Need to grow up some people.
Concentrate on the player now......he did show some good touches and was an improvement on Zincs.......who for his goals is good, but really is an annoying player who gives away the ball far too often and gives away fouls far too often - you can see why he is no playing in the PL.
Silva for me offered more "all round" than the odd Mighten flash in the pan..........if Silva can keep this performance level up it will actually be better for us to have Silva instead of Mighten in the months ahead.
Dont like Colback at Left Back - we lose all attacking threat down the left side...........as much as everyone hates Bong - at least if he plays we do have some left sided threat which then stops their right back marauding forward.
Anyway, overall a god awful performance - and Yates will have learnt now to never pass the ball back to the keeper blind........utter stupidity and he knew it as well. Look before you kick the ball in that situation and if no time hit it wide..........
Car's 'hate?' Apathy more like. And bitterly disappointing........................................considering his.......................godly price tag. Easy to ignore him when he does nothing in goals or assists. He wasn't even up to the 'Car' standard that toasted Boro' under 'Car Hater' (allegedly...) MoN. An utter light weight who needs a very narrow set of team parameters for his game to work. Struggles with tracking back, tackles. Not his job? What about imposing his 'talent?' £13 million wonder goal? Or supplying the perfect pass, surely he can do that to help our striker's score? Ironically. That £13 million would go someway to supply Forest with a permanent set of fullbacks, LB, RB that Forest need to get Cooper's preferred formation going, another goal scoring winger, a CM who can impose himself on the game, a powerful striker. 5 players who would give Forest so much more than Car's herculean price tag didn't, doesn't, won't. An ill-advised buy from people who should have known better (...but turned out they didn't know the Championship that well at all.)
The only person who needs to grow up? Car'. He's lost. A lightweight who should never have been brought into the Forest squad than anything more than what Forest paid for Maji. A far more wiry player who showed way more for Forest. He hasn't got the fortitude in mind or body for this league. He couldn't even do it on loan.
You make a fair point about Silva. He's had to wait a while for a go on the wings. He nearly scored a goal! Ironic considering Mighten is still a developing rookie who blows hot and cold (which young players do, to be fair.). But I suspect Silva is an accounting transfer along with Drager. Perhaps they'll be used as paper weights to get Forest some players who can contribute going forwards.
You don't like Colback at LB? You're telling me. Had Hughton done that, he'd have been taken down off the cross and nailed back up, re-crucified. Forest look a mere shadow without Colback in CM. About as imposing as yesterday's tea leaves for a nice strong brew.
Bong. When you're best CM is ahead of you in your 'strongest' position...
Awful? Yes. And Forest still had 2-3 chances to bury Boro' after we gifted them a goal head start. Yates may well have looked to the sky. 30 lashes, Yates. 'I must never pass it back to the keeper without looking. I must not pass it back to the keeper even when I'm looking. etc. Etc.' Write it down 100 times, Master Yates. Not his finest honour. And I'm a Yates fan. He's lucky Brian Clough wasn't his manager for that one. He would have been spit roast.
Just looked at Forest's 'highlights.' They didn't even include Zinc Man's miss. Jeeze. Colback done twice easily at LB/LWB. Wrong position for him. Yates and Garner in CM? Not enough experience for me. Samba passed it out to Yates who was already being closed down. Yates could have passed it out wide. Forest seemed asleep on the ball. I did spy 'a' run with Car' driving forward with the ball at his feet.
"Imo that should be it for Carvahlo. Didn't seem to offer anything, carded straight away and not to be seen tracking back. Seemed so disinterested. All these mangers and loan teams can't be wrong. Maybe he did seem a 13M player before coming to us, but new league/country/team dynamic it was a costly gamble. Lessons learnt I hope." said one YouTuber on NFFC YouTube.
The 2nd goal. Colback well beaten. What were Forest's central defenders doing? Boro' had two players unmarked in the box.
A positive. Cooper did try to make attacking subs to change the game.
