Forest Post Match Thread

[Guest Mee-9]

Defence seemed to freeze after Weale saved for the second.

We were pretty poor, Forest weren't much better.

[lcfc"weasel"]

I have so much to say to sum up todays events.

Firstly, I thought that our support was absolutely fantastic, the best all season I would say in the first 25 minutes and again when we scored our 2nd, between then it was iffy but still we outsang the scum. The celebrations were completely mental, I fcuked my knee up on the chair in front (even more reason to bring in safe standing!). As for the flare, that was absolutely top class, loved every bit of it - just next time hold it up for longer!

As for the scum fans, complete and utter morons. Singing 3-2 in your cup final yet they didn't sing once all game apart from their 20 fans that stood next to the away fans. After the game they were also giving the big one, picking on kids, strutting around as if they'd won the European cup again and swearing at Leicester fans on the other side of the street, fcuking pussys.

Now to sum up our performances. Yet again, individual errors have cost us points and this has pretty much been the story of our season. The first goal, I couldn't see clearly but in my opinion it didn't look like Weale could have done much, but the centre-halfs should not have got split like that and the defender in front (Bruma I believe) should really have done better in the air.

The 2nd goal was 50/50 with the Weale, I think he saw it late as there was a defender in front but he could have at least pushed it wider instead of straight in front of him. As for the 3rd goal, a complete and utter joke from Weale - is he having a competition to see how many times he can appear on 'Goalkeeping gaffes edition 562 - xmas special'.

I now have some players that I have a bone to pick with:

Firstly, Yakubu is a complete and utter donkey. As David Moyes says, defence starts in attack, Yakubu does not do this. The one where he was one on one with their defender and then he just fell over was completely laughable. He didn't even compete for headers in the air and contributed nothing. Vassell has done more down the middle in 3 and a half matches than Yak has in 14/15 odd.

Secondly, Sven was completely clueless again tactically, bringing on Yuki when he did when Oakley was playing well? Bringing on Howard when we were crying out for pace up top? Starting again with that joke of a player called Bruma (yes another loss while he has played)? Keeping King on once again when he's doing nothing once again?

Another point that I have is that apart from Vitor, Naughton, Mee, Wellens and Oakley, what did the others contribute, which brings me on to another point:

Why does Sven in his interview, always after a loss have to say, 'welllllll, you can't blame any individuals, it is a team.' Welllll, for fcuks sake, the same old players are playing shit but you keep playing them whilst hungry and committed players are left on the bench!

I also have to show my disgust at Bruma's radio interview after the match. He claimed that Chelsea send scouts to every match and make notes and assess your progress within a team and as an individual, YET when asked another direct question from Stringer (who really went for it against this clown ) he claimed that he does not know what these scouts have been thinking of his performances or what they've been saying. Now, does that smell like bullshit because surely, the feedback should be given to the player? He was then asked what he thought about his own performances of late and believe it or not he spoke more bullshit. So cocky and arrogant but can't match that with his performances - piss off. Even if he makes it in the Prem he will be on the most hated footballers list alongside Busquets and Ronaldo.

Great post, but Oakley got a groin injury according to what was said on SkySports.

[The Doctor]

Harsh? What part of any of that was harsh!?!

We couldn't defend... Bruma was a joke as was Weale. I was a big fan of his last year and in League One and yet this season he's been a joke.

In midfield, sure we had Wellens who did fairly well, Oakley scored a good goal but that's about it and then there's King who was non-existant which negated any benefits Richie had!

As for up front... Kamara, nothing. Yakubu was about as useful as a large turd and Gallagher just kept losing the ball!

You know things aren't going well if Vassell, a SUB, comes on and probably achieves more to the team than the rest had up until that point...

Some of these players can **** right off. Sven needs a DAMN good summer to really sort this team out. Get them bonding and organised as this can't go on. Not good enough, and as such, not good enough for the play-offs. Come on Reading!

despite the fact weale only arrived last season and didn't play for us in league 1?

