Willy Boly playing again for Nuno today. And after 20 minutes he was sent off
Perhaps he doesn’t like Nino.
second yellow was a farce apparently
Our point away to Luton is starting to look like a good point

Do we play a system without a traditional striker because that’s what GON wants, or do he just have zero faith in our strikers? Fabio never struck me as an out and out striker and needs someone to play off, but if we brought someone in then Fabio would take Cunha’s place and I just don’t see that happening, so he still wouldn’t start.
As for Sasa, who knows what his role is now
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Was interesting that O'Neil was saying yesterday that he wants a number 9 in January that Cunha and Hwang can play off in their more natural roles. I take it from that that he doesn't believe Sasa or Fabio are good enough, which is harsh on Kalajdzic at least as he's not really been given much of a chance.
Sasa of course missed a year of football due to an injury. Maybe the view is that’s taken away his game, as it did with Jonny
We’re probably lucky that Neto was young enough to bounce back from his injuries
Maybe Sasa was never all that to start with? Maybe we gambled on yet another player nobody knew, and it turned out to be a dud?
£300,000 wasted on a leasehold coffee shop! 😩
I don't think Sasa is a bad player, but he is too slow and cumbersome for the Premier League and for the way we play. We often look worse when he is on the pitch despite him looking a handful at times in the box. He would probably do well in another league or a team with the right set up for him.
If we can get money for him and bring in a striker better suited to the way we play, I think it would be best all round to be honest.
I still get the impression GON is yet to arrive at a set way he wants to play. The norm at the moment seems to be 343 with Semedo and Ait Nouri as wing backs and Neto, Hwang and Cunha up front. But that means no places for Sarabia or Bellegarde who both have something to offer. Then a new centre forward and maybe another signing or two in January could change things also. So the way we play could well change in the second half of the season to what we have seen so far

Ridiculous, foul on Boly if anything but because it was a second yellow neither VAR nor common sense could intervene.
You are assuming VAR are capable of a correct decision
I don't feel that either tackle was a booking.
Compared to Coufal's two tackles on Bellegarde they were nothing.
Just shows the inconsistency of referees.
Either way, it keeps Forest doing badly which helps Wolves.

No Fabio. Is he on his way in January?
RAN being back is good news. A huge part of how we played with the hybrid approach between 343 and 442 when we had a good run of form.
Fabio, Bellegarde, Neto and Traore missing from the bench. Wonder if that bug has hit more of the squad.
Scored from a corner ! Get in
