The Official Nottingham Forest v Bristol City Match Day Thread

[Unan]

Since switching to a back 3, HT score 0-0, 0-0, 1-0, 0-0

[Mike Hunt-Hertz]

I half entertained the thought of going today, as it's just up the road. Thank Christ I took the wiser option of unclogging my drains.

[RedLionLad]

Tedious first half. Hoping for better things after the break when City are playing towards us.

[Sandhurst Red]

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...

Apparently made a superb save by Final Scores commentator.

That's what reminded me to ask on here

How's Giefer been?

Not had much to do. One instinctive save, one dodgy kick but distrIbution otherwise okay and a few catches.

[TV Tom]

Get Tomlin on for god's sake

[Crimson]

Still plenty of time left.  Lee knows what it takes - Believe!

this is a personal request and please don't take it in the wrong way as obviously I don't know anything about you. It would just stop my blood pressure rising to unsafe levels if you could avoid using the word "pants" in the context of something being bad. It annoys me so much I felt compelled to write this, says a lot more about me than you I know.

 

Knickers!

No you are stupid for backing a coach who hasn't got a clue of how to get the best out of the players. He will take us down unless SL gets rid, you mark my words.

And if you're wrong, will you go away?

People moaning about city first half but come on when this season have we been good it the first half, once or twice at the most

Well, that's indefensibly s**t then and absolutely worth moaning about. 

Any manager worth his salt will send the players out fired up, and carrying out his instructions from the off.

Writing off the first halves of games because we're almost always listless and pedestrian just isn't good enough.

Course he wont

[man in the middle]

No shots against a team who have only scored three goals in eight games, Could we get more negative, attack!

Are you here? 

Don't think your question is relevant

can I say in return if you are at match perhaps you can't see the wood for the trees

Just believe this team will gel.  Not losing so far is an improvement in itself

I think, unless we do very well, then LJ should embarrassed at the end of the season (if he's still here). Spent near 15m now. 

[Shtanley]

Kind of game where you want a pacey striker to come on off the bench.

Ah, it's the managers fault again then.  Brilliant.  So the fact everyone thought it was a good team selection doesn't count then: he's 'set them up for a 0-9 draw'!  How does that work then?  Do the players not have brains in their heads?  Is their every move controlled by the manager on the touchline?  Get a grip.  Time the players took responsibility.

How do you set up a team for a 0-0 draw? You play compact and keep men behind the ball, stick to your shape and don't commit too many players forward when you do have the ball. Doesn't always work but that's how you do it. That style of play WOULD be dictated to the players by the Manager. In effect he is controlling their movement if he asks them to play that way as there are certain areas of the field he does not want certain players to move into!! So I suppose you could argue the players may be carrying out the instructions of the Manager.

One shot in 45 minutes of football would suggest that is the way we have at least started today particularly when listening to the words of the Manager before the game where "not getting beat" seemed to be the priority.

Wasn't writing off first halves, just stating a fact that for some reason the team never get going in the first halves of games

2 subs on Odowda for O'Neil

Browning for Little.

CO'D apparently on the right again. Weird.
