Forest v Bees Match Reports

And you can see AJ asking for the ball after ref gives it...you are one of my favourite players of all time judgie, but move "away' from the penalty spot :)

Not being picky but he is telling Toral to take it I think

Forest v Bees Match Reports

Great to be on a coach instead of car or train although nightmare journey back with M1 closures, I felt sorry for the driver. Got back to car after 2 to find it covered in ice, winter is really here!
Brilliant atmosphere all round, some electrifying play from the Bees and I now feel a bit more confident in our pens.

Only downside were the 3 or 4 elderly gents behind us, pleasant enough but when we had a bit of a sticky spell in the second half their moaning reached fever pitch. If I sat in front of them at GP I'd lose the will to live!

Douglas now out for Millwall with booking?

Beating Forest away......no big deal really.....lol...You Reds...

After everything that has gone on, how can we still be going into games with players not knowing who the designated penalty taker is?

Pritchard said he said he wanted to be on pens

I can't stop smiling. Sheer panic had set in after Bolton but now all is good !!

Great night, frigging cold though. It looked to me like there was easily more than 900 travelling Bees - perhaps 1300-1400. Best chant of the night was "we're going up with the Derby"

Good to go in 2-0 up at half time and as others have said, 3-0 at the start of the second half screwed up Pearce's come back plans!

Let them keep thinking, we are little old Brentford - here to make up the numbers.... they'll learn!

No need to panic after Bolton and no need to think we're going to be promotion candidates on the back of two excellent wins. This season was always going to be a roller coaster from one week to the next, it was a case of strap in and enjoy the ride. Don't over react to a couple of defeats and the same for a couple of victories.

We're here in the Championship on merit, we can compete with anyone in the division on our day and we have a superb young squd and management team and owner who will only get better and better. It's a good time to be a Bee that's for sure.

What a night, it feels like we are the unwanted family bod that turns up at xmas, weddings and funerals, the gobby little fecker who gets right on your nerves, I enjoy that, slapping down the big boys with the brand of football we're playing is simply stunning, any proper football fans in the home ends last night would say that we footballed them to death, any idiot would say that Forest gave us the game.
 

Forest v Bees Match Reports

Gives JD a rest at least which he may have needed soon anyhow

They all get another break after this weekend anyway, he'll just get an extra few days! ;)

No game after Millwall until the 21st November when we meet, erm..... who is it now? Damn, forgotten their name, someone local I think....... :shrug:

Forest v Bees Match Reports

The geezer on Sky Sports doing the live reports was a joke. Just after half time " If Forest score now and make it 2-1 Brentford could buckle under the pressure "... Then it was 3-0.... " Forest need to score soon and they could be back in the game "... When Forest did score... " There are still 5 minutes left and there will be lots of added on time" ..... Well done mate, good unbiased reporting, you must have been gutted :) :) :)

Good comment by Peter Beagrie the other night on FL72....."Bournemouth and Brentford in the Premier League,now that would be interesting "
Beagrie always gives us some praise tbh and has said quite a few times that we deserve we bw where we are .

That's how I saw it.

Still buzzing on this today. Gutted that Dougie's missing for Sat, but who knows, maybe a rest will do him good. Anyone know how bad the knock on Moses was?
 

Forest v Bees Match Reports

Love the interplay in the lead up to the penalty as well as Gray's run. Sublime
 

Forest v Bees Match Reports

Don't worry about it: it suits us quite nicely to be dipping under the radar. I like the fact that opposing fans only realise we are not 'little Brentford' any more after we have given their team a sound beating! :D

Millwall fans are falling into the same trap.
 

Forest v Bees Match Reports

in the last few months we have beaten all four of the teams Brian Clough managed in the top two divisions. This pleased me.
 

Forest v Bees Match Reports

What a result! We'll all remember, remember this 5th of November for some time to come. Every player was excellent. Moses seems to be a more attacking threat from RB than in midfield. Toral's pass for Douglas's miss in the first half was either a fluke or sheer flipping genius. If Gray had scored in the 2nd half it could have been one of the goals of the season. Button was immense.

I thought I might have a horrid journey through the foggy fields of Lincolnshire back to Hull but it was surprisingly ok. Seems the majority of you had a torrid time heading back to the London. Hope you're all well today. Great support.

FL72 Midweek Review a disgrace!! Didn't even mention Brentford were playing Forest when showing the goals, all the emphasis was on how bad the home team were.
Only a congrats as an after thought.....shame on you Sky!!

Always going to go that with Gary Birtles on the panel. Still a shame

Who do we think will replace JD on Saturday, not sure we have a natural replacement for him with Mac injured, I think Tarky could probably do a job there but would
be out of position? Thoughts?

It was indeed a disgrace. For every other match they had talked about both teams, whether they won or lost, how their season had gone and what the prospects were in the next few weeks. For us it was 'We should just mention Brentford, just 2 points off the play offs'

Birtles didnt even have the good grace to say good finish for Toral or Gray's goals Git
 

Forest v Bees Match Reports

Bees on Fire as Forest burnt

A chilly night on the Trent for all at the City ground but the Brentford faithful were warmed by the sizzling show Warburton's team put on last night.