Well Weale might have been to blame for those goalkeeping errors, but the amount of times there was confusion and mistakes being made by the back line really led to an overall shambolic defensive display.

I fail to see how either of our goals were 'set up' by defenders either... one was from Oakley minutes almost after the ball had been back in our half and the second was, sure enough, from a cross that might have been from a defender, I can't remember, but it was one moment where we got lucky with the keeper spilling it. I never said Naughton had a bad game either... he was probably one of our best players... but 1 player doesn't make a back line.

They weren't, however weales mistakes created two goals for them by parrying a simple shot back into the centre and then possibly the worst keeping mistake i've ever seen.

Disappointing, i thought our fans were fairly quiet for most of the game, and on the pitch:

The yak was poor but he needs service to be able to do anything and our midfield just couldn't supply that.

Bruma still doesn't impress what so ever.

Vitor is a very good player - the pure cheek of stepping on the ball and dragging it round to leave the forest striker on his ass when vitor was the last man is beautiful.

Vassell looked good when he came on and clearly needs to play through the middle.

For all his promise v burnley, kamara looks poor.

Weales mistakes are terrible and costing us, granted ricardo wasn't the best keeper we've had but being hounded out by the fans + stringer and young was clearly wrong - he's probably a better choice that weale but two good goalkeepers are a must this summer.

1) Nope, it was Vitor who didn't jump for it. Just a superb cross though, 'undefendable'.

2) Sky reckon Oakley had done his groin, hence the substitution. Shame as he was playing well.

Personally, from the tv, I though Bruma played quite well. Didn't do anything major wrong as far as I saw. Weale was the main culprit for mistakes today, 2nd goal was poor, and 3rd was completely ridiculous.

[Tom17LCFC]

Flare was let off mate. Looked pretty decent .

cheers man, thought there lot had threw something down or something.

[Father Ted]

Ahhh... fair enough if Oakley was injured.

[Tom17LCFC]

Is it just me as well, or does Bruma just look completely lost and out of place on a football pitch?

Most of this post I agree with (and I'm not surprised about your assessment of Forest fans, they really are a bunch of wasters, pathetic excuses for fans)

Not sure what Bruma said on the radio so can't comment.

But I thought Sven got it tactically right today, it's just individuals didn't turn up as you said. Oakley was replaced by Abe because he was injured. Howard came on to hold it up, we had been playing long high balls up all game and Yakubu and Kamara were useless with them. Howard could have used his strength and dare I say it 'pashun' to hold it up and get our midfield forward. King was anonymous but who do you bring on instead? Maybe Dyer, but still. And as much as Bruma did nothing to impress me, at least PVA didn't play. It was one or the other really.

[Simmo86]

When was the flare let off?

[Guest Mee-9]

When was the flare let off?

After the second, I'll stick a picture on inabit, It's not the best, just the smoke, can't see the light. But yeah.

[Donut]

Has the penny finally dropped to those twats who start a "we can still do it" thread after every bleeding game

[Father Ted]

When was the flare let off?

After our 2nd.

[Ricey]

Biggest problem with today is having 3 attackers that drop deep, it gives us no options.

That changed when Vassell came on.

All in all though, we are not good enough for promotion and in a weird way I'm glad it's all decided now.

But it's not though - it's still mathematically possible so we can still do it. Believe damnit!

[iBleedLeicesterColours]

Shambolic day.

Started with the train scenario. All trains at Hinckley cancelled. Rush to Leicester. Escorted. Missed the pub.

Eventually get there. Greeted by strict ID checks etc. Id'd 3 times then in the ground has my beer snatched out of my hand and spoken to like shyte only to embarras the steward for givin it the biggun saying why do i have a beer with an underage ticket ? I then spelt the word STUDENT out to him made him feel a complete twat infront of his cronies. ****.

