That’s right, it’s the tie number thereafter
-
He looked accusingly at Schar after it, not sure if he got a call or something but he got the merest glance on it.
-
If it’s Jordan Henderson he was playing for Ajax this afternoon…

I’m not happy with the result today but we were hardly schooled. You make it sound like it was backs to the wall for 120 minutes

As stupid as it sounds, if you take out those 9 wins in a row it has been a fucking infuriating season. Probably made worse by how good we were in most of those 9 games and how ragtag we have looked in most others.

He could hardly walk but for some reason they did away with getting an extra sub in extra time. Him and Joao Pedro basically marked each other in extra time as neither could move

One of the strangest games I’ve ever been to. Forest barely completed a pass in the first 20 mins but were 1-0 up through our own incompetence. Played really well for 15 mins and scored four, which should have set up a carnival second half. Instead we just couldn’t keep the ball and got really panicky. Burn in particular seemed to be completely off his tits, I don’t know if the wind was a factor but he was all over the place. Willock was good for an hour then his race was clearly run. Bruno was fairly erratic all day, Miley just kept it simple and took his goal well. Sels is still shite, Wilson looked like he had played 90 when he came on and Murphy barely got anything right all game but at least he scored I suppose. Glad to have won but not sure what we can take forward from this performance, just a mad day. Was sat up next to the away fans and one probably 20 nothing year old was giving it the bigun until we scored, he left before half time and didn’t come back.

In an ideal world we wouldn't need to keep him but with the financial restrictions it probably makes sense. Keep him and he and Osula can share backup duties - we will probably have some European games to contend with next season. If he leaves, you probably need to sign somebody else to be backup. As we know, that costs money and probably stops us strengthening elsewhere. Osula is getting there but he's still very raw. Obviously the enormous gamble is his fitness but if you can have him available for 15-20 games (across all competitions) it's still cheaper than having to buy somebody else.

We were poor but Bruno was banned for most of those games and we were massively reliant on him. That said losing here wouldn't be a surprise regardless of the upcoming fixtures.

It’s worth pointing out that not many teams have the fitness Bournemouth do or even the personnel to do what they did to us today. They played very well up here last season too and would have won if they had taken more of their chances, bearing in mind we got an iffy penalty and a Matt Ritchie fortunate scrappy equaliser. It’s not a good match up for us and hopefully we will put it right in future.

Bournemouth were excellent and we were poor as a result. They are an awful team to be behind against, an absolute gang of dogs in the middle and loads of athleticism everywhere. Had our number in all areas really, it was a bit like we had been Space Jammed, every pass was difficult for us, everybody’s second touch was a tackle. Call it whatever you want, the best team won today and we need to learn from it.

Felt a bit like a testimonial in the second half, the corner did a great job of singing about basically every player to have played for us. Dubravka - Turns out he still can’t dive low to his right. Would be daft to get rid whilst Pope is out. Trippier - Rusty? Complacent? To be fair it’s difficult when paired with an idiot. Schar - Fine, no fuss. Kelly - Alright, lost a few in the air Targett - Kept going, 2 assists! Just an average left back who would be a good squad player if fit. Miley - Best player on the pitch. Great hit. Hopefully we are able to involve him more but competition for places in that position is very strong. Longstaff - Awful in games like this. Breaking down a packed defence needs quick play and incisiveness and he sadly lacks this. Miley should get his minutes. Joelinton/Bruno - Aye. Did a job. Barnes - Pretty poor. If he’s not cutting inside and shooting he’s not doing much. Almiron - He’s done. Just has nothing to offer. Trippier and Schar were annoyed by him cutting back in rather than taking on his man. Osula - Chaos! Something to work with. Already looks better than he did a few months ago. Sanusi - Probably tried too hard, not a lot came off for him. Gordon - Didn’t have to do much other than slot a penalty
-
He got a game less for offering to pay for the replacement glasses. It’s ridiculous

If you have Sky the red button channel is like 971 or something

Bromley at the weekend, will probably be time for Abe's Odyssey to play.
