As the clock ran down against Bournemouth with Forest leading by a single goal, the manner of the home side went from being compact and professional, to slack and on the back foot, but why?

With half an hour remaining, Billy Davies men spurned the glorious opportunities created and allowed Bournemouth time to roam freely.

When Simon Cox handled the ball, he took the decision to play pointlessly with the ball before the free-kick was taken. Yellow card given. A controversial yellow card was given to keeper Karl Darlow after he took a bit of time to collect the ball for a free-kick.

Right decision? Probably not.

However, the effect it had on the Bournemouth team was easily visible. Two yellow cards for apparent time wasting efforts, and the Cherries were lifted. Eddie Howe’s men could sense they could cause danger, and played without fear; something the Reds couldn’t handle.

Forest retreated and opted to play in their own half. Despite Matt Derbyshire’s introduction, those sitting in the Trent End could see nothing more than the number on the back of his shirt, as he disappeared off into the distance, attempting to help out the defence under intense pressure.

Whilst the introduction of a striker sent out all the right signals as he stood off the pitch, the moment he stepped onto it would’ve been a big moment for Eddie Howe, who was then given a license to the knowledge that Forest respected Bournemouth – but a little too much.

Having spent a fair amount of money over the past couple of summers, with the manager getting roughly the squad he requires, is it right for Forest to succumb to pressure so quickly?

Forest certainly don’t have the divine right to win, but surely the strength in the squad should mean Billy Davies can play in the fashion he wants. Adapting to game situations is fine, but inviting the pressure through deliberate deep tactics at home is something that can’t be happening if the club want automatic promotion.

QPR are sitting pretty in the automatic promotion places largely down to their brilliant record of single goal wins, but what have they got that Forest haven’t?

Very good players on very good wages, but that didn’t aid them last season. They’ve been able to form a character to enable them to squeeze out results in a professional manner, staying on the front foot, ensuring the opposition knew who was in control.

Forest need that air of authority in their play if they’re distance to themselves from the pack in the playoffs.

Another integral psychological factor for Billy Davies to consider will be the handling of the players and in particular his strikers, as the public frustration of the supporters is starting to grow, and the discontent at the likes of the £2 million Simon Cox starts to get louder.

The general feeling from the red side of the Trent is that Forest need a new striker, but before the month of January when the probable new hero enters the Graveyard for players of that position, answers for the performances of the current strikers need to be found.

Why is Cox putting in Torres-esque performances? The day he gets within a few yards of a goal will be the day many herald as progress, as he continues to struggle. As his form continues to spiral, starting from about a year ago, so does the patience of many fans.

Constantly applauded for his tireless work, his unconvincing and predictable nature in front of goal has cast a shadow and it’s down to Billy Davies to solve the mystery. Last season he said the strikers were blameless, due to the lack of service. This season couldn’t be more different, as chances are being created all over the place.

The mid-table phrase of “At least we’re creating chances” needs to be chucked out of the window and replaced with an unforgiving glare for anyone who does miss an opportunity.

The term ’20 goal a season striker’ is overused to extremes in some quarters. What Forest need, is a man in front of goal with some confidence.

That man could come from within. Whoever he turns out to be, Billy Davies needs to ensure Nottingham Forest are one of the leading pack, and with that may come the air of authority and confidence.

As Tottenham Hotspur begin to really start kicking on under Andre Villas-Boas, supporters are beginning to get a good idea as to which players are likely to form a cornerstone under the new set-up.

With the likes of Moussa Dembele and Jan Vertonghen settling in wonderfully alongside the existing talents of Gareth Bale et al, the overall make-up of Villas-Boas’ starting XI isn’t of any particular shock to the system. But already, there have been a couple of surprises along the way. And the Portuguese’s willingness to blood the fledgling talent of Andros Townsend so far this term has been one of the most refreshing ones.

Indeed, the Spurs youth conveyor belt has come to signify a palpable source of frustration for many at the club over the last few years. There can be no denying that Tottenham are producing some young players of real quality, but blooding them within the first team has proven a real problem in recent times at White Hart Lane. Perhaps only Jamie O’Hara and Jake Livermore represent Spurs’ real academy successes of recent times.

But this season seems to have marked something of a change. It is very early days indeed, but Andre Villas-Boas doesn’t seem scared to give youth a chance in N17 and even though Andros Townsend’s league appearances have amounted to a couple of brief cameos, it has sent out a genuinely positive message to all those residing in the youth ranks.

