  I was actually surprised Robert Tesche played for Nottingham Forest against Brighton on Friday. A couple of things surprised me, and that was one of them.He doesn't dominate a game and he doesn't look comfortable on the ball at all. You don't want him on the ball a lot, but you want him to be comfortable and you'd like him to get forward. That's the only way we can win games.I don't think he'll be too big a miss if he is out for a long time with a broken foot, although when you have got a small.

It's okay if you play him alongside Dexter Blackstock, but if you do that you have to play four in midfield. And the reason we put five in there is because four can't do it.
