Sporar was quite poor up to that point in the second half yet Hernandez was replaced who over the course of the game was better overall. Might be wrong but that was my initial thoughts Maybe. Or maybe they just 💕 each other Link to post Share on other sites

RiseAgainst 3,777 Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 Was at the in-laws today so missed the game, but watched the highlights on Quest. We look so solid and organised, it's hard to believe this is the same squad Warnock had blowing out of their ar*es after an hour and always conceding late on. Our defence looks Aitor-era watertight, and we're a couple of attacking players away from terrorising the best teams this league can offer. Given our current level of form and confidence, we should be targeting automatic promotion with half the season left and form teams like Forest and Bournemouth comfortably dispatched. We might fall short, but it's worth aiming high. Although I'm not normally a gambling man, I'm so confident we'll at least make the the play-offs that if we don't, I will cook and eat an omelette with my own pubic hair in it.

Foogle 2,078 Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 I always go back to the adage, you're never as good as they say you are when you win and never as bad when you lose. But Christ it's hard not to get swept up with this football! 😍 3 Link to post Share on other sites

You heard it here first. I don't know how you picked that up purely from the paltry Quest highlights. The first half was unreal. At times Forest couldn't get out of their own box, never mind half. We were utterly, utterly dominant. Link to post Share on other sites

Dynamo Kev 1,552 Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 (edited) get payero into the team and find the right guy up top for sporar and we are laughing. maybe a little weak at lwb still but short term cover in taylor will do us. bola shouldnt be written off. so dont want us signng another lwb. push tav to lwb and put payero in his slot and if jones gets injured djed slots in. pelts covers the wbs and wide cbs. the lads need to find a cutting edge. they cut teams open but still to wastful. bad passes cost us today. not that it actually cost us but could have. better than it was though, we are now making the right passes but not pulling them off. before wilder we werent even doing that lol Link to post Share on other sites

Payero will get his chance when one of the midfield 3 get injured or suspended and its up to him to take it and not look back. Taylor should continue at LWB pretty much indefinitely in my opinion, looks far more assured than Bola although neither are particularly good going forward. Link to post Share on other sites
TeaCider24 12,401 Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 The table since Wilder took over. Should have beaten Preston and Millwall too, it's looking good right now. Link to post Share on other sites
TeaCider24 12,401 Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Thoroughly enjoyed the game yesterday, thought we played some entertaining stuff and but for Samba repeatedly pulling off good saves we'd have went in at half time 3 or 4-0 up. I actually missed the opening goal as I had turned to clap Ikpeazu warming up when I saw Forest had possession again, it was only when my brother starting cheering next to me that I looked back and saw the players celebrating. Ikpeazu looked as shocked as me. Link to post Share on other sites

I think Wilder has already shown Warnock up for the fraud he is. indoubtedly the most enjoyable run of games for at least 5 years. Warnock who? Link to post Share on other sites
