Match Thread | Nottingham Forest vs. Man City (08/03/25)

[Blue Abroad]

Honestly think we've been good but we need goalscorers.

Foden, Bernardo, Doku and Savinho don't threaten the goal enough, 13 league goals between them and 7 are from Foden (6 of which came in a 4 game purple patch) but even he's been out of form most of the season.

Not saying they're shit, I rate Savinho he's young and I think he will score goals eventually and Foden is just having an off season. I do think we need another attacker though, I know we have Marmoush but we still need more.

Claudio did just arrive and I think he will bring another spark of creativity.

We’re a thousand times better than a few months ago. Khuza’s pace has made such a difference. We’re a few players short of challenging again but that’ll come in the summer. A bore draw here is a good result. We don’t need to win every game to achieve our current goals. Can see Kev coming on at 65 mins at 0-0 and winning the game

Not a bad 1st half performance away to the 3rd placed club, they've not caused us much trouble so far. At least we are starting to look more solid defensively.
Could do with Savinho finding a man with his crosses.
KDB on after 70 mins to win it for us

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Just watching the half time chat on the OS. Natalie Pike, Kit Symons and Mark Crossley. Crossley is looking old.

Confused? You will be…

Nah, he must be listening it to on the radio. Dokus been great!

This is one of those games where in recent seasons it would have been decided by a Rodri rocket. Not too much space out there to make things happen, the threat needs to come from deeper (and think you saw that towards the end with Gonzalez and Dias carrying it further up the pitch).

 

[WesthoughtonJohn]

I think it’s the best way for us right now. Pep will probably be happy with that. They haven’t had a sniff and weve been in control. If this continues, we’re more likely to win than lose.

Problem being we've not really created anything.
We have almost complete control but Forest are extremely well drilled defensively and Haaland hasn't had a sniff - hence Nicos couple of tries from further out.
Today was always going to be tough going - Nuno ain't a mug

 

[Bill Walker]

Really need to bin these early kick offs. No one likes them.

Us Aussies do.

 

[Coljj]

Yeah, 15:00, 17:00, 19:00 would probably be better for a Saturday

TNT would be a good test ground because they have fewer subs than Sky Sports.

The whole protecting lower league attendances is an outdated stance now anyway.

 

[Gobshiight]

it should be Foden playing in the midfield and dominating the ball but he often drifts pit of games after someone gives him a whack

He really needs to come deeper

 

[deano ou812]

Listening to Jim Beglin is nauseating, making vague compliments through gritted teeth. He’s always hated us. Feeling is mutual as far as I’m concerned.

He doesn’t even register on my radar far worse than him ..

 

[OldhamBlue94]

Fuck off mcoist. It’s a leg breaker. He’s lucky he’s not snapped Phil’s leg

 

[I'm Blue]

Still can’t believe that challenge on Phil wasn’t even a foul

 

[platty7]

Mcoist is pissed I think patronising prick

 

[Blueknows]

Mcoist wtf " Anderson lucky not to have hurt himself"

 

[kunaguero10]

Deary Me, Rico is coming on?
Reis would have been the best option.

Just what we need, another player clogging up the midfield, come on Rico prove us wrong

 

[OrigamiNinja]

Switched Sav and Doku.

 

[Micky Blue]

anyone else just hear what MCCoist said about Joleons take on the foul?
Patronising arsehole.

 

[deano ou812]

Reckless play that comes under at minimum it’s a yellow card the foden challenge
