This thread is an embarrassment and just highlights the intelligence levels of some on here. Wait til 90 minutes are up and then have your moan.

Forest are setup in a completely different way to any shape they have played this season and with a new starting XI under new management. That has thwarted us so far this half.

Let Johnson do his thing at HT and then come full time if we are still that crap, by all means moan. Being at the game, rather than at home being a keyboard warrior looking at stats- gives you a far more accurate picture of what is going on...

OK Dad. 

If I'd been a keyboard warrior at AG last week I'd have typed similar. Others at the game are saying we are shit. It's no secret.

Whats with all these "your allowed no opinion until full time" comments - is that just for football matches or elections, votes, and referendum as well ? Just asking so we know when we are not allowed opinions until the final results are in.

It was 0-0 HT Cardiff remember. A lot can happen yet.

CO'D apparently on the right again. Weird.

I do wish we played left footers on the left and right footers on the right!

0-0. 

God help us, with "fans" like most of you lot..! 

We're playing a team who is in freefall themselves but they are CLEARLY playing better. But yeah "fans" like me should shut up until we're 10 losses in a row and bottom 3.

Don't question my support, I give my full faith to both team and manager but how far does it go??

[cidered abroad]

Change to 4-4-2. Tinkerman strikes again.

[The dastardly red]

very interesting.....Lee's last throw of the dice or just what we needed?

 

[petehinton]

Josh Brownhill on for Little. O'Dowda on for GON. 

No idea what that does to the 11 but it seems like Brownhill is playing Rwb and COD is CM. so 2 wingers playing in the middle of the park....

[Major Isewater]

More energy for the second half , COD and Brownhill on for Little and GON .

So whats wrong with tinkering it when it was ineffective in the first half?

[RockleazeRed]

As soon as Brownhill comes on (I can only listen, don't live in the UK so maybe wrong) the energy levels seem like they go up a gear.

[Davefevs]

Who's RB?

[Unan]

Although not a straight swap, O'Neil off and Brownhill on 

[CheddarReds]

Little's hamstring must be playing up like it was in the week?

Bailey Wright I believe.

Never said you weren't allowed an opinion but many on here base their opinions on stats alone which is foolhardy.

Sense of humour been eradicated by the game ?

Or have I been whoosed ?

you used the word "pants".  Sense of humour's got nothing to do with it

[tinman85]

Surely Callum at wing back? Seems odd

[Fiale]

Sounds like we have come out swinging... see LJ does read the forums

Its not foolhardy. That's why stats are produced. They are a reflection of the game, for the most part. Like the score.

Why can't we ever stick to a team! Poor management

Quite possibly the most pathetic display I've seen  for years 

Johnson out 

Ridiculous comment. You obviously weren't at the Ipswich game then

That wasn't Woods' debut though...

I'm from  the Bristol Post school of journalism , it was approximative but you got the gist .

[Bar BS3]

So, just to be clear...

Everyone was happy with the line up. 

Then suicidal and a poor first half. 

Now critical because we are changing things..?

 

[redfieldred]

Sounds like more threat now.

It is when done in isolation. Stats can be very reflective. But in many cases they simply are not. We could have had 15 crosses flash across the 6 yard box and not one be classed as a shot but all could be considered a goal scoring opportunity....

 

Score wise - yeah we're 0-0. So let's get behind the team.

Wether we were happy or not doesn't matter. In reality, we don't really know what'll be best. Johnson has all week to get a team together to face Forest so it's ultimately his fault for making the choices he makes.

Fair play to make the changes. It hasn't worked first half so change it up early in the second and get going again. 

Mind you some will still criticise this too no doubt.
