passing is required and they can do it. It’s a good job we are playing a very poor team.
I’ll take a draw right now!!
be interesting to see if we put as many balls into the box with juke playing
Ironic ain’t it ? We always seem to play longer without the juke!!
Unless it’s just feels like that?
At least we’re working hard for the shirt and manager today imho
0-0 result poor.
a draw would have been good in the past , but they were there for the taking today
It sounds like it was another bore fest. At least Friend is back, so we kept a clean sheet. Sounds like Roberts passing was very poor even by his low standards. I would move Friend to CB for Tuesday, drop Roberts and bring Pedersen or JCS in at LB. Did Halilovic take a knock? Seems odd that he was subbed at HT, most people were saying he looked ok.
I turned the game off, so boring.
Last 10 seasons apparently only once we have managed less than 23 points by game 21. That was Steve Cotterill.
Just a highlight of where we are at right now with this 'philosophy' or 'Three year plan' or whatever else Dong plans to say next!
Sunjic seems to get worse week on week.
