Nottingham Forest - Millwall

[Strawberry Avenger]

Which brings us back to the transfer window, one of our most influential payers is very injury prone and we don’t bring in a decent replacement, that could cost us promotion.

There is Silva, Semedo, Bostock, Yates. How many Sow replacements do we want? They are all capable at this level or should be. We didn't lose last night because of Samba Sow. The whole team were poor and the whole team lost.

Cash was poor, Lolley was poor, Samba was poor. Some players seem excused from criticism.

We win together, we lose together.

Your quite right Sniffer, they should be but the aren’t.  Silva is but is injured, Yates isn’t there yet, Semedo isn’t interested and Bostock didn’t start.

Sorry Sniff but messrs Semedo, Bostock & Yates are NOT capable at this level.
Not complaining - just an observation.

Semedo hasn't draped himself in glory last night.  He has his pocket picked last night.  Should be ready for prime time but isn't ready for life in the Championship.

Bostock remains a mystery.  With him on, Forest didn't concede in the 2nd half.  But the damage was done.  Should be ready for prime team for life in the Championship.  He did better than Semedo.  (Which some may say isn't an endorsement.) Forest may have no option but to play him vs Wednesday.

Yates.  If he's on the pitch.  Millwall don't score 3 goals.  (Sure, maybe they'd concede 2 in 5 mins as they did vs Boro...but does Yates get all the blame for that?)  As 'bad' as Yates was (was he as bad as the defence in the last two games?) vs Boro, he scored a goal.  Is Yates ready for prime time.  No.  He's developing.  And like Car' should be introduced from the bench when the team is doing well.  He's behind Worrall and Cash in terms of 1st team football.  And it shows.  Yet...he scored a perfectly reasonable goal vs Boro which saved Forest a point.  And against Millwall?  Forest were even worse without him.

Car' was on the pitch.  Forest lose their match convincingly with him starting in his 'natural' position for the 3rd time this season.  He loses possession which leads to a goal.  The Coach moves him from his position after 25 minutes.  Because he had to do 'something.'  Forest didn't score.  They didn't assist to score.  That's the ACM's job.  Ready for prime time in the Championship.  No.  I don't think so.  He seems a shadow of the player that arrived.  Technique?  Oh yes.  But robust mind and body?  I don't think he has it for the Championship.  If he had Yate's mindset he probably would be worth at least half the price Forest paid for him.  I don't think Car's ready for the Championship.  He's NOT robust but he can play 'a bit.'

Sow and Silva are capable at this level.  But they're out.  And the familiar bad run of form the last time Sow was out is back.  Forest are starting to sink.  1 win in 6, is it?

Just a coincidence, I suppose.

Forest will be lucky to hold the play offs.  And 7th isn't good enough for this season.  At this rate of going we may finish 9th.
