Manager has to be held accountable for making the wrong subs especially when they strolled through midfield for the equaliser not the 1st time in opening weeks we have dropped points from good positions in last 5 minutes so he needs to get his act together on that We've tried to shut up shop before and it hasn't worked. We were looking to bury the game. Though in hindsight you are absolutely right. If Jedinak wasn't capable of playing 15 minutes he shouldn't have been on the bench. I'm not saying RDM is perfect and I think "outstanding" was a little hyperbole 10 minutes ago, hippo said: I don't see "It could be 6 in 12" cutting it with Dr Tony to be honest. I'm worried this might become an issue with Tony. His comment yesterday was ridiculous, far too emotional and irrational. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KHV Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 RDM's biggest mistake was not buying another midfielder, we are ridiculously light in that area and don't have any real quality in there either 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you don't rate Jedinak so we're not going to agree, but I don't think it's half as bad as people think. At least at this level. He has to get them fit.

I rate him enough out wide but you wouldn't trust him to babysit your kids. He can play there, but I've never seen him play well there. Generally though I'm agreeing with you.

Gestede came on in the 65th minute. Between then and the 86th minute, Forest had broken us down precisely 0 times and had 0 shots at the goal. There was absolutely nothing to suggest they were going to score and, unless I'm completely wrong about their equaliser, nothing to suggest that bringing on a second central midfielder would've stopped that goal.

I would rather see bacuna there than gardner i dont rate the bloke at all. he has had 6 games and demonstrated absolutely nothing. I seen more in tish in the few games he has played.

This is the problem though DDID, we have 4 midfielders (5 with Bacuna) a few injuries which Tshibola seems keen on getting and a couple of suspensions and we are in deep shit. If we have to persist with Westwood and Gardner on a regular basis then we will struggle in the middle (which has been happening) Another 1/2 in there wouldn't hurt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about NRC. But on free agents as a whole, can they play straight away? I presumed (maybe incorrectly) that you could only register players during transfer windows, irrelevant of their contractual situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only to say that I'm hopeful things will improve when our first choice central midfield partnership is available and I'm not writing them off as crocked just yet.

NRC would be fine by me for a season, at least he puts his foot in. He was actually very good at that when he was here, his finishing on the other hand is horrendous!

I had presumed we were done now till January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
