Let's hope he has a confidence boosting good game. He was shocking last week at left back. Not all his fault but it's bound to affect the players. Just my opinion but I have always thought that it takes 4 or 5 games for a player to adjust to a different position. But RB to LB in a build from the ba...

Loyalty points are now pointless. Someone with a few hundred quid can come along and become a special member or whatever it is and jump the queue even if they have never been to a game home or away before. I wouldn’t be surprised if for high demand away games the club started to put an extra say £3...

still have tickets available for both away games on sale so far neither have sold out with Forest getting to general sale. I think the new system is just fine as it is with the 2000 required for first allocation. The only caveat is perhaps limited availability games like Luton. I have a feeling tha...

Can't think why 67 people who've never seen us play would choose a game v Salford as their first game!

If they are some of our millions, or soon to be, foreign legion of fans then they may have got confused as we are playing the reds of Manchester

An amazing feat of engineering. Hope no one presses the button whilst they’re playing!

Made me giggle that

I wish we’d had a button to press against Spurs!

To be honest, we didn’t really have much of a defence last season. The difference from then and now though is that we were always on the front foot in the Championship and rolling teams over. This season will be very different. There was a fair number of games last season, even from the middle to t...

Trafford doesn't seem to be able to do this & yesterday most of our passes out from the back went straight to one of theirs....... Muric next game for me.

100% agree

BleedingClaret

I think atm we need to start with Cullen, Brownhill & Berge but in time 2 players need to do CM, which will require VK to have a fluid system of 2 wing backs and 2 wingers that are a LB, RB, LM, & RM when we’re up against it. Most seem to be deciding whether Brownhill or Berge sit it out, I’m thinki...

BleedingClaret

That’s in the championship though? That just doesn’t happen in the premier league. And even if they do get the ball over the defenders there’s a sweeper keeper they’re ready to deal with it. We are playing at a different level, stuff like this just doesn’t work Well it’s worked against us It worked...

BleedingClaret

Just we didn’t start pumping long balls last season when we made a slow start, there no chance VK is going to start “mixing it up” this season after 3 games. It’s not pumping long balls It’s playing measured balls over the high press or into space over the top to utilise our pace as Muric did for T...

You could play JBG & JBL wide of a 5
But play a RB 2 CH’s & a LB seems to make more sense at this point

It’s that old cliche - it’s not the defeats, it’s the manner of them. Well we’re conceding goals like I expected Thought City would hit 5 and the other two 2 maybe 3 Didn’t think we’d have such daft defences or a Kindergarten Keeper so about par Thought we’d be overrun in midfield with a 3 or 4 and...

I felt we started the second half against Villa with a stronger line up and formation than we started the match. If we started with the second half formation and evolved to the first half formation it would imo been a better plan. With that in mind I’d say in answer to the title of your thread start...

BleedingClaret

I actually don’t really want Mattsen
And I have a feeling that if he comes and a Premier League winger or ten sail past him, when he’s out of position, like he’s not really there, then
£31.5m if that’s true may seem just a little exorbitant.
There said it!

I still can’t get my head round people picking teams without including Amdouni

Based off knowledge of some of my friends who were on under 4000 (3rd sale bracket) in the old system and now comfortably in the top bracket, whilst knowing other friends previously with 8000+ points who rarely attended away games also still in the top 2000 bracket, as CT has explained above. We co...

When I saw Forest away being 2000 on a Monday night 2 weeks after playing them in the cup, I thought they would up the top bracket for Newcastle away at 3pm yes. If I’m not mistaken that 2000 bracket is a lot bigger than the old 6000 bracket which will just lead to a mass scramble for tickets (gran...

Interesting what VK had to say about the Dalek injury 'the good thing he feels pain because when everything is torn off the bone you don't feel anything' well one way of looking at it.

With Amdouni, Koleosho, Benson, Odobert to impact from the bench.

Feel the lads in the starting line up last night have earnt a shot in the league.

If he doesn’t start Amdouni, well?!?!?!?

The new Spurs are playing similar-ish to City, therefore I wouldn’t mind seeing us play the same system as we did v City, I thought we did well and Spurs aren’t City. Worth seeing how Muric’s ball playing gets on. I would like Brownhill in there and Berge can play that forward right role quite well...

Why do people feel they need to post these type of smug 'told you so' comments?

It’ll likely be cos some people felt the need to write a damning review on a player after 2 games in the style of he’s had two seasons now

As a team we did try a number of defence splitting passes and I said in another thread that I think Villa had their defensive structure and positioning perfect all game, there wasn’t any space to work with

On another they’ll come off
Especially with the speed of Foster

The majority of the time Koleosho gave the ball away were attempted defence splitting passes that Villa just cut out and either the rapid Foster or Amdouni would likely have got onto.

Thing is we’re not football managers, although we all think we know best at times.

Probably unsighted by the offside forward. Time all the rules concerning offside were reverted to the original in my opinion.

That system yesterday against Villa’s system was pure suicide We picked the wrong starting personnel too Shouldn’t have thrown Del Boy straight in and Benson can’t cope with the physicality of the first half hour of a game.
