Maybe he is one of the better finishers he has worked with though.Quote:

Today we have had plenty of opportunities for a good ball into the box, 90% of which even Moore would have struggled to get near.
Also Chris Houghton looks suspiciously like Gus Fring
Or just say it in private and not set him up for a fall by putting it out there to the media maybe.Quote:

Dreadful. We never even looked like scoring.
What a waste of time.
The magic of the FA cup eh!
I think in a league match a draw would be the fair result. But I guess that’s what happens when you’re completely toothless in attack
Well that was fun.
A shot on target every 30 minutes of football and no goals again.
Harris is gutted no doubt and will say we lost concentration for the goal and could have done better at the other end with our chances. Probably something among the cliches about not being able to fault the effort of his players.
On to Norwich.
Concentrate on the league, great group of lads, unlucky today etc etc etcQuote:

Another defeat and another directionless, shapeless, dull, tedious and frankly boring performance. And against pretty mediocre opposition.Quote:

He is hardly Robbie Fowler (not when he played for us obvs)Quote:

If we’d signed him for £500k then I wouldn’t be so bothered. But £5m was ridiculous
People go on about the system, the way we play doesn’t suit Glatzel etc, in my opinion £6m strikers at our level should be able to make things happen themselves, turn half chances into goals, battle for the ball, bully defenders etc etc regardless of their team mates. It can’t always be the perfect team goal that’s put on a plate for you to finish, a lot of the time the work, skill and effort has to come from the individual. As I said earlier, Glatzel must be a centre back’s dream, he’s powder puff with zero aggression or battling qualities.
Lee Tomlin getting us into the play-offs last season looks like a superhuman achievement at this point.Quote:

Let’s try and get a right back in the transfer window preferably sooner than later
We should not forget Forest made 8 changes for this game from their last league game, their 2nd string beat us which adds further concerns over our performance
Does it suit any striker?Quote:

That will happen though when an average to poor manager is going through the motions and some fans are telling us some plan with a view to passing football is happening.
Onto Norwich and another defeat. When will Harris be shown the door ?Quote:

They're the first to pipe up and call out the fans who don't rate the manager when Harris manages a win.
Also can somebody tell me what Wilson produced again? One of the best in the league according to some.
He does doesn’t he 😂Quote:

This. I didn't even set the alarm and was mildly irritated when I woke up, looked at my watch and saw it was 5 minutes before kick-off. I stayed in bed for another 20 minutes.Quote:

Not just Tomlin. There's a lethargy about us, a lack of urgency. I don't think Tomlin would do much for us at the moment. Several times I saw Pack today holding onto the ball with absolutely no movement going on ahead of him. We talk of Pack slowing down our game but he often hasn't got an adventurous or forward pass worth trying.Quote:

There's been talk of late about how patient fans would be if we changed our style and didn't get results. Change of style and way of playing or not, much of that was slow, ponderous shite, regardless of how much possession we had.
