Hunt started well, then faded badly, expect Palmer back next week. Fletcher and Hooper seem to compliment each other, it has to only be a matter of time before they really click. Forestieri ran his socks off today but not enough came of it. Wallace like hunt started ok, but faded just like Hunt, lets try Buckley!! Lee has been our talisman before and he certainly was today, great performance from him. Reach needs to be further forward so get Pudil back at FB and push Reach upfield.
BML update - No one got score and scorer right and a bunch of us are still within a shot of getting the result predictions right with the Villa v Newcastle game to come. Madsteve still possibly getting all right with a Newcastle win.
I agree, I'd like to see Palmer back, no idea why he was dropped I thought he did ok against Brum. Reach does look good further up the pitch, but he also looks good at the back.
I'm still not seeing that much from Abdi, I expect he'll come good we just don't have the time for it.
Lee is a completely different player under CC. He has become very reliable, skilful.
Wallace, I just can't justify him starting another game, he isn't piss poor just not really good enough for what we're trying to achieve, only one in several crosses meets its target. I would like to see Buckley start and use Braveheart as an impact sub
RE: Match Thread - SWFC v Nottingham Forest - Was Wereham Owl - 24-09-2016
Wallace for me today was decent, players need to make a run to meet the cross ( generates the power) from both the head or the volley, we put crosses into the box and NO ONE attacks them , its a basic skill in football... a cross comes in .. anticipate it ... our forwards want it on the head .. no power , no direction..
Today , and this isn't taking the pi$$, for Forests goal Westwood should have saved it..IF HE WAS ON HIS LINE, and as a goalkeeper of many years he was a yard off it, for what reason ???..., made at least one great save from a header to his bottom left , because he was on his line and concentrating , and the concentration is what this team is lacking for me at the moment, we outplay EVERY team at the moment , then we lapse, switch off and go 1 down, , kick up the 'arris ... and a comeback, we start like we finish and we would be out of sight before most of the teams in this division realize the ref has started the game....and as for the officials, can't wait until we get a decent one at home , fookin bent the lot of them, has the PL told them we don't want those cnuts in the PL or what ... awful again today!!!
we are without doubt trying to be too intricate, the play needs spreading, but not as much as bannan was trying...
he's trying a bollywood ball (not as good as a hollywood one) and he's either short of distance or because he's at his limit distance wise it's taking so long to get there it's being shut down or intercepted every time...
i'm all for switching play, but when we do it takes too long to get to the other side of the field and cover has got there...
(THEN COME TO THE BALL FFS ... simple schoolboy football)
for getting it wide and sticking a cross in, i hope some of the crosses from reach weren't his best for £5m...
i said to the guy by my side 'where's buckley?'
we do need to pull the trigger more from outside the box...
This from Owlstalk ...
Are these only kids who don't understand football
Without Bannan we would be fooked !!!!