Because although two of Townsend’s four appearances in a Spurs shirt this season have come in cup competitions, most prominently, two of those appearances have been clocked up in the Barclays Premier League. Harry Redknapp can’t be knocked for fielding some of Spurs’ spectrum of youngsters in the Europa League, but it is the experience of league football that perhaps determines one of the most important phases in a young footballer’s development.

And If Townsend can continue to make an impact when given the chance by AVB, it might not be long before he’s offered the opportunity to make a name from himself from the off, rather than the substitute’s bench.

Where as the similar fleeting youth talents of John Bostock and Dean Parrett learnt elements of their craft elsewhere in the capital, there can be no denying that Townsend is just about a homegrown as you could possibly wish for. A lifetime Spurs fan and Chingford-born, Townsend joined the White Hart Lane club as a nine-year-old and is unquestionably Tottenham through and through. It’ s a trait that certainly won’t do him any harm in winning a bit of affection from the home support, anyway.

But although such a bit of trivia is usually rendered relatively useless, it seems quite poignant that Townsend’s love of Spurs isn’t massively uncommon knowledge for those who frequent White Hart Lane. Because although he’s only 21, it feels like he’s been in fans’ periphery for quite some time now. And in some respects, it seems surprising that it’s taken until this season for the left-winger to make his league debut for Spurs.

It was the March of 2009 when Townsend made the first of a staggering eight loan moves away from N17, with a spell in Somerset with Yeovil Town. Although he was only 17, it seems remarkable to think that it’s taken near on three and a half years for him to make a league cameo for his parent club. Supporters have continued to be treated to exciting glimpses of the youngster in the cup competitions, the first of which culminated in a goal and a man of the match performances against Charlton in the 2010-11 FA Cup.

But since then, it’s been somewhat frustrating to see him shipped out on loan all over the country in an attempt for him to attain some much needed minutes. Townsend has seemingly consistently produced the goods wherever he’s gone, but as opposed to being developed in house and given a road map for first team football, the club have chose to farm him around League One and then the Championship.

The value of course has seen Townsend rack up well-needed game time that he may not have received at White Hart Lane, especially not with the imposing figure of Gareth Bale in the team. But at times, it’s felt difficult to understand the motivations of the Spurs hierarchy in loaning him out – a move to Watford in 2011, in which the Hornets were desperate for a left-back as opposed to a left-winger, proved to be a complete waste of time, ending after only four weeks. Not all spells work out, but it has felt at times as if Townsend’s talents have been mismanaged.

But after a positive pre-season, Villas-Boas has chosen to keep hold of the young left-winger and it’s been so far so good for the 21-year-old. Against both Lazio and Carlisle he’s offered a real direct threat down the left-side, in the mould of a young Aaron Lennon with perhaps a more technically refined game. He’s racked up less than 10 minutes of Premier League football, but the fact is that Villas-Boas has been happy to blood him into the team. What that signifies to both Townsend and the rest of the academy cannot be underestimated.

Trying to displace Gareth Bale offers a somewhat insurmountable challenge, but the Villas-Boas set-up lacks the rigidity of his predecessor’s tactical blueprint. The three that AVB plays behind the loan frontman offers fluidity and the chance for experimentation and if Townsend can develop a real tactical nous under the manager, then there is no reason why his pace and delivery can’t be an asset from left to right. Most importantly, he offers something slightly different and another good dimension for the Portuguese to pick from.

It’s an exciting time for all in White Hart Lane at the moment, but the notion of young, homegrown talent complementing the manager’s new vision, is something that really captures the eye. No one can get carried away with the likes of Townsend and his youth colleagues, but having already made half as many appearances under Villas-Boas in four weeks as he did under Redknapp in three years, it must be time to be positive in N17.

How do you see Andros Townsend’s season shaping up at Spurs? Let me know what you think on Twitter: follow @samuel_antrobus to talk all things Townsend and Tottenham. 

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has become frustrated with being unable to select Eric Bailly on a regular basis and is open to the idea of showing the Ivorian the exit door this summer, according to the Independent.

Bailly is the only central defender currently on the books at Old Trafford who is close to the requisite quality and Mourinho must learn to show more patience and trust in him.

What’s the story, then?

The detailed report says that Mourinho is ‘fed up’ with how seldom he can call upon Bailly, owing to a variety of factors, including injury.

