Nottingham Forest vs West Ham Preview | Tactical Breakdown

[@michaeltopham6762]

From a Nottingham Forest fan….. Thank you for showing us the respect our performances have earned. Good luck for the season but hope your players don’t turn up on Saturday 😊

[@BabblingIrons]

More than welcome! It’s been a joy to watch this season & though I hope we beat you this weekend, let’s hope we’re both up at the top end of the table come the end of the season! - Sloth

[@sketch230]

Solid analysis, guys. 👊🏾 You set your standards high and consistently achieve them. Well done. 👍🏾

[@BabblingIrons]

@@sketch230 thank you very much, it really is appreciated! - Sloth

[@paunixon]

Great preview, guys, although I'm not looking forward to the match if we play like we have. No reason to assume much will change in JLo's formation and tactics, but I can hope. My tactics would be stay compact, don't press, hit them on the counter. My lineup: Fab AWB-Todibo-Kilman-Emerson Alvarez Soucek Rodriguez Bowen Summerville Antonio COYI. Hope for a sneaky 1-0, but fear a 0-3 drubbing.

[@BabblingIrons]

Thanks! I think most would take a 1-0 win ⚒️👊

[@MartinL-i8j]

What Forest have got is incredible concentration levels for 90 mins, it’s huge credit to Nuno. You’ll see Neco Williams on 70mins and he’s got some engine

[@BabblingIrons]

@@MartinL-i8j they’ve built a really strong squad & have progressed massively this Summer! Neco as you say could be a nightmare off the bench - Sloth

[@DJTONEuk1865]

Thanks guys the love for Forest by away fans this season has been amazing and humbling

[@BabblingIrons]

@@DJTONEuk1865 it’s good to hear people appreciating good football & rightly so! Good luck for the season ahead ⚒️👍🏻 - Sloth

[@PeacefulGuy123]

Forest have taken a while to get this organised. Didn’t look great when Nuno first came in

[@BabblingIrons]

Yeah, it’s good to see a manager given time & it’s really paying off! - Sloth

[@peaches906]

tbf when he first came the first match our player got a red (not biased he just shouldnt have got a red) but then we had a lot of starters at AFCON (and one that couldnt go because he was injured) .....most of them actually came back injured then we had the points deduction, a series of terrible ref calls from December onwards, the squad were not his squad so tbh there was a settling in period and I think he weathered the storm quite well!! but overall agreed (with a lot of caveats!!)

[@BabblingIrons]

@ Definitely agree with you! Nuno definitely had a tough time at the start, but he’s showing exactly why he was so highly regarded just a few seasons ago. Hopefully both of us can disrupt the top 10 a bit this season - Sloth

[@obsidiancurse429]

I just don’t have faith Loppy will realise the danger and plan accordingly. If he doesn’t I can see a thrashing, we can’t keep relying on other teams missing their chances.

[@BabblingIrons]

@@obsidiancurse429 how easily we concede chances is a massive worry, I’m hoping we can nick a result, but if we don’t massively improve I fear you could be right! - Sloth

[@robertcowie8230]

Big test against Forest....from the stats I came to the quick conclusion that the team currently sucks :) Good job on the best tactical breakdown show

[@BabblingIrons]

@@robertcowie8230 haha much appreciated Robert, thank you for the kind words & let’s hope we 3 points! - Sloth

[@elduderino7767]

agree with ings, should get his shot, antonio has been awful, you can't play into him reliably atm, not only do we struggle to get our possession going but they are primed for the counter while we are out of position ings as a false nine could work, higher percentage balls as he comes deep which he can easily offload to ball carriers like summerville/bowen or someone in midfield, maybe guido, who can then exploit the space he leaves as defenders follow antonios touch and strength isn't working atm, maybe a strategy to implement later in the game as the defenders tire

[@drawde5762]

I want to see: Summerville Bowen Guilherme Soucek Rodriguez Alvarez Emerson Kilman Todibo Wan-Bissaka Fabianski

[@BabblingIrons]

Guilherme to start is a big shout, but it would certainly help counter their pace as well! Hopefully we see him off the bench more, definitely like the midfield you’ve put ⚒️- Sloth

[@O_gaming707]

CMON U REDSSSS

[@johnharrison7047]

Sloth needs to ditch his dial-up and get fibre to the home.

[@BabblingIrons]

@@johnharrison7047 just had the fibre upgraded to 300mb….absolutely fuming 😂 - Sloth

[@jordanphillips1754]

Where’s Mike lads? Not seen him in a while.

[@ralphenjoyingthesun4233]

Baby stuff maybe ?

[@BabblingIrons]

@@jordanphillips1754 he’s been a very busy boy & travelling the globe with work so Frankie has been carrying us for a while now! - Sloth

[@ralphenjoyingthesun4233]

F..k ! Im worried i think 2 or 3-1 win with forest ..They are looking good we aren't .. Lose i think .

[@BabblingIrons]

@@ralphenjoyingthesun4233 yeah they look very well drilled & far better at the back! Let’s hope we can change the course of this season - Sloth

[@ralphenjoyingthesun4233]

@BabblingIrons love your stuff watch another analytical ch but you use visual not just analysis

[@BabblingIrons]

@ really appreciate it! We’re going to try and incorporate a lot more visuals into videos soon - Sloth

[@ralphenjoyingthesun4233]

Ings or Antonio Ffs 😅

[@andyarmit3284]

Anyone who thinks Soucek is our player of the season either isn’t a West Ham fan or believes our bar is low for a Hammers of the year.Sorry,but as likeable a bloke he is he holds our game back so much.We should have moved him on instead of Ward Prowse.

[@BabblingIrons]

@@andyarmit3284 that’s your opinion & it’s completely fine, but I couldn’t disagree more! If we go tit for tat, I’d say that anyone disagreeing he’s not in the running doesn’t understand the importance of his goals or simply doesn’t understand football… He’s not the most polished, but he’s a work horse & he’s constantly working hard offering something. Came on against United & helped change the game! JWP is a good player, but does nothing to solve the issue in our midfield I’d choose Soucek every single time - Sloth

[@andyarmit3284]

@ yes Sloth it is all about opinions your right,we will have to agree to disagree on the Soucek debate.Last season he made the fewest passes out of any midfielder in the Prem league including 3 relegated clubs,with the worst pass completion of any midfielder.Bearing in mind a midfielders job is to pass the ball and preferably to a team mate does reduce his effectiveness?

[@elduderino7767]

Cut out the individual mistakes and chances for the opposition will dry up do that and it's an easy win

[@BabblingIrons]

@@elduderino7767 love the ambition! I’m not convinced West Ham can make anything easy though 😂 let’s hope I’m wrong though!!! - Slotb

[@petestaley7903]

Easy win? See you Saturday at The World Famous City Ground mate.

[@BabblingIrons]

@ I think you could see I’m not as convinced 👀😬-Sloth
