Any reason you couldnt just use the usual 1-10 scoring system, were you feeling fruity?

Fuck sake, are we class now?

 

That was as clinical (finishing aside) as I've seen in absolutely ages from an nufc team.

 

Off to pull my snosage into oblivion to montages of Bruno and Big Jow

Forrest have been away for a long time.

 

Think they've gotten a bit to used to Championship football. Will take them some time to realise that what is outstanding in Championship is average at best in the Premier League.

I'm sad the system still looks like Bruces gung-ho attacking/defending... looked like a pre-season match tbh, hopefully combinations will get better (not sure why as pre-season is finished).

 

 

 

I'm assuming this is a joke, as otherwise the hottest of hottakes :lol:

It’s in protest of the   decimalisation of the 1-10 rating system

Let's just blame first game of the season to start off with and see how it goes.

I'm missing a systematic pressing, cutting of angles and whatnot. 2 ppl running the same guy. A defending flat 5 in the midfield watching a through pass. Think it was better last season tbh. I had hoped we would evolve into something decent, can't keep blaming the players there.

Pope hoofed the ball more than Dubravka tbh.

Only negative would be that we looked a bit open on the break but as they were extremely Championship it didn’t really matter. It will against decent team.

 

Thought we pressed and harried brilliant in the middle. 
 

Don’t think anyone was below a 6 or 7 which is what you like to see. You wouldn’t know we’d had a preseason; was just a follow on from Arsenal and Burnley last year.

Down to Earth with a bang for the Forest lads after some of their combined XIs and so on. :lol: Reading on their forum one said it's like watching Championship football but at x1.75 speed.

Can you see the Matrix Neo? It's all a simulation isn't it.

It’ll always be mad going 1-0 up and not shitting ourselves. I don’t think I’ll get used to that for a while.

 

Forest were cat shit mind. Saved their blushes by being pretty poor in the final third.

Thoroughly enjoyed watching that in Mallorca on my son's birthday, he was wearing his new Joelinton shirt. Needless to say, there was a couple of potato headed Brexity Mackem families in the bar, who seemed gutted at how good we were and had to watch with gritted teeth. 

 

Vamos los muchachos.
