Stoke City - Nottingham Forest

[Strawberry Avenger]

This game is following a very similar patter. Sat back.. not attempts... now Stoke on the up and looking likely to score whilst we sit in and hope to hold them off.

Forest have Car, Mighten, Zinc Man on the pitch.

Given how frail Forest are at the back, if they go chasing forward they'll be punished.

Forest don't have any progressive CM players on the pitch to switch play quickly or a no.10 to do what Krov' did.

Zinc Man makes a mistake.  Credit to Samba.  'Legs save.'

'All Stoke.' Fray.

They are well on top now... this would be the time to change thing... break up the play and add some fresh legs.... will he???

[Joe Baker Legend]

Samba booked

[Strawberry Avenger]

Samba saves the shot from a tight angle. Shot goes into the side netting. Samba *Booked for 'something.'

Forest on the rocks.

But with the 2 cdm we effectively have 6 defensive players... this should give some freedom for players to get forwards. They’re not even trying to get forward at the moment.

Jeez only a matter if time before we concede, stoke mullering us…

we're getting battered

Forest are doing well to keep it 0-0.  The Forest away support are phenomenal.  I thought it was a home game when I heard them sing Mull of...

Mighten has just got forward, challenged on the edge of the Stoke penalty area and nothing given.

Our fans are doing their bit by the sounds of it

Goal.

Stoke 1-0.

Inside Samba's post. Perhaps he got a hand to it.

But it has been coming. Forest have no answer. (Fray.)

Hopefully Car' can get the equaliser.

Sorry but if it stays like this CH has to go. No attempt to get anything other than a 0-0 from this game. Pathetic tactics

[Floridared]

Ok we’ve lost this one also, I cant see us scoring, we’ve not even come close so far
