Nottingham Forest banter 5

Look to come back from a goal down is an achievement.

01 Nov 2025 22:37:06
This is true

And in style. Wonder what SD said at HT.

02 Nov 2025 01:43:26
Indeed! This is true …. it’s clearly going to be a long way back….

01 Nov 2025 21:50:24
Like buses.

We don't score for 5 weeks. Then get 2 in a minute.
Loads near me missed both goals after half time. Coming back saying who scored. I'm like "Which one".

More of the same next Sundsy please.

01 Nov 2025 21:32:48
We should have scored at least 2 goals in the first half an hour but yet again we look lost for ideas and finishing power in their box. Jesus, Ndoye just haven't got it at this level. We looked better when Yates came on and he had a solid game. Ndoye was shocking today and gave a 3/ 10 performance, he was dreadful in the 2nd half - Dyche needs to have a chat with him about raising his performance level massively. Jesus also looked totally ineffective in the first half. We don't appear to be able to keep possession and close a game out.

I blame Savona for their first goal - didn't run fast enough or try hard enough to keep the ball in play to prevent the corner then there would have been no doubt whether the ball was in play or not. Man Utd were average in the first half and there for the taking - worst I've seen a United team. We have to improve and start scoring more goals or were going down! Draw about a fair result but must be more clinical against Leeds. Disappointing.

So dud gibbs white rhr.

01 Nov 2025 22:38:35
Bloody RHR.

I'm glad your not my boss.

02 Nov 2025 13:48:05
He did chase after the ball as quick as he could and kept it in, what's he supposed to do, jump on a motorbike?

Forest played well against a team who would have gone 2nd if they won, well done Forest and really pleased for Yates as he put in a great shift when called in and got an assist, really pleased for him.

01 Nov 2025 21:14:03
Are you not entertained? Cracking game and a point apiece was a fair result overall imo!
What did I tell you in my tactical analysis pre match? Crosses going in, goals being scored. Wait until Woody gets back, he'll thrive on the set pieces and crosses.
Also, hats off to Yates. Perfect replacement for Luiz, gave his all and allowed Anderson to run the show in midfield.


Still a work in progress but this was chalk and cheese after Bournemouth. A vast improvement which we need to build on.
Just shows what a weeks coaching and drilling can do. Still set pieces causing us problems but it will come comrades!
I'll even allow myself a tentative drink or two now I'm fed and home ?.

01 Nov 2025 23:06:40
Enjoy the drink or three Stokey. Personally, I'm still 'dry' here after my birthday antics! No geese entering our house since BTW!

Totally agree with your post. 'Chalk and cheese' indeed. With SD and his style of play, I think Yates should be the first name on the team sheet.

02 Nov 2025 06:32:28
Well said Stokey mate. well said ? ?.

01 Nov 2025 19:45:26
Well, I have to admit that today's game was a bit of a surprise to me Reds. Even though my dodgy stick was playing-up again, I saw enough of a game today that was a lot more entertaining than I thought it would be. I think, generally, we held our own fairly well against a quality team 'on the up'.

Certainly not a great performance by Forest IMO. But, definitely an improvement. I have hope again.

01 Nov 2025 18:46:38
Bless the Irish diamond, just wanna highlight your unbelievable, trust and respect to the club young man. I've always called ya the diamond. Never (really) get mixed up in the to and fros between a lot on here, always adding a smile.

Be proud son. As I am of ya. because theirs to many downers on here. And you my friend just bring a smile to. (Again my opinion) ????.

01 Nov 2025 18:59:30
Cheers Bowie mate.
As Cloughie said "I hope no one. " well ya know the rest.
Anderson ran that midfield today, and nearly got the winner, we certainly brought United back down to earth.
We'll be up for Leeds now, no doubt about that.


Was down at my Mother in Laws chopping logs this afternoon.
Knew we went one down, so we were heading home, and I turn on the radio!
2-1!
Wife says "Your like bloody Del Boy, when he realises he's a millionaire! "
Car was shaking!
???.

01 Nov 2025 19:20:10
Luv ya young man ❤️ I said on live chat, something like, I can hear the prawn crisp sarnie squad now we've scored a couple, (way I am, wanna see them fingers) not a proud day today reds, as forest but my, as gazz will tell ya more than proud of my laddie.

Btw big thumbs up to percy main amateurs putting up great food (hot dog £1.70) pint of Stella £3.80. Or so my mate told me only had one. But most of all. Full on high strength football. Lads just giving it all for nothing. Proud dad.

01 Nov 2025 19:37:43
Im sure you are mate!

01 Nov 2025 18:30:50
Missed 1st half, watching my boy in the postponed, bene bowl cup, top 16 ranked, are entered outside the northern league basically. Most prestigious cup. Hazelrigg my boys team, losing 2-0 1st half, came back to 2-2 and my boy scores the winner on penalties. And bye the looks of it motm, I get back to watch forest. 2-1 up. Reds i seen players earlier playing from there hearts, to watching a team of individuals.

