Match Thread Notts Forest 0-2 Everton. Tue Dec 30th. 7.30 pm

[Tylard]

Have ye all come down from the excitement of yesterday. What a game that was. Edge of the seat stuff. Are you ready for more.
This one may not be a whole pile better as we travel to take on our old gaffer Sean Dyche and his Forest side who we stuffed 3.0 just a few weeks ago.
Problem is the players who made that happen wont be available!
Jack maybe back from illness but after that it doesn't appear we will be any stronger.
Injuries and Afcon have deflated us a bit.
But the show must go on. Keep a clean sheet and see what happens .
Nice to do the double over these tory scabs though wouldn't it. Horrible lot.

Aged beautifully!!!!

Garner, Iroegbunam and Tarkowski outstanding. Garner MOTM.

Patterson very poor particularly in defensive 1v1’s versus Hudson-Odoi and worryingly, even Röhl looked better than him when moved there! Needs shifting on ASAP with a proper RB brought in.

Delighted for Barry getting his goal; lots of his control and shorter passes were subpar but he kept plugging away and happy for him to score again. Weirdly likeable fella somehow!

Brilliant result considering the circumstances.

 

[Lineker]

Went with Garner Motm like most, but up until the move and pass for Barry's goal, was going to go with iroegbunum despite garner goal. Thought he was excellent.

Delighted to be completely wrong on this one. Good solid defensive display apart from couple of occasions and a couple of well taken goals. Nice to outscore the xg for a change. Hopefully helps convince the owners to get a new right back and striker in for January 1st.

 

[Gwladys St. Glory]

I was worried about that one. Especially with 6 first choice players out.

You had every right to be worried TBH but they pulled one out, good to see. Are we CL quality? Hell no. I'm not even comfident saying European quality right now...need to see more grit and consistency ATM.

Forest reminded me of us under Dyche.

He should have that squad moving up the table.

Players become void of ideas under him.

He talks in buzz words and double speak,he's excellent telling the world exactly what his players should be doing but he can't actually implement it.

 

[Cels]

Great to get back to winning ways and also keep a clean sheet. James Garner was MotM for me.

What did he say? Wanna see his interview haha

If forest had won 1 nil it'd be a dominant performance

He comes across as a strange bloke at times, like something out of a Monty Python or Chris Morris sketch. A sort of internal and external battle between arrogance and insecurity.

I just worry about Tim’s game time decreasing once KDH is back. It’s already crowded and Armstrong will be added to the mix, too. The other side of it is that competition for the position makes us better.

all 3 hopefully, with garner as a 6 preferably and tim and kdh as 8s in a midfield 3

gana and rohl as legs off the bench

That was a great win last night with two really well worked goals. I thought we looked really solid with O`Brien in his natural central position and Dibling played well too, but Garner had a super game and was my man of the match. Hope for more of the same next week with three home games in a row.

Hes very limited as a manager...they have a pretty strong squad but they were so predictable today...after the 40th cross, maybe try something different? So glad he is there..yes he helped us stay up but jeez did he suck the joy out of the game and the players!

For my sins i listened to dyche post match analysis. My God its like a terrible broken record. He even got in about changing the mentality of the forest players because it was like it before he arrived.
He's one of them that when you first listen to him he sounds enthusiastic and what he's saying sounds pretty good. But over time it dawns on you he just regurgitates the same waffle over and over and you pick up on the deflection of blame away from himself. He's very good at it as well because he's quite subtle about it. He'll say he should have done better for about 3 seconds and then blame everyone else past and present for the next 3 minutes.
Loves himself.
Thank fk we've played them twice now. No longer interested.

I had to give it to Jimmy G after the second goal but Tim pushed him as close as it gets ,a mention to for Jake I thought he was a rock and Patterson after so long out he started a bit weak but certainly grew into the game against real wingers .
As others have said it is so nice Dyche has moved on as we can all see the traits starting for them .
A far better result and performance than I expected .
