    Sounds like we woke up a bit after a rather sub-optimal opening period.
    I could almost hear Donny moaning about always starting on the back foot.

    Definitely got better but shows that they've been playing this formation much longer

    Pretty poor first half but some little signs that the McAtee experiment may be worth peristing with. He has done ok.

    ...the camera lingers on the coaching staff, complete with ipad, tactically briefing Wood. It immediately made me wonder how much the technology is needed to brief a striker? Play between the line of the posts, fine some space, get on the end of something. Tap it in.

    It's not exactly rocket science.

    Or at least get something on target. Like they just did.

    Well fuck.
    First league blank for 9 games dating back to a 0-0 at home to Fulham.
    I wonder how many teams have sold a player for over 100 million and don't start the season with a single new signing in the starting XI?
    And the only new signing who featured was a free transfer.

    We weren't far off. Hesitant at first. McAtee was good. Best passer on the pitch. Wasnt physically overwhelmed. Sangare a bit slow. Aina not great on decision making in the final third. Was surprised we didn't use Williams more.
    Murillo was my MOTM. Bursting from defence. Twatting the Leeds midfield. Some lovely balls forward.

    The result isn’t that surprising. We are currently weaker than last year, hopefully that will change over the next week or so but we simply once again have not got our business done.

    Leeds are also stronger as they now have a decent keeper and Wilson. Not sure they lost anyone decent.

    They also have the continuity of Farke whilst we are starting again. (Again).

    But getting nothing from it makes the next few games harder.

    Apparently Glasner is the 7th straight permanent Forest manager to lose his 1st league game.

    A new CB that seems pretty decent too.
