Nottingham Forest v Leeds Utd Match Thread

If you rub some Fiery Jack on your cobblers it will take your mind off your obsession calling Phillips.

 

Philips back for the Brentford game fit and raring to go and prove a point, we can’t survive without him which will increase his value no end

 

Yours?

 

Watch Bielsa have him as sub, bring him on when we are 3-0 down and it finishes 3-2.

 

Yes he's fooled me, a bad lad is that ristac.

 

Well they usually worry about public safety, but as millwall have no fans, no risk,.
PS this weather has got to help millwall.

 

I stopped dreaming after Christmas now I just have nightmares

 

Tuesday, Meisler in for Casilla, Harrison on bench, switch Costa over to the left, start Proveda, Bamford to play No. 10 behind Augustin, Douglas if fit at LB, Philips and Klich in MF, it’s balanced but maybe waste of a post, Bielsa will play same eleven that started at Forest, if he does then he should get some flak from the faithful.

 

Would that hurt?

 

I'd like to see Dallas at right back.

I'd like to see two forwards

 

Try it out let us know

 

We need more height Ell not less, so Dallas go do one, if a forward is given a slightly different role and he cannot adapt to it then show him the door, Bamford would be ideal at No.10 with his energy, Hernandez is poor at the moment.

 

Bielsa admits responsibility for our recent failures, and admits it's up to him to find the solutions to halt the slide. Question is, why now, why not 4 or 5 games ago.

Bielsa also admits opponents are finding solutions he isn't.........I remember saying that quite a while back.

Is this Bielsa finally waking up and actually recognising the problems, we can only wait and see, but, I'm not optimistic at this point.

Agree with all this apart from Bamford at 10, I'd keep faith with Pablo and play him there. Bielsa always trys to fit Dallas into the starting 11 and I have a feeling it will be Dallas at LB although like you and a few others have mentioned, I'd play old team mates Costa and Douglas on the same side and see if it makes a big difference

 

But Mr Bielsa says that height doesn't matter. Its all to do with timing?

 

Is that from an attacking sense? Can't be a factor when defending if you are defending a corner and you have someone of 6' 3" to defend and the ball is crossed straight to the top of his head. If you're under 6' all the timing in the world isn't going to make any difference surely?

Defending corners, was it on here or someone on Sky who pointed out how we place our own players in front of Kiko at corners then the opposition stand in front of our own players boxing him causing our own players to knock into him. Leave him unprotected and if the opposition touch him its a foul

 

Timing!!! Well if things keep going the way they are then here is a good time for Bielsa..... 10am direct to Buenes Aries from Heathrow
