Norwich v Forest

We've actually gone and scored a fucking goal.

Shows what a terrible decision it was to sub Taylor

I actually think we played much better and looked more dangerous without Taylor on the pitch. Don’t think Guerrero is the answer mind you.

Still shit. Summed up by a bizzare goal fluke. How is it even possible to create almost zero every single game.

Simples. Most Championship clubs employ data analysts nowadays to identify placement and movement of opposition players. Although a manager from experience will identify the opposition weakness from prior matches, and manipulate to his regard. Forest for nearly Four years have played a similar disruptive, zonal, slow counter-attack game, utilising wing play though continually passing into wide areas. Most rival managers have realised that packing the midfield and double man-marking our wingers immediately preventing and stifling our creativity. Whereas last season the likes of Ben Watson, changed-up the pace, and commanded the middle, our movement is now one dimensional and easily read.

If you examine previous matches you'll see Christie and Ameobi attempt to break down and run at a defence but immediately surrounded by two or three players (triangulation). Not one player attempts to alleviate the pressure and help take away a player or provide an avenue to pass, instead allows the player to struggle to throw off the opposition. This indicates zonal play, poor communication, ineffective tactics but also no freedom or thought to read the game. 

Dane I'm seeing nothing where it tells me he knows how to because every game is the same boring football no drive no leaders no creative we could not even put a free kick in the box last night . Same players playing what are not good enough yet we have signed 14 new players

Dane. 28 crosses.
This has been the same for months, I would say 1 in 20 deliveries into the box find a team mate and 9 out of 10 that miraculously do find a team mate, it's a glancing header, a scuffed swing at the ball, a ricochet of someone's arse.
Last night a cross fluked it's way into the net and Lolley had a tame shot from 40 yards straight into the keepers mid riff.
Was there anything else.
Wonder which player they will trot out this week for a statement that they intend to work even harder. Which only suggests to me they have plenty left in the tank they haven't bothered using yet if they can work all the more harder after every consecutive defeat. Wankers.

The only difference CH has made is that we chase the ball when out of possession, as opposed to just sitting back under Lamouchi. Apart from that, it's the same old shit we've been seeing for years. I just don't understand the mentality of having two DM's sitting deep. It just allows the opposition to play further up the field. Just one DM, and let us play higher up the field. That'll do for starters.

Definitely agree with this. No point in playing down where we need to endlessly defend as we can’t take the pressure for the length of time we try to sit and absorb it. We do look ’better’ if we’re generally up their end and we don’t let them keep their defensive discipline.

If we’re going to have a DM also we need one who can transition and do so quickly and start playing the ball forward swiftly to keep the game up where we are pressing.
