I've maintained that McCormack, Ayew and Grealish should be first team players as they would get the best out of each other. So nothing to do with that. But 2 shocking transfer decisions and we're left with the 1 who most needed the other 2 to help his development. Wonderful. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A player who couldn't be arsed to turn up for training. A player who couldn't be arsed to issue an apology for letting his teammates down. i get your anti-Bruce thing, it's understandable considering where we are. I'm in the lets give him more time but I'll happily accept your position on Bruce. But not this with McCormack. It's ridiculous and the reason he is at forest is all his own doing. havent we spent the last couple of years trying to rid the squad of 'parasites' with terrible attitude. I'd argue, very strongly, that McCormack is in that category based on the last few weeks events. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Signing players from smaller countries that aren't regulars in their national team has always been a no-no for me.

He was making the same runs here. Apparently he's really good at unlocking the gates of the defence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying MCormack is the good guy here but Bruce failed to get anything out of a player who has banged goals in for fun the last three seasons 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All three have been given countless opportunities and between all 3 they have less than 10 goals combined this season. Pathetic stuff really.

He learnt a lot about the operation of electronic fences and I believe McCormack left behind a couple of manuals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunderball Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 (edited) It's some team we're going to have when McC, Gil, Sanchez and Veretout return. ;-) Edited February 19, 2017 by thunderball 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastie Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Was chatting to a friend who supports forest and he said McCormack was shocking yesterday besides his weak penalty Miss and was deservedly subbed . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All three have been given countless opportunities and between all 3 they have less than 10 goals combined this season. Pathetic stuff really. You didn't read what I said. I said Ayew, McCormack and Grealish should have played together to get the best out of each other. How often did they play together? Huddersfield - 79 minutes - McCormack goal, Grealish assist. Rotherham - 74 minutes - McCormack assist Derby - 83 minutes Bristol - 90 minutes - Grealish goal Forest - 90 minutes - McCormack goal, Ayew assist x2 Wigan - 30 minutes - Grealish goal Burton - 15 minutes - McCormack goal So the 3 of them only played 461 minutes together, which is nothing. A total contribution of 5 goals and 4 assists in that short time and only once did they all appear together at some point in a game and didn't contribute to us scoring. They average 1 goal per every 92 minutes when on the field together, that's without even counting the assists. That's better than what we've averaged all season and isn't even including goals from other sources, like our top scorer Kodjia. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Another note I'd add. With them on the field we outscored 4 teams (Huddersfield, Rotherham, Wigan and Burton), level with 2 teams (Forest and Derby) and were outscored by 1 (Bristol). That's 14 points over 7 games, 2ppg. I'm sure I'll get some disagreement to the above because #Stats. But it certainly backs up what I felt I saw when they played together. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
