I thought Dunk had his best game of the seasonPains me to say it, but I think Dunky looks a bit vulnerable this season. Wouldn't matter so much if Van Hecke was lightning quick but he's not.

We'll finish 6th and get to a final - you heard it here, first.I'm a pretty critical fan but no way am I thinking Rutter and Minteh are shit.
Minteh sets up two goals in 5 games. Class at Evrton and what a run at Arsenal. He's looked a little lost last two games/trying too hard and his touch is heavy but he will help us this year (away games more imo).
Rutter has to sort out his finishing but I thought he played well today and links the play really well. Always available.
Adringra was poor today as was Pervis first half.
We are going to have a good season (e.g. top 9 and far in a cup). The first 3 games had me hoping/dreaming of more.
Edited. Never critical of NSC but quite difficult to reply to a chat when using a mobile. Popups and ads everywhere.
Im totally with you on this nonsense offside thing. Was thinking that today. Must be difficult as a defender. Did the linesman not see it? Was he onside but I thought he was off? What happens if the defender gets a second yellow for a foul on an attacker that was clearly offside but not flagged at the time?There are flashes of real exciting football in all we do. Which is why some of the things that are not quite there yet are so frustrating. Passing for one, the number of passes to the opposition will really start hurting the deeper we go into the season, hopefully the more time they get together, the less that happens. Looking forward to Milner being back soon hopefully.
I'd like to see both the "no one had posession" penalty and the "scissor kick but he got the ball" yellow card and two reds again..something fishy there...
Someone explain to me again why they don't flag for offside immediately at the infraction, but wait for the team who caused the infraction to see if they can score? Not getting my head around that no matter who explains it...
Yep, and it does look as if Pervis has lost a couple of yards. I'm expecting to see Ferdi start soon... right or left.I agree. We have had Lamptey or Cuckoo in the past to give us that pace. I think Estupinan used to be quicker too. But without a fast defender it's an easy goal for the opposition.
I don't think he tried to injure him but he went in off the ground for the ball and wiped out the player.Fair dos, MGW ain’t a dirty player he’s wholehearted, I’d be astounded if he tried to do him, hope Joao isn’t too badly injured.
If Forest had timed their runs a little bit better we would have lost plain and simple. They have obviously worked on it during the week as per the smug look on their managers face. FH looked lost tbh his subs are to late I think we created one real chance second half just one. Similar story against Ipswich.Give over!
Yep. The lack of speed would be okay if they had better communication, IMO. Our back 4 looks disjointed when we have JPVH and Dunk together, for me.I don't the issue is that our centre backs aren't fast enough.
LOL. We’re a work hardly startedWe are Still very much a work in progress.
It is nonsense.Im totally with you on this nonsense offside thing. Was thinking that today. Must be difficult as a defender. Did the linesman not see it? Was he onside but I thought he was off?

I haven’t been able to watch today and have the game recorded to watch later. From years of NSC reading experience, I have a feeling that your opinion may be correct and the immediate post-final-whistle comments prove to be somewhat OTT.We weren't shit.
The speed is fine. They are 15 stone centre backs.Yep. The lack of speed would be okay if they had better communication, IMO. Our back 4 looks disjointed when we have JPVH and Dunk together, for me.
Hope it will get addressed, because once teams suss it as a weakness they will continue to look to exploit it.
They’ve already sussed it out. It’s just a case of them exploiting it more effectively, which will happen as the season progresses.Yep. The lack of speed would be okay if they had better communication, IMO. Our back 4 looks disjointed when we have JPVH and Dunk together, for me.

It was the first game Wieffer has not misplaced a pass comically, he’s showing some decent signs todayNot impressed with the new players, what a waste of Bloom’s money.

For me he has a Murray issue, looks too languid and slow to curry early favour. Doesn’t mean he won’t be effectiveMust say that £40m for Rutter looks like another Locadia signing. What actually does he do or offer us?
