Connolly struggling here I think. Can tell Albie Morgan is full of confidence. Lyon’s and Gabriel both looking rusty. Rhodes not had much to feed off so far.

Thought we started well and the atmosphere has been good can still hear us given all the depressing sales talk

Disagree re: Gabriel, playing well and not being given the ball enough. His performance at forest was one of the better ones of the team. I'd like him starting every game to be honest. He's not frightened of taking players on and he has some confidence. If he looks rusty at all it's because he's not being played enough
 
The defence is just not good enough. It's been exposed tonight and always is away from home. Not sure if it's the formation or individuals but it's just not good enough.

Connolly 12 starts in a row... how? If he was getting motm or really playing well I get it.. but he ain't.

Oh well subs at 60mins I guess

It is remarkable isn’t it - rarely ever see him do anything that warrants that selection - wonder what it is that Critch sees.
Can’t imagine with the Traitors on BBC1 at 9 that many will stick with this - has been a poor game with two poor teams.
 
Competing well but absolutely zero quality in the final 3rd so far.

Awful defending for the goal, what's the point in zonal if people don't man the zones.

We've actually passed it ok to a point.

But then wasted it, Husband often the culprit, he's really gone downhill unfortunately recently.
 
Another absolute joke of a goal conceded, and we carry all the attacking threat of a dust up at a pacifist convention. Other than that we're playing great!
 
If you didn’t know the scoreline, you’d think we were losing 5-0 according to the commentators and Ollie etc.

Have I missed something? They’ve been distinctly average so far? 🤣
 
I think people anticipated this hence the poor sales. Dare I say, it needs a full house to put a rocket up the players so our fault.
 
not a bad half in all honesty, the goal was really poor defending, but apart from the two corners forest havent really offerred much, i dont understand what the formation is. connolly off, norburns not having a bad game but its still not good enough, need a lefty on the left hand side, we can behind this notts team, they look ropey at the back.
 
Just about holding our own at the moment without creating much. Some subs to bring on that might just make a difference, but a second goal would surely kill it.
Shame they have that lead or I think we would be in with a decent chance.
 
Blind faith maybe but hanging onto a 0-1 deficit for a decent amount of time it's still on for a turnaround. A bit of luck and it can turn on it's head this game.
