Not going to give them the 'plucky underdog' shit or patronise them either - they're currently substandard even after they've thrown nearly £100m at the team. They were overrun and dominated from start to finish and barely put up a fight, if they don't improve dramatically then they'll be down by April. That's the brutal honest truth and while I like the fact the club is back in the top flight after being away for far too long they'll be going straight back down unless they get much better really quickly

They'll be down by January based on today :lol:

Where did he go? Seemed a good poster.

 

No idea. Haven't spoken to him for ages, I didn't know he'd left until someone mentioned it recently. Just hope it's a positive change for him that he needed.

Anyone see the MOTD highlights?

Thought they were a bit generous to Forest meself - showed two or three Forest chances and about double that of ours. Should have been about four times as many of our efforts, if they were going to show three of theirs.

To be fair, they did sum it up that we were much the better team, but if a neutral only saw the highlights, they would have come away thinking Forest could have got something from that game.

Just seen the 30 minute highlights on Sky. Everyone looked fit, confident and keen. Willock and Almiron seemed to have upped their games. The intensity of our play seemed to rattle Forest.

 

Lingard looked like a player who'd only joined for the money, which of course is not surprising. It was down to him to close down Schar for the goal, but he made a very half-hearted attempt before giving up.

Thought they’d be a lot better tactically given how much the gargoyle is rated and how well he’s done in his career to date. Seemed like they were happy to chance keep getting battered and that we’d not score rather than doing anything to proactive about it. They were absolutely wide open in midfield in the first 60 odd mins of the game. Dunno whether they’ve bought one but they really looked like they missed a proper DM who could break the game up.

Who does Steve Cooper look like? It's killing me 

I feel like a younger Shaun Ryder looked like that somehow
