I think Almiron's a real confidence player. He's MUCH more direct with and without the ball now. Showing some actual quality in his play.

 

Yes, poor lad was Bruce'd to high hell. Hopefully this form carries into the season.

The main Portuguese commentator is so cringe worthy. His accent sounds like my uncle when he's trying to game old British women in our beaches.

Reckon Miggys numbers are going to be good this year. Another one that looks transformed.

Said this after Burnley friendly.

 

That's 4 goals and 2 assists in 2 games.

One of the best friendly pre-season games I’ve seen, played at a high tempo and some decent goals. We clearly need a playmaker/ball keeper in the centre mind.

Paqueta?

He's been in the box more this game than the whole of last season ?.

Missed about 20 minutes in the middle of the half, but from what i've seen, this is exactly what you want in a pre-season game. Its competitive, high paced and with a passionate crowd. Some good things, and some things to improve and gets the players closer to being match ready come Forest.

Whilst I think I'm going to remain realistic in terms of the level and volume of players we can bring in this summer, my tolerance of the poorer quality players is going to be quite minimal. Harsh maybe, but with increased ambition comes increased expectation.

 

Mistakes such as Lascelles recklessly abandoning his position, and the likes of Longstaff being forced into errors as we've seen are going to tire quite quickly.

 

Thankfully, effort is no longer all we can expect, and those that aren't good enough rightfully should and ultimately will be removed.

Botman has looked pretty good.

Maxi can only attack, his defensive rating on Fifa has gone down to -34?

lascelles is the opposite to maxi.

longstaff looks a yard too slow.

Almiron popping up a lot in the ten/inside channel. Wonder if that’ll be a common theme if he plays this season. 

 

Yeah, I hope so. Think it would work really well, because it will allow Trippier to really get forward and put some quality crosses and passes into the box.

Pretty happy to be level tbh, I thought we struggled a little bit with their movement and pressing, but we did pop it around nicely in parts. Bruno was a bit off the pace.
