Match Thread Notts Forest 0-1 Everton. Sat 12th april. 3pm

This is why if we get recruitment right this summer we can make a dent in them European placements.

The league is absolute tripe.

Utter rubbish, if they're in third.

I still take an away draw and ask politely for another. No paddle necessary.

 

[Blue Roo]

Patterson, alcaraz, chermiti, Beto iroegbunam and a half fit McNeil should be starting ahead of Harrison and doucure.

Could add moving Jake up to replace Harrison.

 

[Saint Domingo]

McNeil and Alcaraz on please

 

[Zatara]

Its a joke. If Forest is good enough be third the whole league is not very good. To say the least!

To be fair to Moyes he's set the team up tactically to take away Forests counter attacking strength.

Elanga and Danilo come on though and we could be in trouble.

Moyes has to roll the dice.

 

[TheBigIguana]

McNeil and Alcaraz on please

I’d rather have Harrison than McNeil if he’s going to put McNeil wide on the left

 

[preposterousvelios]

Nah not harsh to drop your striker after five games without scoring. I'm absolutely fine with that.

He might do better here at the end of the match anyway.

Yeah that's completely fair. I think he's been unlucky to not score a few in that time and causes a lot of chaos regardless, but as you say 5 games with no goal for a striker he can't reasonably have too much complaints at being dropped

I long for the day we can go for decent footballers over willing runners.

“But it will not be this day”

 

[ValBlue]

McNeil looked decent when he played in the number 10 role. For a half, surely he’s a better shout than Doucoure in that position. Come on man. Tim, Alcaraz…anyone else please

 

[matty1878]

McNeil and Alcaraz on please

just for one of harrison or beto?

so we can have 11 men

 

[Dwight K Schrute]

Honestly with the fact we're basically playing with 9 players on attack with Doucoure and Harrison it's been a good performance.

Doucoure though wow, feel like every week it's the same "can't wait to never see him play again"

Pretty certain there will be an offer on the table from Moyes. The only thing that might save us would be of it's on lesser terms - which it will be - Doucoure might not accept.

Moyes would not be playing him every week and praising him all the time if he did not want to keep him.

 

[Frenk]

Beto, Beto, Beto

@formerly manx toffee don’t you scowl at me you manky toffee.

Moyes has to roll the dice.

He ain't stupid.

He's also about as likely to roll the bones as the ex.

 

[matty1878]

alcatraz can win us this point

we need his skills with ndyie

 

[Woolverhampton_Blue]

Personally I would switch Harrison and Ndiaye and tell them to put quicker balls into the box. Doucouré off for Alcaraz so we have better distribution from the middle. We haven’t played that badly, but there is far too little attacking threat for the amount of possession we’re getting.

Without sounding cynical if we come away from here with a point while the game is being officiated by Craig Lawson,we've done a hell of a job.
