Player Ratings After 12 Games

[GaribaldiRED]

I agree SA, that Pants is "good enough" for now at the "defending" part of the game but I still believe that he's not good enough at distributing the ball and for me that is extremely important in how Forest want to play football. I also think you are right that he will keep his place for the time being.

I agree with most of what is being said above in regard our keepers. Problem is that we are stuck with Panti, as a signed a couple of year contract-if not more-so whatever happens we have to pay him off or sell him (doubt many teams- at least at our level will take a punt on him).
In regard Steele I havent seen much of him apart from the Newcastle game and the highlights of the other two up games, so I cannot comment much, but from what I hear in here , many are saying that worst then Panti is not, so if AK decides to give him one or two leagues games, I guess no much harm can be done.
And for Smith, what a wasted season for the boy. he didnt deserve it. If AK was planning to have another back up keeper for Panti that wasnt Smith, he should have let him go on loan at least. As things are, he is throwing away a year of his professional development.

Yes, I really feel for Smith and I don't quite understand why he's not involved at all. Same go for Yates, Worral and Brereton. Hopefully both Smith and Yates will get loan deals in January in order to continue their development in the best possible way considering the circumstances.
