Well what in the world of football was that performance? Pretty much bloody awful going into the second half. Bring back Worrall as captain and we mysteriously start playing backwards and sideways football. Got turned inside out for their second goal (he couldn't stop the cross if he was parked in a bulldozer in front of the opponents). Such a negative performance for the first 40 mins I was wondering what the heck had happened.
Bad things? Lots. Wood back to the finishing that we've come to associate him with for this game, ie. woeful. Danilo has lost his footballing mojo somewhere and needs to get it back (although I did think his corners were pretty good to be fair). Murillo was hit and miss, and seemed to mess up more headed clearances than not today. And MGW back to attempting those stupid flicks and party tricks. Yatesy pretty ineffective today.
We just couldn't seem to create the space to play, always running into a Blackpool player. Incidentally, anyone else impressed with that lad Dembele (wouldn't mind him in our squad).
Good things?
Tavares was pretty decent on this showing.
Dominguez and Montiel were decent for the most part.
MGW put in another decent performance.
CHO was OK.
Shame we now have to go to their pisspot of a ground and try to eke out a win there, which again, you can bet we will struggle with.
Bet Nuno was furious at half time.

It was a poor performance but we got back into the game didn't think much to montiel today and not sure about tavares but maybe that's the game time he's had a lot of sloppy passing again but you can guarantee nuno wouldn't of been happy even so it was a lot better than the 4
-1 we lost against them last season look forward to the draw tomorrow night fester at our place would be a good one ?.

17 attempts 4 x goals. And have to admit yawn game regretfully. The FA cup was always something to look forward to. got to say though amazing goal from mgw. Probably it. Apart from maybe seen the last game of worral in a red shirt wish ya well young man. Bleeds forest good enough for me. Still in it. got to live with it.

Funny how we see things differently, I thought Montiel was bang average and partly to blame for the first goal. Wood had a hat trick full of good chances, Yates should of scored to. We had enough opportunities to win a below par game.

Montiel was crap today but hey he's a World Cup winner so all is forgiven.
