Currently, the UN recognises 195 countries, with a world population of 7.8 billion, representing thousands of different cultures, traditions and languages. Our differences are many, however, there is one thing that unites the entire human race: the fact that Nottingham Forest's squad contains at least one representative of each of the world's nations. Like some latter day Noah's ark, Forest has chosen to gather two of every culture, preserving the essence of humanity in case of cataclysm.
Can QPR's rag tag collection of waifs, strays and Dom Ball make any impact on this cast of thousands?
Definitely. 2-0 Rangers. |  |

Yes, don't have to give the free kick, more often it's when the keeper gathers the ball and it's just played on with possession 👠|

I'd like Field to be closer to Johansen as stefan isn't able to make as much space as usual. |  | | |

Great ball from Barbet, maybe that's the attacking option down the left, leave Wallace to sit and Barbet can do the overlap.
We're close to clicking I think. Probably sit tight now this half but hopefully get a couple of things sorted at half time.
2nd game in 3 days on a big pitch against a team who sit in with a high line, can see why we're feeling our way into the game.
That is a shit goal to concede after saying all those things and wastes a half of safe football. |  | | |

Absolutely right. He makes a mistake but it’s a blatant pull. |  |

Yep, Ameobi definitely pulled him back. But Barbet should have got rid. |  | | |

Me too. Ended up looking like a mutual thing but only because the initial pull back was ignored. Thought Barbet had been playing really well up till then. Fcuk. |  | | |

Probably 50/50 whether the ref gives that. But surely don’t take the chance, just clear it. [Post edited 5 Apr 2021 15:50]

HT REPORT
Let's remember why we don't seem as good today as Friday.
Coventry were awful and we had so much time against them.
Field is in a new position this afternoon at centre-back but doing well - presumably that Cameron is injured and de Wijs definitely so.
But playing at centre-back weakens our midfield.
Forest are so much better than Coventry.
Their goal was down to a big Barbet error although they we much more threatening throughout the first half.
But what has been maintained is our energy and our closing of space.
And we've had chances - Johansen and Charlie both useful opportunities.
We can now throw caution to the wind in the second half and with more pace go for it.
Nothing to lose.
We can still get something out of this. | | | |

Poor half from us.
The back line look to be playing as individuals. Disjointed.
JoJo off form and Ball looks rusty and we're struggling to get the ball through their midfield.
Up front, only Chair is playing with any urgency. Austin poor again.
10 shots to 3 in their favour. | |

That was such a poor decision by Barbet and it did look as though he was pulled but should never had been put in that position to loose it
So a pretty non descript 1st half and both teams poor and it took a mistake for either side to score.
Though the back 3 as worked for us in recent games I think we need to look at going for a flat back 4 2nd half.
Brian was spot on with Field now in a 3 Johansen is playing deeper and it is just not ticking.
Perhaps go to a flat 4 and move Field in the holding CM. Push Johansen up and replace Ball with perhaps Uncle in a sort of 4-1-4-1.
Think we need to do something | | | |

Maybe I'm old fashioned but he's a 6ft2 centre back, if he can't deal with someone tugging his hand he shouldn't be playing the game. | | | |

Come on Mark. Surprise me with a HT tactical substitution or two.
Don’t really deserve to be behind but have offered little going forward. | | | |
