That's got to be one of the dumbest second bookings I've seen. How did he think he was getting away with that?

Haven't seen it, but it sounds very Hameresque, and also displays a lack of discipline, like Palmer's booking yesterday.

Can't see fester Forest staying 0 0

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Forest getting carved open at will

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Forest seem to have spent a fortune but not improved the defence much, where is Toffolo that they signed from Huddersfield he always looked a good player to me.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Pretty fortunate deflection to take them a goal up but deserved on the balance of play

 

[thekidfromstrettoncamp]

Told you so. More to come i think.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Beautiful goal from Barnes

 

[TomRad85]

Imagine spending all that money and looking near certainties for relegation already.

In that starting XI tonight only Johnson and Cook were there last season.

I'm sure I read that they spent more money in the summer than the entire Bundesliga. Quite impressive to look so utterly shite despite that.

How the fk is Maddison not in the England squad, the kid is terrific

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Wasted at that side in dark blue Maddison.

You can see why Southgate doesn’t pick him passes forwards and takes risks.

It's probably more because of than despite of. They've signed an entire 25 man squad that's never met before.

As I write that Maddison scores another cracker. How on Earth Southgate continues to ignore him I've no idea

 

[thekidfromstrettoncamp]

Hope your watching Mr Southgate. Said the same last week when they played Spurs.

Southgate not picking maddison is starting to look worse every day

Very true , far too inventive for Mr dull , he's been head and shoulders the best player on the pitch , again

Wasted a fortune on Gibbs White when they needed more quality at the back.

I hope they don’t sack Cooper he seems a really good coach

 

[Tommo1993]

It’s sort of nauseating that he’s not selected. I honestly don’t know what else he could do.

Lose form and not get picked works for Maguire, Shaw and even Mount at times this season.

Form and ability aside, I don't think Southgate's moved on from the whole Casino thing, honestly.

My thoughts on Southgate are well documented. (They aren't positive.)

lmagine an attack of Maddison, Foden, Grealish, Sterling and Kane , other countries would find a way to fetch them all in but Southgate has to play 7 defenders and a keeper

He's just sat there hoping that Henderson has another 20 years in him

 

[no_loyalty]

I thought Forest would do well with the quality they brought in, but they are awful.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Maddison second only to Haaland in joint goals/assists

Just saw that, impressive but why did they pick "Since May 11th"? If I was a cynic I'd say it's a classic case of trying to fit a narrative.

Not particularly bothered by that. The main point is Maddison needs to be at a better club and in contention for England

Don't think there's any doubt he deserves to be in the England squad, just can't see how he'd ever fit into a Southgate England team though.

Rodgers has just said it's baffling that he isn't even in the squad. Southgate ignoring him is just one of many reasons he shouldn't be in the job

On your second point, it's definitely a massive klaxon to his credibility that Maddison isn't being included.

He's scored twice tonight and been a menace, but the above was still just as valid before the game even started.

Basically everyone except Southgate thinks Maddison should be in the squad. As is being said at the moment on Sky Southgate just seems to have his favourites who play for a narrow range of clubs.

Think about some of those who'll be guaranteed places regardless of how they play and think about him being left out despite being in the form of his life. Then think about struggling to break down Iran/USA/Wales while Henderson is being carted out

Which may suggest he’s a prick with an ego.

The product of a test tube and the DNA of all time legends of football? And Drago off of Rocky 4.

And Draco Malfoy from Harry Potter.

 

[Liquid Gold]

I think he takes something not dissimilar to the following. Who drops out for Maddison?

World Cup: England squad for Qatar voted by Sky Sports writers | Harry Maguire out of XI, Jude Bellingham starts

Sky Sports writers votes combined to assemble England squad for World Cup in Qatar; players listed in rank order, with Harry Maguire losing starting berth and Jude Bellingham replacing Kalvin Phillips as regular partner with Declan Rice in midfield; what happens if Harry Kane is injured?

www.skysports.com

I don't see him not taking Henderson because of simple leadership although most would probably agree he's past it so an obvious drop out, although you're leaving yourself further exposed in defensive minded players for attackers.

He's definitely not going to take him.

Edit: Just realised I haven't included Mount who will definitely be on the plane either.

Talksport saying Forest are parting with Cooper.
