Wycombe Wanderers - Nottingham Forest

[zicorice]

Really good work. 6 points in 5 days. Chuffed.

Positives:
3 points 3 goals.
Murray! 
Solid defensively-even Figs
Beforehand was worried our lightweight midfield might get bullied out of things-despite a few shirked tackles and headers, it didn't happen and our quality shone through when it mattered most on the ball.
Lolley again gets an assist-if his condition is sorted I would start him soon.
Sheep didn't pick up points.
Widdow threatening to eat humble pie..

Negatives
First 2 goals were gifted by worst defence ever seen (great finishes though) and we didnt really open them up a great deal afterwards.
Sheep didn't lose.

Probably being a bit picky as we moved the ball so well and won with 60% possession. 

As an aside, had no commentators, but could hear everything from benches. Wycombe bench were like washer Women "ref reeeeeef, Fing ell ref" non stop.

Very good win, but can see Wycombe are a poor side. Mind you they had a chance early doors, when fig missed ball into the edge of box and the lad shot just wide.

Murray led the line very well, and hey, he might me just making me eat humble pie if he can play like that. Showed up Grabban for how to play as a loan striker. First goal was great, penalty wasn’t the best but keeper hand wasn’t strong enough to stop it.

Knockeart works so hard and midfield look better, and good to get 3 points on board.

Of course, that’s the two games gone we expected to win (if we didn’t we wouldve really been in the shite) now a run of games that we can see what we are made of.

Forest past wouldn't have won those games.

Knocker looking better with better midfield players around him.

SA.

So you agree then the players now playing are better than Lionel Yates  :) :)

Cracking result, Hughton proving he knows the score with a team selection which raised a few eyebrows pre-match.

Wycombe are toss, but we are also starting to look way more of a team than a collective of individuals that we have in ages.

We're progressing :)

[McDurban]

I have such huge respect for a 37 year old professional footballer who can perform like that in this league. Well done Murray, hope you can see it through for a few more months.

[Ciscokid]

Well said McD, I'm struggling just a little to think of Glen as a grandad!!

Different type of player. Personally prefer to praise the lads playing that slate injured players not on pitch.

[Salvatore Matrecano]

Actually I would really like to see Garner and Yates paired together in the middle.

Yes absolutely!

But who’s slating injured players??

Things are starting to click in the middle of the park at long last....And I get it’s a squad game these days, but there’s absolutely no need to bring players straight into the team if I/we rate them or not for the sake of it!

100%. Yates will have to bide his time when fit, but can see him coming on to shore things up as Colback did today. With our luck with CM injuries, probably be needed sooner rather than later.

Yeah you’re not wrong, Colback will be suspended by Friday dinner time  ;)

Sow & Garner for me.

That would be quality on and off the ball. Wonder if Sow will (a) stay next season and (b) play enough games.

Garner is only 19 and couldn't stay in Watford side. If he continues as he is, then surely it's a great fit for both him and us for a seasons loan next year? Then if he kicks on, we go up and he gets another year in Prem..

Winning 3-0 can make you stupidly optimistic.
