Nottingham Forest away fourth round FA Cup replay match thread

I’m pissed another season is over before we’ve bought Valentine’s Day cards but lay off Sam. Bloody hell it’s a penalty. Anyone can miss them. He did a lot of good in the 120. Underrated on here, that boy.

Nope. I take away we shouldve won and once again missed several chances to have won the game. 
My opinion on Bell is not swayed by a penalty. Hes not good enough and will never be. Simple as. 

What is the reason that we didn't take our chances in your opinion?

Dickie would have been a decent option. I just never had confidence Sam would score. A shame, he just isn’t that type of player. I feel for him but football is ruthless and debates on penalties will always be had. 

“Dickie would have been a decent option”

Based on what?

Perhaps we lack quality?? I really like the way we are playing under Manning but this is way too many games weve not won whilst being the better team. Hopefully some extra additions in summer help with that.

Bell and Mehmeti as part of the front 3 then, did they perform okay?

I'm not saying that is my first choice by any means but do think it could be an option/Plan B or C at times..young, energetic, better shape. Especially for a more counter attacking type game.

Weak penalty by a weak player 

Ah well. We can concentrate on the league and aiming for 12th place now 

Unless you were there, how the **** do you know, you uber miserable eeyore, that it was ‘weak’  On 5Extra commentator said it was a good pen (albeit at a good height for the keeper).

Mentality and leadership. Plus the fact he’s very good with the ball. 

But Sam Bell is a striker. He’s paid to put the ball in the net. 
What makes you think that Dickie would have a better chance of doing so? 
There is absolutely zero evidence to back up your claim.

I’m not being OTT in saying that Wells miss might be the worst I’ve ever seen in a city game. 
 

Almost a bit relieved it happened to him and not Cornick. 

It literally went through his legs when he was goal side from a yard out.  Unbelievable miss and agree, I’ve not seen many worse that’s for sure.

How are we to know who the best penalty takers are…?!? Who are the 7 players that should’ve been ahead of him?

It would be hypothetical so pointless and like I said, hindsight.

Matty James certainly. Williams, Vyner. Form and experience.

He did miss though right - 1 of 9 in total? Would suggest he was not one of the best ones?

Yeah I agree. We have hardworking players, who seem to all be pulling in the same direction, but we don't have clinical players, besides Conway who isn't good enough yet to carry us.

What I would say is there was some smart management of players time tonight.

James & Knight got an hour, Conway 75 & Wells the balance plus McCrorie 80 odd minutes, Tanner had an hour.

Pring & TGH got the night off & the new lad is available for the bench on Saturday.

I get your point but although it’s a shit way to lose it is far better than the pasting some were predicting after we named a side with Andy King in it.

Oh yeah don’t get me wrong - in the scheme of losing it’s far better than a 5-0 or 6-0 and the managed minutes point is well made. 
 

The deciding factor for me is whether they’ll be “up” having taken a prem side all the way or whether they’ll be “down” having ultimately lost. Won’t know that until Saturday.

Matt Withers on RB saying that Joe Williams was outstanding. 

And also pointing out that Sam Bell:

- Set up our goal

- Set up the chance for Wells

- Made a goal saving tackle in extra-time 

"Weak mentality" tho apparently...

Because he didn’t take one.

Therefore he can argue he’d have scored when truth is none of us have any idea.

Just hindsight again.
