Over

Freeman puts it over, that’s pretty much game over

Nice run from Mighten, another corner

[Paplane]

Hard luck lads.

3 preseason games. 1 cup game. 2 league games. 1 goal

[audiosmee]

Taylor looks a handful, Mighten bright when he care on- gonna skin some full backs, Freeman looks like he’ll open the doors when he gels. Yates won battles and brought the ball forward better.

Figs- did he win a battle? Ribs- targeted. Grabben- never skipper

Defence look rattled- too ready to clear the ball rather than look after it so likely a confidence issue. Never gonna have a well performing midfield if the defence are clearing the ball rather than looking to control it

Full time

Another game without a goal
The positive elements of the second half will gloss over a lot of it
For me the miss from Yates with the header was the opportunity to get something back from the game (but people will blame Grabban)
Mighten did more than Da Costa has done since joining
Freeman is quality but we need to get the ball to him
Lolley looks a shadow of who he was (the party line will be that he’s not fully fit = he is)
Jenkinson seems a better option than Gabriel (he should be given his experience and wage)
Ribeiro, Samba and Figgy don’t really seem like they want to be here

C'est finis, au revoir Monsieur.

[PsychoStanleyStone]

2nd half was good, total dominant Forest control, lots of advanced options, full backs advanced, high line, lots of good interplay

it's what if we had set up more like this at the start and gone more, all out for the first goal

Jenkinson has done well today

Is that a joke? He's been absolutely shite.

Better than Gabriel has been in my opinion.

I hope that is Jenkinsons last ever appearance. He is rubbish

It might well be, I was baffled as to why we signed him (I accept we needed a right back with Tendayi’s injury). 

Notwithstanding that I can still see what he added today and he wasn’t rubbish.

Samba- 5
Yuri-6 at least tried
Figgs - 1 - schooled by Moore - needs to be dropped
Worrall -6 ok
Jenkinson - everything that is wrong with the club epitomised
Colback- 5 - needs to step up
Yates-8 our only player to do anything positive - can’t believe others couldn’t see it today- won every 50-50 and tried to get forward- should have scored though
Freeman 6 - felt for him first half
Grabban - 3 - not a captain and missed another sitter in the most important phase of the game
Ameobi- 5 gallant display but not a number 8 where he played second half
Lolley 2 - either injured or wants out

Taylor -7 excellent
Mighten - 7 ditto.
