Match Thread Nottingham Forest vs Coventry City (A) - City Ground - Sat 19th September (5.30pm KO) (6 Viewers)

[stupot07]

8 players from the championship season in the starting line up again.

It's a real fuck you to some of the players - Torp was brilliant on Wednesday even if you ignore the goal. Dropped.

 

[fatso]

Forest defenders are looking at that team sheet and looking forward to an evening off.

 

[MacReady]

That’s an incredibly disappointing line up.

 

[HadjiChippo]

Based on all I’ve heard about Gboho, and he looked decent against Villa too, you’d think he’d be ideal next to Rudi behind the striker. I don’t think EMC can play there, even more so in this league

It's not really setting a good example is it? Play badly = keep your place, play well against Villa = nah dropped.

 

[fernandopartridge]

I'm not sure why anybody is going on about the Villa game as if anybody came up with much credit. Gboho utterly anonymous for the second half, Hamer the odd glimpse but no control. Torp good goal but just got played through time and time again.

I don't think the new lads are doing enough in training

 

[procdoc]

One of the worst 24 hours of my life finding my mate hanging from his bedroom ceiling and now Frank Lampard has put this bunch of wasters out to make it worse.

Sorry for your loss mate

 

[djr8369]

Maybe there’s a plan but I can’t see what it is.

Is ideal, he gets the ball and his first thought is to go forward and get at them.

EMC will try and outmuscle players and keep failing. He hasn't got the pace to beat them and even more so he's more central and not out wide (if it's 5 atb)

Some truth in that and who knows about what happens behind the scenes.

 

[Skybluedogwood]

Just found myself checking you can still make 5 substitutions in a game

 

[stay_up_skyblues]

Thought Cherif & Gboho looked good midweek, but don't mind EMC playing. More concerned about midfield. There's too much sentiment being applied around Grimes. He's not good enough for this level, and he's certainly not athletic enough to make up for it.

If it’s a back 4 and EMC is out on the wing I back him to find his feet at this level. As a striker/false 9 he’s wasted, and pony. Didn’t work when MR tried it and hasn’t worked this season.

We have one way of playing and won the league below doing it. We signed players for that system. It’s fucking baffling. If we get tonked today it’s verging on a dereliction of duty from FL.

 

[Nick]

Maybe there’s a plan but I can’t see what it is.

Play it around the back, take 3 touches instead of 1, get pressed, hit it long to aim for BTA who will win zero headers.
Rudoni will go on an adventure, Grimes will end up having to press and leaving a big gap.
Let them score easy goals from set pieces.
Not allowed to tackle their players.
All ask for Gibbs-White's shirt at the end, although he's Lati's mate so he's already got first dibs.

If it's 4 at the back, is that Mfuni at RB?

 

[wingy]

Yes. In great detail, twice.
I couldn't believe it at first!

Do share!!

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

Someone’s gonna have to expand on the “French thing” I assume this is gonna be more entertaining than our performance e

 

[PVA]

Few lads here absolutely gagging for us to get hammered

 

[Marty]

Is Lampard trying to get himself sacked for a big pay off?

Forest aren't a high pressing team

 

[Boicey]

I'm just joking mate. Badly obviously

Awful news. Not much else to add. Poor soul

Zzzz
Reads again
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

 

[Sky_Blue_Daz]

BTA
Bout that action come on lad make a name for yourself!!

 

[stay_up_skyblues]

If it's 4 at the back, is that Mfuni at RB?

If it’s a 4 then must be. But it’s surely a back 5 (six when Grimes drops in to dictate the play of a midfield that isn’t there).

 

[Nick]

Imagine if they were gagging and actually were in charge of picking the team.

 

[Cov kid 55]

I don’t get this team. Torp was at the heart of everything we did well on Wednesday night, without thinking about the goal. As someone has said, 8 from last season’s team in the starting line up. I fear another defeat, but God I hope I’m wrong. PUSB!

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Sky have us down as playing 3-4-3

Suspect Caleb is RWB

Rushworth
Thomas Pinnock Mfuni
CY FTT Grimes JDS
Rudoni BTA EMC

 

[RegiswasGod]

P45 for Lampard.

4D chess from Lampard. If nobody, including the players, know what the formation is the opposition can't plan for it.

Awful thing to witness, the football is really, really insignificant in life.

 

[robbiethemole]

With that pile of shit, he’s got to be looking for the sack ffs!!!

 

[Ccfcisparks]

That team is quite ridiculous

 

[HadjiChippo]

Sky have us down as playing 3-4-3

Suspect Caleb is RWB

He has to be, not a chance he’s playing Thomas as RB in a 4

 

[Saddlebrains]

Lampards trying to get sacked.

Only reason for that 11

Fuckoff

 

[Para1140]

I presume Pinnock will be the middle of the Back 3.

Knowing Lampard hes probably playing up front
