Thoroughly enjoyed the evening. I thought we started very composed and whilst they looked dangerous on the attack, our defence coped well. Then Forest got into the game and had a spell where we looked a bit jittery at the back though they never really looked like scoring.

Second half, we played with confidence and a little flare whilst Forest seemed to lose theirs. I thought every player across the pitch played well and thought Bodin did well both halves.

Gally looked assured and the defence resolute.
A lot of flare, skill, pace and desire.

Well done lads!
 
On Radio Lancs the Co commentator has said that Bodin and Moult aren't blessed with pace. Looking at Bodin's goal he looked no slouch to me or am I wrong?

Didn’t watch most of it, but if we have a team that can knock it about and play quality, slick passing football - it will out do any pace from a player. We have plenty of players with pace though lol.
 
True. Bodin has the skill to beat a player and get that yard ahead as he did a few times tonight. He may not be the fastest but he beat his man a few times tonight.

Forest were poor though.

Certainly from the video, he looked quick over the first 5yds - which can be just as effective as someone with shear pace but who needs 5yds to get going.

Thank you for your match report.
In your second post you saidvForest were poor. Do you think that the reason for this was because we made them look poor? Remember this side put 4 goals against Arsenal and 2 against Wolvesvat Molyneux.
Maybe they had prepared expecting Hugill to play and didn't expect to play against a team wanting to play it on the floor.

Having watched the second half, i'd say Forest were poor but we didn't let them settle on the Ball at all. We were in their faces and forcing long balls and mistakes. It was good to see and it was back to how we were playing at the start of the season and sadly i can only think this was because Jordan wasn't playing.

Yes there was certainly an element of that. In the first 15 minutes, they looked dangerous going forward and seemed to play with confidence as well. Right from the off though, we seemed to play with confidence and look assured especially Gallagher and Pearson in the spine and I think Forest recognised this.

I spoke to a few Forest fans before the game and they said they didn’t know what team to expect in terms of performance and didn’t believe they were going to win so if that filters down to the team as well, that will have an impact.

I believe football is a psychological game and if you have confidence, you play better and therefore will get a better performance.

Yes. I might be wrong but in the first half, myself and my son both felt that we still seemed to be playing like Hugill was on the pitch with the way we played but the second half was different with the ball on the floor more and creating down the wing.

Very pleasing to watch and we looked like we’d score every time we went forward!

Going off what the RL commentators were saying against SU we did the same on Saturday with Moult up top. A little tweak in the mentality and we will be all good.
