MOM v NF??

[Hoop Blah]

Long has not 'proven time and time again' that he can make an impact as a sub. That's seriously stretching things.

More often than not he comes on and has a positive impact, in my opinion.

He might not score, but he has shown a knack of picking up the pace of the game very quickly and asking different questions of defenders. Occassionally that's resulted in a clear chance or a goal.

I guess with the success of Doyle when he came into the team, we haven't looked for a bit from Long than running around a bit. He's got a poor goal-scoring record, even allowing for many of his appearances being as a sub.

I agree his goal scoring record is poor.

I don't think he's good enough to start games but I do think he consistently has a positive effect when he comes off the bench, even if it doesnt lead to goals.

A paraplegic snail coming off the bench would have had a positive effect yesterday.

Having only one limb a snail cannot be paraplegic

Whereas Lita....?

Lita looked pretty hopeless on Sunday - Long could / should have been brought on to liven things up. He usually does that quite well. He's not afraid to rough the defenders up a bit whereas all Lita looks to do is rub his arse into their groins...

[cmonurz]

I just hope Noel has a bit about him. All Sunday showed really though was how much we are going to miss Kitson, who was a good physical presence, as well as being very mobile.

Think you missed the point of the joke really.

Whereas Lita's goal scoring record isn't too bad. Not that I was talking about Lita at all of course.

I agree Coppell should've changed things around on Sunday. We could've nicked all three points if we'd been a bit more positive.

According to Murty on Radio Berks this morning, Coppell didn't make changes because he probably felt the side he picked to start the game where the best eleven to win him the game. Unfortunately they didn't ask him why he bothers to have subs at all then!

[cmonurz]

I'd be interested to know whether Coppell ever had any intention whatsoever of playing Julian Kelly.

At one point in the second half it looked like he was receiving instructions from dillon or something and looked as if he was coming on but it didn't happen. He will get his chance on Tuesday night and will be interesting to see what he can do.

Back to the topic...From watching some highlights i noticed that Hunty actually didn't do too bad. Got down the wings when he could and put in a few good crosses, one in particular when Doyle's header was pushed onto the bar.

It was a joke?

[Sarah Star]

As I rememer it (from watching on the telly) I thought Convey did well getting the ball, taking it up the field and his passing/crossing wasn't too bad, but his final touch let him down when going for a goal.

Completely agreed.
I thought he'd score right at the end.
Yet it was high, wide, and about as beautiful as the beast.

Yeah, Convey's shooting was atrocious, but at least he was willing to have a stab at it.

Yet when I saw the match again, I felt a lot of the chances I thought he'd made were actually Doyle's - particularly getting the ball into the box. But, yeah, it was worth a try at the end. Much harder when the pressure's on.

You sure about that?

I thought it was the match that was the joke

Forests 2 new signings Earnshaw and Moussi were both the MOM for me

We never got started until it was too late anyway

another 5 mins and we might have nicked it

You are joking? He looked awful from where I was sitting.

[rfcjoe]

Moussi ran the show tbh. He was quality, mainly down to both of our midflielders sitting on the edge of the box.
