We were lucky!

[Muzzy]

In a play off spot playing tripe.... f*** knows where we'll finish if things come together?

Crap game, good result. I think anyone who pays to watch their team has the right to moan all they want, providing there is good reason. I cant stand fans who cant bring themselves to criticise their clubs, f***ing sad. No pies again in west lower, sort it out.

We were poor but can only beat what is front of you, if we had played a better team I would like to think we would have played better

 

[BHAFC_Pandapops]

Ah, I assumed he'd had a good game (listening on the radio).
It's not so much complaining as observing and being honest that we didn't deserve the win today.

why does casper wait so bloody long with the ball??

Anyone who thinks Paynter is shit etc, obviously wasn't watching the game or understood his role. He had a great first half but ran out of steam in the second. Suggest if you do not understand football you stick to watching something else or shut up.

Lucky win but that is what it's about, we didn't cope with their big defenders but on another day we would have got more from the ref. great goal though!

 

[upthealbion1970]

We were lucky, very lucky but the harder you work the better luck you get. IMO paynter is improving and we have won more than we have lost with him in the side. We've played better and got beat but tha fubol for you

Anyone is entitled to an opinion mate. I think Paynter was not crap but had some good touches. To be honest though he is not quite mobile enough for my liking and did not win enough in the air.

Buckley is our best player and should start every game if fit imho ,Dont see why we cant play 4-4-2 at home with Buckley wide with either Lua Lua or Noone on the other wing on our wide pitch and let the oppsition worry about us .

 

[Brimmermusic]

Seriously what is Paynter good for? Send him back to Leeds ASAP.

I felt sorry for CMS, running around like a headless chicken again, no link between him, the midfield or Paynter.

I was ecstatic with the result but anyone who thinks we deserved even a draw has not got a clue.

BBC says we have 2 shots to Forests 11.

hmmm.... I think he had a good first half, but he really does need to win more in the air than he does. Seems to be playing quite deep as well.

Also played an important role in the goal.

That said, it's harsh that when he makes a couple of minor mistakes he gets crucified. If Noone makes a mistake he's usually forgiven.

Highlights for me were El Loco (Reyes), KLL and Buckley.

I made a point of watching paynter for 5-10 minutes today, and I still think he's shit. Mabye he's been told to hold the centre of the pitch because that's what he does, but he needs to be more busy for me to rate him.

He can't get away with just a couple of good touches and a couple of good runs in 90 minutes of football. CMS and Noone probably had 20 good runs and touches each, on a different planet to Paynter.

As for the game, it was total shit. Both teams cancelled each other out in the first, they were better in the 2nd but we managed to fight hard and not concede, then mug them at the end.

I'm happy to take the 3 points and run

Good post.

Paynter's best game for us so far. In the first half he held the ball well and laid it off nicely. Most of the crap spouted on here about him must be from people who have never played football, or were crap when they did.

Yes we were lucky, but good teams play shit and win. You could say that West Ham and leeds did the same.

Yep.

 

[LamieRobertson]

draw would have been fair...but it was just one of those games....thats football.

 

[LamieRobertson]

This!

billy..i think u summed it up nicely......there was a forest fan on radio 5 who felt they dominated the game...i think not...neither side did..but i would have felt hard done by if i was a forest supporter

 

[GoldWithFalmer]

Sign of a good team? you know playing poorly and grinding out results-

KEEP EM COMING-

 

[Acker79]

Crap game, good result. I think anyone who pays to watch their team has the right to moan all they want, providing there is good reason.

"Providing there is good reason", fine. But there's a "Brighton fan" behind me who complains about half the team regardless of their performance - including taking digs at the likes of hoskins and buckley while they are warming up, complains about the way we play whatever we do (if we retain possession at the back he complains we're not getting forward, if we move it forward he complains it's not fast enough or that we should be using a different route, if we move it forward and lose it he complains about not retaining possession. If we dive in he complains about selling ourselves, if we stand off and try to stay on our feet force them wide or back he complains that we're not getting stuck in). He even manages to complain about them while begrudgingly acknowledging they've done something good (paynter getting back to defend at times, couple of good headers, a penetrating run). It is starting to really irritate me, and I'm not sure how much longer I can keep telling myself "he's paid to watch the team, he has a right to moan".
