Fulham Halftime Ramblings.......
Ream has been uncharacteristically slow and ponderous on the ball today, looks like he's moving through treacle at times. Just need to speed things up which starts with replacing Reed and Reid. Rodak again at the end of the half showing his decision making is just atrocious - he will cost us 9+ points if he's #1 next season as he's just not good enough
Kebano and Robinson subs at half would open up Forest.
Perplexing how predictable & slow we were. Some of our passes were awful & the c**k-up for their goal was "nearly" laughable.
Fabio had the best chance, but booted it right to the keeper.
Hopefully someone can be clinical in the second half...and I don't mean a Forest player
Massive c**k up aside, we're so poor at playing through the press, we'll be pressed a lot more next season. We're also being done out wide on the counter far too often, if the full backs are gonna both push up we need another player to drop in.
Have to commend Forest who have been excellent.
Much better game. They are happy to let us have the ball, but they look dangerous when they get into our final third. We've been poor in possession at times also, which is unlike us.
Thinking we are really missing Robinson's pace down the left side. Really need more balls floating in over the top for when Mitro, Fabio or Harry make those runs. Also need more forward passing and less back and sideways passing.
Found it tense, a battle - could go either way.
We're not quite on our game, but Forest are very combative, some pacey, skillful players too.
Statistically we've been the far superior team but we look weirdly jumpy again like we did a month ago when we have the ball. Deffo there for the taking but we need more movement - Wilson been kept quiet but we need more from the left, I think Kebano's trickery will be more useful than BDR as a utility forward. Reed is offering nothing as he's a DM who can't pass playing as a #8 and he's also on a yellow. Get TC on for him and keep us on the front foot.
Need a response 2nd half, too much stuffing around at the back, and im afraid that to concede a goal like that shows we desperately need backline upgrades for the prem. Marco needs to light a fire under the boys, even if the results in other games are going our way, we need to finish the year in good form.
This really isn't as bad as people are making out.
It's not but at the same time Forest haven't played great and they've mainly just pressed pressed us, and excluding Seri and Fab they all look scared on the ball as they're being rushed. Next season will be a higher tempo so they need to get used to this sort of pressure on the ball now
Ream is slow and ponderous because the opposition are closing him down quickly and in numbers, many teams didn't do this and he was allowed to play his game.
Rodak bottled it, simple as that!
He should have come all the way and taken the ball but he chickened out.
Forest are not a brilliant team but the coach has them very well drilled, they play to their strengths, and we look physically outmatched.
TC, Seri and Fabio in our midfield together? Not going to happen. Defense is still required to keep Forest from netting another goal, and while Seri can put in a tackle, he's not a good defender and he's prone to lose the ball if pressed hard.
They’re defending deep which makes it difficult for us to find space to pass into or run into. We need a few shots from outside the box to test the goalie and perhaps draw them out.
My take, good first half, by Swansea and Forest and Man City! We need to do better, didn't agree with the team selection and at the moment I am being proved right!
Good game between two good teams. We are slightly better so far in my opinion, but have caused ourselves problems because of our own sloppy passing at times. Ream, Neco and Reed have been really off their games, the rest look good or better.
Reading this board we are being outclassed, which is surprising. In my opinion.
