    Match Thread Coventry v Watford

    Really fear for this one. Deeney is going to have a field day with our timid, naive centre backs and Sarr and Hughes will keep our wingbacks pinned back. Midfield battle is going to be crucial. Hamer and James are going to have be bang on top of their game if we are going to get anything from...

    DaCosta

    I didn't think he was as great as people made him out to be. They were very favourable circumstances for him and don't think he was in control of a thing he did ball at feet. Only a couple of the crosses were actually decent too, half the time he was just kicking it as hard as he could into the box.

    Match Thread Forest (H) Tuesday, 7 pm KO

    Only we would play a short free kick from 45 yards out in the 100th minute of a game when losing.

    Match Thread Forest (H) Tuesday, 7 pm KO

    It's difficult to have movement up front when a team are sitting as deep as Forest are but you've got to try and work the centre backs laterally or drop 5 yards and then make a run, then back on the shoulder. These 2 were just stood there waiting.

    Just go 2 at the back and throw Osti up front. No point in all these crosses with baka and Biamou there.

    Match Thread Forest (H) Tuesday, 7 pm KO

    Jesus, our 2 strikers sat on their arses while we move the ball left and right. 0 movement. Terrible. One of them has to try and disrupt their back 4 there.

    There's a bobbly late equaliser in this, i can feel it.

    Hope we win a 97th minute penalty to equalise.

    Our defence need to realise these are not the conditions for lobbing 15 yard passes into midfield.

    Match Thread Forest (H) Tuesday, 7 pm KO

    Midfield 3 have got a little flat and a little deep for me in this game. Not sure how much value the wide front men are going to bring in these conditions either. They need to play a little deeper so the width comes a bit deeper on the pitch and then central midfield can step up a little higher...

    If he cuts anything it should be that man bun.

    Fabio Tavares - Sky Sports Rumour

    Thought it was fairly widely accepted that Bremang isn't going to develop to the level we need. If he's released and this lad takes over as number 9 in the U23s with a higher potential and a couple of seasons to develop there, then it's a good deal, surely?

    Well the 2nd thing I read was that Bayern Munich were putting in a sell on clause!

    Fabio Tavares - Sky Sports Rumour

    First thing I read was 'a loan deal with an obligation to buy for 15 million Euros'. Thought we'd been taken over for a minute!

    Cringey football terms deserving of a temporary ban

    Not a term but that 'making a heart with your fingers' goal celebration makes me want to 2 foot whoever does it.

    It's a tough, tough league and we've had a lot of injuries but with that comes opportunities. Now it's down to the rest of the squad to show that desire, show that hunger and prove they can step up and play a part.

    Player Ratings vs Birmingham ("a")

    Thought Osti was head and shoulders above Hyam yesterday and carried the back 4 through most of that game. Aside from that header Hyam spooned into the air in the box, there were a couple of other occasions where he let long balls bounce around him when he should have been making sure he got...

    Match Thread Birmingham City away

    I must be the only one not yet sold on Gynecologeres. I mean he's clearly got better pedigree than Biamou and Baka but he's a direct upgrade, another defensive-minded forward. Not sure that's really what we needed, felt he looked lost when it came to beating a man, getting the ball out of his...
