Nottingham Forest defeat to Norwich must put an end to midfield dysfunction
With lots of new players ༺to blend into hi💟s squad, it has been something of an experimental campaign so far for Nottingham Forest boss Aitor Karanka.
The Reds splashed the cash i🐻n the summer with several new players arriving at the City Ground in an attempt to try and bolster a push towards the Premier League.
Saturday’s defeat to Norwich was only the se🦩cond of the campaign for ꧅Forest but it indicated a firm sign that Karanka isn’t totally sure on what his best starting line-up is just yet.
One problematic issu🅘e for him to try and ♛come up with a solution for is in the middle of the park where Jack Colback and Ben Watson have seemed incapable of working in tandem.
The question of whether the partnership works reared its ugly head once more on Saturday, with🥀 their presence on the pitch together stifling any real creativity🐈 that the Reds might have hoped to throw at their opponents.
It has to be said that the pair worked well 🌞in unison during a recent victory over Middlesbrough. It is now quite clear, however, that Watson and Colback simply cannot play together when the Reds are at the City Ground.
With lots ofꦍ varying options in the middle of the park for Karanka to choose from it seems far more logical that he picks a more attacking player to♔ play alongside either Watson or Colback in the future.
If nothing else, the defeat to Norwich City should at least have ꧙gone a long way towards 🔥putting the midfield conundrum to bed for the Forest boss.
