Good game.

Should have been three away points.

Nevermind. A point away from home. Bodes well.

Shame about the result but I'm very encouraged. It's a marathon, not a Sprint

Did not deserve that. At all. But I will sure as hell take it!

Well played to Forest, a good side. But for all your nice passing I thought you lacked a cutting edge. Smithies barely had to make a save second half.

Us? Toothless. Rhodes isolated up front. Not a fan of the initial tactics. Much preferred the 3 centre backs at the end. Gave Hunt license to attack and his running won the penalty. I predict under 21 honours for that lad very soon. If we play 442 I'd rather stick Hunt on the right wing.

Think we probably need another winger and definitely a striker before the window closes. This one up front is bollox.

Thought Scannell worked his nuts off again. Two excellent shifts from him now.

Delighted with a point, concerned for us overall unless we get more striking options in and look to have a go at this division rather than let it come at us.

DARN..
first half two great balls into rhodes/jordan running through-should have done much better..couple of other things that broke down when wrong ball/cross was played.. rest of it was chasing forest.. long ball to big bloke, headed it on to smaller quiker bloke who ran away with it.. ball into big striker, he stepped over it 4 TIMES, for the smaller lad to run through..We fell for it everytime, which is easy to do when you are neither tight to the man or far enough back to cover it.. they hit the post and the bar and have a few close calls in melees in the box..
no one in 90 minutes picked up fat boy Reid..??
Said it before, I can have a right good game at any level of football if no one marks me/picks me up/challenges me...
Dont understand why we left him on his own all game, maybe simon could tell us??
Second half they had one shot that went it.. ball broke down after a cr-p unneccessary pass from town in their own half , one ball past clarke and cox ran in and buried it from inside the box.. they had bits and bats but we had the last 10 minutes where we applied some pressure in their half, this was a masterstroke from grayson, who brilliantly saw that if you push up and have more players in their half you have more players to pass to, more players to allow more width and when it breaks down, more players to crowd the ball and try and win it back..GENIUS, it clearly is...
Jack Hunt jinked inside past one and then down the side of the full back who then mounted him for the penalty.. Jordans only shot on target...
Forest shot themselves in the foot, I personally have only seen 3 footballers , when substitued, take what looked like a lap of honour(that was during a world cup final that they had won comfortably)..Forest took just under 8 minutes to make 3 subs, the ref played 4 minutes(no trainers on the pitch at all).
It was enough time for us.. Its not right, we desperately need a midfielder who can run at pace with the ball in the central areas, we need a centre back who has some prescence and pace and we really do need to stop having long periods of lumping it high and long when jordan is playing.. The 3 central midfielders who started dont get up with the ball or ahead of it and attacks are mainly slow and sporadic because of it..
It was definitely a point gained..Forest are not bad at all and they were genuinely up for it..

Lucky Town ! But why didn't Hunt go down the wing until the 93rd minutes of the game...we were screaming at him to but he kept playing it back inside...managers orders ?

I thought we missed Arfield on the right hand side and we bunched too much in midfield...which also got deeper and deeper as the game went on. Novak and Rhodes were isolated up top..some 30 yards ahead of midfield..Why play so deep ?

There was an ocassion in 2nd half when Novak won a throw nr their box and our entire midfiled 4 were still in our own half !! Too much concession of ground, to many tippy tappy passes that didn't hurt Forest at all.

Not decisive enough...Too many long punts for their centre backs to head back towards us (about 55 of whih we won 2).

A poor game plan Grayson, sorry.

The pluses ? Well no one had a 'bad' game. We tried to play football but we are handicapped through lack of any pace and lack of ambition.

The Stadium was like a morgue again. What was the crowd , 8,000 ? sounded like it.

Disappointed by the performance and the 'event', delighted to get a point, but under no illusions that we are going to get out of the bottom 3rd this season.

Thanks.
& disappointingly predictable (The game not you)
Southampton away at City on Saturday..
wanting to win..
TRYING to win..
City defense outnumbered as the Saints surged forward, Suck in that air, & 'frame ya 4 king selves' Town.

1 up front never works.
Dennis Law only took one season to find that out.

i think you will find that
a. the ref cheated for blackpool.
b. le-ds shouldnt have to play blackpool as they have white shirts a la real madrid..
c. it was all the young full backs fault..they thought he was class on saturday but apparently now he is sh-te and should never play for the club again.. you cant argue with the time and patience they have shown this 19year old can you????
d. anything else they can now see in hindsight...

Well done on your point!

Forest gave us a footballing lesson , particularly in the fhrst half, we didn't deserve our point, however, over BOTH opening games we did. Another striker is quickly needed. Is Church coming? Oh & gutted for the Beeston boys!
