Fair Review. My personal MOM was Chambers, his best game in a Forest shirt.

Thanks for posting that up. Try to catch all the updates on your site.

Keep up the good work.

Nice read.

Good point about Thornhill, he never wastes a ball.

I like this bit:

We have a snigger at the Forest goalie coach warming-up Paul Smith. He’s struggling with his kicking and ends up on the greasy surface twice, when losing his footing.

Were I a cynical miserable f***er I might suggest he's perhaps not the best to coach cantkickaball Smith?

The atmosphere is spot on. The turnout from Wednesday on a Tuesday night, during the economic downturn, is exceptional. Yes, it’s not far to travel but I bet they’ve shelled some money out at the turnstiles.

Very true. I could hear the Wednesday fans before kick-off as I walked through The Meadows. They even drowned out the usual pitter-patter of gunshots. Their fans outsung us for most of the early stages of the game and only really gave up after they went 2-1 down. A very good showing of support really. A *really* good away support would have kept on singing despite the defecit though

Jamaican international Jermaine Johnson is fleet of foot and running the Forest defence ragged.

Absolutely. He was clearly their main threat. Wouldn't mind him in a red shirt really.

Matt Thornhill comes on for the ineffective Davies and plays in an advanced midfield position, allowing Perch to sit in front of the back four. Thornhill is magnificent and never wastes a ball.

Davies was definitely ineffective. I wouldn't call Thornhill magnificent though. Effective yes, but not 'magnificent'.

Tyson and 19 year old Owls’ defender Mark Beevers are having a terrific tussle, but this is a new Tyson we are seeing: he is braver and stronger than before and is lightning quick.

Very true. Tyson looks to be *almost* back to the form that he showed when he first signed for us. Nice to see him scoring with his right foot too. Earnie does a lot of the hard work to create opportunities for Tyson though.

 

[Neil Webb]

Absolutely. He was clearly their main threat. Wouldn't mind him in a red shirt really.

Doesn't he like kicking water bottles into the home crowd (Sheff Wed) though when subbed off??

He's a winger , isn't he ? He was pushed upfront after the sending off. Could be a suitable replacement for Anderson.
