The way we conceded 2 goals implied a tactical switch. Amorim did well to respond and adjust his formation to the point of nearly snatching a victory from the jaws of defeat.

 

[croadyman]

Back down to reality. Still carrying too many average/poor players.

Dalot absolutely toilet, get him out in January

 

[RedDevil@84]

My Dalot always plays is just nonsense

 

[croadyman]

These players need to play with more urgency. Mount should’ve come on towards the end. Fair result.

Presume he wasn't fit enough typically

 

[Isotope]

My Dalot always plays is just nonsense

Our 3 straight wins happened with Dalot as LWB starters. Fun fact is, he's started as LWB in 5 PL games, result in 4 wins and 1 draw.

And "My Dorgu always plays" isn't a good idea either. After that Brighton cameo, it would be stupid to start Dorgu. So what would you choose?

 

[croadyman]

Plays because of managerial favouritism, joke

 

[Oranges038]

I think the 1-0 at half time flattered Utd a bit, Forest were the better team in the first half, once Luiz went off. Yates is horrible fecker, but he added more resilience to their midfield. They got away with a lot of sneaky fouls in the middle to break up counters and attacks.

Came out asleep at the start of the second half and let them get two cheap goals. They just targeted the left channel as a weak spot and got rewarded for it.

Disappointed to see rather subdued performance from a lot of the players, Cunha, Sesko & Mbuemo were very poor. Casemiro was the biggest goal threat, thought he had a good game overall.

I think waiting a week for a game when you're on a good run lets the momentum die a little bit and it felt like that yesterday. Somewhat paying the price for getting knocked out of the league cup, a mid-week cup game would have kept their heads in it.

I'm not enamoured with Dorgu either, but at least there's potential upside there. He's still young, he could still get better.

 

[1988]

Remember to give Dyche credit for making our attack look average. He did really well to setup them up to shut down our strenghts these last couple of wins. It wasn't just because our front had a bad day.

 

[Alemar]

We could have scored one more goal - when Bruno long shot hit the post and then Casemiro missed by centimeters from the rebound

 

[justsomebloke]

Nonsense. He plays because we lack a better option.

 

[justsomebloke]

Yes, but that is not a good enough reason to start him every game.

 

[GaryLifo]

We're having a half decent season at the moment. Go and beat a very mediocre Spurs on Saturday and we're well in the mix. Even a draw against spurs shouldn't be seen as a disaster.

We need to get to January either just about inside the top 5 or within 3-5 points of that. Hopefully they invest in a DM (Anderson yes please) and then we make a strong push to get back into Europe, ideally in the top 5.

A strong and deep cup run would also be great.

Where exactly? I don't see what you are referring to.

 

[justsomebloke]

They don't all switch off though, but all it takes is one or two to drop off and you see what happens. Fresh legs up front was required but Ruben changes defenders. Dorgu for Dalot is almost a given. Zirkzee or Mount on for the last half hour and we might have nicked it. Anyway, a point away from home to a team enjoying a new manager bounce is all right. At least we didn't lose whereas last season we would have. I'm still not 100% convinced about Ruben but he's getting the season at least so we'll have to see, but he still manages like a man with a knife prodding his back.

A point against the second-worst team in the league who hasn't won a game since opening week is "okay"? Don't see how this is anything other than a very disappointing result. The performance didn't merit anything more either.

We're way too open at the back, which is going to keep hurting us with results like this. Always the same problem - wide open flanks.

 

[OverratedOpinion]

My Dalot always plays is just nonsense

If we had a really good option waiting in the wings then this would be worth getting annoyed about. Dorgu has been poor recently too and we have been winning games with Dalot.

I imagine Dorgu will come in now as he was decent when he came on and no one has truly claimed that spot.

 

[Orange Tree]

That was a reality check. We are not good enough to win 4 in a bounce. When the forward line was poor, we had no one to come in and do the job.

That said, the defending for both goals are comical. The whole team was poor.

 

[groovyalbert]

Didn't watch but not a terrible result given it was Dyche's first home game/they were always going to absolutely gun for it. Good to see us fight back and looks like we could have won it at the end. On to the next one.

Conceding two goals against a Dyche team that is second last in the league? If that's not a terrible result, what is?

 

[killerboi2]

What a finish from Amad. Our goal of the season probably wrapped up. Should be a contender of overall goal of the season as well.

 

[TheReligion]

It was always going to be a tougher game as Dyche will stabilise this Forest team which is much more suited to him than Ange. They will be much tougher to play against, especially at home.

United had an off day front and back (more disappointment with the forwards personally) but still hit the post and had the chance hacked off the line at the end. Could have won it despite the lack luster display.

Annoying not to take another 3 points as I think if one of Sesko, Mbuemo, Cunha puts a performance on we win but these things happen. It’s where we are currently.

 

[Nobby style]

What, you think Zirkzee would have improved things?

Erm yeah, mebbe. Sesko was doing fook all really, and though Zirkzee hasn’t shown much this year (hasn’t really played), we’ve all seen what he’s capable of. Point is, something needed to be moved around in our attack yesterday near the end, and Amorim just brought on Mazza and Dorgu

If a caftard takes a dump during the match and win the match, it doesn’t mean that that caftard taking a dump helped us win the match.

