Nottingham Forest - Bournemouth

[Paplane]

Quick question. We all want the same thing, progression and ultimately Premier league football. Can anybody say truthfully that that is possible under CH??

Ask Brighton fans.

Disapointing and fristrating today but if people cant see the progression in the side now from the end of last season then they really should try having a few less beers before the games. 

We at last look more offensive with Mighten and Johnson the major plus points for me. I think Taylor is at last showing flashes of what we thought we bought now there's more happening around him. Lolley is being nursed back. He's not fully firing yet but showing flashes of his old self. We need to persevere with him,  he just needs games and his confidence will return as his fitness does. Zinc looks and absolute player at this level, compare him to last season's Knockaert. 

Its clear were not yet the finished article. Add Garner to the side, sort the full backs out, get Wozza in for Figs and we really might have a solid season. 

Negatives today for me are the lack of quality from set plays.  We had multiple opportunities to put quality into the box and banged in average balls that were tame or over hit. Also though we saw maybe what the clubs see's in Gabriel. He looked bang average to me today and not particularly good either defending or attacking . Why we relied on him sticking crosses into the box on that side I dont know when Mighten and Tutu were frightenting the life out of them on the other wing. Everything shiuld have been going to Mighten.

For me, despite these two disapointing results, things are shaping up. There is progression for us to see. We conceded 4 sloppy goals in two games and they've been very costly. Im sure they'll we working on that a lot in the enxt few weeks. 

And credit to Bournemouth today. What a performance they put in. They weathered the warly storm and got i to the game. Patched up side but still brimming with quality. And the effort they put in down to 10 for 30 mins was impressive. If they dont get promoted this season there'll be 3 absolutely brilliant sides in the division.
