Unbelievably one sided. Forest should be out of sight. 1-0 but have missed six or more golden chances, especially Brennan Johnson who’s missed 3.
Put money on the Blades winning, as they haven’t been in the game.

Forest will be kicking themselves if they don't make it to Wembley. They are playing Utd off the park. Wish we had taken a punt on Cooper.
Injured. Swansea have done them big time.Quote:

Forest had to agree compensation with Swansea when Cooper joined them because he was still under contract. Do you think the Jacks would have let him come here?Quote:

Good, calm finish from Johnson. He'll doing that for Wales on a regular basis! :wales:
Sheff Utd being made to look exactly what they are - an ageing, slow, team. Six players over 30 in team.
He's a menace :biggrin:Quote:

Should he start v Scotland or Ukraine? I would start him ahead of Dan James.Quote:

I agree with this assessment, but playing both of them offers a better left/right balance. James, Bale & Johnson are also capable of playing across the front line, which allows for an in game interchange of positions. This suits Bale as he likes to drift wide left and right, and Johnson is adept at playing in the space between the fullback and centre half, as well as going outside or down the middle.Quote:

Regarding James on the left, I think Matondo would be a natural replacement if his form warranted selection, and there is also Sorba. It's good to have these selection problems, as it shows our squad depth is improving.
I must say I do like your Welsh football posts almost as much as I dislike your "other" ones :hehe:Quote:
