Forest (A) - Match Thread

[HesNotGudjonsonn2]

Can someone explain this logic to me.

 

Often we pass back to our defenders to draw their attackers forward to give us space behind then, when we play it through, Skipp and others collect the ball, gesture to slow it down, pass back to the defenders and let Forest get back in position.

 

Whats the point?

 

Surely, you create the space behind and try and attack with some urgency?

Our players can’t play the passes needed and our attack isn’t quick enough

 

So they shit it and go safety

Based on the evidence of that half, I think we have to appreciate that time waits for no man,  and accept that the time has probably come for Vardy and Skipp to finally retire.

Choudhury could do everything Skipp has done today 

True, but we might get paid on Hamza by Wilder and co if they go up.  Ain't no fxxker putting money down for Skipp. 

 

At best we'll get a loan for him.

 

 

Skipp for hire.

I think you’re talking about the Thomas ‘foul’.

 

I agree, LT won the battle, they both fell to the ground, LT won the battle by getting up first to get to the ball. Free kick to the other player.

 

What’s the point in being strong in football anymore when you have stupid pussy officials.

 

 This happens all the time, so crap to watch

Skipp is so bad

[Number 6]

We must be the least inspiring side with the ball. Knock it around and the back, often getting close to being caught out several times, when you get vaguely near the halfway line turnaround and start again.

[JonnyBoy]

Skipp needs to be dragged asap!!

[TrentFox]

Oliver Sideways really is an awful footballer. £25m. What were we thinking? 😞

[coolhandfox]

Amount of times we give away 10 yards outside our own box we a dreadful pass.

Unfortunately Skipp is having a mare!

[JonnyBoy]

Our players look so half arsed it’s unreal, shocking body language 

[Tielemans63]

Can only think some folk must have done very well personally out of that £25m for Skipp. He's awful.

Hmmm yeah great point. I wonder what the difference is between the likes of Ayew, Faes and Vardy?

 

Nope I've got nothing....

He's even worse than that.

[Claudio Fannieri]

The biggest problem is if you are going to persist with playing out from the back like we do then you have to pick a deep lying playmaker who can collect the ball from the goalkeeper or defenders and be able to break lines with their passing unfortunately when you are picking the likes of Ndidi, Skipp and Soumare you get players who predominantly want to pass it backwards or sideways. 

[StevieH]

If there is one word that sums this team up it's SLOW. Slow in the build up play, no pace in the side, no urgency, no movement.......just sloooow!

He’s not awful- and not worth 25 m

[AKCJ]

49th minute and we've already resorted to "every time we get it ****ing whack it" mode.

 

This team is the absolute pits

Mute button is your friend if you don't have the choice to turn off commentary. I always hit the mute button, I don't even want the stadium FX. Churches have better atmosphere than Premier League grounds
