  • Watched on Sky......disappointed - Yes, but hey 8 points from 4 games....that's a good return for a promoted club. We could, and probably should, have buried them first half but we didn't take out chances. However let's not be too critical, we have some very good players to join the squad....the way we played first half was outstanding. We will learn from this and improve...we have the 2 Israeli lads to come in yet.....this could be a very exciting season.....play-offs anyone?

    I think we got tired. Given our pre-season and the fact August is still a getting up to speed - fitness wise month - i think it is a positive. Maybe, we got a sense of what is to come. Quite exciting if true.
  • Good point. Can't forget Field was lucky to stay on and not concede a pen 
  • Must stress at this point as well that the subs had absolutely nothing to do with their goal. Nothing at all. The goal was caused by Lockey making a mistake in dealing with the ball in and it dropping incredibly favourably for Adomah. It's not like a spare man popped up while Pratley was ambling onto the field. Blaming the sub for the goal is a total red herring
    Regardless or not its a big no no, said it to the bloke sitting next to me before they took it, it just makes people not aware of their jobs. 
    FACT
    Lockyer left Adomah to block the ball in and his block dropped to Adomah.

    Watch it again. The ball bounced off Lockyer and Adomah reacted but Pratley didn't. I wonder if Field would have got there as he was on the pace of the game? 
  • 2 point average will see us to safety. 
  • Yep Deji could be very useful this season.
  • I have misjudged Oshi. Great game. Time to be a specialist, not utility.  £3m to Boro in January.

    Watched from sofa , thought it was a real exciting game and a decent atmosphere came across the telly .
    They even tried on Sky , badly, to block out the swearing during songs with a blurry noise in the background , mainly when we were singing “you’re fucking  shit”

    pretty sure after about half hour sky put up some stats we had 6 attempts and 3 on target and I think forest were 0 on both at that point but come the end of the game we had only one more shot off target and forest had had a load , didn’t feel that way but it is what it is (someone who has taped it can correct me ) 

    Fields challenge on Ameobi would have had needed the thames barrier up if that had been the other way round .

    really enjoyed the match and dare I say it we look decent , I’m scared to almost think we should stay up !
    the scum losing is good news as well 

    more importantly our rightful Championship position of “we’re still 5th” has arrived  
  • Great first half and o/s tackle by Lockyer to prevent a goal.

    Ran out of steam second half and poor defending at a corner cost us.

    Oshilaja looked very solid and Cullen was outstanding. Oztumer looks useful.

    Sarr far better than I expected.

    We have to accept that this is a bloody strong squad Bowyer has somehow put together. It is going to get fitter and stronger. The football we played in the first half was better than all the so called Championship favourites are capable of. Those that haven't worked out he is special will be there or there abouts by now, including dare I say it, Roland.
  • A lot of Premier League teams would have been up against it for the first 40 minutes. We just did not get a second. Looked tired as second half went on. Lucky Forest goal but they should have had a pen.
