Again, I ask gentlemen, were you not entertained? Ok, it was a meaningless game against probably mid Championship opposition ( like Swansea and Wrexham perhaps) but what a superb and exciting game. The Hungarians played their part ( and hit the woodwork twice). It could easily have been a 6 3 or a 5. 2.
Enjoyed the press and workrate, particularly Yates McAteer and Ndoye. Young Abbott looked composed playing out of his best position CB. Perhaps SD’s harsh words after Braga ( and his fitness regime) plus man management skills) paid dividends?
I was a bit puzzled by the subs at 3 nil up? I guess we have probably got away with it injury wise but we will see.
). There was no travelling involved last night nor will there be on Sunday which may have been a factor. Personally I’d have given one or two of the young lads 10 minutes or so but in SD we trust.
A real opportunity in the next 3 games to increase our margin of safety at the bottom.

Stokey SD had to gamble last night. Playing 4 at the start of the squad who will likely play against CP. He then stretched the legs for 20 mins replacing first teamers for first teamers, which I was happy with. Delighted that Mcatee played a full 90 mins and showed his potential.
I for one don’t want Anderson or MGW to move on. There is talent in our squad which SD is nuturimg. Also as team is atm, the correct balance of youth with experience.

Good post stokey, I couldn't understand why dyche put on the subs, although subbing sangare made sense. I think that tackle hurt him more than we thought. The team played better before MGW came on and he didn't contribute much when he came on. yates played a blinder but the opposition were poor, I was surprised how crap they were.

It was very entertaining stokie and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Stokey I enjoyed it but the opposition was league 1 standard no mid champ, it’s too much of a coincidence that McAtee who hasn’t picked his feet up, and Ryan suddenly looked like world beaters.

The old adage stevie?
You can only beat what's put in front of you?

DTP I agree but you have to give context to the performance.

I agree but worked out ok?

We can’t really tell from one game how good or bad the Hungarians are. It could just be they had an off day or Forest overwhelmed them? To be fair.
