I know it's easy to spend money ..... But.... Don't rate Collins enough to call him first choice cb and I don't rate Derbyshire one bit. We must buy a striker and a centre half. ( at least one striker). Derbyshire and miller are not good enough to fire us into the prem. simple as that. You watch derbys new lad score a bag full this season for an average team at best.
Monkey
we were at the same game agree with your comments
Reidy MOM
Miller and Hendo scared them to death
Agree with your comments about Mackie - wanted the ball all the time and did not stop running all the time he was on. Used the ball well but also made a lot of runs to pull people out of position when he did not have the ball.
Monkey..i for 1 was a little bit critical of Cohen....but like i said in another thread...i thought he had a really good game today.
I was also very impressed with Lichaj & Hobbs. They showed they could do what defenders do best....get their foot in. Also Lichaj was decent at supporting the attacks as well.
I'm pretty sure they will start to gel nicely after another 4-5 games.
My only major concern of the day was Collins....stupid mistakes like the 1 he pulled today will get punished if we're not careful. The sooner Forest can get a quality partner for Hobbs the better.
By the way....does anyone know why djamel abdoun didn't feature today? i was hoping to see him in action down the wings.
gandy, didnt the bbc mention something about international permits? god knows
as for collins, how much can he get away with?
He was like it last season, through pre-season hes been at fault for 2-3 goals, and even back into the new season hes a liability. For goodness sake, stick halford there if we really need to, least hes fairly solid..
I initally thought it might be some kind of work permit issue too....but i looked on his wiki.....
...he's born in France (he even played for the u18's -19's & u20's French national teams)....so surely as djamel abdoun has EU membership to move around Europe freely?
It makes me laugh that Pep can make about 20 mistakes in a game and no one says anything, whereas Collins makes 2 and people are calling for his head.
Thought Collins had a decent game. Don't get me wrong we need another CB; but it just seems that Collins bashing is the latest bandwagon for forest fans to jump on.
It's usually the way Hoons because when a midfielder makes a mistake it rarely leads to a goalscoring opportunity but with a defender it will and highlights the error more. Pep does seem very hit and miss and certainly takes time to gel. If he's going to play the DM role to allow Lansbury more attacking flair then he needs to improve his defensive duties. Collins has the ability to be a solid player in this league but if he continues to be a liability then people will keep criticising him.
Cohen played great yesterday, really led by example should have been MOM. Lichaj as well was good as well and put in a commanding performance. Mackie and Hobbs and Patterson look like they have real promise as well.
Still think we need a CB with Hobbs as Collins would be good back up (where has halford gone!?) and an out and out striker as well even though when Miller and hendo came on they did quite well but think they would be best used in away games or in the last 10-20 mins of a game!
1st game though
1st win
1st goal
1st clean sheet
Good Result!
