Why does RE always wait untill we fall behind with substitutions and only try and make a real impact on the game after 70 minutes. The longer the season is going on the more I feel all these new signings are no better than last season's squad. Wolves is a must win game for me and we should be worrying about our game and not theres..

We have signed a lot of rough diamond types. Personally I would have kept Campbell and Horvath. Chong/Barclay are not working yet

Nothing worse than seeing Campbell in a millwall shirt

Not that he did much in a Millwall shirt

You almost answered your own question. If we are not behind then the team is doing ok. When we drop a goal then we need to push forward more. Simples.

On a hot, close and humid day, our team had to work even harder in pressing a skilful Fulham team. Rob will learn from this. If he has to put three players on after an hour then so be it. I suspect we'll be needing a lot of fresh legs this season due to the amount of running and closing down and the quality of opposition we are playing. Remain calm. That's how we got here.

I actually thought he got it spot on, limited Fulham to very, very little and carved out some excellent opportunities on the break. The subs did well when they came on too. Deserved a point at the bare minimum.

I'm pretty sure I've ready that 'these new signings are no better than last season's squad' about a dozen times on here early in a season.
And yet, miraculously, we have been promoted four times.
In a few weeks the posts will be 'what a signing, 2020 have done it again'

Posted by Ches Fordroad on 18/9/2023, 12:00:37, in reply to "Re: Impact subs"
Seem to remember it being said about Allan Campbell a couple of years back, almost certainly by the same people.
Now he's seemingly the player that single-handedly got us promoted last season.

To be fair crumps I am starting to think it is going a bit like the Graeme jones era... I like Rob Edward's but we all know it was nathan jones who built the squad.

Honest guy but I would have started krul against fulham. That number one jersey needs to be competitive. Some fans bang on about horvath not being good enough but is kaminski any better?
Re: Impact subs
Posted by Grumpy on 18/9/2023, 11:27:32, in reply to "Re: Impact subs"
We don’t have the players to go on the attack and blow away the opposition. We didn’t do it last season and certainly won’t this season. We have to stay in the game as long as possible and then try and Nick it late. Hard work and organisation is the only way for us. Do you really expect RE to come out and do a Scott Parker ?
Re: Impact subs
Posted by Hatsworth2nd on 18/9/2023, 11:35:58, in reply to "Re: Impact subs"
The best form of defence is attack. Sorry but if we are going to go down I would rather had a go! For me breaking up last season's squad was a big mistake. They may have not been the greatest individual players but they all worked superb as a team.

We had at least four decent chances before they scored. With a bit of luck, we could have been two goals (or more) in front before they scored (a goal which wouldn't have happened if the referee had done his job).
For me breaking up last season's squad was a big mistake.
Of the eleven that started against Coventry, two were on loan and two are long term injuries. Of the other seven, four started on Saturday and three came on as subs. That is hardly breaking up last season's squad.
Re: Impact subs
Posted by HH on 18/9/2023, 12:24:59, in reply to "Re: Impact subs"
Exactly
I know I've mentioned if before but the xG stats for the season are very different for us. According to that, we should be 17th in the League (ahead of Fulham, Sheff Utd and Burnley).
I know people dismiss them as meaningless but it shows the performances aren't as bad as some are making out. Teams don't tend to outperform or underperform their xG for long....
Re: Impact subs
Posted by Zaphod on 18/9/2023, 14:39:48, in reply to "Re: Impact subs"
In November 2019 we were sitting about 8th in League One, but playing well. An xG analysis I saw then showed that we were much better than our League position. We all know how that season turned out.

Posted by Hatsworth2nd on 18/9/2023, 12:24:44, in reply to "Re: Impact subs"
Sorry but the likes of pelly and Campbell need to be starting. Drameh could have signed along with horvath. The likes of Barkley are everything we never was. Not my cup of tea. As for the chances unlucky but at this level need to be more ruthless.
Re: Impact subs
Posted by The Outsider on 18/9/2023, 13:26:36, in reply to "Re: Impact subs"
Who says that we could have signed Drameh. He was in their manager's plans so, even if we had wanted to sign him, he wasn't available so we went elsewhere.
Maybe Horvath's wage demands didn't fit in with our wage structure even if we did want to sign him.
You say that we need to be more ruthless. The fact that we made four chances disproves your assertion that we just sat back until they scored and didn't give it a go.

Posted by Hatsworth2nd on 18/9/2023, 13:44:46, in reply to "Re: Impact subs"
So he sits on the bench? What a waste Everyone else is benefiting nicely out of the club being in the premiership. I'm sure a deal could have been struck. Maybe these teams aren't all they are made up to be..look at afc Wimbledon running chelsea close and fulham getting smashed 5.1 at man city. Too much respect.
Re: Impact subs
Posted by Eddie on 18/9/2023, 14:06:27, in reply to "Re: Impact subs"
Exactly, giving them way too much respect. Fulham were misplacing passes once we started putting pressure on them. They have to give it a go and not stand off all the time.
Re: Impact subs
Posted by The Outsider on 18/9/2023, 13:59:21, in reply to "Re: Impact subs"
He isn't sitting on the bench - he isn't even in Forest's squad which perhaps tells you something.

Re: Impact subs

So basically everyone that isn't currently playing should be playing. I'm just surprised you don't want to see Jake Howells and Adam Watkins get a game.
Remind me, just how influential Campbell was second half of last season? Yet in the minds of the likes of you he's become the player who single-handedly won us promotion.

So did Frankie Bunn and Steve Elliott, should we be giving both a game on Saturday?
Re: Impact subs
Posted by Hatsworth2nd on 18/9/2023, 14:12:51, in reply to "Re: Impact subs"
Bunn later went on to score six goals in one game so yes
Re: Impact subs
Posted by The Outsider on 18/9/2023, 14:17:35, in reply to "Re: Impact subs"
So, we should be playing 60 year old players because they once scored six. Joe Payne scored ten but it doesn't mean that he should still be playing. Perhaps we could sign Ted McDougall and play him up front as well.