It goes on to say that means he will listen to offers for the man valued at £31.5m by Transfermarkt with a view to replacing him with Tottenham defender Toby Alderweireld.

It also says that while Mourinho believes Bailly has the attributes to be among the world’s best players in his position, his frustrations have led to him freezing the Ivorian out in the closing weeks of the season.

That treatment has reportedly baffled other members of the squad, but Bailly is not the only player Mourinho has ostracised – Anthony Martial is one talented player who has also struggled under the Portuguese.

Bailly has to stay

Bailly is the best centre-half currently on the books at Manchester United and it is only he and Victor Lindelof who have the right quality to form part of their defence if the club is serious about launching an assault on the very top of domestic and European football under Mourinho.

Almost like a modern Ledley King, Bailly has been airdropped into huge games – against Liverpool and Manchester City in 2018 most notably – without much in the way of match fitness and performed expertly; his pace in those games has been a particular boost.

Any move for Alderweireld has to see the Belgian come in as Bailly’s partner and as a mentor for Lindelof, who needs to improve to impress Mourinho after struggling to settle in his maiden season.

If any of Marcos Rojo, Phil Jones and Chris Smalling start the coming campaign at Old Trafford and Bailly does not, Mourinho will have made an awful decision that will jeopardise United’s title hopes before a ball has even been kicked.

According to reports in The Mirror, West Ham United manager David Moyes wants to sign Stoke City midfielder Joe Allen during the January transfer window.

What’s the word, then?

Well, The Mirror says that Moyes wants to reshape his team next month in order to ensure that they don’t find themselves in a relegation battle in the second-half of the season, and he has made the 27-year-old one of his top targets.

The Mirror says that the Scottish boss is keen on the Wales international as he can play as an attacking midfielder and a deep-lying midfielder, although the Irons may face a battle to get him given he is a key man for the Potters.

How has Allen done this season?

Even though Stoke – like West Ham – have been struggling down the wrong end of the Premier League table, the Welshman has been one of their most consistent performers in the middle of the park.

The 27-year-old has scored three goals and provided a further five assists in 20 appearances in all competitions for the Potters, and he netted and picked up an assist in the crucial 3-1 victory against West Bromwich Albion at home last week.

Would he be a good signing for West Ham?

He certainly would be.

Allen is probably one of the most underrated players in the Premier League and he doesn’t often let you down on the pitch.

That is a trait that Moyes will be well aware of and admire, and the Wales international is the sort of character he will want in his team if they do end up fighting against relegation later in the campaign.

Will they get him?

Given he is a key player for a side that is close to West Ham in the table, it will be difficult to prise him away in January – especially as his current contract runs until 2021.

Their success of bringing him to the London Stadium could depend on how much they are willing to offer Stoke for the midfielder, but they may be looking at upwards of £20m to try and get a deal over the line next month.

EA Sports’ FIFA 14 has launched with a bang with the help of some of the best footballers in the world.

The latest video from the best football game in the world shows stars of the game speeding along chasing huge screens as they play the new game. Among the players are Manchester United’s Javier Hernandez and former Tottenham star Gareth Bale.

Internationally acclaimed musician (and footballers’ favourite) Drake even makes an appearance! But the man keeping them all on their toes is the person driving the FIFA 14 van – none other than Lionel Messi.

If you haven’t played it yet, FIFA 14 is a huge leap forward into the world’s most popular football franchise.

Players and stadiums are more realistic, every blade of grass, drop of sweat and kick of dirt is recorded in glorious high definition and that’s before you even get to the gameplay!

While harder than previous games, the rewards for getting it right in FIFA 14 are part of the beauty. Build-up play needs to be more meticulous, passes more accurate, shots crisper and decisions quicker. That said, when it all comes together there is no feeling quite like it.

Shooting has had a makeover too, meaning whatever position your player is in, the speed in which he is approaching the ball and whether he is right or left footed has a huge effect. Players will actually change their stride in order to get a clean strike of the ball meaning top corner worldys are possible – and oh so satisfying.

Check out the video below to whet your appetite, but don’t just take our word for it, EA Sports FIFA 14 is out now so what are you waiting for? Go get a copy!

[cat_link cat=”premiership” type=”grid”]

This week we will be treated to another instalment of the Capital One Cup and with the Premier League’s big six entering at the third round stage, we will finally catch a glimpse of everybody competing in this year’s competition.

