We had a touch in the box after 20 seconds when Willock scored.

 

Meant in the second half. 

[Pata]

I don’t see much wrong with that performance. We had plenty of chances and can’t really remember them having any outside the long throw. 
 

How the game turned after their goal was also a great example of momentum and change of balance. We were leading after 20 seconds so there was no need to take massive risks or push high, especially with this CB pairing. Immediately after they scored there was only one team looking for the winner.

I don't think there's too much to be upset about tonight, like. We're hardly purring but we've shown a lot of mettle to get some great results. Work to be done to get our football improving but some solid foundations.

NUFC manager plays strong side in first League Cup match of the season

 

Sorry like, but this is what I want from an NUFC manager.  Wasn’t a great performance but we’re taking these games seriously

[Heron]

Big win that for Eddie. In Howe We Trust.

[CallumG6]

Hope this is the catalyst that kickstarts our season now.

2 draws and a win in normal time. Two away from home and one with 10men for an hour.

 

We look well off it, but if this is when we're off it...who knows what happens when we're on it.

[Heron]

Can we fuck off Eels instead?

[Scoot]

Couldn't watch pens like. Took the dogs out! Brilliant to see us through. 

 

Roll on Man City away in the draw.

Especially the jellied type, rank

[Gallowgate Toon]

We'll get a lot better. Still so early in the season and feels obvious to me we've got mixed sharpness, confidence etc.

 

I think we've actually had some positive spells in both of the last 2 games for us to build on.

[Stifler]

We need to do a lot of work in the training ground.

We are nowhere near where we should be. Also after a great defence in his first full season, I’m starting to feel that he is defensively naive as I thought he was before he joined.

We have a lot of work, a lot of work.

[Newcastle Fan]

Honestly feels like we never had a pre-season and just started working our way in the game against Southampton.

 

He's got a lot of quality in the squad now and happy he's using them from the bench but we need to be better.

I just don't understand what has happened to our press and running from two seasons ago? I presumed last season was down to injuries, as we did it well up until that Man United home game when we blew them away and somehow only won 1-0, ever since then though its been non existent and the early signs this season are that it's not returning .

Did Forest have any chances outside of set pieces? I’m drawing a blank here.

[Lush Vlad]

Not seen the game tonight. But not sure we’ve ever had a fast, out the blocks start to a season under him, have we? No idea what he was like at Bournemouth. So not a big sample size of 3 for NUFC, granted. But I Can’t say it’s ‘worrying’ me yet. 

[Keggy_Keagal]

The old maxim used to be that if you can play poorly and get results it's the sign of a good side. Let's hope it's true and that we start looking far more cohesive at the weekend.

We've had one home game where we went down to ten men early and then two hard away games where we are naturally less likely to press. Maybe wait for a bigger sample size?

[Wandy]

He's a very lucky man because, apart from the final 15 mins of open play, that was absolutely dreadful. 3 games in and we have been garbage in all of them and this simply cant continue. The whole club has been a shambles this summer and this has obviously affected morale allround but that still does not excuse the passive performances we have seen so far.

Are you ok?

 

[Menace]

Sign of a good team if we keep winning despite not playing well...

We were playing a Forest team that made 10 changes tonight , I wouldn't class that as a hard away game really .

Anyone who watched that tonight and thinks that things are ok has their head in the sand.
