We're coming ;)

It has been a long time coming though.;)

Nice to see Forest back at Old Trafford. Comfortable win in the end for United. The Forest defence did ok but the pace of United caused them problems. A howler from the keeper for the second. Forest a bit lightweight up top.

The purists of German political history would insist East Germany dissolved and it’s states joined Germany.

The Federal Republic of Germany (Bundesrepublik Deutschland) has existed since 1949.

You are never going to do well if you gift the other side goals. :(

The first was poor defending, the second was questionable goal keeping.
Its a shame our goal was ruled out for offside, it might have made more of a match out of it.

TBH, I never expected mutch from this match, my hope this season is get enough points at home [and the odd away match] to avoid relegation.

Re: Season 22-23
 

No goals scored away since August and only 11 in total highlights the main area for concern.☹

Re: Season 22-23
 

The defending is also of concern, aways defeats of 3 - 0, 4 - 0, 5 - 0 & 6 - 0.
Twice losing at home 2 - 3. Scoring a goal or two (home or away) isnt much use when you are conceeding so many. :(

Re: Season 22-23
 

Tbf Paul most teams will lose to Man City and Arsenal away heavily. We have, at least, played 3 of the top 7 teams away as well as recent champions (Leicester).



Our one away goal (well, we might have more if VAR didn't happen) got us a point at Everton and could have been 3 if we'd held onto the lead. Likewise the 3-2 at home vs Fulham and Bournemouth were disappointing because we were ahead in both games but we have been better at that recently.



There's plenty of room for improvement but we had to settle 22 new players in the summer and with another about to be registered and who knows what we will bring in during the window, hopefully not too many as we really only need a striker who can hold it up better than the ones we have. But not everyone is going to be able to afford a Haaland or an Alvarez or a Rashford in the window so we're not going to be getting an established PL player there either. If we can get a mobile CB that would be nice too but actually I think Boly alongside one of the 3 from last season would probably be OK.



As for last night it was important we held on and didn't do anything silly at the back. Then someone decided not to mark Rashford (don't get zonal marking at all) and gave him a free sandwich, er I mean shot. He wasn't going to miss that. I don't think the 2nd was a keeping error. He was wrong footed by it bouncing and going through Boly's legs and was largely unsighted until late on yet managed to get a hand on it, unfortunately that wasn't enough to tip it wide, which perhaps made it look worse than if he'd not got to it at all. Then we have Dennis being silly as per usual and giving the ball away in a dangerous area and they got a 3rd. But largely we didn't do too badly and it could have easily been another 5 or 6 but I don't think many would have expected us to get anything at all really.


At worst we go down and keep the squad for promotion again next season.

Coventry 3 Wrexham 4.
The S4c commentary were very excited by it ! 3 leagues between them. The FA Cup delivers more excitement than the Premiership ever will .

Re: Season 22-23
 

Villa 1 Stevenage 2. Another 3 league turnover. I'm not sure these Premiership players are all they are cracked up to be. The standard of football isn't that different, just the finances of the clubs.

Re: Season 22-23
 

Most of these premiership teams are not playing their full sides.
Forest made 11 changes (so changed the entire team) for their match.

It makes a bit of a joke of the FA Cup [ and is very annoying for fans ].
I feel like our fans who paid to go to Blackpool on Saturday were cheated. :td:

Re: Season 22-23
 

Teams used to get fined for fielding under strength sides. Not that the big boys would give a toss about that. Maybe chucking them out of the cup and European competitions would have more effect.
