Nottingham Forest 1-3 Newcastle United (10/11/24) | Reaction: pg 43 | Goal-posts: OP

[Wolfcastle]

Really like having bench options.  Throwing Willock/Tonali into things as well as Barnes and hopefully Wilson to come.  Even Almiron would have been useful in the scenario that transpired towards the end of this game. 1-3 down you wouldn't want him breaking on you.

[Erikse]

Yates getting love from their fans aswell today.

Yates is a fucking disgrace of a player. How does he get away with so much shit? Wasn't it something like 10 fouls against us in this game last season and he didn't even get a yellow? Thug cunt 

[Smal]

he made 5 fouls in this game and neither of the red card offences are included in that. Shocking player

Maybe, although Milenkovic used to regularly get exposed for Fiorentina. They both benefit playing in a side that sits deep and breaks.

I'll bow to your knowledge of Serie A. They've both looked good when I've watched them in the Premier League. 

[Teslact]

After play on from the Longstaff tackle and then Yates went through Gordon (?) (after they got the ball back and then we did) I really thought Taylor was going to give him two yellows. Unbelievable.

Clarify the sequence of play.

[CheikBoom]

I can almost tolerate the Ref missing them despite the obvious nature. However, VAR clearing it was utterly mind boggling 

[Thumbheed]

We are so good on the counter.

 

I wish we saw it more often tbh. 

[TBG]

Pretty sure there was more replays for Longstaff's "handball" than there was him getting assaulted twice.

1 point behind 3rd going into the internationals. Would like to not have internationals with our current form, hopefully we can keep it going after the break.

 

 

 

I actually think the players who are having time away with Howe in Saudi will have a refresher, players like Gordon going to England might be what he needs too.

If the BBC Sport website is anything to go by, we're going to be dead last on MOTD

Think this is the most liked post I've ever had on this forum

Ryan Yates is a scum football hooligan.  He shouldn't be gracing the football pitches of the Premier League.  All he did throughout the whole game was foul and cheat.  He must have grabbed Bruno at least three times around the neck and head.

[bobloblaw]

Just got to watch this, hopefully the away form has turned a corner.  Great win!

I think this is the first game of the season where i felt like we've won convincingly, good performance all around even in the first half when we were trailing.

Yep. Only iffy moment we had was when we equalised, then had the mindset of ‘let’s keep pushing people forward’ and we lost the ball with men forward, played wide where Burn was never recovering, but thankfully it was a weak full back who was the one running through on goal, not an Elanga / MGW. After that, we got a bit more tighter, and pummelled Forest without giving up the space again.

Thought Nuno's subs were pretty dreadful.

 

Taking off Hudson Odoi and Gibbs White for Anderson and the poundshop Portuguese Grealish meant they had no attacking danger on the counter anymore

Keeping Yates on did us a solid, too.

Miley as well, he has a part to play this season

[Geordie_once_removed]

Great win. I was confident before the game and it's nice to see your confidence validated rather than have it act as another twist of the knife after a disappointing loss.

 

It's so good to look at the bench and see players there who you really want to see start but who you can't work out how to fit into a starting line up.

They're just shit, no idea how they were ever third. Chris Wood was quiet all game, Anderson came on and did nothing, MGW was hooked and was probably their best player, Yates is just a mobile shithouse and they've got Mats Selz in goals for fuck sake 

 

Other than one lapse on a close free kick they rarely bothered Pope.

Sky decided to edit out most of the build-up for our second goal in their highlight package. Strange choice. 

[STM]

The narrative being pushed at 1-0 was ridiculous, as if we'd fallen into their cunning trap. What trap was that then? Gifting us all of the possession? Allowing us free reign of their penalty area? Playing for one set piece chance?

 

It was clear we were going to get a goal if they kept allowing us time and space and once we got the equaliser, they had a big problem, the onus was back on them and they didn't have the stamina or technical answers. 

 

Once they they started coming forward, we just picked them off on the break. We could have had a couple more too.

 

Forest optimised being in a false position in the league. They are a good side and will have a fine year but you can't live on counter attacks like that, without at some point trying to impose yourself on the game. I feel like every other side will now know how to deal with them just a little bit better.

 

They've a few really nice players though. Murillo, I'd have in a heartbeat.

Hudson Odoi had a terrible game and looked a yard off the pace.

 

Gibbs White wasn't exactly setting the world alight either. But then, Anderson isn't gonna make much of a difference...

 

I know I'm really down on Anderson's ability, but I always have been, and his complete lack of impact was no surprise today. He plays such a one-paced game. Almost like he is playing walking football. Just takes too long on the ball and kills momentum. Then a lot of his duels, he pushing and pulling which should just always be a foul. That time he just two handed shoved Bruno and the ref ignored it  He needs to play as a DCM to get-by at Premier League level. Somewhere on the pitch that can afford him a bit more time. He just gets swallowed up by competent midfields when he plays in the hole behind the striker, as he did at times today.

Certainly can’t live on counter attacks at home, wouldn’t be surprised if they continue to do well away from home though.

[Tiresias]

Forest seem to be doing something that happens every now and then when a manager gets a decent set of players and doesnt over think things sets them up fairly solid and has some exciting players and it does very well. It's not grind it out, it's not regressive or anything it's just also not super 'cunning' or anything, and it will do alright and then the players will get sold and it won't sustain. 

 

They've done very well, but Chris Wood won't sustain that many goals I suspect, but it's not a cunning trap it's a solid team overperforming currently a bit, it'll even out probably.
