I thought he had his best game for us to date (or at least the home games I have seen him play in).  Is he giving us a return on the £7m definitely not yet but he was bought for the long term so we have to give him time..

What is confusing me is the following:

His previous manager didn't have him starting 

His previous club supporters loved him

Current manager isn't starting him

..To date I haven't seen anythimh of note to confirm he's gonna be a player for us.. although I do recall it took Dack some minutes to get upto speed for us too..  momentum is key and I think he needs games in his favoured position just can't see him getting them though?? 

Hence why I am confused wonder what the management view us on him?! 

Against better opposition we will concede... the proof is in the pudding... it's not speculating.. we try and sit back for 35 minutes we will concede 8/10 times... I just don't get it! 

Great win of course and happy with the points 

Mulgrew makes such a difference... wonder if we would be better suited recruiting a proper CB alongside him and using Lenihan in CDM? 

Never a pen in a million years... 

But.. same as.. we went 2-1 up and then sat back.. herein lies the problem 

How has our 6m man played so far? 

My team would be:

Lutweiler 

Travis Downing Rodwell Williams 

Palmer Reed Rothwell Conway 

Armstrong Berereton

So did Reed play on the right side of the three then? 

Phhhhhewwwwwww

Absolute joke!!!!!! 

How have we been playing..  How has the formation worked?? Lol 

Rothwell needs to play...

Yes hope he's true to his word because at present I think he's over loyal

Hope I'm wrong on this but I think we've been sold a pup in Brereton. Movement was poor, ball retention poor and was lacking in pace and strength. Got to hope he improves..and fast.

I said the same thing to my lads on the walk home.. my 13yr old then went on to remind me about Dacks first 4 or 5 games for us.. 

The forest fans rated him very highly l, says something for me.

Well that was a bit of a rollercoaster game!! 

When I saw the teams before the game, I said to my son's.. looks like its the end of our unbeaten home run.. they started off really well and we edged back into the game (along with help for Lenihan).. typical achilles heel for us trying to hold onto a lead late on... Tony has to review the tactic of sitting back.. there has to be another way.. 

Some highlighted thoughts on players from me:

Reed - this guy looks immense, should be playing CDM with either Evans or Bennett for me! 

Lenihan - worst game in some time, the more I see him play the more I think he is more suited to be a CDM, the way he flies in, he can afford to do that with someone behind him if he cocks up?! 

Brereton - I'm a bit confused by what our strategy is with this guy.. is he gonna be a attacking wide striker or are we helping him learn his trade to be the main man in the future? 

Bell - Definitely going forward than defending 

Nyambe - this lad has made great progress and I honestly didn't think he had it in him.. so big well done! 

Dack - exceptional at times, personally don't think he's good enough for any premier league teams.. But he was great at times.

Overall Ok with the point both Mike everyone else disappointed given the position  we were in..  positive signs again and I think with a few more windows we will be a very good team! 

I'm surprised Ben didn't get on the pitch yesterday... 

Reality check that the gap between league 1 and championship is pretty monumental! Our decent start has been against average (At best teams) Brentford aside.. 

We can't afford to carry people in this league, our best team should be playing, the minimum requirement to get into the match day squad should be attitude and legs.  Without both of these we may as well be a man down which will result in only one thing! 

One of the things I have noticed with Tony is he needs a defeat to change things and generally tends to stick rather than twist when we get draws and wins irrespective of the individual performance.  Case being Rothwell / Smallwood.

We should have buried our chances 

Which channel is the game on please chaps? Sorry if already posted

My team would be:

Raya 

Nyambe Mulgrew Lenihan Bell

Bennett Evans

Palmer Dack Rothwell

Armstrong (if fit) Brereton if not  

Anyone know if Chapman is expected to be loan only or loan with buy?

Are we watching the same clips??!!

Lad is 18 in most of the footage and has absolutely everything in his locker!?

I'm not for one minute saying I know better than Tony and his team, I'm just intrigued to understand what his attributes or even his potential attributes are..
