If Notts Forest is acceptable then so is Arsenal Hotspurs, Man County and Chelsea United.

 

[MaxiRobriguez]

Me neither. We're also referred to as just 'Nottingham' sometimes by opposing managers and players. Again, don't really care. As long as we don't consistently get referred to as 'those twats' then I don't care.

Yeah I don't care either. Most people who use it are just a little ignorant rather than malicious, and those who are using it as a means to try and wind us up should just be ignored. Similar to 'Forrest' it's just something to shrug your shoulders about.

 

[Abdooonk]

I assume it's too early to be allowed to be concerned about this chap? Two poor performances for me.

Not good enough for Nottingham Forest

I thought he did ok and hope the injury isn’t serious.

 

[ArthurD]

I thought he did well, was on the back foot against Antonio for the first 20 but then got him in hand.

I thought he played fine today, and showed the odd bit of quality too?

 

[Rzar]

I thought he did well, was on the back foot against Antonio for the first 20 but then got him in hand.

He was man marking him & was touch tight all match. I thought he did well and got better as the game went on.

He is very aggressive, but as he adapts he will get stronger and get beaten less often. He has good recovery speed for when he does get caught out much like that Spence had.

 

[Haych]

Well I think he’s brilliant. It’s funny how people see the game different.

 

[Harvey]

He's been great every game he's played, including pre-season

Really hope his injury isn't serious

 

[NFFC_Josh]

Thought he was great, Antonio was rattled. Hope he will be good to go for next week.

 

[DapperDan]

He was really good, man marked the beast that is Antonio, seemed to win everything from our corners as well. I am very happy with this signing.

How drunk are you? I only ask as my reply will change if you've had too much to drink

The guy was great, he wasn't beaten and was pretty much man marking Antonio all game and he got nothing out of him.

Reading everyone else's replies It looks like you're the only one concerned mate.

Had one or two to be honest! He was certainly up against it against Antonio but I thought he struggled. All about opinions though.

It is mate.

He seems impressed with the fans today. But tbh so was I, I can't ever remember such a roar when the players went off at half time!

 

[Rzar]

He was a real threat from corners

 

[Erik]

In my opinion lots of very good Premier League defenders have struggled against Antonio, and will continue to do so.

 

[The Frog]

Very surprised to hear anyone thing he struggled. For me he competed very well against Antonio who is one of the strongest and awkward CF in the prem. How many chances did Antonio have himself or lay up for his team mates? Not a great deal.

 

[Statto]

In my opinion lots of very good Premier League defenders have struggled against Antonio, and will continue to do so.

But by the metrics which matter, ours didn't.

He didn't score, he didn't have any real clear cut chances, and he wasn't really involved in many goalscoring opportunities.

You are joking surely?.
Looks the business-and as well as being solid defensively hes quick which covers a multitude of problems for us...
I think you'll see how "poor" he is if Cookie is dropped in as his replacement against the likes of City...

 

[weejockmcplop]

Antonio had had enough of him by half time. He went off furious and don't think it was only about the disallowed goal. Niakhate was stronger.

That's why he tackled him in the build up to their disallowed goal, utter frustration.

 

[BryanRoy22]

Niakhate was immense. He looked the real deal.

Great presence, showed strength, reading of the game, didn't jump into tackles. Headed almost everything and cleared a lot of cut backs.

I'm very happy with him.

 

[ScottC]

Brilliant, brilliant signing. I hope his injury isn't serious.

 

[MaxiRobriguez]

Brilliant, brilliant signing. I hope his injury isn't serious.

He'll be ok. Sat in dugout after he went off rather than down tunnel so probably just impact injury.
