FT: NOTTINGHAM FOREST 1-2 CARDIFF CITY



My MOTM has to be Rubin Colwill closely followed by Dillon Phillips

Made difference because did it early around 60mins not usual 80mins but think generally our bench is strong as always seem to have game changers on bench

MCarthy spared his blushes by his subs.
He shouldn’t have thrown Bowen into the fray.
Moore should have been on at half time.
City much better with that colwill Moore and Harris.

Letsbe honest he had to change it shocking 1st half but the subs they where the 2 players everybody wanted on collins quite bowen out of depth cracking turn around well done

Why not throw bowen in???? Thought he did ok. Why not just enjoy the win and the fact we have so many young players getting a chance and league position shows we are doing well too...

Looking at it differently. It’s a squad game so it’s good we can still be in the game even if things aren’t going to plan. But there are game changers on the bench.

Yes if city played moore and colwill from start it doesn't mean we would have scored 1st half... but does show we have players that can make difference when come on

Exactly. If we didn’t the same posters would be moaning that we haven’t given him a chance ffs.

Personally, I don’t think he’s ready at the moment.

The game passed him by but he didn’t do anything wrong;like all these youngsters, Bagan in particular, if they don’t play then they can’t improve.