If Preston Away last season was a statement of how the Breadman was going to do things, then last night was show to the footballing snobs of Premiership and beyond that the new world order of the Championship is not about how big your club name or history is but how you play and boy did we play.

Jota was dropped for Pritchard, a masterstroke by the Breadman. Two luxury players has not worked on our travels but one flair player provided the fireworks last night. After quietening the crowd, Brentford exploded into life, Moses sprinted forward 25 yards, into Gray, back to Moses, a clatter of bodies into Moses, the ball fell to Toral 16 yards out, who sizzled a left footed pearler into the top right corner. Nil 1 another goal from the classy Spaniard.

Then sub Lichaj who came on for the injured Hunt who had clattered Moses, head down no checking, first touch passed short and back to Darlow, Andre stood in between and accepted his early Christmas present and danced round Darlow and shot home from 12 yards. Nil 2 and the boos rung round the City ground as the Bees danced and celebrated. Manager Pearce arms folded, outfoxed by our Games Master :cool:

We were a league above Forest on the night, Toral to Douglas, a brilliant through ball and Douglas side footed wide from 8 yards, a harder to miss than score moment. Forest defence breached more often than the ports of Calais. Next Judge as brilliant as ever, skinned Lichaj and stood a ball up for Toral to head in from 6 yards, header blocked, Toral head in hands, next Gray intercepted Laschelles back pass and Darlow made a fine blocked save. Forest at Sixes and sevens as we should have been at sixes or sevens up at the break. :looks:

Forest were pants and their pants were being pulled down in a footballing master class, we were scintillating. Pritchard his best game for the Bees, inventive, clever and tricky our Artful dodger picking every midfielders pocket, post match every Forest fan I spoke to asked me who the midget No.21 was. Toumani and Douglas ran through Ince and Lansbury like two bullies in the school playground, Lansbury nutted Dean who fell like a Royal Oak and sprung back up to tell Lansbury a few words anglo saxon words of wisdom. :D

Assombalonga warmed up on his own at half time as the City ground resembled a library of stunned silence to their side being schooled by the Bees. A few minutes in and another triangle of passes and Douglas placed Gray away, Andre panther like, pounced and ran Wilson round the outside, hauled down, definite penalty. Pritch took the ball and placed it down the middle, we all roared, 3 nil up away at the former Double European Champions, this was history of a different kind, this success tasted very sweet. :)

Gray twisted Mancienne this way and that, the Forest captain doing a poor mans Chubby Checker routine as he held his head for a foul or was it dizziness as Gray pawed forward and past him and forced Darlow into a top turnaround. More pass and move and Pritch to Judge who curled a beaut from 20 yards past the right upright.

In between Forest smacked a few shots in, Button saved brilliantly from Antonio 20 yard sizzler and Fox pinged a 20 yarder in. Toral took a knock, replaced by Jota, Andre by Big Nick and Dallas at right back for Moses as the Breadman shuffled his ingredients.

Antonio cut inside from Jota and blitzed one past Button from 30 yards, another worldly, but we were not to be outdone, whistle blown and we celebrated on a very special night.

Our team is gelling before our eyes, Button superb, Craig and Harlee immense, Moses our new right back and king of assists, Jake as good as ever. Douglas, Judge, Pritch and Toumani a fantastic cocktail in the middle with Toral proving a goal scoring addition of flair and intelligence. Gray, one of his best games, this boy is gonna be worth some money. Pace power and a goal plus penalty assist on the night. This is the house that :warbs: built, it has the foundations and we are going to create mayhem over the next few months.

Fantastic days to be a Bee, Derby and Forest despatched in 4 days, we have not had it this good in most of our lifetimes. On to 'Wall on Saturday and Saturday can't come soon enough. Supporting the Bees is not being on a rollercoaster anymore we are on a juggernaut gathering speed that is scattering the big boys like nine pins all over the Championship wasteland. Full steam ahead, this journey is not gonna stop for a little while yet. Get on board, it's the most fun any of us have had in years! :wave:

The write up in the Times today said their defeat was largely due to them making errors. No credit to us whatsoever:confused:

I have not seen it . But it look like Beagrie was not on it . If he had of been it would he would have given us some credit . He did on monday's show when the talked about us beating Derby . That Birtles is a forest fan and former player.

Forest v Bees Match Reports

WE know how good we are, so I can't be concerned about the "once famous" that commentators get so teary-eyed about. As long as these clubs have 'off days', make 'defensive errors', have 'decisions go against them' and have 'selection issues' and we win games, then I can't complain.

Was last night's gate the biggest we have played in front of this season?
If so, for how many of the boys would it have been the biggest crowd they played in front of?
Yeovil at Wembley would cover off a lot of them, but for how many others?
