What I couldn't understand about the other night was why the changes at 0-2. That is a crucial score, next goal changes the complexity of the game. We go 3 up and it's game over. 1-2 and it's game on. What a stupid decision and I thought that immediately.
The reserves were working well enough and starting to gel. The time to rest legs and experiment was when we put the game to bed.
That was poor game management.
I liked McAtee his calmness and vision with drive was excellent, unlike the manic panic that is MGW. I THOUGHT Yates was decent and loved that move when he dropped his shoulder and ghosted past the defender. Made me smile as I thought it was a Brazilian.
That result was devastating, trust me. We should have been set up for going to Burnley with renewed vigour and confidence. That defeat was a massive blow and the spiral will continue if Burnley get a foot in the game and score early.

Rutland I love yatesy but he was shocking at Swansea, he couldn’t even manage a 2 yard pass from the kick off, the drop of the shoulder was the one decent think he did, but even messed up the end of that move, I don’t agree the result was ‘ devastating’ as the team we play at Burnley will be nothing like that team, the defence totally different, we made 10 changes, so I expect a different performance.

Good to see ya rutters, and apologies to dtp and munmad. Just getting to me a bit this whole change. Off to granddaughters birthday party now. Yup Friday night. This retirement is spiralling ? COYR.

The changes were to keep Jesus fresh for Saturday, to look at Kalimuendo, and give minutes to some full internationals who should start Saturday.
But trying to blame the manager for us losing when he sent out two full England Internationla players (MGW and CHO), Zinchenko (who was Man City player of the year, an experienced international, 40odd Champs League apprearances and has 4 League titles) and a £30M striker is nuts. We were winning when they went on and NOBODY would have expected us to lose with those subs.
The decision was not stupid.

Red cyclist sorry the result says it was a stupid decision. Btw what was Boly doing on the pitch?

Can't win being a Forest manager.
Nuno got lambasted for not making changes whilst Ange gets criticised for making them ?.

Ain't that the truth Fred ??.

Fred gets it. ?
The boss learned that Boly is not match fit and maybe isn't going to be fit enough to play 90 mins. I wouldn't have started Boly, he'd be better suited to Europe than against a Championship side but he's 5th choice at CB for me.
The decision to bring on international players was a poor one? Righty oh! ?
I guess you forgot your password 9 times because you're mind is as sharp as a pin too? ?
NOTE: That's called a joke. I don't actually mean it.

That's a bit harsh cyclist ?.

When we are all watching one game ange had to remember the next three games in ten days
I'd say he was impressed with bakwa and jesus and saved them for those games and decided to have a look at the rest the result might have backfired, but he learned a lot about his squad.
