Went to the Forest v Brighton game this afternoon to do some scouting. Brighton brought a good number with them and were quite vocal, in contrast to the home crowd who were quiet and nervous. The Brighton keeper was excellent, made three outstanding saves and didn't drop a cross all game. The Brighton number 7, Dean Cox looked a skilful player. The left back, Mayo should be exploited, as he was the weak link in the defence. Slow and carrying a few extra pounds. Centre halfs good in the air, but slow if we can put it over the top or to the strikers feet to run at them. Overall Brighton played some tidy football, and looked a useful outfit. Think an early goal could change all that though.

True about Mayo, but he's all we have at the minute and is playing pretty well defensively

 

[Yoda]

They don't know much about us going a goal down though, do they?

Interesting how every time you read an opposition fan's match report they always seem to rate Cox, while our own fans just criticise!

 

[Da Man Clay]

Thats the first fans review in ages ive seen that rates Cox, coincidentally so did all of our fans that went today (by the looks of the player ratings thread)

I thought that Mayo looks a bit heavy. I thought Forster made a big thing of it earlier in the season that he had never trained so hard. So how come Kerry looks as though he could do to lose a couple of stone.

Ferret has posted on here that Kezza is one of the fittest players in the club. He is stocky but that doesn't make him fat.

extra weight makes you slower, whether in bulky muscle or fat. he could certainly do with shedding some weight for a bit more speed and agility.. got turned inside out 3 times within about 5 minutes today in the 1st half.

On the BBC Five Live coverage of the game yesterday, the commentator described Mayo as

"Brighton's rather bulky left back"



Pretty sure I heard Forest fans singing "You fat bastard" to him as well.

Nah couldn't of been singing, they were sat in the library for 90 mins, you'd have thought with over 15,000 home fans they could sing something

I couldn't make the game because of work, but there was a point in the radio coverage when the commentator announced Mayo had given away a free kick, and I could clearly hear a chorus of "you fat bastard" for a while, so I assumed it was meant for Kerry.

I thought Five Live spent the whole game making oh-so-hilarious Doug Loft jokes?

Maybe it wasn't the Forest fans?

more from WACCOE:

This is our biggest game of the year so far, like saturday we have chance to hurt our nearest rivals. We seem to perform better when theres more on it rather than playing the minnows who wallow in the underdog role in their cup finals.

Whos CUP FINAL is it now?? haha

I read that and thought the same thing.

Anyway, when MURRAY puts us a goal up in the first ten minutes, the chants of "one nil in your cup final" will be an integral part of the fun.

I am MOIST with excitement about Saturday's game

You're quite right, Ed. It was the Forest fans who stood up all game (funny that...) to our left, they certainly did sing 'you fat bastard' at Mayo.
