Another defeat, another we shouldn’t have lost it, another famous name being left out of the squad & so on & so on & so on…. CP tommorow AWAY & Derby on Sat AWAY. Our AWAY record 0pts, 4goals for 14against – any takers for 0 pts out of 6 and the back of CC?

Don’t get me wrong but thanks to CC we got out of that league (& thanks for that) but we don’t want to start yoyoing between these leagues. CC hasn’t got the knowhow to do it in my opinion. He might have in the future but that’s not good enough right now for us.

Talking of the Welsh theme and wallowing in our self pity we should of course be makng plans for Nigel, the man from the valleys Martinez should be procured with bountiful sacks of coal. 3 points on Tuesday please aside from the predictions of the tabloid BSE flock.

I wonder what will happen now to the old men Cole and Brecks – unable to get in the squad on saturday? You’d think that a couple of older heads would be just what is required in these dark times. Given our obvious defensive frailties / lack of leadership / talk of punch ups / now would be a good time to restore Breckinbauer to the heart of defence?

[...] Dave Jones, but it was also clear that something had happened to prompt the abuse (I have read elsewhere that he directed a “Nescafe handshake” towards the Reds’ fans, rather than the [...]

I agree and said as much previously but because the lads are currently without the confidence needed for playing proper football i think it must be sacrificed for the win, concentrating on our style when we’re in the comfort of mid-table

In which case Marc, I apologise for misreading your comment. But the way Forest played yesterday was effective, up until the point where one of our hapless forwards had to actually stick the bloody thing in the net!!

the Allardyce style i was refering to wasn’t hppfball more braking up the game, pressing opponents with the ball and working hard. I do’t at all think hooball can end in goals

I cannot speak highly enough of Garath McCleary at the moment – arguably the only one playing without fear. Chambers did OK at centre-half as well, although I would also think that Breckin might be worth a run-out at some point. Anyone bemoaning the absence of Martin may have missed his last few appearances in a Red shirt, where he has been nothing short of woeful – mind you, so has Tyson…

As for some of the comments near the top: to Marc, playing Allardyce-style hoofball failed on the occasions that the defence and midfield tried it yesterday. As Radgie says, there were several chances created from playing football the “right” way – not the manager’s fault that players who otherwise impressed (McCleary, Garner, McGugan, Perch) then missed the target…

I hope Breckin is back in the squad for the Palace game and give Wilson a break which he obviously needs.
Forest seemed to start off the game motivated and wanting to play,but playing with the fear of not losing doesn´t help any of them.
At last cc has put Perch at right back. How long have we been saying this. The team may continue to play well if we can score a goal first and then get another one.We might then see what this team can do if they can go out and enjoy their football. McCleary seems to be our only player unaffected by th Pressure.Let´s hope he keeps it up. Come on you Reds and give us Something to cheer about PLEASE !!!
