Great to see the goals coming from straight down the middle. Keep saying that is where Delap will hurt the opposition, not just sideways wide and an aimless punt into the box. Word of caution we were undone at the back by some bog standard speculative balls into our box. Some better finishing from city could have been a different outcome. Delap will be different gravy, a handful and well done OG for sticking with him. Glad he also brought in Yates I did say either him or Sangare would suit our midfield..

Agree Mossy and Rutland. I've said Delap has something and just needs time. The goal he missed against Palace when he went for the spectacular instead of just rolling it in sums him up.
If Woody could mentor him in the cool dead eye art of being efficient in front of goal rather than having a rush of blood that would be brilliant.
De Crap has it in his locker to be the new Plankov and prove a lot of people wrong.

Yates is Yates. A leader, a grafter, a hod carrier that every team needs. Been saying it for ages. He's a force of nature on the pitch. The laughing assassin.

Stokey, you posted it was like when Nuno and Vitor was here, I think it felt like the Steve Cooper days, the team and support in unison, there was a lull second half, man city wasn't going down without a fight, I was listening on radio Nottingham and when Delap scored the third Brian Laws nearly exploded!, posted a bit ago that there's still plenty of football to play and no way will we fighting regulation on yesterday's performance.

Things seem pretty flat at the city ground. Since the shipping out of Vitor that and a plethora of decisions seem to have caused a serious downward spiral. Why was Hutchinson suddenly bombed yet NDoye elevated? Wood may have a bigger injury issue than we know but he is never utilised.
Williams is no left back and the unbalanced effect starts there. Murillo looks lost in a three and the midfield has no anchor. Sangare must be injured. Cho just a but part but at least he can shoot. Mgw just disappears and his fancy turns a flicks cost us critical possession.
Somewhere there might be a condition stating that mcatee and Delap have to start I don't know but stevie wonder could see that we seem a bunch of round pegs in square holes.
BTW, I think mcatee is better in possession than Mgw but the lack of accuracy from midfield is costing us. Corners, fee kicks attacking and defending still woeful. We insist on getting the ball wide and punting aimless crosses in. Without a Hutchinson for a Chris Wood it's toothless.
In summation, we lost a game at Palace when we should have been 5 nil up at half time. Only clueless Forest could manage that. Who's to blame?

Mcatee was fantastic 2nd half. Where does mgw go. He disappears and his distribution can be shocking. Who is cunha? Absolute garbage and munos not much better. I think sangare would suit better than mgw.
