I thought we would lose to forest, even without our injuries. I wish they'd held on to Houghton till after we played them! Of the next 3 games I thought this would be the toughest one given forest's up turn in form.
We're doing okay, still 7 points off the bottom 3 and 5 points off the playoffs - I still think mid table would be an incredible result for us this season, given how much everyone wrote us off before a ball had been kicked, and staying out of the bottom 3 would still be amazing!!
I hope we can get something off Reading at least and maybe punt for the win. TJJ needs to get the f**k out of whole squad nevermind the first 11! And I'm annoyed we didn't see Dale, hoping he can at least come off the bench in midweek, ready for him to terrorise the Nobbers on Saturday.
It wasn't that bad, away at the form side I would have been pleased with a point. There was plenty of effort but the final pass and a bit of guile were missing.
Slightly disappointing but wouldn't describe it as abject.
I only managed to get the game on to watch 1 minute before we scored, we bossed that second half possession wise and had a nailed on pen on TJJ waved away by the ref(1-1) at the time, saying he took the ball, the guy didn’t touch the ball.
Fine margins decide most games at this level, could quite easily have got 3 points but came away with none, that’s football!
Not the best performance by a long way. But we still had our moments. gabriel had a bit of a mare first half, but found his feet second half. thougrht Madine and Jerry did Ok without setting the world on fire. Tjj, theres a very good player in there might be a bit lightweight though. Bowler was at his both frustrating and brilliant best quite often in the same move.
Thought Stewart was a bit out of the game never really go going, we wer much better when King kenny arrived, Wintle had a decent game up till the last 15 minutes when he decided to play suicide football, which seemed to spread across the whole back line for a period. Keogh was left standing so many times, Marv was basically doing the job of two again, and he didnt have his best game in tangerine.
forget about it, im sure critch will look at what the problems are and we go again on Tuesday.
I watched the classic forest game the other night and for me to see that team taking chances with the ball, being positive is what is missing a lot in this team.
Too safe a lot of the time.
Sometimes you have to try, try the through ball etc.
Just back, we didn’t deserve anything.
They pressed us well, but we invited all sort of trouble playing the ball around at the back. We had Madine in the team and we failed to use him, to pin them back. We must have wasted 20 minutes of the game passing in our own half.
Jerry excellent all round, Gabriel had a good game, arguable he was slightly too far off his man for the goal, but then the 2 centre backs didn’t prevent the goal. Gabriel did prevent 2 goals with great covering tackles 2nd half.
Bowler, poor again, zero end product. The cross for the goal was straight into the keepers hands, only for the defender to do us a favour. The lad flatters to deceive, and Mitchell is just miles ahead.
On the other side, TJJ just nothing. A boy against men. He cost us the 2nd goal by trotting to the ball in the corner - their lad was 10m behind him and should never have got that ball up the pitch, allowing them to break.
Get Hubby in for Garbutt, who really isn’t delivering much going forward and defensively he gets ripped.
Big away following and a toothless performance. They are not a great team, good going forward, but we just didn’t test them at the back.
The positive, well we are disappointed, because we are better than that.
From all the away days, that was by far the best atmosphere I have experienced in the EFL, credit to Nottingham Forrest, the place was bouncing. Blackpool loud & proud as always
I must say I was blown away from #nffc home support today! I’ve ever seen a ground rocking like that in all my years following the tangerines. Hopefully the same for the reverse fixture, just obviously not the result!
