Nottingham Forest - Huddersfield

[RyanR]

Hudders are above us in the table. Difficult game.

It will be difficult for Forest without the fullbacks.  All games in the Championship are difficult.  The Gyspy curse has struck the Forest's squad targeting that traditional Forest voodoo weak spot (LB...) making it even harder.

Hughton's Forest got pummelled with 7(?) defeats without them.

With them, Cooper's Forest have shown that attacking intent goes alot further with fullbacks (and the performance vs Boro threw the clock back to the start of the season when we were 7 games in without fullbacks.)

Cooper did make the point that even with Spence, that performance wouldn't have got a result.  He's right.  All the lads need to be on it, not half asleep.

Even as bad as they were, Boro still needed an OG for the win.  I don't think they're 'great' but they're good enough for a top 6 place and building momentum.

Had Forest had Boro's fullbacks?  (Which would have meant Colback would have been able to play in CM...). I think we'd have beaten them.

SA.

I think there was a bit of an overreaction to the Boro defeat by lots of fans and lots of journalists. We lost with a makeshift defence, had two players come off with injury and had to play players that are probably leaving in Jan. 

I think it’s understandable that we struggled. We all know that the squad needs some improvement and hopefully Dane Murphy can sort it out.
