Lavery needs the ball to his feet, not long balls.

Never been a Nuhiu fan but he does usually at least try, but yesterday he just didn't seem bothered.

Thought we could have done with an extra man in midfield in the second half, they cut through us down the middle in the 2nd half yesterday, maybe Semedo could have put a stop to that??

Cant see SG getting the sack unless we lose 6-7 games in a row.

"SG needs to have a re-think. Nuhui isn't good enough but Lavery & May isn't going to work. Can May play as a lone striker? Where can we find a big striker who can work with May & chip in with a few goals?"

Could go 4231, with Drenthe Left, McGuire right and McGugan in the centre, with Semedo & Lee the holding midfielders. McGugan showed he's a good passer in the first half yesterday. Problem is SG will stick with 442

Managers have to stand or fall doing it their way. BL listened to the fans in his final weeks in charge & he failed not doing it his way. SG has said more than once that he is a 442 man so that is the way we will play. DJ tended to play 442 at home and 4231 away which is what SG did at first but this season he has stuck with 442 except for the Brighton match.

The problem after Nuhui went off is that Wolves knew that we couldn't hit it in the air so it made their defending easier so they went from defending like jellies to reasonably competent.

I think 4231 works best when the guy up top can compete well in the air. SG doesn't want Madine so we are kind of stuck with Nuhui. Maybe look for a loan signing in January, Kone from Everton maybe although Martinez might want him for their first team.

Thanks for all your nice compliments imre. I love you too.

Hustler magazine is a bit too raunchy for me. I prefer my 1950s collection of Playboys.

Btw. I miss consilio and chezzie. They take the edge off imre a bit.

[Statesideowl]

What happened to Consilio and Chez? lol

I think May might be better off up front on his own, as long as we don't play hoof ball and keep it down we'd stand a chance. Nuhui as we all know can hold up play well by my word I don't think I've ever seen a worse 'goal scorer' in my life, the sitters this guy has missed is criminal.
Not all his fault nor is it down to him really, as a team we've missed some golden opportunities that most other teams score against us. 16 goals in 21 games... not even 1 goal a game is it.

It's got to the point now when the WW commentators say we're on the break and about to shoot!!! and I already say to myself " Missed, well wide" and sure enough those are the next words out of the commentators mouth.

Just to update this thread, Daffodils won the for the nearest attendance but no one predicted all the correct results. BML has been updated!

We have had no where near enough goals from the defence this season, some of that is down to them missing when they get the chance but also I thinks its also as a result of our poor set piece deliveries!! At least in the last few games we have seen better deliveries from Drenthe, hopefully that will contine and Loovens or Lees will get their goals!!

May needs to start taking his chances but it has been good to see him making telling runs and us actually trying to play him through when he does, that is definitely an improvement on him dropping deep or going out wide to try to create something!!

[madsteve]

Just watched the highlights and we created many chances and on another day we could have won 5-2   the biggest miss off the day went to loovens ... f ucking muppet thats 2 in 2 weeks hes missed headers from point blank rage .. infact it was harder to miss than score ffs !! this is criminal for a CB    and if he doent pull his socks up he can **** right off for me    may also missed 2 sitters and needs to either have a rest by the looks off things   and i think for whats going to happen next saturday ( which will be a right mullering ) then i would rest him as i do believe even if we score 3 Fulham will score 6   play Nuhui on his own and defend like f uck !! should be the plan for next week  

Loovens played pretty well yesterday & made one great saving tackle. His miss was nowhere near as bad as the three by May & the two be Lee. Still a miss though.

McGugan is one of the best with set pieces in the division but still Maguire takes all free kicks.

[St Charles Owl]

Maguires set pieces are generally awful, onceagain he is living off past performances!!! But surely its SG who lets him take them and not making sure someone else takes them instead. Both Drenthe and McGugan seem better than maguire most of the time!!!

From my perspective I would rather Loovens and Lees play their best football in defence rather than in attack but it is noce when a Ch chips in with a goal from a set piece!! We haven't had many defenders who can score and still defend well, Llera and Reda both got goals but were generally disasters waiting to happen in defence!!!

[madsteve]

Your wrong Ms watch it again !! it was a **** sitter and the worst thing about it was !! it was identicle to the one he missed at Blackburn the other week    which has me f ucking scathing as i said after the Blackburn game id have the f ucker training 24 hours a day at heading the bastard thing into the net    Mays biggest sitter was the 1 outside the box which he blasted wide   the other one was bad judgement !! but i think he looks worn out from the pressure off playing on his own , in the way of scoring goals that is    nuhui isnt and never has been good enough for a first team place in the number 10 shirt !! and laverey is another season away from being anything up to scratch aswell !! Madine wont solve the problem off goals either    and afobes shit   can we sign Fryatt on loan ? hes not in the forest team i dont think ?

May will undoubtedly come good.

The corner from Drenthe was at a fair pace & Loovens couldn't get over it but deflected it just wide. As I said it was a chance missed but not as bad as some others or the one at Blackburn.
