OK, looking back on reflection, we weren't utter rubbish, but we were pretty poor. For the home side to have hardly a decent shot on goal. Yes, the creativity was lacking and has been all season. I actually didn't think Forest were that good a team. We gifted them the goal (what the hell were we playing at) and they simply has to defend well against a team who have no idea what to do with the ball past the half way line.
But, apart from tactics, formations and play positions, I didn't see any hunger at all. The players didn't seem bothered. They should be fired up for a game like this. There was no fire in the belly. Just nothing really..
When we were a goal down, I honestly couldnt see a way back at all. And as has been said, Little threw his cards down early, so late on in the game, all he could do in terms of fresh legs was to bring Tremarco on. Ohh dear..
Notably good performance from Goodison, but he was an exception. Wilson just doesnt give me any confidence at all. Gave the opposition the ball early on from which they should have scored. In the second half, came running out of goal like a lunatic, caught short, but again, let off by bad finishing. Then late on, couldnt catch a simple shot and had to punch it out for a corner! What was he doing?!? All negatives for me and can't remember a good thing he did to be honest.
Every one else was poor. Midfield especially. Where were they? McAteer didn't make a difference today, which I was disappointed aboutl Jennings was awful and O'Leary wasn't far behind. I'd much rather have Harrison on than Jennings.
Greenacre was quiet without much service and Facey, just the usual Facey really. Slow, half hearted.. I think we missed Zola a lot today.
So the usual poor performance really which neatly sums up our season.
I'm still worried about the next few games, but Brian's given me hope after his post match comments.. "we want to stay in this division" so now I can sit back and relax. :roll:
