Ben Sheaf nowhere near good enough, clearly we were obligated to buy him and we need to try get him into the team but... wow, worst player we have had at this level. What does he offer? slow.. only goes sideways, gives it away as much as he keeps it, can't tackle..

We are 3-4 players short and we will have a terrible season unless we improve the quality.

I wonder what Danny Thomas has to say about this

“We need centre backs. I’m not happy with the recruitment”

“What is wrong with you? Do you hate Mark Robins? You’re a bed wetter?”

- Dabo has to play at centre back

“What more could we do without any other players”

 

[Esoterica]

We did see last season Rose was a liability when he wasn't up to speed. I'd hang on starting him until he was fully fit - get his confidence right and he looks the part.

Could also argue, tbf, that Rose in last 30 bringing the ball out of defence could make space for Walker to exploit, when he inevitably comes on.

Yeah I get what you're saying but that was coming back from a fairly long term hip(?) injury though. This is just him being a couple of weeks behind in match fitness because of the Vid/isolation isn't it? If it was a like for like change I'd agree but that one change has meant playing Dabo at CB, the bumbling puppy-clown on the right and Hyam switching back to his proven weak side. Too many knock on consequences for me, especially when Maatsen was always going to take some time to adjust to the level.

Their defender will 100% get a retrospective ban for that.

Won't help us today. Ref hasn't seen half the things going on out there. Maybe his eyesight is as bad as the Sky picture.

 

[mark82]

Kelly
Godden
Rose
2 loans of top quality??

3 more for me. Another central midfielder and 2 centre backs.

For what? Sorry, I must have missed it, or can’t remember (few drinks!)

 

[Johnnythespider]

The sky blue wall needs a bit of re-pointing

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Moore’s playing pretty well, decent distribution after his first kick. Rest look well off the pace. No attacking intent at all, Maatsen getting the ball out wide and no one looking to get up an support.

Think it’s the robins way if I’m honest.

We only ever attack with wing backs strikers and Ohare. Our midfielders never get involved

 

[Johnnythespider]

And a striker with pace

 

[mark82]

He kicked a bobble in the ground trying to clear it

It was unlucky, but guarantee Hyam gets slaughtered for that. Also played Johnson onside for the other big chance Forest had.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Wasted money on Bright when we need a decent CM and CB

 

[shmmeee]

Wish we signed Papa Souare

Got Papa Smurf at LWB

 

[Otis]

For what? Sorry, I must have missed it, or can’t remember (few drinks!)

Punch or slap in the face to COH. Deliberate.

Red card if the ref sees it

Blocked O'Hare off and as O'H fell, slapped him across the face

 

[Grendel]

3 more for me. Another central midfielder and 2 centre backs.

cranie must have one leg hes streets better than Hyam and we’ve had to bung Dabo in

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Sheaf - 30 passes, 26 completed
Hamer - 28 passes, 21 completed

 

[mark82]

For what? Sorry, I must have missed it, or can’t remember (few drinks!)

Slapped O'Hare, and pretty hard unlike Hamer's slap last year.

 

[stay_up_skyblues]

Blimey is there not another 45 minutes to play? Nooses on hold lads…. Give it till the end at least.

 

[Grendel]

It was unlucky, but guarantee Hyam gets slaughtered for that. Also played Johnson onside for the other big chance Forest had.

where was Hyam fir the goal? He was jogging in midfield wasn’t he?

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Want to see a lot more from Gyokeres in the second half, Forest back line couldn’t have had it easier

 

[Tea & Busquets]

i’d be happy if we score an equalizer and park the bus the rest of the game

 

[Hobo]

How we have rose not playing and a RB at CB

Not fit enough for 90 mins at the minute. Don't panic it is just first 45 mins of a long season.

 

[procdoc]

The Sheaf hate is pathetic

 

[fatso]

Wasted money on Bright when we need a decent CM and CB

He was a free!

 

[mark82]

Wasted money on Bright when we need a decent CM and CB

We needed an AM too. We still do unless Bright gets in shape.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Here comes Rose

 

[Happy_Martian]

Rose coming on

 

[Ccfcisparks]

He was a free!

His wages is what I meant mate haha

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Rose on for dacosta

I'm just imagining Rose getting hammered, when we need him to have a decent role this season going forward. I do agree mind you with the knock-on comment, never a fan of playing players out of position - would rather we pulled a reserve CB in than that.

 

[mark82]

cranie must have one leg hes streets better than Hyam and we’ve had to bung Dabo in

To be honest, I'm not sure another slow defender is what we need.

 

[larry_david]

Maatsen is about 50 yards up field for their goal. Hyam is 40 yards up

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Da Costa off

 

[kg82]

Red card if the ref sees it

Ahhh, right at the end? Sorry, ifollow had only audio for me today (fuming!!!), so I’ve got a stream going and couldn’t rewind etc. Didn’t know if it was intentional or accident.

 

[NorthernWisdom]

Da Costa off

Did he ever get on?
