Schmeichel- Had nothing to do all game and then got himself sent off for a stupid reason- 5 Pantsil- Pretty solid and decent going forward, apart from the last 10 minutes are back 4 was solid all game and had nothing to do- 7 Bamba- Was solid all game-7 Mills- Very harsh peno decision but had solid game- 7 Konchesky- Linked up well going forward but in the last 10 minutes most attacks came from his side- 7 Fernandes- Ran the show first half but 2nd half went pretty quite- 9 MOTM Wellens- Decent game but he can do better- 7 King- Didnt do anything again- 5 Danns- Great first half, gave their wing backs a torrid time and unlucky not to score at least once- 8 Vassell- Looked quite good first half but once he had to go on his own he went missing- 7 Nugent- Quality game gave their defence a horrid time first half and got himself another goal. Great start to his career here. Dont understand why he got subbed off and we seemed to lose grip on the game then- 8 Weale- Could of done better with the second goal Abe- Not on long enough. I dont think he is the right person to have on the pitch we were hanging on Gallagher- Done nothing when came on, not had a great start to the season so far The team performance was alot better and hopefully with a decent striker to play with Nugent we will be flying up the table. Miles better performance, the ref was ****
I thought that 1st half performance was as good as Derby away last season but for different reasons. While that performance showed great attacking passing and movement, today showed a resilience in midfield we have not had since Lennon, Izzet and Savage. We managed to peg them into their own half while THEY had the ball. I think this shows what Sven is trying to create. A team which is incredibly difficult to play against. Once we have more potent strikers we will be formidable. On individuals, I thought Matt Mills did not do anything wrong. How can it be deliberate handball when he is using his arms to try to get up and the ball hits him? Schmeichel was very unlucky too but he must've known he would get booked for throwing the ball away. Nugent is class. He has now scored 2 in 4. So a disappointing performance, mainly do to Forest's best player, the ref. But...I'm optimistic for the season as the strongest starting 11 and Sven's vision are starting to be apparent.
Nugent has been very unlucky not to have scored in everygame. So far he looks like the buy of the season in the whole division
Kasper just posted on twitter Sorry to all #LCFC fans today! I didn't know I had been booked as I had my back to the ref otherwise I would never have done that...
Every goal we concede Kasper boots the ball in the crowd, he needs to stop that and hopefully he has learnt his lesson today. Still never a peno. It could be worse, we could be Ipswich and be getting hammered at Peterborough 3-1
