We just can’t get anything stitched together up top. Need to get the lads in at half time and get their heads straight - if Frank’s a brave man there may be some changes too. Wouldn’t mind seeing RKM in the middle and maybe a change in midfield. It’s not really been Richy or Gray’s day so far.
 
Valentine's Day is in February if you're thinking of sending Vic a card, DH! <laugh>
<laugh>.

To be fair most neutrals are saying it’s Gray’s fault, I just think because Vicario is public enemy number one at the moment amongst the fans he’s getting more blame than he deserves on that.

Player calls for ball, gets ball, loses ball, team scores - Vicario fault.
 
1-0 HT. Very poor and virtually no creativity.
Things were quite flat and uneventful before the goal, but they were much better after that.
Needs at least one change at the break and a few kicks up the arse, too.
 
Our bench is looking quite uninspiring too, barely anyone with the genuine ability to come on and change things.

Desperately need Kulu back and for the footballing gods to quickly mend Madders’ ACL.
 
Gray and Vicario both massively at fault. Vicario for playing the pass when there was a much easier ball to VDV. Then Gray taking a touch is insanity.

Doesn’t even come close though to how bad we’ve been going forwards. Would it hurt them to occasionally just take a shot or put a ball into the box? No wonder we don’t get hardly any touches in the box, we always try and walk it in there.

Vic's family are not 'neutral', mate! <laugh>

I tend to agree. Ok this symptom of always playing out from the back played a massive part of it but if you're going to call for the ball you seriously need to know what's around you and unfortunately he clearly didn't....

Passing has been issue all season, we give the ball away so often. Would like to see Bergvall for Gray at HT, only because a red card will just compound an already poor day for Archie and Sarr/Odobert for Richarlison. Kolo and Kudus need to see the bigger picture sometimes both guilty of getting in to good position but holding the ball for too long.

Forests harassing of the ref is getting a bit out of hand though. Trouble is, you can see it ultimately influencing a decision down the line.

Mind you, unless we improve it won't make any difference to the outcome
FFS! When we are **** we don't do it by halves!!
So much for the Captains Only rule, apparently

Richarlison has been as anonymous as only he can be as a target man. Xavi looking a bit lost again and Williams keeping Kudus out of the game. Bentancur has been very poor in possession and there is a big disconnect in our attacking play.
Spence has offered something going forward, but that's about it.

Very, very poor fare!

Yeah that’s my view too. I’m not gonna **** on the lad though, he’s young but it’s something he’ll need to learn from, special awareness especially in that position is vital.
