Nottingham Forest vs. Crystal Palace match thread

Glasner saying Mateta isn’t in the right place right now, I don’t think Glasner is either himself. He’s done well for us, but he’s bringing us down. He will make excuses after the game about players etc… but he’s had players he could try work with JRS, Franca, esse. And he’s binned them off without trying and yes they ain’t great but ain’t a manager someone that can compromise??
Tactically he’s not up to it and today has shown fully. Parish has got the backbone of a jellyfish as he should have shown him the door weeks ago.
As a team I can’t see the suffering stopping for now

None of those you named could be any worse than Johnson. He is a terrible footballer.

Not a great performance, but when you have a CM of Hughes and Lerma, you are not going to get a load of insightful passing. They are solid squad players but we'll never progress with them in the team.

Johnson and Sarr need space in behind, so the low block essentially nullifies their threat.

Pino, predictably getting loads of stick, and he did misplace a bunch of passes, but he was working hard to get on the ball and try and make things happen. I suspect he had triple the touches of any of the other attackers. I do wish fans could appreciate that he was the the only player trying to force thing, instead of looking at exclusively the bad stuff and writing him off.

Wharton and hopefully Kamada back next week. We'll start to get some rhythm back. I'll keep banging the Kamada drum, but we've been terrible without him.

I agree with you on Kamada. The midfield hasn’t worked without him. Can’t agree on Pino. Yes he demanded the ball but then looked utterly clueless as to what to do with it. Repeatedly gave it away, mis placed passes and ran into trouble. A couple of times he gave it away leading to them having dangerous breaks. He was awful
 
Glasner is stinking up the dressing room with his false bad vibes. “ I’m committed to the end of the season nonsense…” when he was trying to get sacked and a payoff 2 weeks ago. What a dishonourable cheap skate!

The players like us dislike him.

I know what you mean, but i dont want to write the guy off already. I'd rather back someone like Pino who is trying to make things happen, than Johnson who was next to invisible.
 
I understand that Glasner should take responsibility. These players aren't the highest paid in the PL but they're still being paid a lot of money - £50k+ a week. For that I'd expect them to be able to hit an accurate pass, get 50% of their shots on target and be fit enough to give it all over the full 90 minutes. It's their job FFS. Am I asking too much?

It is not working out for Johnson but his time at the club is in its infancy.
He does have a tremendous turn of pace and I have seen him travel with alacrity and pick out passes.
He grew up in West Bridgford which is the locality in which the 'County Ground' is housed.

I agree I don’t want to write either he or Johnson off. What’s obvious to me is we need a new manager. OG can’t motivate them and is now tactically lacking. I think you would see some players looking completely re-energised under a new manager
 
s*** second half but next week we have Kamada and Wharton back as well as a striker whoever that will be.

Full bench which will include Lerma, Hughes, Uche, Pino. Should be a much more satisfying effort, and the decider for Mr Glans-ner.

There is NOTHING good to take from this game, other than the fact that we get gifted a point by Williams. Everyone played like absolute shite, Palace MOTM, on account of actually trying, but still managing to be dog s*** goes to Hughes, 4/10, the rest can share a 2.5/10. What an absolute joke. Sack Glasner before he gets to the changing room and give Paddy the reigns for now.

Not really a gift. He prevented a certain goal and they then had the chance to save the goal - again - by saving the penalty. In such a situation I feel the goal should be give automatically !

With all due respect, how is where he grew up anything to do with how poor he has been for us ?
