Findley starts for NFFC in derby match v Notts County. Hopefully some streams will pop up. Grella not in 18 for Leeds v Bradford. The Leeds bench is comprised of a GK and all defenders, so if Grella doesn't have a knock it would be a very bad sign. Leeds fans on Twitter are outraged at the lack of strikers, so I assume it's not a knock. Doyle not in 18 for Derby v Shrewsbury Cody Cropper on the bench for Ipswich v Northampton Pittman and Oxford v Cardiff on Weds. Feel free to add to the list...
Jemal Johnson starting for Southend vs. Leyton Orient Anton Peterlin on the bench for Walsall vs. Middlesbrough
NO! Findley goal called back for offside or something (he wasn't off). It was a header to the far post.
I'm watching Findley and aside from the the goal that was called back he has been pretty bad imo. Hard to believe this guy was a WC forward. Really hard.
Every time he's tried to dribble forward with the ball, Findley has been stripped. Literally every time. But when he's tried to use his speed off the ball and then to get it on the run, he's been a lot more effective.
NFFC fans on Twitter are actually pretty high on his first half performance. Were expectations that low?
Findley has been effective today, with the dribbling as a huge exception. He's better when he tries to work the ball quickly and then move.
Keep in mind this is against Notts County, a League One squad. Not good if he's struggling. But the commentators on Forest's website seem to have had a better opinion of Findley: "Findley's looking lively, good on the ball and making good runs into advanced positions." "Nearly the opening goal for Forest, Findley uses his pace down the right and crosses for Anderson who side foots just wide. Great chance."
Findley strikes again! 2-1. Similar to the ruled out goal, a looping cross from the left reaches Findley on the right side of the 6-yard box. This time he side foots it into the far corner of the net.
Findley nearly does it again. A ball over the top bounces in his path on the right side of the box and he hammers it towards the top corner, pawed away by the keeper.
I missed Findley's goal...how was it? EDIT: Eh, missed the post by schrutebuck. Still, I can see him failing at this level. He is only of any use as a guy to get to the end of a long ball.
He is getting minutes with a big club.. I am happy with this progress... Also people saying Notts County is League 1... true but they are strong League 1 side with financial means and also this is a major derby that Findley scoring in will have an impact on the fans appreciation of them... Eddie Johnson pissed all the Cardiff fans off by playing poorly against their rival and never really recovered so Robbie is on the right track...
County have some real quality. Impressed with them tonight. Could be in the Championship next season.
Garner has a chance to equalize for Forest but can't convert. Forest have 2 minutes added on here to try and salvage an equalizer.
Forest get an amazing equalizer at the VERY VERY last second to tie it at 3!! Findley got the assist! Wes Morgan was the goal scorer which was an upper 90 rocket from the edge of the box.