Oh and that fat bloke in their end was vileeeee. Was there something going off at the back of our stand ?

Weale drops 2 clangers. Promotion over. Loss to our rivals. Lost a shed load of money needlessly.

Fuming.

[iBleedLeicesterColours]

Im just pissed off.

I will give my footballing assessment after watching it on sky+

[nffc_Galidia]

Unbelievable.... no-one looked particularly bothered today. Vitor was the only player on both sides with any modicum of class.

Lewis McGugan has plenty of class... just needs to up his defensive workrate

[Kitchandro]

I would definitely sign McGugan tbf

[FoxyPV]

I really don't want to talk about it.

[MC Prussian]

What a comedy of errors. Deflated I was on the way back to the coach.

a) I still can't believe how many players we have that couldn't give less about the club and/or its fans - today, our main asset was reacting to the opposition, instead of making things happen actively. The players in blue only seemed to care when 1-0 and 2-1 down respectively.

And that in a game against one of our main rivals. THANKS ****ING MUCH!

The players can't interact the way they should, the system's flawed, there's no teamplay - just look at the amount of justified offsides flagged against us today!

Yakubu? Waste of space, Vassell has much more energy and dedication than him

King? Waste of space - was he even on the pitch?

Gallagher was only slightly more visible today

Bruma? Waste of space, liability in defense, can't distribute or hold back opposing attackers, puts his own goalkeeper in danger with silly backpasses

Wellens? Couldn't pass for two yards straight today

Oakley? One lucky goal and that was it, but he got subbed off due to injury, so what do I know...

Kamara did quite well once more and was unfortunate to get booked for virtually nothing.

Vitor's awful defending was the reason for the first goal against. In fact, no one near the ball knew or cared about where it was going.

But to be fair, at least Vitor was one of the few that got better as the game progressed.

Looking at the entire 95 minutes, I thought Mee and Naughton were our best players on the pitch today.

b) Our opposition can be as shit as they can be, we still manage to give points and goals away. F"*çst were abysmal (true to their current form prior to the game), never had a decent dominating spell, yet we still concede three goals out of two chances. That's the third time in eight games we've allowed three goals!!

c) Weale is shit and he's got to go - the way he disappeared from the crowd after the game tells it all

d) the City Ground is one of the best morgues I've seen all season

e) It's nice to sit in a LCFC WAG area like I did, but those WAGs need to be able to take the stick aimed at their partners. Misses Weale, here's to you.

f) Spirits are very low. Just look at the way Gallagher and Wellens had a go at each other and everyone around them after the final whistle.

The end of this season can't come any quicker. HELP, I NEED SOME OXYGEN!

[nffc_Galidia]

d) the City Ground is one of the best morgues I've seen all season.

It was quieter than normal, thats for sure, but still better than the plastic premiership fans can produce, and to be fair we have had the stuffing knocked out of us in the last 2 months.

but there was plenty of noise at times, in-particular the last 10minutes (and during that damn Paul McCartney song they insist on playing)

Blackpool in the play-offs last year was the loudest crowd I've heard since the 1970's and we get hammered.. so noise isn't everything.

Exactly, you only sang when you went 3-2 up. Your disabled inbreds sang more outside of the ground than inside it, w*nkers.

Another thing that I was disgusted by was when a Forest fan started on a Leicester fan right in front of the police, the Forest fan continued swearing at the Leicester fan - provoking him until the Leicester fan told him to **** off and then the Leicester fan got nicked! Disgusting.

Respect boys!

[lcfc_jme]

Don't give a shit if the flare looked good or the fact that we scored twice. We deserved at least a point and were it not for Weale being such a complete liability we'd probably have got what we deserved from the game. Absolutely embarrassed, one million percent infuriated and genuinely wondering what the point in turning up was when we were let down by such a basic error. Next week with the Forest fans is going to be fun... Not. Cheers Weale you dick.
