Re: [LU] Fwd: Forest
I just presumed it was age catching up with him. He’s always struggled a bit with pacy wingers and he’s maybe lost another yard or so of pace. I’ve been more worried about his concentration, he’s given the ball away far more than he used to. Still love him though!

Re: [LU] Fwd: Forest
Agree Nick, it is strange. He was inspirational against Scum and there was general agreement that he was back and deserved the captain’s armband but in recent weeks it’s all gone wrong. He looks slow and looks like he’s really struggling to get a grip on games. Having said that he put some real desperate challenges in last night which did win us the ball back.

Re: [LU] Fwd: Forest
I assume the lack of consistency was why he got dropped by Arsenal as a kid and why the likes of James Milner has done so well. LA on his day is great. 20 years ago the Neville’s were apparently amongst the best full backs England had. I find it interesting that LA is being targeted ahead of Firpo. Maybe Forest had better options on the left. Sent from my iPhone > On 5 Apr 2023, at 17:34, Nicholas Armit via Leedslist > wrote: > > He was excellent against Scum in both games though.

Not sure where BMD is going with his tactics / selections? Murphy , Brown, Pugh and Austin in midfield ? With Pugh really playing as a left winger. We've nothing on the right side cos Peltier gets a nose bleed when he crosses the half way line. Murphy keeps giving the ball away and for me has not shown anything worthy of his selection. Up front we have no pace whatsoever. We are relying in the long ball to Smith from a free kick / corner. Just very depressing. Hope BMD puts on a bit of pace and changes it around a bit because Forest are average but we're making them look good. Can only get better I think ?
