Are We Hard?

I mean this more as a complimentary question. Having been at the match on Friday and watched the recording on TV, I got the impression the team were much more feisty and bloody minded than in recent seasons.

Last season, for example, on occasions we seemed timid and lacked conviction. On Friday night it was the opposite, we dictated, we stood our ground, we didn't get bullied, we were positive and we won. More of the same please.

Little bit personal eh?

Ask again in about 6-7 hours.

A couple of Forest fans in the train queue reckoned that Bruno was 'nasty'.

Garage_Doors · Aug 9, 2015

Yes I think we are' we showed a lot of determination to win balls and not be bullied in challenges.

Mackenzie · Aug 9, 2015

Yes. Kayal has a nasty streak as does Stephens. We've missed that sort of presence in centre midfield. Greer and Dunk can mix it and Baldock has the makings of a decent irritating chopsy wind up merchant.

Stephens certainly tackles as if he means it. He'll pick up a suspension or 2 this season, but it'll be worth it.

Get in WHERE it HURTS

Doc Lynam · Aug 9, 2015

No i don't think we are a tough team and we need a bit more steel.

Spicy · Aug 9, 2015

Think we are more resilient than we used to be, which is no bad thing. We should not be intimidated by other teams and are as good, if not better, than they are.

Bruno is hard but flair.

This. Both are probably prone to reds. I would throw Caldy into the mix also.

There was a definite edge to our play. I love Kayall's attitude on the pitch. Takes no sh*t from anyone.

Notters · Aug 9, 2015

I hope so. Ask again in a few weeks.

A chatted to a couple of Forest fans after the game who thought we should have had 2 sent off..i didnt think we were that physical/cynical...but its interesting to note that DF said he thought we were physical...i'll take that as a compliment even if it wasn't meant to be

Lol ye even from our own players..did you see him laying into Bong

Napier's Knee · Aug 9, 2015

I think we're now a niggly annoying team who will be in the faces of the opposition and ref. If that doesn't work Kayal or Stephens will do the necessary. Excellent.

Miami Seagull · Aug 9, 2015

Hard - No. Harder - definitely yes.

Soulman · Aug 9, 2015

Perhaps we had too many weak/flair players before, often the flair players were knocked off the ball. Now we have more powerful players, we need them in the championship.

Tom Hark Preston Park · Aug 9, 2015

Think we've got enough toughies now to 'encourage' the softies to raise their game more than they might have otherwise done. Would never normally condone bullying in the workplace, but has to be said it was a sheer JOY to watch Danny Cullip cuff Robbie Pethick round the ear :lol:
