Is there a reason they don't have a sponsor on their shirt?

[McCormick]

Yeah googled it and keep coming up with ones that look like early 2000’s GCSE IT projects.

They seem sound, after the initial mental optimism

Cheers mate

I don't know what the editing team at MOTD were doing but they managed to make that game look less one sided than it was, it was evident from even the ropiest of rivers that we gave them quite a pasting

Aye, seem a canny bunch, thankfully, as I can retain my Forest soft spot.

Dominant from the first whistle till last. 

 

They fluffed a couple of opportunities but not to the extent motd made it seem.

 

I like forest but they never looked like worrying us tbh. They'll grow into this division and their new recruits will start to gel with a few more games. Good luck to them

I think at times a defeat like that for newly promoted teams can help out. Brings them back down to earth a little and can focus them better. Remember it happening to us when Keegan first brought us up and we were full of hope and excitement, then Spurs beat us 1-0. Was the reality check we needed to knuckle down and push on.

Don’t blame them too much for being optimistic, it’s incredibly exciting being back in the PL after 23 years. I do blame that fan for thinking o’brien was on par with one of the top 5 midfielders in the league, in Bruno

I actually quite like their blind optimism.

[Hanshithispantz]

They've probably been playing great football for most of last year, and then you see teams like Brentford occasionally coming up and smashing Chelsea 4-1 at Stamford Bridge 

 

It's fair enough for them to be optimistic of the same kind of impact like, especially as most clearly haven't watched too much of the Premiership (I never either when we were down there), a year ago they would have probably played us off the park in this same fixture

It's strange how different people see a game. Looking at their forum and the majority of them think Colback had a good game. I thought his was an echo of his time here, nothing on the ball and constantly chasing after his man and not really getting near.

 

I know it's only 1 game but I fear a long hard season for them.

He even managed an obligatory “run into the back of the player and let them fall over and win a free kick”.

I think he was their best player, tbf. Not saying much, I know.

Actually [I think his name is] McKenna was probably their most involved in defence. But Colback stands out so much.

I think Colback had a 'good' game solely because he was actually on the ball at times, unlike a lot of their other players, same with O'Brien. But the pair of them were about as outplayed as it's possible to be.

[Hanshithispantz]

I remember one good performance from him in the Prem (Chelsea). Forrest look like they could do massively with an energetic DM like.

This was a peach from the forest forum;

some wanksplash living in Morpeth posting over there really dislikes us as well. His Geordie wife must regularly beat him to have that chip on his shoulder.

Surely we cant be making fun of another managers appearance when we had the Geordie Jabba?

We made fun of him, didn't we? We're hardly hypocrites.

[Klaus]

I feel like a kid again. Must have watched the highlights 5/6 times already

[Ikon]

Just read through the Forest 1100+ posts about the game. Satisfaction starts at 470 and onwards. Also, Tapatalk is horrendous. So laggy!

They had to seperate Eddie Rutherford and Steve Cooper at birth. By law.
