New Sheriff, but he's still a villain - Forest (A) 21/02/15

[TANGODANCER]

Ream's injury. When it happened I was sure somebody had flung Tim Ream into the post. At first I thought I's seen it wrongly then somebody on her mentioned the same thing. If that was the case, how come nothing was done about it by the ref or it hasn't been highlighted?

[Jugs]

I said we'd get battered.

We were awful, from start to finish.

The ref made a bad day even worse. Mills should not have been sent off. Ream, as Tango has just pointed out, was thrown into the post. So that was a foul and a booking which didn't happen. And I don't think even think theirs was a penalty. The ref was also gonna either book or send Longergan off but bottled it. Bad ref.

Bad day overall, though.

Lennon can't be held accountable for Twardzik having a shocker, or for Twardzik falling on his arse to kick off the whole sorry rout.

apart from the fact that it was Lennon who signed him up...

So one bad game makes him a bad signing for life, does it?

Stop fishing.

Nobody saw it I guess. Plus, I doubt the player meant to fling him into the post.

dunno! let's see! but Lennon surely IS accountable for the players he signs and picks?

Let's cut the bullshit and tell us what you are suggesting?

[Peter Thompson]

Neil Lennon will sort it during the close season, he'll learn a lot about these players in games like this....he'll bring in some much needed steel in the summer.

His target this season was always to keep us up with the position he inherited, which he should be able to do....he got a very impressive new manager bounce but he's now learning about how mentally soft and weak a lot of our players are.

His post match interview yet again is excellent....he says it as it is - no bullshit

Something along the lines of "If Freedman was still in charge..."

Yes, he's accountable for the players he signs and picks, and if a player proves over a number of games that he's gash, then yes, Lennon takes the rap. But not after one bleeding match.

Why am I even bothering to respond to the WUM?

[Worthy4England]

There's lots of ways of looking at what's going on. Whichever one you pick, leaking 4 goals in 4 of your last 6 league games needs some attention...

The same player chucked Dervite to the floor on the sidelines and KO'd Lonergan with a high foot... I reckon he probably did mean to...

Bad day overall, though.

It seemed to be one of those games where what bad could happen, did happen... hopefully that means we've used up all our bad luck in this game and can hope for a better run of things to come.

Used all our bad luck in this game? It feels as though it's been like this most of the season!!! There's a curse been bewitched on us, there must be

[Jugs]

It's interesting to read the comments from Bolton fans on the official Facebook page. So far under Lennon, the fans have reacted with positive comments when we've lost, like, "Lennon will sort it out." This time around, though, there is a lot of ire. Fans who have been travelling to recent away games are not happy, and it's the first time I've seen a lot of negative comments. They have a reason to be annoyed, and we're all annoyed, and we've just gotta be hope we can turn this around quickly. Another abject away day on Tuesday and I worry that the boo boys will return, which is not what we want.

[LeverEnd]

Negative comments are justified. I went to Rotherham, it was dreadful but I shrugged it off as a one off bad day. It wasn't.
He's ignoring experienced players and playing kids out of position, it's ridiculous. Im a big fan of his but if I think he's messing up I will say so. I won't be booing or such nonsense, but like Bish said, and was slated for, it IS Lennons fault if he makes a risky selection with twardzik and it backfires.
I'm confident he will improve things, but he needs to learn that he can't dick about with daft selections with a below average squad in a tight league. It's all very well doing that with Celtic against Much weaker teams.

Can you wiggle your nose ?

[SmokinFrazier]

We have too much of an injury problem in the squad to avoid making strange decisions, so I'm not overly bothered by what is happening now or by the decisions Lennon is making. I think it's by necessity rather than choice, so I can excuse the weird decisions and poor results right now. It's just not an issue for me, however disappointing it is to concede so many and lose too frequently.

The individual errors need sorting out though but that's down to the players themselves. Watching them, it's like they feel nothing is to play for this season.

[Hoboh]

Freedman's pre-match talk was probably get stuck into them they have a shithouse mentality and will fold!

well said. I support Lennon, but he still needs to learn things (like 3 at the back don't work..not with these guys anyway)