The League Cup is now associated with squad rotations, exciting cross-divisional encounters and experimental management. These ingredients pave the way for a competitive knockout regime where we not only gain a sneak preview of the future in terms of younger players being blooded, but also a unique opportunity for top flight clubs to play against a wider array of opponents from the Football League, adding a diversity to the fixture scheduling and in many cases the chance of a potential banana skin for the ‘big’ teams in the country.

Recently, several managers have emphasised the importance of the competition in terms of giving a platform for their younger and utility based players to audition for a more regular berth and this is important in the modern day game.

A lot is made of the congested opportunities for youth to break through in England and refreshingly, the Capital One Cup often throws up unlikely mixed rosters which fans of the respective clubs can go home and think about in an entirely unique fashion.

For example, during West Ham United’s 2-0 victory over League One Crewe Alexandra in round two, Sam Allardyce selected the likes of French Euro 2012 star Alou Diarra in defence with development pair Jordan Spence and Dan Potts also receiving an education alongside the experienced 31-year-old of 44 Les Bleus caps.

In contrast to Diarra’s experience, Potts is just 18, has featured four times from the start of his career for the Hammers and has only just made his breakthrough at England Under-19 level.

If it weren’t for the League Cup, where else would we witness such diversity in a first eleven?

Many Manchester United fans are likely to receive their first sight of late Chilean arrival Angelo Henriquez in the Red Devils third round game against Newcastle this week. There could also be further opportunities for Alexander Buttner, Will Keane and Portuguese talent Bebe who made his initial breakthrough in the competition in September 2010, scoring in a 5-2 victory over Scunthorpe United at Glanford Park and is since back from a loan spell with Besiktas.

In this fashion, the experimental nature of the League Cup is great for fans to receive an invigorated sense of squad depth in their mind but also for managers who may reap the added value of seeing a developmental squad member grasping an opportunity amidst the testing environment of an intimidating lower league venue or stepping out and turning on the flair admirably in front of a well-attended floodlit arena.

These demanding surroundings, as provided by the Capital One Cup, are the ideal setting for managers to truly gain a valid insight as to whether to press the metaphorical rejection button or rise to their feet in applause in true ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ fashion.

Tottenham’s Steven Caulker, who is now receiving more and more chances with the first team under Andre Villas-Boas, made his Spurs debut in the League Cup back in September 2010 and was particularly lambasted for his underwhelming display in a disappointing 4-1 home defeat to arch-rivals Arsenal with defensive lapses proving his unfortunate undoing on the night.

This could have been the end for the now Team GB star but this accelerated blooding forced Harry Redknapp’s hand in loaning him out and he has since successfully negotiated a football education in loan spells at Yeovil, Bristol City and Swansea. He is now considered a fine prospect and a potential heir to Ledley King in the eyes of many punditry panels.

This is just one example of how experimenting in the League Cup has forged a conclusion and thereafter another choice in the long-term planning of the club management.

We are all set for the third round of this year’s competition and fans can be assured of highly entertaining and unpredictable knockout ties.

Jurgen Klopp had a decision to make ahead of the visit of Brighton because his players had failed to make the club’s place in the Champions League safe.

Should he go all out for victory or keep some of his players back for the Champions League final? He had already lost Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain to injury but he decided to go for the victory with his best team, with one notable exception.

Dominic Solanke – valued at £7.2m by Transfermarkt – got the nod as Klopp bolstered his attacking line with another frontman in pursuit of the point that would see the Reds take their seat at Europe’s top table next season.

However, the Liverpool fans did not see it as a good thing and do not seem to want Solanke anywhere near the team for such a crucial game.

We’ve taken a closer look at some of the more hostile reaction towards the former Chelsea forward’s inclusion…

West Ham have often prided themselves on nurturing their own talent but in recent years, there’s been a real lack of academy products breaking through in east London. Bucking that trend, however, is young midfielder-come-defender Declan Rice – since making his debut on the final day of last season, the 18-year-old has made eleven appearances for the Hammers.

But the Republic of Ireland U21 has found opportunities a little harder to come by since David Moyes replaced Slaven Bilic in November, an appointment that signified the Hammers are well and truly involved in the relegation battle.

With that in mind, we asked West Ham fans earlier today whether Rice should be issued a start in the League Cup against Arsenal this evening. And according to our exclusive poll, a whopping 94% want to see the promising youngster included in Moyes’ starting XI at the Emirates Stadium.

