Brereton looks like a lad who’s won a competition to play. He’s been awful. Surely we don’t have to give Forest £6m for him!!

Brereton in the box with 3 v 3 and chips it to the keeper. Woeful

I hope he’s a player, I’ll be gutted if we’ve spent £7m on a plumber!

He’d made a big deal of celebrating their goal in front of the away end and generally being a bit of a bell end so it wouldn’t surprise me if he’d intentionally left the foot in and then panicked when he saw what had happened.

Found it

The article which I typically can’t find now was accompanied with a pic of him signing a contract at Rovers wearing a rovers training kit.

I’ve just read on Facebook that he’s signed for our academy after joining from Liverpool. He’s been tagged as the Irish Messi and was at Barca before joining Liverpool. Anyone else heard anything about him joining? He’s still only 15 so definitely one for the future but he was hyped up as some sort of Wonderkid a few years ago.

He’s scored 8 goals and had 5 assists in 10 games this season Mercer. How much more do you want out of him??

Delighted with the three points but I dont think the change to three at the back did us any favours as I said on here during the match. We’ve tried playing it before and it’s my view that it just doesn’t work for us. We started last season with it, lost the first two games and then we’re forced to switch back to a flat back 4. It’s a formation the players seem more comfortable with. I’m not a fan of changing formation mid way through a game unless something major changes and you are chasing a win. I don’t think yesterday needed a change as we were comfortable for the first 20 minutes. I would assume that the players trained on the basis of playing the formation that we started the game with hence why we maybe didn’t look as good after the change.

He tried it last season and it didn’t work. He clearly likes a three at the back formation and today there was no need to switch to it in my opinion. We’ve invited pressure ever since the change.

We got lucky again! Why do we invite so much late pressure

Been really poor since we moved to three at the back. Why do we persist with a formation that just doesn’t work for us.

Not like us to concede a late goal is it

After being in hospital for an ECG last week my old ticker certainly didn’t need that today!!!

Stoke penno

We’ve been outstanding so far. We do seem to be sitting back a bit at the moment understandably but it does invite pressure.

7 in 68 doesn’t sound out of the ordinary so maybe it’s just our perception that we concede a lot of late goals. Yesterday’s was a sickener, watched the game with friends and once we took the lead I said we would concede in the 93rd minute. Wish I’d put a few quid on it.

No Al. It wasn’t a reasonable point. That’s why I took issue with it. Players have a responsibility. It’s not just down to what they do in the shirt.

Danny Graham should be sent out with the job of bullying Jedinek. Villa fans don’t rate him at the back and he’s their weak spot. He’s also been playing Tunzabe who hasn’t been comfortable at full back. We need to attack them from the off. Reckon it could be a 3-2 game.

I think my first post on this forum came around 1998-99 so I’ve done well if I’ve managed to play a 20 year game!!

What game you clown! You just made a clear statement that players should be judged on what they do in the shirt and NOTHING else. I’m providing a different viewpoint and making you look silly (again). So can I confirm that your viewpoint isn’t as stated above and that it’s not just about what the players do in the shirt that counts (as Adam Johnson is a very good player obviously). You like to throw your opinion out as fact and can’t handle it when someone proves you wrong. My viewpoint is that players should be judged on the whole package. Missing 3 lots of community service doesn’t send out a great message. I would like to think that Tony has had a word and reminded him that he is our talisman and looked up to by thousands.

So you’ve not got an issue if we signed Adam Johnson then Chaddy?

I’d rather him be out having a few drinks the night before a game he wasn’t due to be involved in just before a 2 week international break then just before a big game. No problem with this at all.

No Fulham fan would agree with our views on Danny Murphy.

If it’s technically a loan until January does that mean he can’t play against Forest when we play them in September?
