1960maaan Posted February 26, 2022 Report Share Posted February 26, 2022 After some promising performances recently, that was rubbish. Too many off days, and from some good pass and move football early on, we managed to fall back to early season form. Kalas was poor, Williams was poor but I'm happy to give him a free pass. Everyone else ineffective, even Scott had his least impact in a game, delivery was poor and his head seemed to drop after a blocking from Weimann. Bentley was the only one that was any good. Good saves , quick off of his line. A mention for Cundy, who in his cameo looked solid. Which may be just as well as he may be needed to start if Kalas's injury is anything. I was disappointed that we didn't swap Martin out earlier. In a game of passing and movement, we could have done with Wells's mobility earlier. Even get James on and push Weimann up. Another bad day. 2nd best nearly everywhere, again the Ref fell for anyone falling over near a challenge, no wonder Semenyo lost it for a second 13 minutes ago, Curr Avon said: Just one shot on goal in the second half. Weimann ballooned over from Scott's FK on 90. A game to instantly forget. Midfield dominated. Poor in possession and few chances created. Bentley kept the score down with some excellent saves and Cundy impressed in the second half, snuffing out Keenan Davis. I actually thought we started ok. Passing and movement was good, I even thought how different we looked from a couple of months ago. We faded so quickly and lost shape . The change of shape seemed to work against us, can understand it with Pring on a Hello though. Scott waisted at WB, Williams didn't seem sure of his role and Massengo looked lost. 2 minutes ago, RedM said: Absolute garbage. I can't defend that. We can't defend anything 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YGBjammy Posted February 26, 2022 Report Share Posted February 26, 2022 Didn't watch the game but seen on Fotmob app we had an xG of 0.36; not great even away from home! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxjak Posted February 26, 2022 Report Share Posted February 26, 2022 (edited) As always.........feel sorry for our away followers, who spent their hard earned to support us? They probably made more of an effort getting there and back, than our motley team did on the pitch? Although it is great to see what an enormous difference NP is beginning to make, shortly after his one year anniversary has passed?

Red_Alligator Posted February 26, 2022 Report Share Posted February 26, 2022 A very poor performance from the lads today, excepting Bentley of course. I feel for those who travelled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Win, lose or draw it's always pretty boyant on the coach journey home. But today it just feels flat. No away win since Peterborough in Oct is demoralising. We have seen some good performances, eg Preston but some awful ones too and today is right up there. We can take the losses, but to be outclassed in all areas (except goalkeeping maybe as we didn't test theirs enough to judge) is hard to take. We had a good away following but were as quiet as I've seen us for large periods of the game. We had nothing on the pitch to cheer and we couldn't lift the players when we did. When Forest were loud, they were loud. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davefevs Posted February 26, 2022 Report Share Posted February 26, 2022 1st half and 2nd half resembled each other. Flat performance today. Big week for the Sports Science….rest and recuperate the order of the day. Thought Robbie Cundy did really well. As did Klose and Bentley. Ref was a effing disgrace…again. Nothing really bad, just a complete “homer”. Embarrassing officiated. My work mate was linesman (near side / camera), he gave us nothing either. Klose’s yellow at the end shows complete ineptitude by the ref. Boils my piss. Didn’t affect the result, but still, this can’t go on. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Banjo Red Posted February 26, 2022 Report Share Posted February 26, 2022 (edited) Apart from Bents and Klose the rest are very underwhelming kalas I think could be sold to free up the wages very average. Pring great player question marks over his fitness levels cant last 90 mins before today. Dasilva great as of late but his size worries me that he gets targeted during games would prefer a taller fullback. Cundy looked very assured as I said earlier can't be any worse than what we have already.

REDOXO Posted February 26, 2022 Report Share Posted February 26, 2022 Positives Cundy did well. James got a few minutes. Bentley excellent. Negatives pretty much everything else! Particularly the final ball and Pring being made to look like a cart horse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brad blit Posted February 26, 2022 Report Share Posted February 26, 2022 I only managed to watch second half (bloody kids) but in that time Kalas made 2/3 bad decisions leading to big chances for them, and not the type of mistakes I expect from an 8mil international defender. He wasn’t the only player to have an off day but he seemed the worst of a bad bunch 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His analysis was but his attitude ie was kalas injured he said something daft like he couldn't fulfil his position,he didn't want to say yes he was injured, no need for that sort of answer.

Red-Robbo Posted February 26, 2022 Report Share Posted February 26, 2022 Ultimately, we can point to defenders having off days, but the ball didn't travel into the Forest half enough and when it got there, it didn't stick. When your penalty box is constantly being attacked, mistakes and mix-ups will happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odd reaction imo Guessing he just meant he doesn’t know if it’s a good thing as the players might not improve for it. We are so up and down it’s impossible to say how we will play next weekend. I don’t think it was too weird an interview but I do think Pearson is to blame a lot more than I expect most fans will be thinking. That formation is not one to get anything away to Forest 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pongo88 Posted February 26, 2022 Report Share Posted February 26, 2022 What I find weird Is that in 50% of the matches City look like a good team that’s developing, but in the other 50% City look like a team heading for relegation. I know young players can be inconsistent, but City has a few very experienced players who can’t play well for two matches in a row. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
