Match Thread | Notts Forest vs Man City (28/04/24)

[Keeper!]

We look really burnt out

We are just sloppy, we look fine in terms of freshness

 

[Kippax77]

Alan Fucking Smith is getting on my fucking nerves.
How can an ex-Arsenal player be on our game?
So biased, thank fuck i don’t pay Sky a penny.

Because Ratboy and Spitty have been banned by Forest, i think

 

[Frankie lad]

Credit to Forest properly troubling us and fighting for their lives.Get through this blue boys.

 

[Blu1]

Why we are even asking walker to come inside is nuts. Not worked once this year & all their attacks are coming down the side walker should be. Crazy tactics

 

[I'm Blue]

Doesn’t track their left sided attacker that’s led to umpteen chances. Gives the ball away in shit areas. That good enough for you?

He ain’t lazy he’s just not a defensive minded player.
You could see that from the minute he signed.
It’s a weakness in his game.
Doesn’t make him lazy and certainly doesn’t make him a twat.

 

[Dax777]

He should do. Get Doku off Kova on. The amount of times we have given up possession is ridiculous. Need to control this match so much better than we are.

It's not just Doku losing it though. It's Akaji, it's Rodri, it's Kev, it's Kyle and Gvardiol. Too many unnecessary touches on the back. Move the ball quicker to Doku, Kev, Alvie and Jack.

Brighton were on the beach, complete with sun umbrellas, lotion and deckchairs. Forest are not.

They turned up today, but poor all season, which is why fans get annoyed at that performance.

 

[Tricky_Trev]

Rodri is going to have some serious words at HT

 

[Scottish Cityzen]

Good to be in the lead but we look at bit leggy after Thursday. We need to up the intensity.

Not working with Doku down the right based on the way we are playing. Not much opportunity to attack and he makes us vulnerable defensively. Swap for Kova wouldn’t be a bad shout.

Hopefully some strong words at half time and we get the next goal. At 1-0 they definitely have a fighting chance based on that first half performance.

Wrong. Walker pissing around in centre mid is killing that side

 

[wolviedinho]

Understandably nervy performance, but there’s nothing on the bench that will make us demonstrably stronger. We just need to dig deep and ride this one out. Many of their better chances have stemmed from us turning over possession and not tracking runners.

Eh? Big earl?

 

[Bluemoon115]

They can’t hear us !

Course they can't hear us.

It's text.

They can read us.

 

[SkyBlueFlux]

Any chance of Haaland actually getting minutes?

 

[heslops barnet]

Walker giving Hudson Odoi far too much space and Doku not tracking back leaves us wide open down that side

Doku tracks back as much as rashford…..

 

[Kippax77]

One positive is Wood is a lump

I thought that last season

 

[balotellishaircut]

Is it half time yet ?

 

[bluemoon32]

Very lucky to be in front, grim watch so far.
Come on Cityyyyyyy

Next goal is vital, they get it and it's going to be a long half

 

[citytill1die84]

Usual muppets crying in a match day forum because City ain't 5 up

Never change bluemoon

 

[madloaf]

We played Thursday night, players wouldn't have got home till early hours Friday we've had only Saturday to recover. Forest have had a week.

Definitely reasons. No doubt about it. I've never seen Bernardo play a half that bad.
