Nottingham Forest - Wolves

[Chicago]

Nah. I thought that was Sangare's best game. I watched it on the television and he broke up and awful lot of plays against a very strong and robust Wolves midfield. Anderson was excellent. He really does look like the real deal and him and MGW did look like a very good midfield pair. I wish Anderson didn't take free kicks though because they have been mostly poor and as a big lad he should be in the box ready to receive them.

Cunha is a very very good player. I would love him to be at Forest and he was a menace all game. Wood was extremely unlucky with the offside and generally we have been solid. We are not going to get twonked because of the way we are set up. I suspect we are not going to thrash many teams either but I think since Wolves are clearly mid table then we are on par with them.

I also did like how we reacted n the last 15 minutes and Nuno bringing on Taiwo to play with Wood was the right move. Shame will didn't get all 3 points and with a bit of luck should have had them. Both the handballs were handballs and both should have been penalties. This new rule is a bit odd if you ask me because anywhere else on the pitch it would have been called a free kick.

We just have to purge the demons of Anfield in a few weeks and we will be really flying. I don't think we are too far away.


Chicago: Onwards and Upwards.

Sangare did break up play a number of times effectively, using his long legs to good effect.

He did also get beaten easily a number of times which was incredibly frustrating and looked pretty slow. I don't actually think Yates is necessarily any better but he definitely brings energy.

The fact Sangare was subbed so early is probably not a good sign for him.

Havent seen the stats but would guess Sangare had the most touches of any player first half. If you do that you are going to give the ball away and get beaten on occasion too. Thought he was excellent at ball winning but frustrating at times too.

Other stuff, Anderson was exceptional, Jota’s brief cameo entertaining again, Nuno didn’t particularly use his subs but may have been the right thing to do.

Predict Forest and Wolves will end up finish next to each other in the league table, not sure exactly where but we look very closely matched to me.

Let’s be right we would love to finish where wolves did last season
Out of the dog fight could of gone either way
Think we were the better team
One more good window sees us pushing up the league

[Plymouth red]

We are looking competitive in the three games but a little toothless up front still. We've been creating more but for one reason or another cannot get that second goal.

It's early days but so far there is enough to suggest that we should not be looking at a relegation battle but pushing towards mid table. I just hope that we come out of this international break all in one piece and ready to push on. Two often these breaks seem to have a negative impact on performances

It’s not a number 9 issue - others need to contribute

1st I would say Wolves were slightly better
2nd - Was enjoyable, great save from Johnstone and Wood just offside which is a shame.

MGW probably had his best attempt of a free kick since he’s been here.

5pts from 3 games it’s a solid start probably should be on 7 but oh well.

Performances are improving, Wins will come. We will pull off some shock results this season I reckon.

Performances aren't improving we were worse today then Wednesday with our first team.

I thought Chris Wood was brilliant today. Our wide attacking players need to make runs ahead of him with their pace. I don't remember Elenga chasing too many balls with his pace today.

[TrickySte]

Decent perfotmance in the 2nd half. Just lacked enough quality in the final third to open them up & Wolves defenders/GK threw themselves infront of everything. Thought the subs were too late but then again Sosa looked a bit nervous when he got on the ball.

Anderson will end up being a bargain whether it was '£15m' or £35m. Sangare did alright but he does look a yard slow whenever someone can turn him. Would definitely bring Moreno in now & push Aina to right back.

Elanga and Odoi want dropping for me next game, both poor today especially Elanga.

Yeah, and to be fair to Wolves they played CHO pretty well (when they weren't booting him up in the air). Never allowed him inside to shoot.

Thought Dawson for them was outstanding.

[Salvatore Matrecano]

Agree Elanga not on his game today, wonder if yesterday’s events unsettled him a bit.
