I saw Khan in that lineup and instantly knew we would lose.

The game isn't over but at about 70 minutes we are 3 nil down and he has conceded 3 out of 5 shots on target.

his record is truly diabolical, very rare that he concedes any less than 3 goals in a game

 

Edit - Just looked,

17 games since joining Rovers where has has conceded at least 3

11 games since joining Rovers that he has not conceded at least 3 goals

1 of those 11 was a clean sheet, this was it, it was nearly 2 years ago

They really should let him go. If they don't want to pay him off, send him out on loan until his contract ends. I don't care what level. These defeats sap the confidence of our young lads as they develop.

A really poor performance from the Under-21's tonight.  Totally outplayed, outfought and overwhelmed by a Forest side that was very impressive on the night. 

Our back four were simply awful.  So many errors in their own area, failing to pick up players, failing the clear the ball and then repeating those errors over and over again.  Khan was at fault for the first but badly let down by his defence for the others.  However, the midfield was ineffective despite the efforts of Garrett in the first half and Dunn in the second half.  

Up front, young Higgins tried hard but suffered with the physical side of the game and was taken off, presumably with injury, at half-time.  Forest defenders give him a rough time after he made a very bright start.  He's certainly not ready to go into the first team and I suspect needs to play more Under-18 football for the rest of this season.

In truth, not one player came out of this game with any credit.  So many elementary errors all over the pitch that Forest were quick to exploit.

I suspect the Under-18's will be drafted in to play in tomorrows Under-21 fixture with Blackpool.

We have fixtures two days in a row? How is that even allowed?
