Forest were putting a bit of pressure on towards the end and I think putting Darcy on would have helped to add some steel and bite to our midfield. That's only a small criticism mind and it's great to see us keep going to the very end. Another good, battling win and another clean sheet. I love seeing us keep clean sheets and look hard to beat, although Gerrard was very lucky at the end.

disagree,
why change the shape of the side when we had the edge, putting on another defender just invites more pressure on us. keeping 5 in the middle helped us keep the ball out of our box alot better

Putting Blake on for McPhail wouldn't have changed the shape. Blake could have slotted in alongside Gunnarsson in midfield with Whittingham a bit further forward. Forest were coming at us towards the end and I think Blake would have helped us out defensively. Also, to the poster who says Blake can't pass a football, I understand everyone has different opinions, but that's a load of rubbish. In Blake's last few games for Wales, he has rarely given the ball away. Blake isn't as good as Ralls on the ball, but he is still decent enough and the job of a defensive midfielder is to win possession and give a simple pass, which is something Blake is very good at imo.
