Dawson Worrall & Watson

[Jacksbadhobbits]

Malta Red's comments on our midfield for the last year are so have usually been on the money.  And with the injury to Sow...we can see Forest haven't been the same side.  Dawson being out too has unsettled the back line (along with, note...Rib' being removed from LB.)

Worrall hasn't seemed as good without Dawson along side him.  But then, he's trying to cover for Fig' and Jack Robinson.  If they'd both done their jobs...

So, I agree with the comments above.  Grabban.  He's carrying the forward line.

Recruitment has gone deeper and higher quality in general with the squad overall.

However, the pivotal positions along the spine?  They rear their heads once more.  It's telling the positions Forest struggled in?  CH.  CM.  Striker.

Wigan 1st half?  No Dawson.  Sow.  Grabban. 

Result?  Mere shadow.

We clearly don't have equal or better cover.  The last two games saw Forest transported back a year in time.

Recruitment has a job to do in January to fix this once and for all.

SA.

Worrall is average at best. Dont expect miracles. Dawson is head and shoulders the best centre back but at 35 years old there cant be much left. Like a number of other positions in the squad, centre back is an area we will need greater quality if we are to get promoted.
