SedRA Posted October 3, 2020 Report Share Posted October 3, 2020 1 minute ago, Davefevs said: Phew, glad that's over. Tough watch in the second half. Forest really stretched us and their Wide Forwards stopped our WBs getting us forward and cycling the ball side to side. Suggests there's a bit of work to do for our 352 versus a 4231 (then 442). Bentley will rightly get the plaudits tonights, and I give out a rare 10 out of 10. Vyner came back well in 2nd half, Pato drifted after being involved in everything 1st half. Weimann a strong last 20. We created our own problems to some extent by not finishing them off on the counter-attack. Little shout out for Tommy Rowe, who was so steady today. Agreed, I thought the counter attacks were indicative of the way we played after the 30 mins. Was all a bit rushed, imprecise and lacking composure. The lads dug in well and it was a great win but I was disappointed in our ability to stem the forest tide and get much of a foothold in the game second half. Feel like we could’ve done with the Brunt for Paterson sub a bit earlier. Link to comment

Garland-sweden Posted October 3, 2020 Report Share Posted October 3, 2020 We fought in the second and won. Bentley, what a keeper! Mom. Well done City!!! Link to comment
The Journalist Posted October 3, 2020 Report Share Posted October 3, 2020 Thought we were miles off second half, went long too quickly and struggled to stem the tide, but it's the type of game you win when confidence is high and things seem to be dropping for you. Feel a bit for Lamouchi, who's quite likely to be sacked off the back of that despite his team being way better than us on the day. Link to comment

I agree with your comment to some degree, but defending is a part of the game like going forward, and we did keep that ball out with great saves, great blocks. Forest will get going once they get a bit of rub of the green, but we walked away with the 3 points when it could have gone pear shaped. Thought Freeman was really good for them and put in great balls. With who we have to come back later in month we are in a really good place. Link to comment

We played much better today, but only when the game was unwinnable. Saw this post on their forum: Well he was warned. He sets his teams up to consistently play on the back foot, the players have clearly reminded him they can play. This is a pattern and demonstrates they want to save face. I don't feel sorry for him, time and time again its his team talk and set up prior to the game thay ***** them up, I've every hope with the players we have. Not the manager. Thanks Sabri but its a no from me. This could have been copied and pasted from OTIB during last season! Link to comment
