Barkermush Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Apparently we're having to wear amber shorts as Saints only brought black /o\ Had you have been wearing your usual shorts, you wouldn't have lost tonight. Superstition/ usual routine and all that. Just seen the Leeds/ Forest goals, Mcleary scored some absolute cracking goals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nottingham Forest Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 That's all McCleary does tbh. Most of his goals have been long range efforts. Apart from one iirc. Which was a diving header against Millwall. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cms186 Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 having sort of got over the euphoria of winning 7 ( SEVEN ) - 3, i am reinded that Leeds were dirty ****ing diving bastards, Becchio and Snodgrass especially Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJB_1990 Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 We are down now, end of. You'll struggle to find a worse performance than that, complete joke. Many went home after 55 minutes, it was that bad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barkermush Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 This is from a Burnley forum: How the hell can a SC team score 7(seven) goals away from home?He certainly does not do open attacking football, especially away from home. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nottingham Forest Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Were Leeds that bad? Or were we just that good? If we played like we did against Derby, trying to break play up etc etc. We couldn't have scored 7 today if we played like that. So we must have been a little more attacking.

cms186 Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 he said thats the way he wants his teams to play he better start Majewski more often then he said majewski had been out injured for a month or so, which explains his absence, but why is this the first we've heard of it?

G-Man11 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Forest fans coming out of everywhere all of a sudden Really does look like 3 from 4 now, with it being ridiculously tight between us, Donny and Pompey atm but Bristol City really do seem to be in free fall. Not sure where we're going to get any goals from now till the end of the season though with McSheffrey our only fit midfielder who isn't basically a DM. Really showed against Watford on Saturday and we seriously struggled to create anything. In fact McSheffrey is our only fit left footed player Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrDiCanio Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Same as always. Dont understand why we've signed Morrison, I really dont.

kccircle Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Long drive back from Hull tonight - some prat smashed my window Was really pleased at the way we played tonight despite the result. Soton really organised and break at pace. The physio has built a good team. Despite the goals, not really sure about Lambert - doesn't seem very mobile Saying that we had our chances. Oppo GK kept out 3 shots from Joshua King alone and Cairney rammed one down his throat from 35 yards late on. We struggle with our formation without a decent striker though. Neither Fryatt nor McLean are good enough for the way we play. Disappointed tonight but with only a point preventing us being in the playoffs we need to re-group and move on. 1st defeat since Jan 3 I think and no embarrassment to lost to that team tonight Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-Man11 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Just having a look at some of our stats in the bbc match preview and noticed this: • The club with the poorest attack in the Championship, are also in danger of a 500th loss in second level league football. For some reason I didn't realise we had the worst attack in the league (and this is from before Forest scored 7) but now I think about it it's hardly surprising. Suppose I just presumed it had to be Forest really. Anyway had a look and we've managed 31 goals in 37 games which is truly pathetic Interesting to note that Hull who are only a point off the play-offs have only scored 37 (in 37) themselves. Which is less than Forest now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Le God Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Despite the goals, not really sure about Lambert - doesn't seem very mobile. In 35 Championship games he has 24 goals and 10 assists. Does it really matter how "mobile" you think he is? Every manager in this league and a number of Premier League managers would sign him in a heartbeat given the chance. Yes, he isn't quick, but he is strong in the air, excellent movement off the ball, has a great first touch, eye for a pass and all round technical ability. He really isn't the lump of a targetman some think he is, there is a lot more to his game. Plus he can hardly be called "fat" like some opposition fans do. He has lost a lot of weight in the last 3 years since moving to Saints, who have put him on a strict regime that he didn't have at Bristol Rovers. If Grant Holt can do well in the Premier League, Rickie Lambert could easily. He has outscored him before and I think when in the same league again, he will do again.

We did look to have turned a corner with some positive results and performances but then we've gone backwards, following those results up with two of the worst performances I've seen, both at home against "beatable" teams. We needed 3-4 points from those games because our next few games are Saints away, Palace away (game in hand) and Birmingham at home. Don't think we have a chance anymore, we can't defend, control a game, or even score more than 1 goal. And the manager seems to have lost the fans' backing already.

Benjani'sBootCleaner Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Cotterill clearly just decided that his players can choose the tactics. There's no way after being a goal up would he let any of his players go past the half way line Awesome game last night, a little bit of luck finally and the Coventry game becomes massive now.

Matthew Le God Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Dean Windass was 39 and did about that the last time we went up. No he didn't. - Windass scored 11 Championship goals in 37 games. - Lambert has scored 24 Championship goals in 35 games and has 10 assists. How many penalties by the way? A penalty isn't a guaranteed goal (just ask Liverpool). It is a skill in its own right. In any case even if you take out Lambert's 9 penalties from his 24 league goals he would still be joint top scorer in the Championship with 15 goals.
