Not really. Just not really thought to comment on it.
Some musings:
- wondering what would have happened if we'd played Clingan from the start.
- Their goals were incredibly lucky though - the first was heavily deflected off Curtis and Smith probably would have saved it, he should have saved the FK if he'd moved earlier, and the third was just a mess.
- Chavchenko missed a host of chances, 30 million my ass.
- I haven't seen a side have so much possession in a half ever.
- Anyway, this match highlighted what we all knew before that. We were never going to get anything, case of damage limitation, and aside from taking half a game to settle it was - 3-0 is convincing, but not really hammered.
- Gary Holt is ****, he does nothing. He's incapable of anything.
- Bennett still doesn't know where the left back position is, he thinks he should stay on the touchline halfway between the centre line and the goal line, or even in front of the D. At times, we had Grant Holt, Breckin, Curtis and at one point even Tyson covering his position.
- Lester is finished, that challenge on Morais was awful (Rumour is, he's off to Northampton as p/ex for Luke Chambers this week).
- Grant Holt is not a left mid, why did we not start with Tyson or even Perch there?
- Otherwise, once they'd worked who to pass to, and that they actually had to try and harry Chelski, they were OK.
- That ginga 16 year old child that Chelski brought on... priceless
It was always going to be about the money. Hopefully watching bridge will show Bennett how to be a left back. Money from the TV, and the gate receipts, will help Forest a lot. A day out, good experience for the players, now let's get the league back on track and go up, then we can think about playing them as the norm. Long way to go though.
Rumour also is that Prutton's returning from Southampton this week for 250k. Boy do we need him then we can **** Gary Holt off to the stud.
