According to the Forest website Back Passback is our most accurate passer with 87per cent pass accuracy.

What the stats didn't say was of that 87per cent 80 per cent were backwards and the other 7 per cent sideways! 🤣.

if you watch premier league most teams play that way to keep ball and try and open up the opposition for the forward pass. In our case nobody in midfield or out wide moved to ask for the ball consequently more back passes. I think with our new midfield signings there will be more options for forward passes.

Can’t remember if it was Cruyf or his protege Guardiola at some early training session at Barcelona who had them passing endlessly as was their style of football. After a bit a few of the players came up to him and asked him what was the point as, after endless passing, they and the ball were back where they started. The manager yes but look at the team without the ball, they’re not back where they started. In other words they’d lost their shape creating gaps and opportunities to exploit.

That is a reasonable point but when passing for the passings sake when a gap has opened once they get the ball to the gap, the gap will usually have closed, unless they are passing very quickly.

If you have players passing quickly with purpose gaps should appear more often.

If passing back is the way forward in the premier league no wonder football is so sad now. But on the plus side no wonder there has been so many own goals 😂😂🙃.

Trentender - a rotation of sow, Colback Yates and garner will provide a much more effective midfield unit, totally agree with that.

Wonder what clough/ Taylor would make of all this sh#te these days. How to play football. Let me tell you. Could you see taylor scouting the 14 we got. could you see clough passing back. Fck new technology fck c.v. had enough. Get your hands out your pockets head out your ass and play the ball on the ground. Simple as. Dam hate negativity but just sick of it all. play with your heart. And play for the fans . = fkn football.

other than 3 pts, is amust, need to start moving up the table, and with the new signings hopefully this can happen.

Slow possession is the most boring football in the world, , a lot of the Prem teams play this backwards sideways Rubbish, it’s unwatchable, getting a corner, and ending up passing back to your own goalkeeper, pathetic, mostly brought in by foreign coaches,
