I find totally laughable when people say Ricky is not match fit. What a load of b$%^ocks!!! He is not a sprinter, he lacks pace, that does not make him unfit!! He was dropped, mistakenly, by NA for tactical reason that did not pay off. He holds the ball up better than anyone else; he lays the ball off better than anyone else; creates more chances for other players and on top of that he is our highest scorer. What is wrong with people? Without RL we would not have a single point. He is our most dangerous asset.

We have Ricky Lambert....... our only real goal threat

why f%^&ing Guly!!!!!

no luck.............................

give the ball away to often....................

Excellent team selection!!!! Come on you REDS!!!!!!!

A nightmare if that skate b*****d ever returned to SMS. Would support the team but not that vile man. Remember he had half a season to save us with a decent premier league squad and he failed miserably. He is utter crap, would be as bad as the Branfoot appointment....... It will not happen, NC is not that stupid.........?????

Ricky Lambert is our best player by far, our only real threat and the only player who will score consistently in this league. We were crap against Man City for 60 mins and lucky not to be 5 0 down by the time RL came on changed the game for us. Taking RL off against Manure cost us at least a point and against Fulham probably a win. He is key for us without him we are simply not good enough. There is not another manager, pundit or many fans that will agree with NA team selection or subs. NA must learn from this and not repeat them.

Poor starting XI again, poor subs again. NA needs to improve very, very quickly. We must beat Spuds. But NA must start with our best XI. Why don't we play 4-4-2.

Wrong team selection again, poor subs again, poor management again

absolute ****e. Think it might be bye bye Nigel

How is Guly still on the pitch???? He takes JRod and Punch off when we need at least another goal. Unbelievable. What is Adkins doing??? He clearly does not have a clue

Ricky about to come on, only 60 minutes too late!!

What was Guly doing pouncing around with the 20 yards from goal, f"£$ing clear it!!

f%^&ing useless bunch of c£$%s!! Appalling defending. Appalling team selection and no surprise we are 2 down!!! Get Ricky on NOW

Once again, no Ricky, nothing upfront!!!

Well that's wasted a few minutes reading this s@@@! Obviously Matt has a problem with NC! Nothing new there and probably something to do with the NC and Benali house problem. MLT is a god but he needs to sort out his problem.

If Ricky can stay fit for the season Super Ricky Lambert will be the highest scoring English striker in the premiership.

We must pickup at least a point. Lambert must play a full 90. Defence needs sorting, would go with: KD unless we sign someone Richardson Jos Yoshida Clyne MS Ramirez AL JWP Mayuka Ricky Mayuka should be used on the wing with his pace and every defence is terrified of real pace. Got to get the ball RL and support him.

Excellent post have to agree totally. I for one have osted the need to have a decent keeper and gemerally the normal comments were KD is good enough, loyal player etc.

Unfortunately this has been our weakest part of the team for a number seasons. KD has been a loyal servant to the club but if no replacement is brought in soon we will be in deep, deep trouble. I doubt that the defence has much confidence in KD either. Unfortunately I do not think Gazza is ready to step and playing him could destroy his confidence. Gordon is a good shout, experienced but injury prone. We have a huge problem and need a top keeper soon.

Woeful headed clearance that went straight to ManUre player who put into the box.... bang equaliser!! Apart from that pathetic defending not bad........
