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.

Forest reminded me us of the year we finished fifth under Pards. Quick breaks, route one and getting some lucky breaks.

He is absolutely pathetic. Just a championship clogger at best. Wouldn’t want him in any side we’ve had in my lifetime. Just offers nothing but pashun.

They would love him. Would be a Bally type legend for them. If he could mock one of our club icons for having cancer like Bally did he may even surpass him.

Anyone on the trip today know who this bellend is?

 

From the Forest forum.

 

Quote

A word about their fans: while enjoying a pre-match chips and 2 fish cake lunch, a crowd of louts in black and white came along Radcliffe Road, bellowing their foul-mouthed songs. One specimen wearing a distinctive pink puffer jacket over his replica shirt decided to hurl a half-full glass of beer (thankfully in a plastic pint pot) showering Forest fans, including women and kids who were simply queuing to place their orders for their meal. Several Forest fans collared a couple of coppers, explained what had happened and pointed out the perpetrator to Starsky & Hutch, who gave chase at a funerial pace. I doubt they apprehended the scum.

If he wasn’t a decent bloke who wouldn’t do something like that, the pink puffer jacket screams  @Paully as that is definitely something he’d wear. :lol: 

Ha, my first thought as well.

From a Forest message board...

'One final thought: not all Newcastle fans are scum. As we walked away from the ground we chatted to a few going our way, and they were polite and well mannered, just like all football fans should be."

 

As someone who's been to 3 games at Forest, in a place with many "home fans only" pubs because their fans can't be trusted, get to f***.

Got to say I was absolutely baffled by taking wee Joe off as IMO he’d been our best player going forward beforehand but given Tonali played a role in both goals you have to hold your hands up and say fair play Mister Howe.

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 [emoji38]

 

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

 

 

 


Been Pardewing it. Fair play to them. Fair few in the media tipped them to go down and that’s not going to happen.

As much as anything, I imagine they're managing his minutes still. They're doing something right anyhow - great to see him back looking like this.

Yup and if they are then fair play. Certainly looking more and more like the player we know he can be. Thankfully he doesn’t appear to have lost any acceleration either which is absolutely vital as I can never get enough of him slowing someone down to dart past them or get a ball in quickly.

It's really heartening. I was starting to get worried those predicting the demise of his career as a permacrock would be right. He looks dead happy too.

He's a good solid manager but not quite good enough for a top 8 club. 

Spurs ditched him after 17 games at 1.65 points a game. Ange is currently on 1.72.

Eddie with us is at 1.73, starting with a relegation zone team.

All schadenfreude I know, but I did enjoy watching MOTD, and the pre-produced introduction to our game, with all these Forest fans and pundits hailing the return of the glory days. 

 

In reality, I think they were one of the weaker sides we've faced. Their only goal came from a badly defended set-piece, and their main threat seemed to come from fast breaks. 

 

Credit as always to Eddie, who had them well sussed-out, and Bruno, who dominated the midfield.
