  1. I thought Dubs did ok yday. Really good 1st half. A few players got caught out by the slippery surface as the rain started during HT which had clearly made the surface greasy. The 2nd was well hit, I’m not sure Pope would have saved it.

    Anthony Gordon

    He didn’t look up, he went into winger mode, put his head down and ran. If he had just glimpsed up he could have slotted the ball like Elanga did againt us. No need for a fancy chip, the goal was gaping if he’d just looked up.
  3. It’s getting ridiculous now. We lose possession in the oppo half and they just look to get in behind Burn who has no support. You can actually see his face saying oh shit not again. Tino is better on the ball, is a better footballer and far quicker. He may not be as quick as some wingers but he’s quick enough to make a difference. We are hugely impacted by the lack of recovery pace in midfield to help when we lose the ball. That only increases the need to put Tino in.
  4. No brainer for Ashworth to go tbh. They’re one of the biggest clubs in the world and he has no affinity with us. Here’s hoping we take Man U to the cleaners over Compen and, he makes not a jot of difference to them. If he’s as good as we believed then it’s a huge appointment for them.
  5. For actual fan attendance figures just look at this and then go find photos of that game and compare the photo to the Newcastle game…..
  6. Maguire looking solid when he’s just doing the simple things.

    Dan Burn

    When we lose possession towards to oppo 18 yard box we don’t have the pace to get back into position against a lot of teams. We’ve then the issue of a lack of pace in defense and BDB in particular. Bruno couldn’t track MGB for his early chance and I’m pretty sure for Elanga’s goal Bruno didn’t have the legs when we lost possession high up the pitch. Forest played a couple of no look passes into an area where they thought Burn would be caught out. We got a bit lucky imo, Forest are average at best and we played to their strengths again. Bruno, Miley and Longstaff will always struggle as a trio when we lose cheap possession in advanced positions.
  8. I didn’t think it was a foul on Awoniyi 🤷. The ball bounces off his knee, Schar flicks the ball, Dubs’ second movement is clearly to try to stretch beyond him to get to the ball. Awoniyi runs into Dubs. To me it’s a collision where there is no foul. I might be in the minority here and if a pen had been given it wouldn’t have been overturned but, I just think the striker made a bit of a mess of it all.
  9. Just seen Forest were robbed apparently. Player takes a poor touch, loses control of the ball and runs into a keeper who is trying to get the ball but, tv keeps showing a view from behind which for shortens the distance. Just to be clear; that was never a penalty. And, just to be clear; Andy Hinchcliffe absolutely hates us and shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near our games.
  10. We are abysmally slow in midfield and that is exposing us in front of Botman and Schar and then we have Burn horribly exposed to pace down our left. Willock is a huge miss, he can break lines with his pace. We are largely predictable and sideways in the middle. Can’t wait for next season/ to have all players available plus a reliable centre forward, we’ll be a completely different side to deal with.
  11. Eddie needs a bollocking for this. Forest are almost playing no look balls down our left. He’s hung Burn out to dry here.
  12. Bruno already nowhere near MGW in a foot race
  13. Hope we’ve got a plan to protect Burn from Elanga’s pace. And a plan to cope with MGW

    Joelinton

    Sorry, as much as I love Big Jo, he can’t expect to be our highest earner. His game is limited, it’s very important but, it’s still limited. He still can’t hit a barn door with a banjo. I’m expecting the complete midfielder for the supposed wages he’s after.
  15. Ederson can just players out though; it’s the law.
  16. We tired noticeably late on. Could have scored a couple just after our 4th but we then fell off a bit of a cliff. Bruno was limping from around 85 mins on.
  17. I’ve just watched the last 10 mins and had to switch it off. Absolutely woeful quality, sorry and all that but it’s dire.

    Dan Burn

    Ogbene did Burn inside the first couple of minutes. He absolutely rinsed him over 20 yards and started at least 5 yards behind Burn. We did nothing to protect Burn, did nothing at HT to address it and did nothing after their 3rd. Why Burn was where he was for the 4th, I've no idea. Eddie had a howler with Burn yesterday. He could see what was happening, he was chatting with Tindale for long periods from around 20 minutes. He’d seen similar at Villa a few days before and acted as soon as Watkins scored (he could have acted sooner). We have Forest away next, we saw Burn get roasted up here by Elanga (?) a few weeks ago. He can’t possibly pick Burn.
  19. Looking back at the penalty I think the linesman flags for a soft free kick and wouldn’t have flagged at all if he thought it was in the area. It resulted in a soft penalty. The Lino on the Milburn side was woeful btw.

    Out for several weeks. Who’d have guessed.

    Dan Burn

    Should have been taken off at HT. Cost us 3rd and 4th goal today. He looked done in after the 4th. Eddie got it horribly wrong. After 5 minutes you could see Burn was in a world of trouble.

    Alexander Isak

    Howe said after the Dortmund game (where he went down in very similar circumstances) that he’d had reoccurrence of a groin problem which looked not too serious. He was out for 6 games/ 30 days.
