Well Mr Brazil has found his level which is not Championship manager.

I am all for giving the academy players a chance but this league is unforgiving and you cannot play 442 with a spine of Smith, Worrall, Osborn, Brereton?

Individually they are worthy of selection but at this level you need to pick a strong spine and revert to 3-5-2 to stop the goals first and close the space down in the last quarter of the pitch.

The irony is we now have the offensive players to play on the break but we need to play more direct and with pace. We have the personnel but unfortunately there seems to be a political selection system operating between the summer signings the academy favourites and the newbies.

Based on current injuries and talent the answer is between the 3 factions. The full backs pick themselves but from Osborn down we should not have more than 3 academy players starting any game if we are going to stay up?

Brazil needs to wise up quick or go find a wise head to bring in to show him how to get the best out of his whole squad not just his favourites. We are still playing for this season not next?

Well it doesn't matter who we have in charge know one will ever get a really go at management in this club a couple of defeats and he's not good enough for this level but it was only 2 weeks ago everybody was saying how great he was. Then let's give youth ago now your saying there not up to it again it was only the other week everyone wanted youth in the team. Also how can anybody win a game when they have a defence like ours today no really centre back in their and then we are back to the same thing it was the wrong formation we should of played this and that at the end of the day we are not good enough.

If it wasn't for Smith, Brereton and Osborn today could have been a lot worse. Let's face it the team did nothing when the crocs (not Britt) came on.

Play the kids, don't play the kids. Give it to Brazil, he's not good enough! Let's be honest when we all seen the lineup this morning we all feared the worst. No Hobbs, mancienne or Mills. Was always going to struggle without one of those in the side.

But we started well enough, hit the bar, even missed a penalty. I imagine the game being a little different if one of those had gone in. Be nice if we could give the manger and the players support at least til the end of the season. I mean it could be worse.

Said it many times before we just don't get any luck 99/ 100 the keeper would have been sent off he was lucky he just happened to be playing Forest!, i can understand it if the player is heading away from goal but Brereton had gone round him and was ready to slot it in the net, the keeper had his head in his hands knowing he was off. If i did my job that bad i would be sacked!

Its the usual singing when were winning, we didn't get played off the park yesterday and were unlucky not to get something from the game. If we won the next couple of games I'm pretty sure the comments and vibe would change back again.

Funny and fickle is the usual forecast on here:)

In reply to steveecky; Accidental fouls inside the box that deny a goalscoring opportunity are no longer punishable via a red card. That would be considered a double-punishment (inc. the penalty) and now a yellow card only is applied.

Which is why one of the Villa Red Cards earlier in the season was so harsh.

Sorry, I meant one of the Newcastle Red Cards (Dummett) not Villa.
