Well deserved win. Excellent substitutions which changed the game and defence was solid. Fernandes had a great debut and Paqueta was everywhere. Wilson was more effective than Fullkrug. Hope we can now kick-on. May be 4-2-3-1 is the formation for us.
I still keep having this weird thought that tomorrow I'm going to get up, sipping my cuppa while opening the sports pages just to see that we got splonked 4-0
I think Fullkrug did alright, and gave their centre backs a good battle, but Wilson brought a lot more energy than I expected against some tiring defenders. I quite like the idea of Fullkrug battering people and Wilson coming in to run around a bit.
Completely delighted with a team performance that showed everything we hoped to see and so many performances which offer a hope that couldn't really be found after our opening matches.
Fernandes made a bright start after only two days with his new team mates Summerville looks like he is ready to hit the ground running (literally) now he is back Wilson looked far from a striker in a retirement home of a final contract Mavro came in with a good performance, and a new haircut Paqueta looks motivated and as though staying Bowen was Bowen again.
It's not a time for objectivity after the last couple of weeks but if being so we could say we were clearly second best for the whole of the first half but defended much better than previously. The four at the back worked today, maybe helped by all of Forest's homework being based upon our back three set up. In The second half we did get at them more and Bowen made a goal from nothing, after that the scoreline was a little like our losing one at Sunderland, in which it didn't really tell the story of the match as we were simply not that superior, but we'll take it.
Happy for Mads, a clean sheet after a rocky start in his first 2 games, but as a team, a very good all round performance ( including Mavropanos ) solid as a rock....
That was a superb team performance with all the ingredients of successful sides. The only negative, for me, was Füllkrug. I thought he was so careless with every aspect of his game & didn’t really do anything to support the other 10 players.
I didn’t see him as a negative, personally. I think he did a decent job of battling their CBs - particularly Murillo - but lead the line when they were on top.
Fernandes looks what we need in a pacey forward facing midfielder, he doesn't look as explosive as Kudus on first look but he looks to have potential for us. Summerville looked very threatening and again forward facing which is what we have been lacking.
