I mentioned yesterday that Festy (whilst devastatingly quick) sometimes seems to have a poor touch. Have re-examined and does he remind anyone else of Wanchope? Appears to have lost the ball and then collects and zooms on?

Morning after view:
Morning all, not the result we wanted but lets face it we aren't going to win every game. Fine margins. First 25 minutes there was only one team in it and had Lawrence scored then it could have been a different game.
IMO where we lost it was midfield. Not saying we played badly there....but we were just outplayed there. I also think Notts Forest worked really hard at closing down our space and credit them that. That said, they didn'y really create that much but scored with what chances they created. Fine margins, we create 3 good chances and only score with one of them. Goals change games - as we saw v Sheff U last week.....so as the saying goes "We go again".....
1. Goalie - Allsop. Did nothing wrong and made a couple of good saves and punches clear.
2. Defence - Byrne, Stears, Davis & Buchanan. Probably Davis was the pick. Buchanan maybe a bit ring rusty after his layoff. Wing backs generally not as effective as they have been in recent weeks.
3. Midfield - Bird, Tommo & Knight. Where we lost it IMO. None did anything wrong especially but seemed to be overwhelmed by Notts Forest.
4. Forwards - Festy, CKR & Loz. Festy was isolated and closed down so generally unable to get into it. Apart from the opportunity we created in the 1st half - where we shoulda scored Loz and CKR for me didnt really click and I think it was an error to change the starting line up from what it has been. That said Loz looked most likely to score and took the penalty well.
5. Subs - Sibley, Morrison & Plange. Saw the worst of Sibley who lost his head. Has had a poor season so far and needs to find himself again. Morrison was awful with so many misplaced passes. Dont like him dropping too deep when he goes looking for the ball and like Sibley completely lost it. Plange for me should have started the game but its done now.
So all in all we did ok. We shouldn't be too down hearted as it could have been a different result....but as I said earlier we simply aren't going to win every game. So we dust ourselves down and go again. Keep the faith....UTR

Good summary again Terry. No-one played badly but midfield is where the game was won and lost.

Echo Vidal's comment re Shinnie. A game where he was much needed.
