Where was yacob?

Never mind Carlo, deep down we were never going to topple the gooners, I do agree that there was probably sn 11 who could have competed better.
24 Sep 2019 22:55:54
As I said 2star better quality players who train with better quality players. Does sting a bit 5 0 but Lamouchi needs the league as his ass on the line if we not up the top end. Make no mistake he absolutely prioritised the league with that team selection, some experimentation aswell to see if some players can play out of position for injuries and such in the league. Probably no good for the 8,400 fans who turned up but don't think we expected any different did we?
24 Sep 2019 22:59:41
I do feel for the fans that went so lot of making up to do to them Friday a win would be great for them we was only going to play a reserve team and as I said from day one that's where silva belongs hopeful lly come next transfer window a good striker added to the squad.
25 Sep 2019 02:08:44
Just got back shocking journey home with road works and a closure on the M1.
All that to get a thrashing?
Never mind at least we know what it'll be like without grabban should he get injured.
25 Sep 2019 06:59:37
Manager did what we all expected. However he should have informed the travelling fans he was putting out a makeshift team with no striker before the fans forked out to travel for this waste of time evening fixture.
25 Sep 2019 07:41:04
I agree Rutland, complete waste of money. Six of us went to watch what was a frankly an embarrassing effort worse still it was possibly the most chaotic and badly organised event I’ve ever been too.
25 Sep 2019 08:12:42
How true rutland i got back at 2am what forest served up was very poor silva carvalho were hopless we never put in a decent tackle all night lolley off injured don't know what's happened to him when we will see friday night to see if tonight has affected confidance.
25 Sep 2019 09:27:27
Cloughie always said if you enter a competion then your aim is to win it. Fine if in modern day you want to use it for experimentation, but don't diss the fans. Sat at home i had to wait till 7.35 to get the team news and i felt instantly for the fans who made that journey and forked out the thick end of a £100. I fully understand that friday would come too soon for a tuesday fixture but give a thoight to those who work and travel!
25 Sep 2019 10:34:04
Imagine if he started grabban against arsenal and he got injured.
25 Sep 2019 11:09:20
We was never going to do that redtree but answer to your comment what happens if grabban gets injured Friday striker should of been top priority last window.
25 Sep 2019 11:25:51
At least it will be in a game we could go top in. The club were linked and tried to get a striker in. They did their best but couldn’t get one over the line. I’m sure it will be a priority in Jan.
25 Sep 2019 11:50:02
As I said before he could just as easily get injured training, last night was an abject surrender from team selection to pre match interview ‘ we can qualify without winning ‘ and he should have been honest about his intentions with the incredible following, Pearce did a similar thing in a Tottenham cup tie and we were never the same again that season,
25 Sep 2019 12:22:40
So he should have played our first team? Guarantee you guys would be the first to be moaning if Samba, Dawson or Grabban got injured in that game. Maybe it was the interview after Barnsley but he said he would be making changes.
25 Sep 2019 12:43:03
Redtree no I don’t think he should have played the 1st team, but it highlights the mess we are in if something does happen to grabban, we’ve been beaten by the squad players of one of the biggest clubs in the world, no surprise there, I noticed 1or 2not holding back on Silva, Jc was totally anonymous also, but he gets a free pass of course,
25 Sep 2019 12:56:45
Redtree resting the likes of dawson Watson and grabban was a priority samba didn't need resting and we have so many holding midfielders surely one should have been deployed to play?
Bad team selection and tactics even more so.
Grabban should have come on for the last 30 mins when it was still one nil got just as much chance of getting injured in training tomorrow.
Matty cash played as a wing back and if he'd got injured then wed have no right back for stoke, can't wrap them all up in cotton wool.
Lolley siva and carvalho he's playing because Lamouchi is struggling to get any sort of tune out of them, particularly lolley and Silva.
25 Sep 2019 13:12:17
Club tried their best to get a decent striker in. I’m not sure who you’re trying to criticise, the manager? The club? Not really a surprise you go back to JC to have a go at him. You have a serious personal issue with him.
25 Sep 2019 14:13:53
Jc was always going to struggle last night once that team had been decided . I’ve since heard that semedo and Bostock have injuries, they’d have been my preference. Starting Johnson was a mistake I think. Jc needs to play around certain players - it’s why it’s called team. The balance of the team wasn’t there last night which will alway make some players particularly poor. I actually think clough and Jacob would have doe better last night . In the end we tried our counting attacking game but it just never troubled the opposition at all.
25 Sep 2019 14:31:17
Redtree it’s difficult to have a personal issue with a bloke I’ve never met, I just think it’s unfair to criticize I player for doing no better or worse than another who appears beyond criticism, I also think lolley needs to pull his finger out, nothing personal there either,
25 Sep 2019 15:02:48
Bostock and Semedo were injured they would have played if they didn’t get knocks. Grabban was being readied until they scored the second.
