Nottingham Forest v Leeds Utd Match Thread - Big Kev on the bench!

[Irish Ian]

Three changes for Brentford...

Meslier, Phillips and Augustin in!

Cooper needs a day off I reckon.

Got no one else to play in there

That was as poor as I’ve seen us. Phillips coming back will be a plus. Augustin being deemed fit enough for the bench should mean he will play more.
Tough one to take and things look bleak but we are too good to throw in the towel. It’s not like us to look so blunt, we will be better and here’s hoping Augustin can fire us up, big powerful looking lad

Phillips still has another game to miss.

Phillips still has another game to miss.

Thought it was a three game ban?

Millwall
Wigan
Forest

Cooper swearing at his players and NOT boosting them. V poor captain

Bout time someone opened up on them.Ali deserved it imo.

Last two games it just dosnt look like we will ever score, could still be playing tomorrow morning and not fashioned a shot on target from open play. Front 3 need changing up. Bamford obviously is a complete waste of space and Harrison and costa cant beat the first man with a cross.

I'd drop all 3 of them. Get hernandez on the right, poveda through the middle, jka upfront and Robert's on the left. Philip's coming back so drop Dallas or move to left back.

Awful game first time for a while I've stopped watching as I already know we're incapable of

[BGwhite]

Forest the first team to out play us this season so far...did someone say they're not very good.

They didn't need to be did they let's face it.

I guess that's what happens when the players playing good football are played out of position or just have poor games. Poor game for Jack but his first really poor game of the season. White had an off day too. Dallas very poor today, never seen him quite that wasteful. Kiko actually fairly good outside of the howler.

Is that 4 defeats in 5? ...

Going to be tough to turn this around now I have to say and we're getting to the point where it's only new blood that will kick start that imo. Will be interesting to know why no Poveda on the bench.

Casilla - 5 - 2 cracking saves, one opportunist save, one howler
Ayling - 8 - Best player in the second half, really the only one to drive us forward
Alioski - 6 - I'd have kept him on and taken Jack off..pushed him up
White - 6 - Some poor passing from him today plus a booking, decent in defence
Cooper - 4 - Poor today for me, especially as a captain
Dallas - 3 - Very very wasteful, attacks went to die there
Hernandez - 6 - Radar was off bar one nice cross. Really don;t think he's a centre or attacking mid
Harrison - 6 - A real curates egg, so good some bloody awful, gets a bit of a pass because his recent form has been outstanding
Costa - 6 - Lively, struggles without an outlet
Bamford - 0 - Rank
Klich - 8 - MOTM - Just did his job while most everyone else failed for the most part today

Shackleton - 7 - I like, good player hopefully sees more game time
Roberts - 6 - Couldn't get into the game, Shackleton looks a better prospect
JK - 7 - Promising first 15 or whatever it was, now needs to establish partnerships with his wingers.

How many points has KP cost us by getting himself sent off? Guess we've missed him.

So you're blaming a guy who wasn't playing for such a dire performance. If one man makes a team then we will be playing championship football until non if us are around.

Not like Kalvin has a load of goals and a ton of assists is it...Klich has done his job very well.

[Cjay]

Cooper was poor, Lolley made him look daft when Grabbam should have scored.

He will never be a promotion level cb.

[BobHirst]

Last year - QPR Wigan then needing to beat our 2 closest competitors Norwich and Blades. We failed.
Now we are doing the same again and it is painful.
I guess KP will be back next week and we have missed him. Alio looked a huge liability today, should have been sent off too. The time to drop Kiko is probably right. Bamford should sit.
Shack, Ian P, JKA, Messi, I think there is a case for more than one of them to start.
On the other hand its against Brentford (Sheff Utd last year) so we will probably see KP and maybe JKA at the most.
I wish I supported Liverpool!

Sent off why? For the good tackle in our box or was there a bad one I missed?

Also there's really nothing stopping you. You wouldn't be the first and you won't be the last. I know 4 people down here in leafy Surrey that switched from Leeds to Chelsea when we got relegated. We all used to go to SB every season to see the game. Haven't seen them in years now. I'm the last one left.

I'm saying that I think we are more reliant on KP than I thought we were. I'm attributing his absence as a contributing factor to why we were 'dire' as you say. Maybe Klich would have created more chances if KP had been there playing in his normal position and Klich had been in his.

[BGwhite]

Watching Bielsa post match interview...f**k me if I had to listen to this everyday I'd struggle to play any good as well.

Klich has been sitting deeper this season anyway so he's not really getting the chances to make his trademark runs into the box.
