So we played well yesterday much more positive in our play and game plan. The difference is Haaland one chance one goal, that's we he plays for an elite club and Woods is playing for a relegation fighting team. Not knocking Woods but that's the truth. City get the chances we had it 4 or 5 0 win to them easy.
It was the old adage I'm afraid where a team struggling play well have chances don't score, and you just know the better team will eventually punish them. Same adage afyer that, the poorer team have chances to equalise, don't take them then the better team kill the game off. We've all seen it a thousand times.
Pep blamed the dry pitch for Forest missing those chances which helped City. A few rumours flying about we did that to disrupt the City play, but still we got to take a couple of them chances. Mind you if we play like that last 3 games, with the sheclkes off we may just about be OK. Let's keep our fingers, toes and everything crossed we get a couple points back aswell.

Did Pep see the weather all morning it was slinging it down!

Changed your tune quick from yesterday morning Clough what was it we would be 3 or 4 down in the first half hour 🤔.

I think he meant “dry” in comparison to Manchester. Incidentally, the damp climate up there was a major factor in the 18th century growth of the cotton industry and all those “dark Satanic mills”!

Tell me more stokey 🤣😂.

Well I stayed up until the end of the first half (2.15am) , thought we were brilliant. Neco can't cross or finish, MGW has an average set piece (would like to see neco take some) and I thought Danilo despite his immense work ethic was sloppy and careless with his passing. Could have scored 2-3 over the whole game. Really proud of he boys effort and NES got the tactics spot on. Almost out thought pep. Players just aren't at the quality (yet) to convert hose chances on a regular basis.

29 Apr 2024 12:42:58
Yeah, I thought we could have had at least a couple.

I think maybe Wood is feeking the pressure of being the main striker right now, wish we coud have had Awoniyi back for the run in, big loss.

Fair play, despite the result, thought we played well and looked really dangerous at times but no end product. They will be league champions for sure but gave them a very good game.

I would have definitely swap the.
wingers over yesterday, Elanga so much more of a threat on the left and has the pace to trouble Walker.
Both played well but both could, ve been more effective swapping about.
CARLO.

We gave a good account of ourselves yesterday and made the Man City players look human! Ola Aina was absolutely magnificent (which I've been posting for weeks) and should be first name on the teamsheet. Murrillo also brilliant. Pity Wood reverted to his original standard, not quick enough, not enough movement etc. he had a poor game. As far as Neco goes, I'm fed up with observing it, gives everything but just not good enough and should have put us ahead in the first few minutes - he is part of the problem. If we get Awoniyi back will be more confident and need to sign a striker who offers more than Wood next season. Enjoyed the game but very frustrating again.

29 Apr 2024 12:29:42
His confidence up top is lacking but his effort and quality defending makes up for it. We also don't have anyone better. Boly worth a mention. Elanga just keeps looking like he's going to do something amazing then pffffft.

29 Apr 2024 12:35:24
Aina was excellent on Sunday. Best player on the pitch. He's another one who will be going in the summer, though, like Murillo and MGW. If we stay up we might keep Aina but if we go down he'll definitely be off.

29 Apr 2024 12:40:44
Neco Williams has been brilliant for us this season RHR if you’re looking for a whipping boy mate choose between Sangare and Montiel!

Neco is not part of the problem he’s still young and learning and is part of the solution imo

Aina
Williams
Obamadele
Murrilo

Should be our back 4 next season.

29 Apr 2024 14:03:26
I like neco but his final ball be ut a shot cross or pass is frankly pants.

29 Apr 2024 16:24:45
I reckon Murillo won t be here pal.

29 Apr 2024 06:33:25
Well we gave em a game.
Tremendous all round performance
Wily Boly and Aina the stand outs for me.
Sels made at least two cracking saves.
We created really good chances and had City scrambling in defence quite a few times.
It says something when we come away knowing we should have had at least a draw.
Just a thought, would Hudson Odoi be better on the right wing? The times he gets by his man then checks inside. You might lose his goal threat from the right but the amount of crosses would be worth it I think.
It's frustrating when we're not consistent but I honestly think we have the makings of a decent team there. Maybe it's down to the youth and lack of experience in the team.
Keep the faith my fellow Reds
And remember it's Forest we're talking about.
When has it ever been easy 🥴.

29 Apr 2024 07:55:18
I've thought that on few a occasions, Carey, regarding Hudson-Odoi He's easy to defend against just show him outside. Cutting back on his right foot gives the defender time to get back. Against Everton he was found out. He was a steal from Chelsea.

29 Apr 2024 08:47:21
Red I think Odoi has a wand of a right foot and may become a revelation on the right.
He can take people on, has great balance but on the left his right foot is wasted most of the time.
Get by your man and cross it.
Trouble is I’ve been spoilt by a magician called
John Robertson. Overweight, no pace but could he play and he usually ended up having two or three to mark him!

29 Apr 2024 12:31:34
Agree Carey, CHO definitely on the right. Need crosses in from there. Neco can't cross his laces let alone a ball.

28 Apr 2024 21:49:40
Usual frustrating performance from us today. In that I mean we played really good football, but still came away with a loss. Wood forgot his shooting boots today, and looked pedestrian on two occasions where he had the chance to hit the back of the net.

Murillo again proving he is simply a beast. Probably Aina's best performance today all season. I think we always look more assured when Boly is in defence. But. passing was on occasion sloppy.

And why did we not sub Williams whilst he was still on the floor receiving treatment and before the corner came in? That's baffling.

Tactics were much better today. However I cannot help think why we cannot play like that from the start of the season. I reckon the usual Jekyll and Hyde performance will be resumed in the next game; play decent and then play appallingly bad. Hope I'm wrong.

Just like to give a shout out to boly chim. The lad for me with his height and passion. Just seems to give us that bit extra. And agree aina probably his best game. But as i mentioned sh1tty give us plenty of options on the left. Murrilo has mixed emotions from a lot of reds. For me i luv the lad. One of the only defenders looking for a ball that can change the game from the back. And bye that tackle was just f kn. Pure class. BUT AND A BIG BUT, plays long high balls. We've only got wood to score, rest a joke mgw hang your head for them. To many free kicks etc on goal. As clough reminds us ball was never to be played in the air from back.

29 Apr 2024 06:54:46
It was a brilliant recovery tackle, Bowie. He lost the ball in the first place by trying to play his way out of trouble but more than made up for it with that challenge. I've stated before that we need to enjoy him while we have him. Hopefully, considering the injury, that wasn't his last game for us. Not just yet, anyway. We're going to need him in the last 3 matches.

29 Apr 2024 12:27:15
Bowie: agree mate, re Murillo. Absolute find of the season that lad. 😃.
