Leeds - Nottingham Forest

[Paplane]

I was swearing at my monitor last night watching Andersons corners and his set pieces.

For a so called 100M player they really are truly shocking the vast majority of the time.

Which poses the question...

Why does he still take them?

Who's decision is that?

Is he the best of a bad bunch though?

Surely he has the quality to do better than what he was doing?

It isn't normal for professionals to not be able to kick a dead ball from the corner into the middle of the penalty area so frequently. Most players in a team should be able to do that.

Let Ortega take them. Couldn’t be worse. I thought Ortega’s kicking was one of the very few positives from last night.

Agree (about his kicking, not about him taking corners!)

I haven’t yet watched it back but felt like all three were within touching distance when seeing them live.

I wasn’t impressed with ortega as a keeper. His kicking was good, but not convinced at all.

I know it’s clearly early days for him and I’m not piling on him - just an observation.

I do agree, but he’s playing behind a back 4 that have never played together before. Arguably all of their goals would have been prevented if we had our usual back 4 who talk to each other and mop up opposition chances. They wouldn’t have got caught out by the long ball over the top, would have tracked the man for the second and would have closed down the cross for the third. Williams and Murillo are really good at hassling opposition attackers, whereas we looked completely passive at the back last night

He didn't have anywhere near a good match, but Ortega is way, way down the list of people I’d point a finger at for last night’s disastrous performance.

Daws is right.

Nah surely Daws can’t be right. It’s all Morato’s fault!!

Hmm tricky one. Who'd know more? A former Premier League player or someone posting on a forum?

I take it you watch Forest Focus know it all?

If you do I suggest you watch what Kelvin Wilson has to say and then come back...

I take it by this point you realise it's not making a scapegoat, it's watching the f'in game.
