Ah so Dagnall is the new boo boy,

Like Doyle and O'Brien before him.

I'm personally not gonna single Dagnall out, there were players out there who played far worse, for the entire for 90 minutes. Another horrible performance. Two relegation-standard teams, as bad as each other. Thank God we have a cushion, is all I can say. This 'brand of football' mantra is wearing thinner by the game.

drip...drip...drip...drip...

Royal, name those players who played worse than Dagnall for 90 minutes, please!

McEveley & Golbourne, for a start.

And Wiseman. Totally inept as a defender, clueless going forward. Sooner Bobby Hassell is back the better. Only player to take credit yesterday is Digby - always wanted the ball, always showed urgency. It's a sad state of affairs when it takes a 17 year old to kick the so-called pros into life...

Wouldn't say Wiseman is clueless at going forward,there has been many occasions when he has run with the ball from defence which has resulted in the opposing defence panicking,just not been anyone in a promising position for him to pass the ball to,I'm not saying he's brilliant but clueless definately not.Regarding Dagnall, didnt have a brilliant game but there was a couple of occasions yesterday when he actually held the ball up well and laid it off or through(Andy Gray doesnt do much better),1 occasion for Done when he should have at least hit the target.Norwich City (and it looks Like Southampton will do likewise) passed straight through this division with practically the same squad of players that got them promoted from league1,so it just shows that players from league1 can get promoted as long as they play together as a team and not premiership has beens or money grabbers, Mellis, O'conner,Arismendi (who) are just a few that we wasted money on. Although not mathmatically safe yet it doesn't look like we get relegated and we have not even been in any relegation trouble which no one would have dreamt about before the season started. I say judge Keith Hill and his signings after 2 seasons not 30 odd games.It takes time for a team to blend and play as a team.Some fans are never happy and want instant success. Look at Chelsea spent millions and can't play as a team,just sacked AVB.To lose Drinkwater,Vaz Te and Butters in a few weeks was a big loss (even Man Utd would struggle to replace their top 3 playmakers if it happened) and we have had to adjust. I agree our football at the moment is not very exciting or effective but I thought yesterday was a good fightback in the 2nd half after a poor 1st,remember Forest are fighting to stay in the division and just be thankfull we're not. For me Done was the MOTM followed very closely by Digby who seems to have the makings of a very good midfield player and could be an excellant replacement for Butters. Not expecting anything from the next 2 games (mainly due to our now dismal away performances) but I won't get downhearted or panic. Just give the squad and management team time to build a team that plays as a team.
Cmon you reds

Fair comments, REME; and Royal, McEveley didn't play 90 minutes, so who else?

I'm not sure what point it is you're trying to make. Will it make you feel better, if I just name everyone who played for 90 minutes? Chris Dagnall played for less than 30 minutes. Others on the pitch played worse, for longer. I don't understand why he's being singled out.

I'm not trying to make a point! I was merely asking which players you were referring to, and you mentioned one who hadn't played the 90 minutes you stipulated.

I don't think Dagnall was on long enough or has made enough appearances so far to make a judgment and some players didn't play well, but I prefer not to get into the game of A is better than B, and C is sh...ocking; I don't think it serves any purpose.

I prefer to support whoever plays for us because I have no influence on the team and constant moaning is just a waste of everybody's time, life's too short.

However, each to their own! COYR.
