Nottingham Forest - Bournemouth

[Salvatore Matrecano]

Agree we lacked a decent playmaker, Yates and Colback are too similar for me and shouldnt play together but still dont thin thats why we lost. Agree against 10 men we were trying floaty crosses in which were never going to achieve much with either Taylor or Grabban.

Just got in. Had a quick flick through  the responses and they are pretty predictable from some who clearly werent there actually watching it.
We lost because of two basic defensive errors and the lack of a decent striker, not because of CH.

Bollocks i may not have been there but i watched it.

Yes the defensive errors cost us as well as poor goalkeeping and poor tracking back from the midfield.... however, this is the same as last season and it is the responsibility of the manager to stop it happening. Its still happening... it happened last season, it happened last week it happened today.

At 1-2 playing 10 men he kept 2 cdm on and didnt push us forward. Whos fault is this if not the manager.

You say we played well we were rubbish. Bright start but created nothing. Playing 10 men created nothing. Thw football was boring and uninspired.

Im sorry but he has had a year and its no different.

[northeastred]

Pretty sure all the thousands who were there and on twitter are saying the same thing as each other. And it's not good

[Uwantlee]

In fact anyone coming away today thinking that was ok I would seriously question. If we settle for that then we can forget every getting back to the top.

No poor poor poor. CH is so negative and boring. It’s the same excuses every game.

[Salvatore Matrecano]

We did push forward against 10 and tried to play it wide but never created much agains well organised opponents.
Sorry for being thick but why is it the managers fault the defence switched off? , to be fair Colback and Yates didnt cover themselves in glory for the goals either.
Figs doesnt look sharp enough, Gabriel looked like little boy lost, nowhere near good enough on that showing and we had a debutant playing out of position at LB. Up front we had a 31 year old with a gravity problem and a 34 year old who looks totally spent.
But yes that is all obviously the manager fault.

[JollyLolly]

SM, yes you are correct it IS the managers fault, if we can all see it why cant CH?

[Salvatore Matrecano]

SM, yes you are correct it IS the managers fault, if we can all see it why cant CH?

No I was being sarcastic. WHY is it the managers fault?
We couldnt break down a well organised defence
We had a makeshift defence
Our strikers IMO are both shite.

Why is any of that the managers fault? What on earth do you think any other manager would have done?
Let me guess, you take Yates off and bring Carvalho on? Would that really have changed the result?

It’s the managers fault that it keeps happening. The same mistakes. The same lack of concentration. It’s his job to stop it happening as often as it does.

An no... with 10 me we persisted with 2 dcm and continued to do very little. It was terrible boring predictable. But then it is every week. 

The manager sets the team up with the same negative tactics every week.

The manager chooses who to bring on and when ie our most creative player with 4 minutes to go rather than when we should of been pushing as soon as the red card happened.

There has been no progress made in the style of play, the quality of performance or results in 12 months. But it’s ok... give him till Christmas when we could be in a real relegation battle. 

Don’t forget that Bournemouth had so many players missing today. How would their first 11 have got on... we would have been buried by half time.

[JollyLolly]

Agree with Uwantlee, it just keeps happing under CH, rinse and repeat nothing changes!

Bringing carv on earlier so he can make an impact absolutely... or do you stick with 2 of the exact same non creative players in the middle of the park. Why we have 2 dcm at home anyway is beyond me.

A makeshift defence?... they had a makeshift team.

[zicorice]

Well that was frustrating.

Positives
- Being back where we belong.
- The two loans look OK.
- Samba didn't make a single save-he should have though.
- Carvalho looked confident when on.
- Was in pub from 11.45.
- It was sunny.
- Daughter got a pic with Leigh Wood.
- Plenty of room for improvement.......

Negatives
- Continued to look toothless
- Defence looked very shaky for goals.
- We never upped it when they went down to 10.
- Hughton really did not want to gamble at 1-2 or against 10 men.
- Grabban did not look sharp.
- We have a problem defensively.

Overall, somewhat disappointing, but Bournemouth looked a very decent side. Brooks best player on park until red carded needlessly.

But wasn’t this a second string Bournemouth side with 7-8 first team players out  and were down to 10 men for half an hour , but were still a decent side, or did we make them look decent?

Add to the negative column if you want.

[Salvatore Matrecano]

Look, I share the frustrations and I know Uwantlee has said the same since day 1 about CH so fair enough. I just dont think losing today was down to CH. Also think ripping it up and sacking the manager now ends the season before it starts and would jeopardise any potential incomings before the end of the month.
