Gotta be the old 3 5 2 wing backs again

Take off Pask for Dacosta, Sheaf (had a great game tbf) for Rose

Glad we got in at half time 1-1. Great goal by Biamou but both fullbacks especially Pask really struggling.

They are so much better than they were in the away game!!

We are playing long which works well when we pick up the second balls

Pask recovered well from his awful defending and has done well since

Need to get Ohare on the ball he’s our outlet and Dynamo and key to winning the game

Big second half performance here. Need to play our game a bit more. We’ve been very reactive just trying to keep up with Forest here. Could be a very bad night if we concede again and Wednesday go on to win.

What happens when you're able to make as many signings as you please

We must improve second half. Forest shading it. But we allowed a poor goal to spoil max's excellent goal. James got to get into the game more and Sheaf has been quiet. Allen coming on at 60 mins may get at tired legs on a heavy pitch. Got to get our players into the game. Gylores almost non existent. Difficult but its a game to be won.

Fuck me if there’s one thing I can’t stand with this bastard 2 up top is how we constantly bypass the midfield.

Aimless twatting long balls with no one available for knock downs and second balls.

With that midfield we look much better when we bloody us it!!

I haven't noticed you going on about Shipley so no need for me to make that comment. I respect your view on Biamou as you should respect other people's; it's just the relentless repetition that annoys everyone. You've made yourself famous on here with this, perhaps that's what you want?

But Shipley gets dogs abuse by many posters on here and you stay silent.

I care about Coventry City Tom not someone who has a story and is nowhere near good enough

And again Shipley gets vile abuse and you say nothing

I dare to say anything negative (and factually accurate) about one player and you are all offended

Why?

He is a weak link in our team and has been for many games. Poor positioning, always gets done by tricky wingers and a poor passer of the ball.

In all fairness to McCallum he's up against probably one of the best wingers in the league and isn't as effective as a flat LB.

Forest have better players and offer more of a threat. This is a game where a point will be gratefully received.
They should be near the top. That said it would help if our midfielders were not being overrun. A game to dig in.

Don't see Forest or Derby staying down near the bottom
I have never saw either of them finishing down there. Still need to try and get points of them though.

Defending well generally, but need to get O'Hare and co on the ball, as it is just us battling to stop them at the moment. We are not holding the ball up front well enough . Need Bournemouth to pick up something, regardless of our result. Come on City!

Go on then. Do you think he’s been great in the last load of games?
He's been fine, best left back the club have had for a very long time. No coincidence that we've tightened up massively since he got into the team. Can't recall him being exposed in recent games. Tonight he's up against two players in Christie and Knockaert. Full backs will get beaten from time to time especially against somebody with Knockaert's ability.

Bollocks to “should be glad with a point”, we’ve shown we can hurt them, need to get our heads back in the game and get control of the midfield (because we haven’t got anyone to bring on to do that).

Too many players having an off day, really missing Fadz at set pieces. Anyone know why he’s still out?

Going to be a tough one to win this, we have to be better second half we are not able to keep the ball when in their half, horrible pitch too tailor made for a
mistake by someone let’s hope it is them.

As oggy alluded to it early. The 3 in middle need to help either side full back. It's not really worked. We been poor last 25 mins.

Hopefully we can 're pay favor be crap and win take that.

He was so sure they would win. He made the bet, I never had to buy if they scored first. Forest, can we play you every week lmao

We have to score another to stay in it.

Attacking them is best form of defence as their defence isn't great.

Their final ball is much better than ours.

It's difficult given the weather but we need to not get sucked into going really direct; we have looked more likely with quick short passing moves.

Hamer is half a foul away from a yellow card, but is trying is hardest to get one of them sent-off.

James is not at the races today. McCallum has been done a few times. Pask has been decent defensively since his mistake.

Gorky and Max just not seeing enough of the ball at their feet.
