Spent some time on here recently making the point that very few of our youngsters, if any, that leave the Academy for greener grass end up playing consistently and make it at the top level. Derry was used as one such example to counter my argument. Let's see how that's going.. Oh
The thing that annoys me most about this goal is that, despite Richards making an error, the shape of the team isn't that bad. However, no one looks anywhere other than the ball, so we have an unmarked player jogging into the box for a tap-in behind the play. Need to get better.
Keep watching that Chilwell goal back, and while I understand the Ref let the phase play out, that was 100% a penalty on Khalaili. Leno just clears him out. Surprised the whistle wasn't just blown then.
This system simply doesn’t work at home!! We are stifling our best players from reaching their usual performance levels. MGW looks lost as does Neco. Schlager looked OK. This systems works away from home but home we must do something different! #nffc
It is worth remembering that, bar a couple of tight calls, we had the ball in the net 5 times today. Need to work on the defensive shape, but we already look more dangerous and less wasteful.
This isn't Lacroix btw, it's because the team isn't pressing and moving as a unit yet, coupled with individual errors. Glad the first win has come.
Fascinated to see we've gone from FA Cup, Community Shield, and Conference League holders, to underdogs and relegation favourites, in just a few months.
I hope the results come - and assume they will - because Sage seems like a real classy guy from his interviews.
Nice to see Mr Ambitious himself, Marinakis, managed to pocket some cash this Summer. I was told by Forest fans they'd be spending big...

We also kept loads of talent too. Wharton for another year. Sulky Sarr will get a chance to come back. Mateta - we know - can play through contract uncertainty. I also think Strand-Larsen will seize the opportunity he has over the next few weeks.
Jamie Carragher looks like he's wearing those trousers that get advertised in the back of a newspaper.
