Agree with that, their back three was very shaky and cried out for someone to rough them up a bit.

And Kuipers and Oatway as well presumably? Or is this something only Leon should take the blame for? Nothing wrong with it anyway, people are perfectly capable of showing their respects in a number of ways.

We should have scored at least two in the first 20 mins.
After that we gradually lost our way.
Nicolas or Jones should have come on after 60 mins.
After FDM went off I was praying to hold on.
The only decent players they had were the keeper, No. 7 & No. 11.
0-0 - Fair result.
As for us only having 39% of possession - thats bollocks

How many mistakes can we make in one game and go unpunished ?
It's a testament to Forest's current predicament that we made so many relatively unforced errors and they couldn't score.
Wicked start by the boys but seemed to get muscled out of midfield as the game went on and incresingly shaky at the back (Butters excepted, he was a titan esp' towards then end).
Reid and King in particular seemed to take us apart at will.
Missed Virgo and having two nippy shorties up front relies on pinpoint passing from midfield;lol.
Brings us down to earth after recent performances and we are one point safer and one game closer to survival so I shouldn't moan but for f***s sake lets at least get basic passing sorted.
And for f***s sake lets all take a risk and sing something to give them a bit of support. We can make a difference even in the rain.

Today's game was exactly what I expected it to be, a relegation battle.
The Albion were good in the first half. Shame Leon doesn't vary his penalties a bit really.
Second half was dire, fortunately Forest seem to have forgotten what scoring is about.
Missed Virgo today, and I think that that, and the reasons surrounding his absence, contributed a lot to the poor performance. It is positive that we kept a clean sheet though, and boads well for the rest of the season.

Yep, spot on.
But I guess we all knew a below-par performance was coming sooner or later. Thank heavens we still were just about good enough to hang on for a point, a loss would have been very bad news.
I thought we shaded the first-half, although Forest had their moments. Terrific free kick from Chippy. Penalty miss gutting, because Forest would have struggled to come back from that. Tough one for McGhee whether he sticks with Leon now or tries someone like Chippy with these spot kicks.
Leon still had the class straight away to create our best chance of the game for Mayo, but he blew his shot.
Bit of comedy when both Leon and OGH sprung the offside trap, and they both left it to each other and then got in each other's way. Poor shot then from Leon.
People have complained that they don't feel Leon plays well in tandem with a targetman, can't see any clinching evidence that the Leon-OGH partnership up front is the definitive solution either.
The Forest defence has been their weakness all season and we needed to put them under more pressure than we did.
The second half gradually got worse and worse for us as Forest also had a few good chances and edged the important midfield battles. McGhee was probably right to stick with the guys battling out a point rather than gambling and going for 3 and ending up with a QPR-like result.
We missed the presence of Virgs but also the options that a targetman would give us to mix the game up a bit.
McGhee I'm sure is looking desperately for the right loan signing up front because there is a danger of more inert displays like this unless we can put more physical pressure on opponents. A loan signing will probably be key to maintaining our momentum and giving ourselves a comfortable survival run.
We'll see the tests on Kuipers before hyperventilating about that.
Eight points clear of the relegation zone is certainly the most we've had this season, so we're still sitting pretty, but we've got some hard games in the next month, so if we're still eight ahead in a month's time, that'll be pretty amazing.

I don't think it's down to the partner, it's down to the service from midfield. Sometimes the quality is there, sometimes it isn't. Today was one of those days when there was no creativity from the Oatway/Carpenter/Harding trio. Any partnership would struggle under those circumstances.London Irish said:
A lot of the time that's not the midfield's fault; we are just going to often come up against a midfield that is better than ours.
