Have been with the family, if you go to the JSB zone under the family stand about 2pm there will be a bit for the lads to do and they can play fifa or meet the mascot etc. The family stand is quite empty and given it's the most empty stand you sort of think the ground is quite full from that...

Was expecting a bigger hike in prices and £345 while not cheap is very affordable for most fans especially with the finance option. Be great if we could surpass the 12k figure. With one or two shrewd investments on the playing side ACM and a extremely fast on the shoulder forward (like the lad...

Boddy used the word football at a bargain price in the press. If it works out as more than £20 a game will put many off and result in more opting for match packages and being more selective.

Agreed in principal, but players past is no guarantee of them having the attributes to be a success in our team and a good fit for how we play. Players also have peak years and as they get older don't suit some ways of playing. High tempo high press for example. LWB we need one with pace...

Let us know what he says!! It's starting to sound as cringeworthy as the superlatives Badlan used to describe Kastaneer.

He severely lacks physical dynamism and his crossing is not great. If he is on backup wages then I get it but if he is a top earner it's costly miss for the recruitment team.

That is the problem procdoc we have one way of playing. Against a few teams in this league esp away it's not adequate.

Robins wedded to 5 at the back. We needed to go 442 today. Either arrogant or delusional to think can impose our style on every team.

Could well be right with that assessment. I suspect however we might have played better with all right footed players in the team!!

The lad did not due hugely well at Birmingham and it's probably fair to say he is playing his best football in a while under Robins. Hope that counts for something to him.

I agree with that. My point was after playing well vs average opponents, why was he then flavour of the month and getting minutes further up the pitch?

What puzzles me is how he excelled vs Peterborough and Derby at LWB and then a of a sudden after impressing in a wing back role all of a sudden out of the bomb squad and playing in a position he has repeated looked off the pace in for a couple of years, attacking midfielder!

That is shockingly bad too. Sadly for some reason we seem to have a bit of a habit for signing forward players who struggle to score goals very often!!

Old sky blue thanks for the great analysis. I think we need to see the accounts of 2 or 3 other clubs to really decide how bad a state were acutally in. The 2 million interest felt a bit steep.

Who identified him as a buy? Last season we were desperately short on goals so to rectify that we spent a huge chunk of the recruitment budget on a player with a 1 in 4 strike rate at Derby and the season before we signed him it was 1 in 6!! This season he is 1 in 20, the poorest conversion rate...

I think with his pace he could be a great option later in games. I can only assume his touch and link up play might be his weakest area as his pace and finishing look good. Has anyone on here honestly seen him play 90 mins for the u23 a few times and could comment on his all round ability.

Seems fair enough. Some on here want heavier sanctions than that for playing the fool with no malice.

A bit too reactionary for me. How many Leicester games have been moved to 1230 as a result of a fan assaulting a player at Forest? We are on the same side in thinking the invaders are total idiots and there needs to be a strong response I.e. a few years ban and a heavy fine in the thousands of...

Lifetime ban!?! Bit totalitarian. £2000 fine and a few years ban would seem more proportionate.

I would agree his crossing has been poor. I also think he has been figured out by opposing managers and defenders. They show him wide and make it hard for him to cross. He needs to mix it up far more with underlapping runs and cutting inside when defenders think he is predictably going to go on...
