Swansea City - Nottingham Forest

[Sniffer Dog (Admin)]

Would like to give a mention to Cafu who I thought was great when he came on yesterday although just for a short time.

He's not figured much this season but just like Bong he never moans and groans about it and works and trains hard during the week. Top pros both of them.

Time to lay off all the players- Taylor, bong, Cafu… have all had positive impact as subs… bong is the boo boy but for me he millstone have something the manager likes and he is more qualified than all of us…

Positives
- 4 goals away from home against a good side!
- One or two players who have been a bit quieter burst back into form.
-Yet another goal/assist fom Johnson
- Grabbs normally scores in bursts...so hopefully a little run over next month has just started.
-Young FB is fit, could provide the RB solution when Lowe is back IF we do lose Spence.
- 8th in League and upwardly mobile.
-Special mention for Yates. Coopers post match interview explains not only why Ryan in that position (for this game) but also his response to being asked to do it. Priceless that lad is-figuratively. I can see bids coming in for him over next 12 months-(and if he goes those who personally abused him need to look at themselves).
-3 more points.
-generally results went our way.
-Best away supporters in Championship on form again.

Negatives
-Sorry but I have to reference it: Jonnos histrionics. He does not need to do it he is a mega talent and I love watching him in full flow ripping opposition full backs apart. Focus on that youth.
-Scoreline a bit flattering in some ways. If we swop keepers, 3 of ours might have been stopped. But we would never sign a keeper like Hamer....would we....?

100% agree. 

Said it before. Constructive criticism is fine but "not good enough for League 1......should never be seen in a Forest shirt again...wouldn't get in a Sunday league team.." that type of hyperbolic statement is quite personal about someone's profession and not conducive to them playing with confidence in future, regardless whether they earn £100 a week or £30k.

Hands up then, who thought BJ should of been droped/rested for yesterdays game? I was one.

He was terrific, he had the Swansea back line on toast. He needs a pen in his hand and quick. Like how patted the badge after scoring. 

Him and Spence on the right is devastating. Hate the thought come Jan that will be the last we see of it.

Because we changed back to 3-4-3 that gets the most out us, no coincidence the goals flowed again back at that formation.

His development under Cooper has been impressive.  And the role he performed yesterday?  Noteworthy.  His combative 'will to win' is important to Forest.

Cooper said something along lines of : He knew there wouldn't be a load of 50/50 headed duels, but Yates was brilliant at pressuring the man on the ball on the floor  so they asked him to do it from deeper and his response was super positive. He'd do anything for this football club or words to that effect.

Good link and comments by the Coach. He's developing the Forest players such as Yates and even Grabban by given them advanced roles and it's telling that the players themselves are buying into it. And results show this.

Yates and Worrall are probably my two favourite things about Forest at the moment. Good to see another favourite of mine, Colback, too, with a huge smile on his face (See great team photo on Forest website.)

It was a sound team performance yesterday. Made for great viewing on Quest (and nice to see Forest 1st on the highlights for a chance.)