Truth is, Dalot has been dire this season and was dire again yesterday. Just watch the second Forest goal again and key in on Dalot.

We’ve got a problem at LWB, but unfortunately Dorgu isn’t the answer either.

The result was fair, their graft matching up well to our guile, but we gave this game away with horror defending on the second Forest and the main culprit was Dalot.

That's a silly take. As taking a dump isn't related in whatsoever to the game. While Dalot was on the starting XI. If you watch the 2nd goal, yes Dalot was sleeping. But so did de Ligt and Yoro who failed to deal with one Forest player for the header. They both were weak with the high ball. And yes, Dalot isn't the answer for a LWB, but there's a strong reason to start him over Dorgu. WHo else would you start then?

Or are you one of those people that think Dalot was prefered because he's Portuguese?

 

[Maticmaker]

Given our last few results against Forest, a draw wasn't a bad result.
Those few minutes after half time, were terrible, it's as though we were still sucking on the h/t oranges or pulling our socks up. Dyche's energy display on the touchline carried on to the pitch and it galvanised his team.

It was like we were taking a breather after the last 3 victories and they were playing for their lives (careers) at Forest.

Some of Bruno's passes were spectacular, and much more should have been made of them. Our three new boys were not up to scratch, and maybe against a Dyche team Harry Maguire should have started?

Still against decent opposition, we have taken 10 points out a possible 12... things are getting better!

 

[sunama]

Conceding two goals against a Dyche team that is second last in the league? If that's not a terrible result, what is?

I agree with you.
But standards amongst fans are now so low.
I'm sure some believe that if we finish the league, just above the relegation zone, we'd have done a good job. These people will also say that because you call out the players/manager, you are not a real fan.
The truth is that Amorim is lucky he is still in a job. The vast majority of clubs would've sacked him over the Summer.
Personally, I think Amorim is a manager who can take us and keep us around 10th place - that's his limit.

We were lucky to come away with anything as the performance was awful overall, Forest had'nt scored in over 8 hours of Premier League football before we gifted them 2 goals yesterday

 

[croadyman]

Exactly, lack of concentration needs to be drilled out of these players heads whatever method it takes

 

[Herschel Krustofsky]

See a lot of this.

What are your standards and how do they apply to the current team?

 

[BorisManUtd]

Decent first half. Dyche definitely did great things at HT as they scored 2 so early in 2nd half. We weren't good in that 2nd half and again we saw difference between our home and away performances. But a positive is we also adapted and think improved from 70th minute or so and even nearly won the game in the end. Murillo making exactly the same clearance as last season in same stadium, same goal and same spot....

Think not bringing Mount on for Šeško at some point was a mistake, Šeško had better games than yesterday. Poor cameo from Mazraoui but he hasn't played for some time.

Not great but it's not a terrible result either. Defeat avoided and if you put it in context and say we won 10 out of 12 points in last 4, that's good. But we'll need a better 90 minute performance at Spurs if we want to get a result there.

 

[justsomebloke]

Don't think we even gifted them, in the sense that they were mistakes. It's more the worrying amount of chances we expose ourselves to with our openness on the flanks.

 

[groovyalbert]

Conceding two goals against a Dyche team that is second last in the league? If that's not a terrible result, what is?

I mean, Dyche is not the reason they are 2nd bottom - better teams than us will drop points at Forest now he's in charge. I also think most teams are capable of scoring twice in most games they'll play. A draw at Forest is an improvement on our past few visits there. Frustrating but probably reflective of where we are currently.

 

[Denis' cuff]

No, the reason I mention Dyche is that his teams are notoriously low-scoring. And Forest is not the team they were last season.

 

[groovyalbert]

No, the reason I mention Dyche is that his teams are notoriously low-scoring. And Forest is not the team they were last season.

Maybe so although I fully expect Forest to massively improve under Dyche. I just think a draw away to most clubs in the league is an expected result given our level right now - bar throwing away big leads.

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Conceding two goals against a Dyche team that is second last in the league? If that's not a terrible result, what is?

The result was a draw. It’s exactly as terrible as a nil all. So the fact we conceded two is irrelevant to whether it’s a good, bad or terrible result.

In my opinion it’s definitely not a good result but it also definitely not terrible in the context of this Forest side having pedigree at being hard to beat under the right manager, a new manager bounce and the identity of their new manager.

 

[George The Best]

Disappointed at the result but always knew it would be tough. Dyche has them so much better organised than the Ange-ball system. Wish we played them before Ange was fired. On the more worrying side, for me, we seemed to lack the energy and dynamism of our last few games - plus Sesko is not the answer yet. He held the ball up well at times but didn’t offer much more than that. A lot of other teams will struggle away at Forest now under Dyche, as they have some really useful players.

Yes, but we need all hands on deck for that. As i have mentioned previously, our subs will define our season.

We just must, have to buy two midfielders, or grab one on loan... we need a spark, someone to come in, add some personality and make an impact. Hope we can sort that.
