Wolf this would be the perfect time for you to post. I'm kinda watching the olympics as well so i might miss some of Worrall's mistakes. He's already given away a penalty.

Nope.
When he got back to Nottingham he was making himself some super noodles and his hair caught fire. As he was putting it out he slipped on some oil on the floor. He just managed to catch himself in time but his elbow hit the pan of noodles which violently flipped over.
As he was cleaning up the mess, a single noodle that had stuck to the ceiling fell into his eye and he panicked trying to get it out and fell over his cat and broke his arm.
 
Half time. I'm in the away end in the new safe standing area where no one is standing.

We are struggling in wide areas. They have them really well locked up. CHO and Aina struggling to get anywhere.

Williams was horrific first 30. Twitter says Murillo gave away the penalty, I can't see that but I know Williams got absolutely destroyed by his man for the second time to let them into the box. He has improved last 15 but too often we see the boy, not the man.

He's not helped on the right by Elanga's work rate, which isn't good enough.

One good moment was a cross by Elanga that Wood volleyed and was saved point blank by their keeper. Resulting set pieces saw a really clear handball block by them, missed by the ref because we can't even get a pen in a friendly.

Passing is a bit rusty. The pressing is decent but they look dangerous running out our defenders. They have the wide areas too well locked up for us to have had a run at theirs.

Some embarrassing rolling around on the ground by them

Rusty sums it up.

Nearly a peach from Wood, in front of me, but it came after he'd given the ball away three times in a row.
Danilo is an interesting blend of good and awful too.
 
Not scoring an awful lot are we? Only pre-season I guess, one more game to go and then its the serious stuff
 
I thought we looked really good. Second half was better, but I have no idea what Villereal did to their team with he subs and how strong their team was at different points.

We certainly took control and had some outstanding one touch passing in that second half, with decent play in the first half

Negatives

- rusty passing
- too easy to shut down our wide players in the first half
- Elanga wide right was meh.
- Williams had one of his games where he just didn't look good enough. Worried me.
- couldn't score, obviously
-Dominguez's hair, which I can only describe as mid 90s David Beckham

Positives

- Anderson looked outstanding. As in, better than MGW outstanding. Some of the things he can do I have rarely ever seen a forest played do. Really drove us forward when he came on. Not sure how you accommodate both him and MGW

- Danilo and Sangare were a promising partnership in midfield. Sangare continued his good pre season and really ran the show.

- Milenkovic showed really good international experience and complimented Murillo well

-Aina was excellent. He is a great, physical PL fullback

-Yates I thought was brilliant when he came on.

- Awoniyi immediately put the shit up them as soon as he came on. He missed a chance, got muscled out of one (barely) but as soon as he was on, they had problems. One ball in to him and he's in and their defence shits itself.

- Wood also had chances and it took a point blank reaction save to stop him scoring a great volley.

- I liked the new RB. He looked more assured than Williams did.

- Toffolo did really well when he came on.


We should have scored at some point. Should have had a penalty too. We had them penned in for the final third of the game. We still have options to integrate into the wings. I thought we looked good.

First experience of the away end and I inadvertently got to be one of the first people to try the new safe standing
