Forest away Tuesday 14th January 8pm

Every team has a wobble at some point, hopefully this has been ours and we can get back to winning ways.

Some bus from Forest, take it considering the first half and other results going ok. Horrible side to watch but they are very effective. We really need to sort out this lackadaisical first half ****e. There are some glaring weaknesses in our squad, no better time to address them.

Robbo and Trent are main causes I'm afraid. Both have to be dropped for some defensive AND offensive improvement.

[Buzzo]

At one point City were ‘only’ 9 points behind us tonight.

Currently very much in the whining ways.

Brentford away next. Also very much not an easy one.

7 points ahead is unreal for **** sake.

It's good, but not as good as 9 points.

Best time to get a bad patch is when no one else is taking advantage. Arsenal draw tomorrow and they're still effectively 9 points behind us. Chrelsea and City continue ruling themselves out already.

I suppose if you don't have to work for something, you don't really appreciate it, and up until a few weeks ago, the season was in danger of becoming a procession.

[Irishnev]

But that’s sport right? Streaking off into the sunset with a 15 point lead is rarely how titles are won.

I find it dmfrustrating also but it’s just a hate watch on here. Everyone’s ****e. Everyone should leave.

Sometimes it’s a battle and that’s all there is to it.

It’s how we won it

Of course it’s sport and I’m following if long enough to know. Never in my wildest dreams did I think we’d be 7 clear in early Jan so we’re in a fantastic position. But…. I’m greedy, we coulda/shoulda been further ahead based on performances and I’ve still got anxiety from needing to be perfect or City beat us.

We’ve certainly looked a little off it and some of that must be fatigue - I think 1 or even 2 new faces into the squad could be the push to get us home. It also lifts the guys that are there seeing help come in

We are such a great position but going through a bit of a bad patch. Perfect time to freshen up the squad in this window and get some quality reinforcements in to bring it home.

[red g]

Even when mo plays **** he stays on. Chiesa has no chance. Surely 15 minutes today to try and do something?

Chiesa would be snapped in half with those brick shthouse FOrest players

Yeah both need replacing

At one point City were ‘only’ 9 points behind us tonight.

It's not about counting points, it's about establishing enough of a lead to give ourselves enough lee-way toward the end of the season to have selection choices. We have missed opportunities to do that, and tonight was one of them.

[rudedog]

Btw, Ali’s save percentage since coming back must be absolutely woeful - he seems to be conceding almost every second shot.

[Norbs]

After that first half, I'll take a point from that.

I know you know I was talking generally. I also hoped we’d be off with an 18 point lead. But the reality is always different.

My heart was absolutely racing during that FFS specifically thought Gakpo was going to score at the end.

They will be tough for everyone Forest with a defence like that. The keeper and Murillo were unreal.
