I think you call that a spirited performance. We stayed in it although we never truly looked like we could mount any kind of late fight back. Brighton are very good. Today they scored a worldie and a penalty and we had ten men. Many teams would...
Agree we have to learn all over the pitch - easy to say but far harder to do in the heat of the game. I maintain KLPs is a 40/60 decision but he simply has to stop and find another way because two refs now don't like it whatever we think.
On the contrary I think Thiago wore them down and overcame them. He gets zero support from the ref and on days like today very little service from his mates. I thought he played very well.
Igor for me. He chased, harried and almost single handedly pushed Forest back after their bright start to the second half. Whipped up the East Stand moments before his goal. Today was going to be a battle and he was right at the heart of it.
Very poor match with very little quality on show. Delighted with the win. Forest need to freshen up their team. Some familiar faces are playing way below their former levels which is great to see.
For our part we were sloppy for much of the game...
Every now and again you get a game when you concede then concede again. Normally we don't. Normally we stay in games and fight our way back. Yesterday was one of those where we couldn't. The goals were very poor. Taps in on the goal line are...
So far the league is really competitive. I have seen Sunderland three times (v us, Arsenal and Leeds). They are bottom and yet played really well in all three games. There are no dead ducks yet this year but injuries will bite and this is where...
Very poor on TV. The times I have wished we played in red and white stripes away and haven't and yet yesterday we did when there was a clash (of sorts). Incidentally I am moaning as a viewer not saying it was necessarily a problem in the ground...
