Nottingham Forest - Barnsley
#97
Progressive, confident and energetic full backs required. So important to Forest as an outlet, to travel with the ball and get balls in the final third.

Really need to cut out the ‘channel’ balls- they are so out of place, Figs and both full backs are literally punting it forward

In Grabbans defence for the offside goal.............Knockaert put him into a situation that was no win. If he knows he's offside, then he leaves it and the ball rolls harmlessly out of play. If he plays it (which is what he did) he is offside. Knockaert should've been selfish and tried to score himself. Easy to say in hindsight though, after the event!!

2 on 1 and Forest conspire to offside.  No composure.

Still.  0-0.  Game plan  working to nullify Barnie's energy.

Like Krono to bang in a worldie.

At least Forest are competing in this one.  Fair play.

I do understand the Figs rather than Mbe Soh today tho- the ball has spent far more time on the CBs heads than anywhere else

Agreed.

They've been our Achilles heels.  And the opposition know it.  Warnock ate them alive.

I like Krono.  Tasty on the ball.

Aye.  True.

I think Hughton explained the Figs over Soh selection based on the oppyype of opposition.

If Figs can channel his 1st season form I'm happy.

If Figs, Ribs, Yates makes a mistake, they get absolutely mullered for it. Grabban though gets off virtually scot free. I don't get it!!!

Agreed Tricky. I don't care what has gone on before in his career. This season he has been absolutley diabolical.
Panic on the streets of Croydon, Derby, Sheffield, Leicestershire.