How would you line up the Irons tonight, West Ham fans? Let us know by commenting below…

Coventry fans have definitely got a long season ahead of them. Having entered administration, endured relegation in to League one, and now be faced with a 10-point penalty for the campaign, it will be very tough for the Sky Blues to avoid consecutive relegations, and drop down in to the 4th tier of English football. All this because Coventry had financial difficulties within their club, and could no longer sustain their wage budgets and other expenses. The real blow for the club was struck when arguing over the rent of the clubs stadium.

Having received these points, Coventry are sitting at the foot of the table, on -7 points after 2 games. A loss on the opening day of the season would have done no wonders to the fans, however a scintillating 5-4 victory over Bristol City last Sunday has at least started their journey to reaching positive figures.

Now, the question remains on quite how useful the point penalty on football teams are. Does it really serve any purpose other than twisting the knife on a team already at its lowest point? Granted, it should impose some sort of penalty on clubs who do not stay within their means, however are all cases treated equally, and perhaps should the FA consider how they hand out the punishments.

Plenty of teams since the turn of the Millennium have succumbed to the same fate as Coventry just have, and most of them are still struggling to return to where they once were. Leeds were the first to stumble with this, and were forced to sell some of their best players, whilst simultaneously slipping from Premier Division football down the leagues. They were initially handed a 10-point deduction in May 2007, followed swiftly by a further 15 points at the start of the next season. This meant that a club once known as being one of the best in Europe were now in League One. Luton Town similarly were dealt a bitter blow by the FA, and it is one which still resonates around the club. They were handed a 10-point deduction in the 2007-2008 campaign, whilst in League 1, which secured their fate in dropping down to the fourth tier of English football, before being handed a monstrous 30-point deduction at the start of the 2008-2009 season. A penalty of this magnitude is near enough relegating a team before the season even starts, and on the face of it seems extremely harsh by the FA. Moreover Portsmouth, who won the FA Cup merely in 2008 are now dwindling down in League 2.

It is certainly one thing to punish a club, but to force relegation without even leaving the club with a fighting chance? That surely cannot be justified. Luton are still down in the Conference, spending their 5th season in the league, and whilst they may have now achieved a slightly more secure financial state, they were left to rot by the FA.

Several teams have suffered the pain of points deductions, and as such relegations, but perhaps these punishments could be given on a fairer basis for all clubs involved. Rather than dishing out point penalties for example, a ban on promotion could be imposed for a certain number of seasons. This way, the club has the ability to start rebuilding, whilst maintaining enough of a lure to keep some of the important players within the squad. If the team who has the ban on them finished 2nd in the league, then the team in 3rd would take the automatic spot. Of course it would be possible to be relegated, but it would ensure that these clubs have a fighting chance to stay in the league and rebuild. In most cases it is former chairman who have brought the wrath on the club, and they are no longer there to take the medicine. It is the fans who suffer the most, as well as the board members who in most cases are new, and therefore knocking them down straight away is not the ideal situation.

Of course, there are several teams who play in the lower leagues who stay within their means financially who have never entered financial difficulties who may find this article slightly bemusing. If a club messes up, they should get punished for it, which is completely understandable. I just feel that the FA should punish them, but not grind the club in to the ground at the same time. A different approach should certainly be tried by the FA, or at least considered just to see quite how different the implications are on the teams involved.

The idea of banning promotion seems like an ideal solution. It leaves all teams happy, as it will not prevent the financially sound squads from getting promoted, whilst similarly it does leave economically stricken teams with a fighting chance of survival, and ultimately that is what the FA should want in their leagues.

Queens Park Rangers midfielder Samba Diakite has rubbished reports from major news outlets that he is suffering from depression and has returned to France to combat the problem, the Daily Mirror reports.

Diakite joined the West London club permanently in the summer after an impressive loan spell last season, but news was circulating yesterday that the Malian was not well. Diakite was as surprised as everyone else when he saw the newspapers for the first time and gave RMC Sport in France his initial reaction.

“I am going very well. I don’t have any problem, I was just a bit tired in the last few days,” Diakite said.

“My club had authorised me to spend three days in Paris. But I am not depressed!”

“My club is my job, it is my employer, I keep them updated every day.”

“As soon as I woke up this morning, on opening the newspapers I learnt that some were saying that I was depressed. I am now in London and I was at training today, so for me it is unbelievable.”
