We haven't had a midfield to boss games for years. |
Need a really good defensive midfielder to sit alongside Grimes. |  |

Depends what you mean by boss. We were keeping the ball and barely giving teams a kick in the second half of last season. |
Don't know if you're old enough to remember Robbie James, but he would boss a game, Jasp. |  |

The age old problem.
Cooper is all about effort, the more effort, the better the result !
The more quality, the better result........always will be . | | | |

I thought it was Grimes. Agree. He had to take one for the team there, there was no other sensible option. |
It was. Right in front of me. He should have taken him down and had the opportunity to do so. Learning curve. | | | |

I agree. I've read on this site quite a few posts regarding Jay Fulton. He was by a country mile our worse performer today. Took a few bollockings from VDH, but never went looking for space to take a pass. Not sure if he's carrying an injury or what bet never at the races today. |
Fulton gave one of his best "hiding from the ball" performances today. I'm afraid I advocated playing him against teams that were likely to bully us in midfield. Unfortunately, the Forest team that bullied us last year have morphed into a very good footballing side. We didn't get bullied, so Fulton was anonymous. How many times did VdH throw up his arms in disgust that there was no-one to play a simple ball to in midfield? [Post edited 14 Sep 2019 21:14]

Midfield is, and has been an issue for many a season. | |

I'd have Byers in for Fulton and Naughton for Bidwell, as Potter had it. We struggle to play out with Cooper's preferred lineup, and are frequently left waiting for vdH to punt a 40 yard ball to get any sort of attack started. We've become very easy to nullify.
I'd probably have Dyer over Ayew as well as he's been the only player Roberts can work out any sort of partnership with. Unlucky to get injured as he was playing well before that. |
Dyer in for Ayew eh? Do yourself a favour and don’t post on here again. |  |

Is Grimes doing enough to keep his place?
Not for me.
Pressure of captaincy? Was last season a one off?
At this rate Carroll will walk back into the side.
International break did us no favours and Roberts was back to his gobby best - shame his football isn't at the same level as his moaning. |  |

Its one of those games that is difficult to call, Forest on their day can turn over anyone. That said however we are more than capable of the same.
I am going to go with 3-1 to the Swans |
The player that should of had his second yellow card would of made such a difference at that time we were put pressure on them.
The ref even put his hand into his pocket but them must of realised he had already been booked. |  | | |

I'm not quite sure why Cooper allows this when his emphasis is on togetherness and team spirit. He's two games overdue a rest now. | |

When Carroll is fully fit he will be in the team anyway Cooper rates him highly, I expect him to take Fultons place.
Roberts imo has been poor ever since he had a new contract. | |

Forest were quicker to move the ball and also quicker to break but they were
also very cynical often leaving the foot in. Pulling shirts pushing the ref let them get away with too much.
Forest created more shots on goal than us but our keeper kept them out until we made a simple mistake
We put them under pressure early doors with lots of corners but we couldn’t convert.
They did play good football but also still played dirty and mostly got away with it | |

Not "work on", no. To actually have some sort of combination down the right, which we were badly lacking today.
Despite what has been said on here Ayew is not "the best player in the division" or anything like it. He can be a good player for us but only as part of a team that plays well together. Personally I'd play him up front of not at all as Guidolin did (and West Ham when they used him iirc), if we're to get the best out of him. |
Pablo Hernandez is the best player in the championship
No way would I drop Borja up top with Ayew |  | | |

Ayew in the no10, drop Grimes into DM Celina into CM and have Routledge & Garrick on the wings.
Woodman
Naughton
VDH
Rodon
Bidwell/John
Grimes
Celina
Routledge
Garrick
Ayew
Borja
And hope Peterson & Kalulu come good in time, Dyer for me slows us down as he doesn't want to take on anymore and more often than not passes it back, Garrick will only get better the more he plays if he can stay fit. | |
