OntarioFox Posted 6 August 2022 Share Posted 6 August 2022 As a point, I'm actually kinda glad Forest didn't get absolutely battered. It's one of those on-paper results where they can kid themselves and hopefully sleepwalk into a crisis, rather than getting a wake-up call to up their game now they're amongst the big boys. Bournemouth and Fulham both looked hungry and ready to fight for their place by comparison, and were suitably rewarded today against opposition that woefully underestimated them. The Cherries were a particular surprise, given they've had a crisis summer themselves. In a way, it makes me more optimistic for our own chances, so long as our boys have a little fire in our bellies after the transfer saga siege.

Nalis Posted 6 August 2022 Share Posted 6 August 2022 Bournemouth are one of those teams you'll barely know exist in the premier league until we play them but will somehow stay up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The notable thing was how disorganised they were which will improve but I'm not sure it'll be enough, it didn't look like they've targeted the right type of players to me, they wouldn't go wrong with some of our fringe players imo, especially Hamza Always the most humbling thing when ambitious newly promoted sides come up is the defeats to nil against mid-table sides. Those are the games you’re thinking you can target and then you get beaten to nil without ever threatening. For us I think back to that spell in October/November 2014 where we lost 2-0 to Swansea, Palace and Southampton without really making an impression on the game and then over the winter we lost 1-0 at home to West Brom, Palace and Stoke. It was very dispiriting. ”Premier League experience” is a bit of a cliche but down the bottom end of the table it can make a difference. We only started to thrive when Huth and Albrighton came into the side. Forest have very little of it. The only thing which makes me think they might stay up is the mid-season break for the World Cup. They won’t have many players there and will get a chance to take stock and work on surprising teams in the second half of the season. Also gives them a second pre-season with all their new players and a chance to gel them on the training ground without the relentless schedule which precedes the World Cup.

Eskay Posted 6 August 2022 Share Posted 6 August 2022 The 5 subs is possibly the most top 6 favouring introduction ever made. Have a look at who spurs brought on compared to Southampton today. Even Liverpools 4 subs are so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bear Posted 6 August 2022 Share Posted 6 August 2022 (edited) Forest will undoubtedly improve. For a club that has been out of the PL for so long, with multiple new faces to incorporate into the team, and a tricky away game to start their campaign, they were always going to struggle a bit early on. If they can get to Christmas still in touch of safety and keep improving steadily they may just stay up. It'll be a tough ask but the way Cooper turned the team around after taking over has to give them some optimism at least.

I think what might screw Forest over is if a team like Everton, West Ham or even you guys are struggling Cooper could be nabbed as those clubs are a greater draw than Forest as this moment in time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Col city fan Posted 6 August 2022 Share Posted 6 August 2022 It’s almost beyond comprehension that having spent the money Everton have under the current owners, they have a team that contains players like Dele Alli, Iwobi and Demari Gray. They are so going to miss Richarlison, their best player by miles and I’d have no surprise to see this lot relegated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot easier to find some momentum in the Championship though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

urban.spaceman Posted 6 August 2022 Share Posted 6 August 2022 We need Chelsea to keep a clean sheet so that they don't need Fofana plus we need Everton to concede more so that they absolutely do need Vestergaard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sampson Posted 6 August 2022 Share Posted 6 August 2022 Shouldn’t that be a red? Pickford wasn’t in goal and if Pulasic hadn’t been pulled back it was surely a clear goal scoring opportunity? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
