Cheer up lads!

People say esse won't play as Ollie wants...I seem to remember a match last season where Esse tried to dribble past 2/3...then lost the ball...I think causing a goal...I could be wrong...but I think Ollie only gives 1 maybe 2 chances ...

 

[Lanzo-Ad]

We defend and counter attack, that is why we do so well against the top sides, unbelievably well organised, every man knows his job, and not so good about the defensive lower teams, wing backs are no use if there is no space behind there full backs, you occasionally need a plan B

 

[MancunianEagle]

JRS has never been good enough mate, obviously esse ain’t ready and what his limitations is that he won the FA cup at palace not bad limitations tbh

That's bullshit jes proved he could play when he great cameos when he started the season before he went to Sheff Utd

 

[pssguy]

An historic game, and our one sub is a player who couldn't even make the matchday squad of a relegated team
In good news, at least next week's game will be worth tuning in for and Forest fans, and their impressive bench, will be happy

You obviously didn't watch the game.

Very underwhelming but we are not set up to play against the low block. We saw that in the early rounds of the cup last season which were similarly difficult watches. The whole things definitely felt flat. Looked like a lack of energy at times. Sosa was ok. Nothing special but fine. Highes was Hughes. Apart from that not a lot to write home about. Would not surprise me in the slightest if we lose the away leg and go out. Just hope we come through next week without any injuries from the artificial pitch

We won a potential banana skin against a team that weren't trying to win. I know we have a second leg to play, but it could be worse.

About right. We’ll win at their place they will have to come at us and leave us room to get in behind their defence. Felt similar to the Stockport game tonight.

Expecting no signings the next week, Glasner to walk and paddy to manage us getting knocked out in the return leg. It would be one of the great self implosions we have ever witnessed.

First ever win in Europe . Cant do much more when teams sit so deep , Man City will testify to that 😉

 

[PalazioVecchio]

the bad will be That Artificial pitch......like a 5 a side astroturf. Home territory for them. A nightmare for us.

the good..........they cannot sit back and defend for 95 minutes.


Game On.

Rumour is he’s a bit of a maverick and Glasner likes team players. Tends to not do as he is instructed. Don’t know how much truth there is in this but it came from a normally reliable source.

He gave him a clear signal at Anfield didn't he........

You must be a right laugh down the pub 🤣

Artificial pitch? Haven't we got a sodding great big one of those at the training ground for wet weather training (and European away legs too,now)

 

[PalazioVecchio]

He gave him a clear signal ..

Goedenavond

To counteract the negativity: Eze has a change of heart, the Main Stand work begins, we beat Frederikstad on their plastic ice rink, that kid that went missing in Portugal turns up alive and well, Belinda Carlisle releases a long awaited banger of a tune with her cousin Wayne and it turns out burgers are good for you.
