Lew-T Posted October 19, 2021 Report Share Posted October 19, 2021 Lost count the number of crosses he blocked. Loves a tackle too! Brilliant find. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Its Smith Posted October 19, 2021 Report Share Posted October 19, 2021 Very good from him. Not many come out of tonight with credit but he can be proud of how he keeps improving 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDOXO Posted October 19, 2021 Report Share Posted October 19, 2021 Tanner was great. Utterly exposed by waht was in front of him. The ball was constantly coming down that side but he did everything he could have done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted October 19, 2021 Report Share Posted October 19, 2021 I thought all the back 5 battled hard, the penalty aside Baker was excellent. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeAman08 Posted October 19, 2021 Report Share Posted October 19, 2021 Can’t disagree. Thought he was fantastic. Impressed with his defending 1v1. Coming from Carlisle, it sounded like he was better getting forward than defending. Not the case at all. Looks an excellent defender and some flashes of ability going forward in his few games with us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hadleigh Red Posted October 19, 2021 Report Share Posted October 19, 2021 Thought he was excellent, loved that full bloodied double tackle. Looks a great signing! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is an outstanding RB. He knows how to defend and you can tell he’s been well schooled in the art of tackling, blocking crosses and positioning himself to not be beaten on the outside or inside and doesn’t dive in and make rash challenges Perhaps some our other players should take note, especially NB?

Dullmoan Tone Posted October 19, 2021 Report Share Posted October 19, 2021 But…. he needs to offer much more going forward. And if we’re being really negative -his throw ins have been terrible recently- he gave the ball away twice against Bournemouth. He’s a great prospect but let’s not get carried away yet!

Even more so than when Scott scored as all I could think was that got him off if the hook for that horrendous miss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bris Red Posted October 19, 2021 Report Share Posted October 19, 2021 Looks a decent prospect, always goes into tackles fully committed and looks like he has a lot of heart and endeavour about him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watkins1983 Posted October 19, 2021 Report Share Posted October 19, 2021 Hell of a player. That double tackle in the first half was immense. Going to be a city legend. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tin Posted October 19, 2021 Report Share Posted October 19, 2021 Tanner is exactly the type of player Nige wants to us to have — young, hungry, potential for growth, versatile. Great signing, and I hope we make more signings like him (eg Prem schooled, released, desire, resale if we don’t match his growth etc). 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Posted October 19, 2021 Report Share Posted October 19, 2021 Actually thought on the whole the defence played well. The problems are further forward. Tanner was very good. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Massengo coming on at a rate of knots. You would think with the balance we have of youth and experience brought in we would be lighting up the league…… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pongo88 Posted October 19, 2021 Report Share Posted October 19, 2021 He’s extremely unusual for a modern defender. He can actually tackle! It will never catch on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davefevs Posted October 19, 2021 Report Share Posted October 19, 2021 I echo what the vast majority above posted. My City MOTM tonight. Early days, but he does well one-on-one….he ain’t gonna stop every single one though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pezo Posted October 20, 2021 Report Share Posted October 20, 2021 I found myself trying to console myself on the way home, one way I did this was to think that at least the 2 (4 if you include Baker and Weiman) Pearson signings are good.

Davefevs Posted October 20, 2021 Report Share Posted October 20, 2021 Potential diamond. Made a great start to his career here. He will probably go through a bit of lull at some point, but looks a very quick learner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same NB who made an unbelievable clearance off the line first half? Who absolutely battered a couple of theirs with physical challenges? He made a poor choice by sliding in on Spence but Baker was obviously not the issue last night. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanner was very good. Agree 100%. We are in the middle of a rebuild, and at least we now look decent at the back. What we need is to now start focusing on the forward options, and start getting the right players for the rest of the positions. King isn't a long term answer, and James can't run the midfield by himself. Williams' injury hasn't helped things (again) but I don't see how or where players like Palmer or O'Dowda fit in (and in the case of the latter, it's not upfront!!) Martin was overplayed last season before his injury, and had probably played more than he expected to at this point in the season so far. Realistically if we can finish midtable this season, we've done very well. January will be interesting, because I don't see where the money is coming from, however it's blindingly obvious we are short of at least 3 first team signings. If somehow we can get these players in, we may be able to transform into a team that can actually create chances and keep goals out. For me, the main issue last night was that we tried to be too clever. Taking off all your strikers and leaving O'Dowda as the most advanced player, you were always going to make Forest think that there was something there for them. Especially as we have form for being soft later on.... Hindsight is a wonderful thing, especially because we should have had a penalty, and could have been an extra goal up if Wells hadn't hit the post. However, when you go in for a tackle like that in your own box, 90 minutes into a game, you need to make sure you are getting all of the ball, and only the ball, because you're opening yourself up for the attacker to go to ground regardless of whether you touch him or not. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is worth pointing out that the keeper saved Wells' effort, when you see it again on Sky. The replay shows it clearly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The replay shows it clearly. And the player's own reaction after the Scott incident also points to a guilty player. He stops running expecting a pen.
