I think every game we’ve played we’ve conceded on the break or seriously ridden our luck from break attempts (Arsenal and Utd missed howlers). Forest really should have won that at the end from another and even Wolves launched wave after wave last our high press Wednesday.

It’s going to cost us a lot more points unless FB works out how to tighten it up.

I thought we were outstanding today, except for defence against the one or two pass breaks. Crying out for pace at the back or at DM. Gilmour had none.

Wieffer will eventually be providing that quality.

In fairness, I like Gilmour.

But that was a rare high duel success game for him. United should have walked all over Milner and him. Shows how bad United are. Gilmour win less than half (46%) of his duels last season.

Next signing needs to be a pacy CB.
I like the look of Weiffer. He's got the skill set to play DCM, but he's slow too. We need some real pace in that central defensive three (2xCBs + DCM).

You could potentially drop Baleba back there, and then if he pushes on, have Wieffer slot in on those occasions.

Oh I don’t think so , he was no quicker than our CB , and not very strong in the tackle ,
this Is why was surprised when he took Beleba off , only midfield player with pace

Interesting, I thought we were terrible, pedestrian and clueless. I sometimes think a team matches the managers energy and FH just sits there doing FA.
Forest didn’t care we had possession they literally waited for a mistake and pounced it worked.

Creatively, patience, we’re immense.

Vulnerability to the counter, I’m talking players clean through, bloody awful. Lose the ball anywhere in the opposition half and teams are creating one on ones seconds later.

I love Velts, but Velts/JPVH/Dunk together are being run past for fun.

A penny for Hurzeler’s thoughts on that.

Absolutely this. If we don't have the personnel with pace it really is down to a tactical rethink. That combination works in other ways but our ' kryptonite' has been spotted early by us fans and critically the opposition.

So basically he couldn’t win then could he? Plays superbly and it’s because Manure are crap.

When he played well for Scotland or us wasn’t it as allrounder, with a neat passing game?

In defence to the counter, he was another one opponents breezed past.

I sometimes think I'm too harsh in thinking you're absolutely clueless.

Luckily you always come along with an awful opinion to prove me right.

If the Ipswich game had resulted in a win, most people would be ecstatic with 11 points from 15. City are on 13 points.

Ipswich is the only disappointing result out of all 7 games this season.

He's an inexperienced manager and it's a young squad outside of 5/6 players. Steele, Dunk, Veltman, Milner, March and Welbeck are the only players aged 30 or older.

Only 3 of them (Dunk, Veltman, Welbeck) are potential regular starters

Most of the squad are 19-26 years old.

I think the point that most people miss is that Forest are excellent away from home. They've won their last four and tactically set up really well today.

Yes, we should have won, and, yes, were were caught on the break, but to me it was a case of two fairly well matched teams neutralising each other.

Lack of defensive pace noted elsewhere.

The Baleba substitution was pretty much forced by him being on a yellow for so long. He probably wouldn’t have been able to make any saving tackles anyway because of the risk of dismissal. With a ready made replacement like Wieffer on the bench, it made sense.
