Great strike, it must be said.

Happy with Palmer going off, had Walker overlapping him a few times and instead of trying the pass he’s turned back or inside!

Can’t remember one player taking his man on down the wing and getting behind them.

We need a Steve Coppel/ Highway.

That’s what TAA can do.

 

[Arthur Wedge]

Yep. I’m so bored I’ve retreated to the kitchen to slave over a hot stove and a cold can of Thatchers.

Keep me updated…..

TAA with a scrappy goal

 

[Billysboots]

Well that’s not a bad effort

Without me knowing what’s just happened, I think I know what’s just happened.

England’s best left back strikes again.

 

[Don Barzini]

it’s not “cheating” to ensure a result that will help the team they support.

You have to get past the whole “league , referees” etc are out to get us

They are human - they make mistakes , some are poor and make more than others. Forest aren’t the only club hard done by because of refs making mistakes

Which is literally what I said a couple of posts ago.

No worries though, let’s move on.

Has Luke Shaw risen from his sick bed?

You’ve spilt your cider.

 

[Arthur Wedge]

it’s good to see Madueke going at his marker - it’s stretching the pitch

Looks like Walker and TAA have swapped - think that would work a lot better

Teemu Pukki seems to be enjoying the food in America

It's no longer the fashion to beat a man and whip a cross over. Now you beat a man, stop, pass it backwards to the full back behind you. Do strikers even bother making a run for the cross anymore? Why waste their energy.?

Grumpy moment over, we can both get back to remembering proper wingers

 

[Slime]

That's better, nice goal.

Watkins just did and we scored.
Might be something in it

Nice goal that. Good to see someone taking on a defender on the outside.

It depends on what sort of “forward,striker” etc you have in your team

A old school chalk winger will thrive if there is someone in the box for people to cross the ball into

But a lot of teams now have their full backs crossing and providing the width and then crossing for the oppo wide forwards to get on the end off

Chalk on the boots wingers only really happen in 4-4-2 etc


That’s poor marking

 

[clubchamp98]

That’s so poor.

 

[Piece]

That's a poor poor goal to concede.

 

[Billysboots]

Schoolboy defending, that.

 

[AmandaJR]

I don't think Jack has let me down. Put a shift in. Rashford not fit to clean his boots

Don’t really want an out and out winger.
But take him on once or twice give him something to think about.
