Comments on: And THAT is why we must play four four two! http://nffcblog.com/2007/01/06/and-that-is-why-must-play-four-four-two/ The mindless ramblings of a Forest fan half imbued with a probably misguided sense of optimism..

They were awful and if I was one of their fans, I would be seething at that performance – like I was us against the Milk in the Carling Cup.

Wes was a mountain today. Him and Breckin never really looked troubled until Gary Holt decided to drift into defence once or twice and get in the way. Suprised to see Holt actually RUN in that game, dispossessing some hapless Charlton player beut apart from that him and Perch never really got hold of the midfield enough I my mind. Had we someone with really quality instead of Holt I think we could have hit them for six.

Sorry, I really don’t rate Holt. Its time for him to go to the knackers yard. And Dobie just looked like he wanted a piece of the glory for himself.

All in all though – the boys did us proud.

When Perchy ran down the right i could not believe how it opened up for him, Neither could he probably!
We were fantastic, i sit at the back of c block and to say the atmosphere was pesimistic at the start of the game is somewhat of an understatement!!
Is that the worst organised defence to come to us this season? That the question!!
Great result..thank you Forest so little expectation this weekend and then get to see that-Unbelievable!

Ps good effort to the guy near the dugoutswho tried to throw the ball at pardew, Only inches away, Unlucky!!

Trouble is, most league teams – particularly at the City Ground – won’t give us the time and the space that Charlton did.

I just had a feeling we had a chance looking at Charltons team on paper. Oh boy was i right, they were crap, best game I have seen Forest play in ages. Lets hope we take this game on into the rest of the season.

You reds

Unless we get a good result in which case I’ll exercise my right to be a fickle so and so. :lol:

And Charlton gave us loads of both in the first half – certainly not as much in the second hence it being a lot tighter.

Perch was my MOTM too with Wes being a close second. Jimmy Floyd didnt get a sniff all afternoon and when he started moaning and whining (as if!) as early as the 20th minute, I knew he would have a shite game!

Of course, the acid test is now next week – not only for the team BUT for CC. Will he stick with 4-4-2 formation??? I wouldn’t bank on it!
