Have to admit a little dissapointed thought we would pick up at least cover for leftback position. Still Lets hope a return to the regular line up will see the tangerines off. Hoping for a 3-2 win with Vardy making Hollaway regret not picking him up in front of us in the close season!
At the back if anything happens we are screwed. No cover at left back now Kennedy left, little cover at centre half.
Hope he has got a few in mind, cos without it, were def gonna struggle.Have to admit, i didn't expect the levels of spending like sven was in charge, which to be honest, reached stupidity proportions, but i was expecting some cover in def, and maybe offload a couple, the likes of Waghorn, and Gallagher, so all in all, its been disappointing for sure.
OOT - I'm really pissed off that we didn't get Billy Sharp though - don't think that Forest will be as **** as usual this season. On topic Whitbread and Shlupp can cover LB for a game or two but am 100% sure that NP is bringing players in on loan - tbh I kinda agree as we wouldn't have got any value on the last day of the window. Already linked with Shotten but I also have one of those "my brother's mate's sister's dentist's cousin" type of rumours - Kyle Naughton...
Always reckoned they would go on a loan in view of a permanent deal type of thing - could still happen.
Difficult game to call tonight, really have no idea which team will show up, especially with the added pressure of playing on live TV! I guess we can say they'll be goals in it and hope we score more!
back 4 was awesome today against the team that scored 6 against ipswich so SSL covered for daleat schlupp covered for ssl whitbread didnt play we can be proud of our defence today
Had to say I shat myself a bit when Schlupp came on at left back, but he wasn't troubled at all even with Matt Phillips running at him!
Haha me too, he was absolutely immense though!!! If you werent told he was a striker then you would see that position as a strength!!! Great tackles, didnt dive in too much, rapid and great drive!!
You can see why Moore is being linked with a move to the Prem sides just have to hope he prefers first team football here, to reserve team football at a bigger club. He seems to have a very mature head on very young shoulders. Watching him yesterday has made me more relaxed about having someone so young at CB. Whitbread and SSL will have there work cut out to displace him if he keeps this form up.
It was very interesting just how good Pearson & SSL seemed to get on when he was subbed yesterday - There was quite a lengthy hand holding, cuddle thing going on when he left the pitch - No sight of any petulance at being taken off from SSL or grumpiness for last Tuesday's result from Pearson What was funny though was Holloways rant at full time - he had a proper strop at full time indicating that he wanted more time - He then stormed off without shaking Pearson's hand and Pearson just stood still watching intensely in amazement
I was at work yesterday so I listened on the radio, as I work near to the stadium I heard the roar a minute before the commentary came over saying we'd won a penalty, weird! Anyway I'm glad SSL and NP seemed to get on, Becks got some time on and that we played well and got the result we deserved.
SSL came on to the pitch at the end of the match with his boots off and what looked like a bandage on, but credit to him for stepping in quickly after the injury to De Laet, was pretty surprised to see a RB playing at CB and vice versa though I have to say. Schlupp at left back could be a real option- fantastic pace to match that of De Laet and bombed down the flanks a couple of times, particularly to feed Dyer. Not sure how that shot didn't go in, fantastic header clear by Blackpool's number 15, who looked to me like the only one to come out of that match with any credit.
Nasty Nigel's team beat his - hollowhead had spent all night dreaming up witty one liners as well for sky tv and that nn bloke peed on his bonfire.
How dare we beat them... as if we have the right!! I have no time for that, thats very disrespectful for something that Nige had nothing to do with.
I agree - hollowhead spent hours in front of the mirror practising, he'd made the funny faces and everything! Only to have it destroyed by that nasty Pearson bloke!
