Can Brighton and Brentford sort their shit out?
We need a win a draw isnt any good, some really bad results elsewhere currently. it just feels we are just waiting the inevitable. 26 % possession a typical Cooper tactic.
You might argue about tactics and selection, but I don't think you can argue about attitude and application today.
I like how high up the pitch he's playing. Kouyate doesn't look any worse than the 35M player we dropped for him.
A draw would obviously be an ok result. Stops the run of defeats, keeps us (probably) more than a win clear of the relegation places and gives us something to build on.
Its a bit of skill and a bit of accuracy in front of goal.
...yes. We are playing in two modes today. Low block...but also when we get the chance press high up the pitch. Kouyate has also been high and threatening at time...and Murillo and Niakhate have indeed been joining in. We look solid and well drilled.
Apart from the passing thing.
I think if we had won one of the last two home games I would have agreed.
You're right, but this feels like a game we could win. If it isn't, there's a fuck-tonne of pressure on the Bournemouth home game (whoever's in the dug-out for that one).
Lovely bit of skill from Mangala. Been one of Forest’s most (quietly) effective players this season, imho.
There are still 22 more games to be played after this one.
Him and Murillo are head and shoulders our best two this season so far. Faint praise, maybe.
Williams and Toffolo putting down markers for their places today. I do wish Elanga could find that elusive final ball.
Also: Ball probably should go in the net - doesn't go in the net. Put me down for the eye of the tiger.
Is that Murillo injured?
Yes, and he did some throwing the water bottle down in frustration action. He's got it. I hope it's nothing too bad.
