Flagon Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Fantastic result. I felt problem 1st half was that O'Dowda, Reid and Paterson seemed to be trying to play the same free role, even though it was meant to be Reid I think. When Tomlin is there he seems to command that role. Fairplay to Johnson for switching it around with the players available to him. He appears to have a great knack for changing things if it's not going to plan. His learning I guess is how he gets it right from the off but for now it's great to know we have a manager and squad willing and able to change things around during the game and apply it. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then we lost our way a little and something had to change. We now have the squad to change shape, formation and focus and fair play to LJ for doing that.

It could have worked, but Reid does not create as much space for Abraham as Tomlin, or hold the ball as well. Pack seemed less positive in his passing than against Fulham or Leeds and had his poorest game for some time and goldbourne had a poor half re getting decent crosses in. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samo II Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Another excellent result, and again in the face of early adversity. This team really have spirit, and married with what looks to be a head coach canny enough to alter things at the right moment, this means we always stand a chance. I'll say what I've said before; the fact we've not even got Smith or Mathews properly back yet (nor have seen much of Engvall either) means we've not even been able to pick from a fully fit squad, and yet we're giving it a right go. As always the 'Magic 50' is the number I'm most concerned about, and nice to be getting closer to that. But you have to ask; is are the favourites in this league as 'clear cut' as many made out pre-season? I'm not so sure. LJ's revolution rolls on, and I cannot think of a better game to return to after the two week break; love a chance to get at Cardiff. Another small point; I was wary of the last three games - I saw them as a barometer of progress, as in the corresponding fixtures last year we'd won under LJ at Fulham, dramatically drawn at home to Leeds under Cotts, and got one of our rare pre-regime change wins home to Forest. My hope was we could match the points tally we got from the same matches last year, which would suggest we were changing and professing if not improving. But we've only gone and bettered those results, and now Cardiff away (a dull draw under SC last campaign) leaves us the opportunity to improve again. I really hope we can take it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerseybean Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 So today I got off the train at Parson Street Station and walked to the ground, on the way I looked up and saw Pattersons (the catering equipment supplier) in Winterstoke Road, at this exact moment I had a remarkable premonition.

Offside Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Good win today against what seemed to be a very average Forest team. It was a poor first half from us and I was worried that maybe LJ had made too many changes from midweek, but he altered things at half time and overall we were the better side. What composure from Tammy for our equaliser and a great move for Paterson's goal (well deserved too after his recent performances). Brownhill did very well at right back. Things are looking good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nibor Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 We made hard work of it in the first half with so many mistimed or miscued passes in the final third, really showed how we missed Tomlin and that Reid isn't accurate enough to be an understudy for him in the no 10 role. A definite lack of width meant we kept trying to play through the middle and didn't have the quality to do it properly. Second half we switched to a more direct mode of play and gave Tammy some room by putting Wilbraham up there too. It allowed us to grind out a win against a mediocre side, so well done to LJ for changing things early enough to turn the game. Brownhill did well at right back but I was surprised we didn't bring Matthews on to be honest, he's a specialist in that role and if he can't play 45 minutes he shouldn't be on the bench. Paterson again did well and the interplay with Abraham for the goal was lovely. Overall a better result than performance for me, but another 3 points and flying higher than anybody had any right to expect this season. Well done City. The referee and linesmen were notably bad, missing blatant fouls and giving several incorrect offsides and Forest were as bad as I've ever seen them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fiale Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 BTW towards the end of the game, what did I miss O'Dowda had the ball, he was running width wise across the pitch about 15 ft from the half way line, Reid made a sudden run and suddenly you think the easiest thing in the world is for O'Dowda to put the ball just about anywhere in the oppositions half and Reid is 1v1 with their keeper.. he totally wrong footed the whole Forest Defence - instead O'Dowda continues his run, turning into our half and half a dozen players, half pass/tackle later and Flint has to save his ass as Forest look to break. Did I misread what happened, it just looked so perfect, but looked like O'Dowda: Nah sorry Reid...... BTW if Reid want's the central/Forward AM role he needs to stop other players pushing him out of it by them not playing their positions and trying to do his job,,, Tomlin would not have let Patterson / O'Dowda / Brownhill get away with some of the positioning today... ok they had good games, but the congestion and number of players trying to do that role was stupid at times.

OldlandReddies Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Cant disagree that Lee has been very astute with his substitutions but you have to say that they are working more this season as our squad is so much stronger and anyone coming off the bench fresh is quality and well capable of changing the game one way or another.

RobArnold10 Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Have to agree that pricing for POTD is probably about £5 over the top, and I do think the club has missed a trick. However we still are getting good crowds and that's something to be proud of, as long as we do well then the crowds will maintain. As for the game I thought that was the worst Forest side I've seen at AG in 20 years, even their L1 side had more potency than they did!
