FT: NOTTINGHAM FOREST 1 - 0 CARDIFF CITY. Match thread

[MacAdder]

Why are we playing a such a strong team??

Whilst he is playing with many first team regulars, I wouldn't exactly call it a strong team.

Harris needs wins to saveguard his job.
Kinda similar to Jurgen Klopp's selection last night.

[Pedro de la Rosa]

If you’re an optimist we could still make the playoffs, if you’re a pessimist we could be in relegation battle. Last season shows how quick the table can change for us if you have a run of good (or bad) form.

So, we're a mid table side. We've not played for a week and we've not got a game for a week. By your logic, we should never play a strong side in the cup.

Glatzel - Shit
Murphy - Shit

Apart from the goal we have had the better of this game to date.

We’ve responded pretty well to conceding so early on, but it all breaks down as we get close to their penalty area.

[LeningradCowboy]

We need to equalise before half-time. Otherwise, you just know we'll concede again at the beginning of the second half.

[WJ99mobile]

I don't think we've ever had someone as careless with the ball as Josh Murphy.

He’s played some lovely passes that most wouldn’t try either.

[bluebirdberks]

if i'm honest, this is a vast improvement. ball retention much better & more urgency going forward. would have wanted more from cooper for the goal, since that hes had nothing to do

[Grangenders]

Very similar to the league game, one team takes the lead and sits back whilst the opposition have all the ball without looking like scoring.

[NYCBlue]

Glatzel FFS!

[WJ99mobile]

Glatzel is not strong enough to play with his back to goal and not quick enough to play off the shoulder.

Clearly he’s a class finisher but I hate to say he’s just not the player we need

[WJ99mobile]

Why are we using long throws without Moore or Morrison on the field

[LeningradCowboy]

We’ve responded pretty well to conceding so early on, but it all breaks down as we get close to their penalty area.

I'm amazed that playing Joe Ralls as a number 10 isn't working. It's been so successful in the past.

Depressingly predictable as usual

[MacAdder]

We are the better side and Forest look poor but we don't really look like scoring.

Glatzel - Shit
Murphy - Shit

I’ve only had it on about ten minutes, Murphy is far from shit from what I’ve seen.

[LeningradCowboy]

Glatzel is not strong enough to play with his back to goal and not quick enough to play off the shoulder.

Clearly he’s a class finisher but I hate to say he’s just not the player we need

He's a bench option or a second striker, because he's not good enough to lead the line at this level.

[valleys caveman]

Wilson with knee problem.

[Cleve van Leef]

I'm amazed that playing Joe Ralls as a number 10 isn't working. It's been so successful in the past.

So very true

[Pedro de la Rosa]

I’ve only had it on about ten minutes, Murphy is far from shit from what I’ve seen.

He's been good for the last 10, he was bleeding awful for the first 30. He's so hot and cold.

[Don Corleone]

We are the better side and Forest look poor but we don't really look like scoring.

Agree, we do look the better side and Forest are not great but for all of our possession we haven’t had a shot on target yet

[blue lewj]

Why are we using long throws without Moore or Morrison on the field

It is what we do.

We'll start throwing to feet and trying to work a chance once Harris gets players that can't only throw the ball long though.

[blue lewj]

Agree, we do look the better side and Forest are not great but for all of our possession we haven’t had a shot on target yet

Have we stopped Forest playing though?

If so then excellent.

[the other bob wilson]

Chorley 1 Derby 0.

[WJ99mobile]

He's been good for the last 10, he was bleeding awful for the first 30. He's so hot and cold.

Hasn’t everybody been cold the first 30?
