Brilliant best feeling all season, almost there comon Palace tomorrow.

Game of two halves?
Love Vitor, he sees he's made a mistake and rectifies it, Bakwa.
Piss poor first half, but playing MGW out wide and playing Jesus as number ten shows a plan ABC and D.
Well be fine.

Just recently got home DTP. It was a game of two thirds to a third rather than 2 halves, mate.
In the first hour, their keeper didn't have a shot to save. I mentioned my pre-match sense of dread about this game on a post this morning, and it looked like I was right. MGW shinned a sitter wide on the hour. I'd got my head in my hands at this point, and remarked to my neighbour in BC Upper that we wouldn't score if we played all night. We looked knackered, clueless, one-paced, and they looked dangerous every time they counter-attacked.
Fifteen minutes later it was 3-1, and our captain had scored a hat trick.
The Red Bull advert is wrong when it claims to give you wings. It's goals that do that. From being dead on our feet we could have won by 5 or 6. A term turn around.
Shame on you all that booed the lads off at half time.

Entitled know it alls with no faith. They should try playing 4 games in 10 days at this level.
Anyway, more points gained from a losing position. Long way to go yet, but we managed (eventually) to bank our banker. I expect Spurs to beat Wolves next up and claw 3 points back, whilst we have a tough one at Sunderland. Tomorrow I'm a Palace fan. Our heads are above water, advantage us, but VP is doing a great job with the hand he's been dealt.
By the way, the pre-match tribute by Ando to his Mum was very, very moving. Lump in the throat time. I just wondered how many hours that lovely lady had spent taxiing the lad to games and training sessions, plus standing in the freezing cold by the side of muddy pitches. She must have been very proud of him.
Finally, a little nudge from MGW to Tommy Turtle for a seat on the plane to the US?

For all we know, they could have been feeling the effects from what Elliot was going through... Must have been hard to focus, after the little ceremony on the halfway line, when you think about it.

19 Apr 2026 19:38:32
Should have taken Bakwa off after half an hour. Totally out of his depth, MGW had to go over and cover for him. Don't want to see him on our pitch again.

19 Apr 2026 20:13:11
No coach does that, Redvale.
Enjoy the victory you predicted?

19 Apr 2026 21:03:00
It was plain to see Bakwa was out of his depth after ten minutes. It was embarrassing to see MGW covering for him. But I don't care what you think, 79or, whatever you call yourself these days.

I've paid my money and I'm entitled to my opinion. Don't try to bully me; it might work with others, but not with me, so keep your sarcasm to yourself.

19 Apr 2026 21:12:23
You don't like an opinion that contradicts your own, Redvale, especially from me though.

19 Apr 2026 21:52:52
I'd keep your options to yourself after what you posted last week about Anderson. I bet you stood there today clapping before ko telling all around you how terrible it was.

19 Apr 2026 17:20:13
They left it late, but four spendid goals and hope for the future again. MGW brilliant when Pereira moved him second half. Jesus took his goal well in front of the pack chasing him.
But now we have to keep getting the points however we can!

19 Apr 2026 17:02:26
I think you should all be looking at Anderson, what a man to stand and be proud. Welled up no end to flowers and shirt. Life before football. Feelings and honesty.
Ok now the game. Pathetic first half. Second half we played a more fluent game. Woods bless him, still not fit and the honesty is written all over his face.

Jesus for me with his pace opened up their defence, exactly what we needed. Yates pass was simply brilliant. But my my my mgw. What a saviour young man. What a game we live for Reds. You just never know. Upwards and onwards FTID.

19 Apr 2026 17:29:04
I don't think Jesus is that overly quick, mate, the chasing pack were closing in... However, he's kept his nerve and tucked it away, that's all that matters!!!!
Uuuuu Redddss!!!!

20 Apr 2026 00:08:10
With five players close behind and almost alongside him, he didn't panic but pulled the ball left into the far corner, through all of them, and beat the goalie. That is some goal and shows a sharp mind and a natural predator at work. I think he'll do better for the rest of our games, given some chances.

19 Apr 2026 16:41:34
Feel exhausted after that.

The first hour was woeful.

MGW steps up to the plate again. Where would we be without him?

19 Apr 2026 17:16:28
At least 3 places lower 67.

19 Apr 2026 18:21:06
Master stroke Vitor putting him on the wing to find so much room.

19 Apr 2026 16:13:48
Credit where it's due, what a second half of football from Forest. MGW must have changed his boots, what a hat trick!
Jesus, what a goal, 5/6 players chasing him and he scored!
Very well done Forest!

Well done Vp at half time Jekyl and Hide performance, but great 3 pts.

19 Apr 2026 16:03:56
It's a funny old game.

Keep the Faith.

19 Apr 2026 16:03:31
Beautiful ?????. Amazing second half and great to see Jesus getting a goal. Well done all round and Vp the team obviously believe in you. ❤️❤️❤️

19 Apr 2026 15:42:13
What a player! A what a hat-trick. Some on here saying we we should have got rid of him earlier in the season! Bakwa, Morata, Jesus need to go.

19 Apr 2026 15:47:35
What a player MGW. ???

19 Apr 2026 15:53:25
Hero status imo. ?

19 Apr 2026 15:59:09
Who was slagging Jesus off? Keep it up, just like me with mgw. ???

19 Apr 2026 15:59:21
See???
I was right about Jesus!!!
????

19 Apr 2026 16:04:41
I eat my hat.
A great win, and what's even better is Spurs will hopefully get relegated.
COYR. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

"He's f****** brilliant!!!"
