Was rugby played on the pitch recently? It's looks pretty bumpy. Ya,this is what Michael O'Neill does. There is a reason he made Northern Ireland relatively successful with the players at his disposal. 5 at the back when out of possession and look to hit on the break. Luckily their better players appear short on confidence. I think there are a couple of goals here for us

I think we all agree we needed one of them, it's just he would still be on the bench! Ya,you would think Mulgrew would be on the bench

Christ. Johnson could end up at CB in a disaster scenario. Hopefully not. Actually Nyambe probably.... Feck ,don't think that

Ya,I said he would and should and a certain poster implied I was silly for suggesting this!

Ya,about that ? it's easier this way Just got the game on ifollow-sweet!!

Ah I'm not getting carried away,I think there is about a 5% chance of us making the play offs and roughly a 0.5% chance of us actually winning them.

I know, I know, it's pointless looking at this stuff... But as the Nottingham forest manager said in his interview after the game last night "If we can't dream now, then when can we dream?"

I just checked the remaining fixtures for us, Fulham, Brentford and Bristol city. We have the best on paper. Which means we will probably be out of contention in 4-5 games.

It's so funny. I think he must have gotten too many jabs to the head.

He snarls a bit alright, but he's not arrogant from what I can gather. Very down to earth and humble actually. To be fair to him he has been put in the position of "pantomime villain" due to his stance on the Poppy and the absolute savage, sectarian abuse he receives week in, week out because of this. If it was a black player, receiving similar abuse , it would be the biggest story in world football. Anyways, lets hope Nyambe can keep Powell quite.

Ah ok. I don't agree he is one of the biggest bell ends in football mind, far, far worse than him going around. He doesn't dive, I wouldn't say he is dirty. He miss times some tackles, but I would say he tries to play the ball. Why do you think he is a "bellend"? To be honest though, whatever about him personally, I think he is useless. Headless chicken. Maybe better if he was there instead of Powell.

I presume James McLean will start left mid tonight. I can't see him getting much change out of Nyambe to be fair as his main move is to try and kick it passed the full back and that's not going to get you far against Nyambe. He will keep going though, so need to keep alert. If Johnson or Travis get near him, we could have an incident though

Watched Cardiff against Forest last night. I have to say, we certainly look to have more about us than Cardiff, far more. They had a guy playing upfront, Glatzel, he cost £5.5 million from Germany. The price tag made me compare him to Gallagher , from what I saw last night Gallagher is certainly more athletic. This guys main strength seemed to be diving to win frees, which he did pretty well to be fair. No world beater though, that's for sure. If we spent €5.5 million on a player from the continent, I would certainly be expecting better. Forest have some quality players in key positions; the keeper looks good, Worrell at the back is very solid, Watson in midfield was immense and Grabban upfront a real handful. The guy who scored, Lolly and Cash all look decent too. I think they might be the ones to put pressure on Leeds. Not unbeatable either though by any stretch of the imagination. Big season, all there for the taking!

Ya, Eze E looks a handful alright. It can be like that for strikers, there is the Irish lad whose name escapes me, was on loan at Swindon from Bradford, scored a ridiculous amount of goals, Bradford recalled him , played 6 games for them and never scored before joining Swindon permanently.

I don't get who you want to be more angry about the 2 goal lead slipping or what form you want that anger to take? Everybody was raging we didn't win on here after the game. Most rational people just noted that a draw away to a team in the top 6 in isolation, is a good result. We can only take it game by game now.

I would say they have no idea about that yet as the news changes every day. Hopefully the Premier league gets called off anyway and no trophy for Liverpool ? Ireland are playing Italy in the rugby in a fortnight and the government want it called off, but the IRFU are saying no. It should be called off, but I reckon Italian fans would travel over regardless

Ya, he is always complaining to be fair They would need Wells to get going there as he doesn't seem to have continued his QPR form

Exactly, you are criticizing the fans mentality and as I said, that really doesn't matter. All that matters is that the players mentality is right, which it appears to be.

Ultimately ,it doesn't matter what the fans think, the players are displaying the mentality you speak of. I mean you can't criticize fans for being nervous and realistic , to say "expectations are dumbed down" is a bit of a dig at fans I feel.

Andy Cryer ,the miserable git formerly of the LT, is constantly tweeting about how useless they are. Seems they have no striker

In the not too distant past,I would be worried tomorrow could be 0-0, but I think and hope this team have more about them now and will get the job done. 2-0 Armstrong and Rothwell

Wasn't he wide left in a game recently though? Pretty sure he was. Are you saying TM is daft. Very harsh, very, very harsh Chaddy

Ya and many others see it differently from you too, but indeed, that's a good thing about football- everyone is entitled to their opinion(even if it's wrong ?)

No,it shows they have similar stats, it doesn't in anyway prove they are similar players. You only need your eyes to see that they aren't!

Seriously man, stats are no way to prove that 2 players are similar. Like how would the amount of times a player is dispossessed show they are similar, or literally any of those other criteria? I could pick 2 players, who could not be more different and there stats could be the same. It doesn't mean anything!
