Nottingham Forest vs. Crystal Palace match thread

[OneMax]

We can only hope we have little evidence that Palace will perform to a level that will result in 3 points . I will hope that we can .

 

[Honey Gee]

Some decent early touch and go movement from us, in particular Kammy in the middle. Keep it going lads.

 

[BromleyMonkey]

What a pillock getting booked this early

 

[PalazioVecchio]

What a pillock getting booked this early

agreed. It was a schoolboy tackle. The Forest player was a mile from our goal and we had many men back.

He is ineligible tonight, its Mathews as sub 'keeper.

without Mateta we look unbalanced, miss his hold up play

 

[ASCPFC]

We were ok, now we look pretty awful.

We were ok, now we look pretty awful.

I've only got the radio commentary and I'm feeling shell-shocked

 

[grumpymort]

We pick up second half hopefully we can hold out until then.

I don't see what Kamada offers

Ref has been bit poor already

 

[sprites]

We were much better against Chelsea after Mateta came on. I haven't noticed a reason to prefer Nketiah to him. Sarr is a natural wide player who's invariably sharp since he joined; I haven't noticed a reason to prefer Kamada to him. Just saying; rarely have I more fervently wished to be made to look stupid.

The reason is because they spanked $30m on him and therefore need to justify it. Ridiculous decision given Mateta's form over the last six months or so. Even now, we're so much worse without Mateta and his ability to hold the ball up.

 

[Lanzo-Ad]

God knows what they have been doing in the last to weeks, awful so far, no change, COME ON

 

[Palacesince64]

Nketiah too selfish so far. Going for goal when there’s no chance

 

[Palacefan84]

Nketiah too selfish so far. Going for goal when there’s no chance

Think he is just eager to get a goal tbh

 

[Hannes]

I understand that the preparation for the season was short. However, our play looks more and more disjointed from game to game instead of the other way around.

 

[Rogers the legend]

Just thinking. You know as a kid you used to have corners where its defense against attack. Do you think in practice that our corners are so sh1t that our defense think they are more than reasonable in defending them (cause they're not!)

 

[Eaglecoops]

This is poor, very poor. We have no end product whatsoever just hopeful shots from outside the box.

 

[Oxford Don]

On the basis of what we've seen so far no way are we relegation material. A good open contest where both sides look bright and competent - and it's a good watch. Go for it lads!

 

[PalazioVecchio]

it is 60:40 Forest. at best

 

[steven_t92]

Nketiah will be the end of Glasner, his refusal to play 2 up top with Eze behind means we have Kamada starting and an in form striker sat on the bench. The two behind the striker don't offer width anyway so why use two cams over two strikers?

I'm obviously watching a different match to some of you - but I stick with my view. Forest are good and they're not going to make it easy for us - but then we are not making it easy for them..
