Macphail!

Really thought we could have done with mcphail in midfield today! Midfield were very scrappy early doors and we had nobody to put there foot on the ball and calm it! They gave our midfield no space and shut whittingham right out I find when macphail is in with whitts it allows whitts more time and space . I think Malky got it wrong choosing ralls ahead of mcphail!

Was mcphail injured? I assumed so because he was everything we lacked today.

No, Malky said in his post match presser that his illness had flared up again, so had to rest him.

Mike,

I think Malky has got it wrong not using Earnie as a super sub and wrong not to use Macphail today, personally Malky got all his tactics wrong today, for the first time in my opinion.

And I am a big Malky fan, were all allowed an off day.

That's fair enough, I thought as much and his health comes first.

He was missed but I think Kiss should have replaced him, not that ralls did anything wrong.

Your right annis , although I'm not s big fan of earnie I have to agree that coming off the bench and nicking important goals is something he has the knack of doing(did it often at forest last season), as for malkys tactics I don't won't to be too critical of the man as he's done a sterling job but for me the last two games he's got it wrong!

Annis, interested to hear exactly what "tactics" you felt Malky got wrong today
