QPR - Nottingham Forest

[Strawberry Avenger]

There were people on this forum wondering why we were perusing multiple CH targets, maybe we got our answer after the first two games.

In short.  Yes.  We have our answer.

SA.

No we don't. Figs and Worrall are more than good enough at the level we are at. They have proved it time and time again.

Add up all the last minute goals.  And the evidence says otherwise.  It's another loss.  

Forest have been after CHs and have been linked with a clutch of them.

I suspect that The Coach knows our CHs are flawed (I think the partnership is) and one of them is going to take the bench.  And if they (one or other) don't what's left of their confidence won't matter.

This isn't the first time Figs has been caught out.

We move on to the next  game.  Cardiff.

Here's hoping our two CHs are 'good enough' to keep a clean sheet.

And that last minute goals become a thing of the past.  A pattern that embedded suggests there is a problem.

SA.

It's a team game. You cannot just pin the blame on the CH's for conceding goals. It doesn't work like that.

We are linked with CH's because Bene and Hef are out of favour and Dawson is approaching 37! We are lacking in numbers.

Mr. Gari' would agree with you.  It is a team game.  And you defend from the front.

But Grabban doesn't.  Forest don't retain possession in midfield.  It's the ghost of Calderwood all over.

And if the middle and front two lines don't do that.  Have the back line got the special something to stop 'last minute' goals.  They often look all at sea for those 'last minute' goals.  Which suggests to me, our 'centre' backs are missing something.

We are linked because our options as exactly as you say.  And if our CHs are making mistakes or prone to lapses of judgement or concentration then who do we bring in to change that?  They seem to lack pace and seem rather static.

I think Big Ben would bring a bit more of physical presence to the back line.  But he's out of favour.  And Dawson too old.  And Hef' probably not good enough.  

The stats still say that Forest concede lots of last minute goals.  Clearly a fault line at the back.  You build from the back and this Summer Forest have brought in defensive signings.  But one is playing LB.  And other incoming CH is yet to be tried. 

Can't score and leaking goals.  Hmm.  To me.  That's not a good sign.
