Saint NL

I thought the 'false number 9' was a maverick move. But the 'false front three' is a real big balls move.

So the tactic was to have BBD and Armstrong playing really wide, to create space for Smallbone and Aribo to ghost into the box? That's our attacking plan? Someone tell me I'm imagining it because it can't be real.

65% possession and around twice as many completed passes, yet we had approximately zero threat.

It's great to be back in the Premier league, eh? Big changes needed, either personnel or formation but if we play the whole season like that, we're going to set a few records...

Edozie is so wasteful. I appreciate his defensive work, but his final ball is shocking

6 mins injury time and at least 1.5 mins taken up by fake injuries and subs

How did we end up with Dibling and Fernandes over that freekick? Two youngsters stepping up, where are the senior players? Real lack of leadership on the pitch today

That's a shocker from the ref

Edozie FFS 😂

We're going to get one big chance, not sure there's anyone in a saints shirt I'd fancy to score it though

Edozie cant be the best we have, surely? He's actually got worse

Promising signs from Archer so far

Bijlow is currently punching himself in the hamstring

Four at the back and archer up front?

Awful stuff, so many chances to clear and none taken.

Forest look a bit rattled here, need to take advantage

Much better stuff now

Shocking corner 😔

Much better since half time tbf

What does Russ see what we don't? No changes? If the subs aren't ready then they shouldn't be on the bench

We are lucky to get in at 0-0. Let's see what Russ can do to try and salvage something. I doubt we're even winning the possession which is bound to infuriate him. Lets see what the new guys can do. Smallbone has been poor and Aribo hasn't been involved.

Armstrong is like a rabbit in the headlights.

If we can make it to half time at 0-0 and Russ doesn't change things then we are in deep trouble this season

Remember when we all wondered why we bought Fernandes when we really needed a striker? Well that's why 😂

If Forest were smart, they'd pay the 15m for KWP and that'll be us relegated. Good investment to remove one relegation spot
