So much better with Brownhill and Taylor

Cullen and JBG need a bit more

Murger · Post by **Murger** » Mon Sep 18, 2023 8:36 pm

We look so much better with Taylor at left back. And Koleosho is just brilliant.

Amdouni is going to be a really good un.

Carwin261 · Post by **Carwin261** » Mon Sep 18, 2023 8:36 pm

Whatever happens this season Koleosho and Amdouni will already be on clubs shopping lists,if we go down they’ll go for big money,and if we stay up they’ll go for even bigger money,

Colburn_Claret · Post by **Colburn_Claret** » Mon Sep 18, 2023 8:36 pm

Well the first 4 games have shown we can score goals, against anybody.
The defence still has a bit to learn, but the biggest problem continues to be giving the ball away in our own half. Some of the choice of passes, and weight of passes, have been awful.
Still more than happy to go in at halftime ahead.

JimmyRobbo · Post by **JimmyRobbo** » Mon Sep 18, 2023 8:37 pm

How much better do we look on the LHS with a proper left back?

I hope I haven't cursed our 2nd half.

Really exciting going forward but needs lots of sticking plaster at the back

And the middle I think, let's see if we can improve more 2nd half , but can't complain to much leading after halftime . I thought I saw an improvement from the 30th minute

BigGaz · Post by **BigGaz** » Mon Sep 18, 2023 8:37 pm

Very, very concerning opening 25 minutes but pleased as punch how we’ve grown into the game thereafter.

We look much better when we’re patient with the ball before feeding Amdouni and Koleosho when they’ve got a yard of space to turn and attack.

I’d be getting on the lads on message to get the ball to Koleosho as often as they can and instructing him to run at Montiel as he is now a bombscare for them.

Be also keen to see Benny on at some point in the 2nd half as long as he’s now on message with the requirements for effort and tracking back in the Premier League

RVclaret · Post by **RVclaret** » Mon Sep 18, 2023 8:37 pm

A half of two halves?

Felt we played really well after 20/25 mins.

Zeki has been superb. Get Koleosho running at their right back who’s carded.

Beyer had a shaky start but he's getting his head on now.

Brownhill a bit wasteful at times.

gtclaret · Post by **gtclaret** » Mon Sep 18, 2023 8:38 pm

Despite us looking exciting when going forward,we have some serious work to do at the back.We are playing ourselves into trouble,and that corner when they had 3 players in front of the goal without a defender anywhere near them was very worrying.I very pleased we are ahead,I'm not sure we can hold on.I hope I'm wrong

Correct.

Even though I'd love to follow my hme town team retaining talent the only way forward is increasing degrees of that model.

Both those players have looked promising despite our poor first games.

Ampth7 · Post by **Ampth7** » Mon Sep 18, 2023 8:39 pm

A really terrific team goal with Koleosho and Amdouni showing two bits of class!
Not sure VK will be too happy with the way we keep giving the ball away, especially in silly areas of the pitch and they look a threat on the counter which has killed us too often already this season. Our attacking corners and free kicks have given them too many chances already.

Tribesmen · Post by **Tribesmen** » Mon Sep 18, 2023 8:39 pm

Amdouni what a gem... The 100mil player Vinnie was talking about?

Really liking Brownhill you see he understands the system well, communicating and steering his teammates. Very energetic. Koleosho and Foster working hard doing their part. Gudmondsson come on throw one of the Belgian lads in. Tresor would make us way stronger. Benson too.

Taylor one of the better defenders so far. More because Beyer and Al Dakhil aren't really playing well. But he does his job also a leader on the pitch. Strong player.

Burnley looking really good at times, and there's still alot of room for improvement.

BabylonClaret · Post by **BabylonClaret** » Mon Sep 18, 2023 8:41 pm

We started well for t mins then git a bit nervy and they pushed on so we were on the back foot for the next 20 but since then we've been the better side.

Forest played into our hands by not pressing us when we were nervy. For 5 mins we kept the ball better, git more confide t and then we've looked dangerous.

LoveCurryPies · Post by **LoveCurryPies** » Mon Sep 18, 2023 8:41 pm

Sky commentary is slightly favouring Forest especially Jamie Callagher.

Pickles · Post by **Pickles** » Mon Sep 18, 2023 8:41 pm

A bit of a dodgy opening twenty minutes. Midfield has been poor but that is to be expected unfortunately. Defence a bit iffy. Koleosho has been phenomenal. Foster good too. Belting finish from Amdouni. Even game, we've had the quality when it matters.

KateR · Post by **KateR** » Mon Sep 18, 2023 8:41 pm

Still not sure why Brownhill is allowed to take corners and freekicks lol I always feel he's be more of a threat on the middle at receiving end

Foshiznik · Post by **Foshiznik** » Mon Sep 18, 2023 8:42 pm

Could not imagine the team who played the first 25 minutes was the same team that played the last 20 minutes. What a transformation.

BigGaz · Post by **BigGaz** » Mon Sep 18, 2023 8:42 pm

Beyer looked brilliant with that little Steve Davis-esque drive out of defence in the championship last season, but he’s been caught out a few times doing it this season, twice at least in this game.

All well and good doing it against cloggers but up here they’re just going to outsprint you and take it off you. It’s an important part of our game and helps us break the lines so wouldn’t like to see it coached out of him but think he could refine his decision making about when to do it and also when to release it once he’s committed to doing it.

Nonayforever · Post by **Nonayforever** » Mon Sep 18, 2023 8:42 pm

We have some real quality in the team now, given a bit of confidence which is what a couple of wins will bring, then we have a decent team.

CryerBFC · Post by **CryerBFC** » Mon Sep 18, 2023 8:43 pm

We have to score the next goal. Forest come back and at 1-1 I feel we’ll crumble, as we have done each time an opponent has scored against us this season.

CoolClaret · Post by **CoolClaret** » Mon Sep 18, 2023 8:43 pm

Phenomenal strike by Amdouni and great play by Luca…

Interestingly, we could be a ’better’ away team than home this season if teams are going to try and push up against us…

Tricky Trevor · Post by **Tricky Trevor** » Mon Sep 18, 2023 8:46 pm

Our poorest play is not helping out the man on the ball. Nobody coming to meet him means he gets closed down and forced into playing a desperate pass. Our best moments have all come playing Dycheball. Even the goal started with a hoof down the wing.
Taylor has been a major plus, if he can develop an understanding with Koleosho we are laughing.
