    Marsch took off Struijk, Bamford and Harrison as the worst performers. So he saw what the papers saw and changed things.

    Did he get the subs right or wrong then? Just yinging to the yanging.

    As a manager/coach your job is to motivate the troops with a credible action plan
    We should all spare a thought for Ell when he puts together tomorrow’s breakfast debate
    Not any easy task by any means

    Another thing that concerned me after todays game, the transfer policy of Rutter and McKinnie

    I was super excited when we signed them but are they anywhere near ready?

    Imagine Bielsa playing a new signing before they’ve spent time learning the system, several training sessions and a few U23/21 games

    Did Jesse just cream his pants when offered Rutter without thinking Gnonto, Summerville, Sinisterra where am I going to fit in this record signing. No Victor thank you but spend it on a CB and LB Now is not the time to be spending such sums on one for the future

    The introduction of McKinnie and Rutter just stank of desperation introducing players clearly not ready. Yes hindsight but Jesse sees these players on the training ground

    It’s virtually every Forest player out scoring every Leeds player which is **** really. If that shot hadn’t gone in and everything else had remained the same those Forest scores would be lower. I don’t know the algorithm but no matter how a team plays, they seem to get an extra point for a win.

    How can a keeper be mom and highest scorer yet the opposition attackers all score so low

    … were you one of the many criticising him for not playing gnonto earlier?

    I think mckennie is ready. He likely wanted to introduce him when the game had slowed a bit. I suspect that rutter isn’t ready… but with rod crocked and paddy knackered and playing sh*t… he probably thought it was worth a punt?

    Last week Marsch wanted to see how Georginio and Bamford played together so didnt give it a try today when everyone could see we needed more. Bamford himself said he needed help so why not go 4-4-2. Afraid Yank Lampard talks too much bollox mate. Yes 3 worst players yet he could have changed tactics to counter Forest half time changes but stuck to his shyt game and we lost

    Everyone knows I like my stats… xg and the like… but have always said these ‘rating’ algorithms are meaningless

    He said it was better to squeeze willy in early rather than easing in slowly.

    Not sure if he was talking football though.

    It did seem an unusually subdued atmosphere in the away end. Hopefully Heidi can shed some light.

    Well he’s now claiming he thought it best to delay putting Willy in. I won’t be asking his thoughts on big Koch at the back