I hate it all, don't get me wrong, far from our worst, but, as I keep telling ya the players just are not putting what they are getting paid for. And my statement of the night, from hero to zero. I just hope big m isn't messing with players mind's. Fck off now big laddie. Leave football to the management. Not proud. Just frustrated. FTID.

01 Nov 2025 18:20:37
Carry on playing like that and we will be fine! Get Woody fit and firing and the goals will flow. Cheated again with their first goal, why VAR doesn't check it is ridiculous and levelled up by a worldie, no keeper is saving that rocket. A good performance against an inform team who've just won three on the bounce.

Savona is a find ain't he? Get the fitness levels up, the goals in the onion bag, points on the board and the City Ground will be rocking again. Shame about the injury to Luiz, hope it's not too bad.

01 Nov 2025 18:59:32
Savona gets better each game.

01 Nov 2025 19:49:41
Agree about Savona - I had my doubts at first, but he certainly seems to be stepping up to the plate now.

01 Nov 2025 22:09:24
Blame edu for signing him ?.

01 Nov 2025 23:38:50
Agree with your sarcasm DTP! Savona looks like a very good signing.

01 Nov 2025 17:31:47
Better performance today. Cheated out of that first goal of theirs., replays showed it wasn't wholly over the line. About time VAR got involved on that side of things.

Anyway.
Anderson was immense today - MOM surely?
As was CHO.
Savona played his best game.

Defence was awful though for both goals and that really needs working on.

Worrying though is that we are now 4 points from safety. It's creeping up. Early days but we cannot afford to drop further away.

01 Nov 2025 18:24:00
Forest had their Mojo back. They played well and fought. I agree Anderson was superb and if I were Amorin he would be the top of my list for Christmas. Savona I also agree played well.

Sels is excellent on the ground but poor in the air. It’s true it was not a corner, but that is no excuse to the poor defending. This is a step in the right direction without a doubt.

01 Nov 2025 19:03:40
Was good to see them playing and competing today, decent result could of been a win. I don't think SD will make same mistake and play same team vs Sturm Graz, hopefully will give fringe players a go and tell them to show him why he should select them for next PL match, which is a what you could call a 6 pointer!

01 Nov 2025 21:41:47
The team Sean Dyche put out says keeping in the Premier is paramount and the Europa cup is kicked into the long grass, definitely see a very different team on Thursday against Graz, then who knows!.

01 Nov 2025 17:26:25
Got to be happy with that overall, especially 2nd half.

Savona looks like a player.

MGW much better today. CHO looked dangerous throughout.

Only concerns. Conceding from a corner, again! and Sels flapping at the ball in the last minute when he should have caught it.

Overall carry on performing like that and we will be fine.

01 Nov 2025 18:08:28
A few on here basically said we'd get slaughtered.
Far better performance today, I'd more than fancy our chances v Leeds.

01 Nov 2025 18:16:18
We need to give some of our key players a rest on Thursday.

Use some of the players we spent all that money on.

Leeds us a massive game. A replica of today's performance should lead to 3 points.

Don't fall in to the same trap we did for Boutnemouth game.

01 Nov 2025 17:06:41
Draw at home and lose away- a recipe for relegation if ever there was one.

01 Nov 2025 17:45:03
We drawn against one of the in form teams and lost to another in form team away give it a rest another fan that was wanting nuno to go again you reap what you sow ? dyche will do ok and I'm not worried about relegation he needs time like any manager.

and good luck to him cause he's took job on when nobody else would touch it.

01 Nov 2025 14:33:21
Like that team He's picked today

Savone has looked better at RB in the last couple of games Sels playing behind a more settled back 4

Luis and Anderson sound in midfield but Ndoye Gibbs White and Odoi need to up their game and start providing chances for Jesus.

01 Nov 2025 16:57:29
We were brilliant second half!
WE WILL BE FINE!
FTID!

01 Nov 2025 17:04:47
Never a corner for United's equaliser.
What about Murrilo's clearance!
Yet again always where he needs to be.

01 Nov 2025 14:23:42
1 goal in 7 games is it?
That is the key stat that has to change if we are to avoid relegation (as obvious as it sounds) and I have to think that SD will make us tighter at back.


Time to see if we can score without Wood, as that’s been a rare thing in Prem, albeit attacking players is where we’ve spent the lions share of our as yet unproven £190m.
Good luck today.

01 Nov 2025 15:56:33
We are making chances just can not score!, becoming desperate and seems it's getting to the players and snatching at shots.

01 Nov 2025 16:13:06
Absolutely Brilliant, see it's EASY UREDS.

02 Nov 2025 09:24:35
AcAgen we scored two mate. Also scored in Europe. Squad is short on confidence and structure, fitness also an issue apparently. Stoked on the performance, sort out set piece defence, aina, Dominguez, wood back, we will be strong.
