Nottingham Forest - Bristol City

[Sabricadabra]

That’s daft. Forest and Derby have shared more players than any other two clubs in the entire world.

Christie looks alright to me.

Some good some bad. Once they are a proved a red fine. If they sack us off for that lot they deserve all the stick they get (Commons). That's just the way it is for me (and plenty of others).

Defensively he looked awful, especially 1st half. Going forward he looks ok. I'm old school, I like my defenders to be able to defend. That's what was so impressive about Cash last year in a new position, he defended aggressively and looked after the back post. 

I also get that being effective going forward is supposedly more important in the modern game. Although Laws and Pearce were pretty good at it 30 years ago too, so not as modern a practice as some claim. Full backs 1st priority is to stop the winger/wide midfielder/wide attacker for me.

Lost amongst all this, does anyone know what the injury situation is with McKenna?

I cant find anything about him mate.

It seems odd that the question wasn't asked at full time

Hopefully he will withdraw from Jock squad and spend two weeks recovering and working with whoever plays CB with him in next game....

Strange , he was the player doing the interviews on Thursday/Friday so it must have been last minute 
Let’s see if he joins up with the Scotland squad

If he’s allowed to join up someone needs firing.
If you’re not fit enough to play for your club you don’t get to join up with your national team - very simple.

Covid?

It does not work like that; players have to turn up and be assessed by the National teams medical people; its a FIFA ruling

I would guess there will be exceptions; player in hospital, suffering from Covid etc

One thing that stood out so clearly from the post match interview with Harry Arter if you also read between the lines is the lack of leadership on the pitch. He talks about how good the togetherness of the team is before and after the games but it's that important bit in the middle the actual match. As most have stated before on this and other forums Grabban in never in a month of Sundays captain material, Grabbs only plays on a football pitch for himself, he has never been a team player at Forest or all his previous clubs. Its also obvious that SL is unable to fire up a team and it takes an older player (Dawson) to throw sum f***s into the plays from the side line to get them going. If SL stays then the first thing he should be doing Monday is to decide who is the best person to lead this team on the pitch.

Ah ok.
Can you imagine Cloughie letting anyone out of the door who hadn’t played for the club on Saturday?
And Ferguson would’ve had some interesting conversations with Wales when Giggs ( again & again ) was mysteriously injured.

Unless of course Lamouchi dropped him for some small indiscretion
