I'd like to hear Brian Clough's response to the sorry state of football. In his day a 2nd Division side could compete and hope to win a cup, it's a totally different "business" now, and in no good way. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't have the luxury of a big squad, an uphill task in the league to stay up, that's very much the priority. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same Brian Clough that once got the grounds man to turn on all the hoses and flood the pitch so his team didn't have to play? It was a different game in his day too. Far less athletic. 1 Just not bothered... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am no fan of the manager but he has not put a foot wrong so far this season. His instinct would be to want to win and therefore play your strongest team but an injury to any one of our better players in a game like this would be unforgivable IMO. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second goal though, he switches off because he expects if the cross does come over there’s no way it gets past Wildsmith, but I think Wildsmith gets his angles wrong too Waldock turned way too easy, Wildsmith angles wrong and Börner switching off... He’s not doing his own job never mind anybody else’s. Wildsmith’s position was fine it was Borner’s fault. Knockheart has got him on toast. somebody ought to remove the tug boat he’s towing at half time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Soul Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Played well most of 1st half .. good pressing but poor defending for both goals sadly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkstar Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 If we go out of the cup now I'd guess there's more chance of some of the kids getting out on loan too which will be much better for their development than a couple of cup games and the odd spot on the bench here and there.

Guest Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 (edited) I'd love to have a manager who'd have grow a set to really go for it No doubt we'll get a manager and fans happy that we made a bit of a game of it despite losing Edited September 23, 2020 by Sticky Micky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course we look shaky at the back we have 2 youngsters plus a struggling experienced player. What do you expect. We could have equalised just before their second and are generally playing well.

Joe Sunburn Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Can’t watch it, but is it fair to say it’s as much of a practice game for them as for us? At least to evaluate players? UTO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S72 Owl Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Thought we dominated the opening 30 minutes again. Dele should have equalised and could have been a different game. No complaints with the line up though. It’s a good experience for the young lads. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish. He'll probably drone on about the match by congratulating our players for banging in 3 and pulling away with the win. Yes, we no longer have the clean sheet, but we continue our streak of not losing. blah blah blah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChapSmurf Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Scoreline and individual erros aside, I'm quite pleased with what I saw that half. We seem to be moving the ball forward quicker, with crisp one touch passes. Kachunga can certainly win a header for a not so tall forward player. Odubajo has again looked dangerous, and Reach is having a good game. Waldock doesn't look like he's playing his first senior game, and at 19 Dele-Bashiru looks a strong unit, although a little raw still. Shaw needs to some support though, as their left back is quick. On the other side, we need to watch the runs off Knockaert, as he will slip a player in easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