RE: Match Thread - SWFC v Nottingham Forest - Imre varadi - 24-09-2016
IMRES NO BULLSHIT RATINGS
WESTWOOD 6 Made a few mistakes caught of his line for the forest goal and a few miss kicks here and there ! but pulled out a plum and saved the game with what could have been Forests killer punch just like the Leeds game
Im with wereham about his lack off concentration off late and quite frankly for him its not good enough 
maybe he needs dropping just to show him hes not the only Goalie at the club and hopefully he will pull his socks up 
HUNT 6 Played well untill Forest scored and then everything he touched turned to shit and the northstand growned with displesure
but he got on with it in the second half and sent a few good balls into the box and made less mistakes hes just not good enough but niether is palmer and please dont think palmer is after one good game in god knows how many but i would pick Palmer over Hunt as Lees will never play RB again the way hes playing in midfield LEES 7 solid as a rock and played some neat football with Hutch from the back never had a stitch to do though ? looks like hes done his ligament in again and he could be out for 2 months at least
Hope not though HUTCH 7 Terrible at handling Long balls thrown over his head but brilliant on the floor and he was the engine today
if not for LEES 2 goals he would have been my MOM looks like he will have to stay at CB now with lees out injured but hes just the fellow we miss in midfield REACH 6 Not quite as good as the Birmingham game but he was still 1000 times better than Pudil again at both defending and attacking
i dont think he will benifit if he moves higher up the pitch like some say ? because he will be realying on Pudil for service Keep him exactly where he is BANNAN 6 Controlled the first half but he looked unsure in the second half and too many times he made the wrong pass although it was to feet and so i cant realy complain but im finding him less usefull than he was last season maybe im aiming to high
LEES 8 MOM Worked his bollocks off
up and down like a whores knickers and 2 goals from nothing brilliant player and like ive said many a season ago hes the best player at the club WALLACE 5 Played well untill forest goal and then he was awfull and then he went missing and then he couldnt string a pass together and then he nearly feffing scored
like stateside says he should be used as an impact sub at least on tuesday night anyway FESSI 6 Tried his little socks off for parts of the game and gave it all he had remember hes not a midfielder he a striker
nearly scored a cracker and missed a sitter not one of his best days scratch it and stick him in a striking position tuesday night ffs HOOPER 6 Had three chances two clear cut and he should have done better
although he did play well and hs positioning was brilliant not sure if id pick him Tuesday night though id prefer the clynical Fessi on the end of the chances and not him as we wont get too many on a windy pissy night in that shithole they call lanchashire 
FLETCHER 7 Played his bollocks off again and almost got another goal to his tally undroppable at the minute
LOOVENS 6 Came on and played quite well not once did he boot the ball into orbit and he never looked panicky whatsoever ? he will play now on tuesday night hopefully Hutch will keep the ball well away from his feet
NUHUI 5 Came on the last 10 minutes and did naff all missed a half chance which but on the volley at that hieght i bury them bastards all day
why cant he no future at wednesday as he will never score again as long as peiowl lives ABDI 5 He starting to get on my nervous basically because weve paid a fortune for an average player who does avaerage things ? hes no better than darren potter to be honest
hopefully he will prove me wrong in 10 more games time CC 6 To patient in the first half of games leaving us open for the counter attack and sucker punch
picked Hunt over palmer And brought on Nuhui to win the game lucky as xxxx and although we did play some nice clapable football . it was dull and god knows how we ever scored REF 7 not too bad if you ask me ? missed a clear cut penalty for us
but let the game flow its not his fault the players didnt Sumarry .... Well after last saturday i was so numb i didnt react to any off the goals only just managed a half smile thingy when we won
i feel the crowd and the players have no urgency to score goals in the first half and this is also seeping in on the way i feel watching wednesday at the moment its like Listening to a Smiths track quite twangy marr on the guitar with dull interludes of morrisey and the final few lines either leads you to happiness or Hanging from the ceiling Definatly working Tuesday
please dont tell me the games on a wednesday

Chaz, take me out of the BML please. What started as a bit of fun has become too serious with knobheads making tactical predictions at the last minute. It's not the first time he's done it and it won't be the last. Imre and I used to sift out the obvious and muppet them. Just give him his f'ucking 'trophy' so he can wank over it and think that he has some mates to tell him how good he is
I was pissed off with his way of going about things last season and it really should have been stepped on. Wanker. Owlkev, I think you are really clever and you are ace
now put your stiffy away and get a girlfriend so you can get a proper stiffy

Right then its getting naughty about now !! owlskev was obviously near the ground when posting the attendance which for me makes it void because unless youre in the Americas or Aisa you shouldnt be allowed to post on saturday morning !! but Charlie who is in the Americas gives us señor Maddix match threads every week even after we all slag him to bits !! so charlie sort it out and maddix sharrap !! its all easy slagging but we have to respect each and others different lifestyles and times !! charlie grow a xxxx backbone ffs is my comment but all said and done youre the man with the threads not me !!
RE: Match Thread - SWFC v Nottingham Forest - Maddix - 24-09-2016
I'm just sick of his attendance predictions which are always way too close to the mark and have been for nearly 3 years and always posted at the last minute. But taking the piss and posting exactly 101 from someone else is pathetic. It's a f'ucking shame his gambling predictions aren't quite so accurate

RE: Match Thread - SWFC v Nottingham Forest - Owlkev71 - 25-09-2016
Not clever at all, simple math really.
20000 season tickets
4500-5000 pay on the day usually
2500 Forest fans roughly
Equals crowd 27000 to 27500 roughly
RE: Match Thread - SWFC v Nottingham Forest - Thurnscoe_OWL - 25-09-2016
Tbf to kev, who really looks at every prediction before putting there's in? Before he did his there was maybe 12 preditions already in. Why should we memorise loads of different 20 odd thousands just for a bit of fun on the internet?
Just do yours and if it's deemed too close to someone then accept you're a Muppet.
RE: Match Thread - SWFC v Nottingham Forest - Owlkev71 - 25-09-2016
I expect next week's crowd v Brighton to be between 25000 & 26000
20000 ST
4000-5000 Paying
1000 Brighton fans roughly
