Must admit - I was having visions of QPR v Newcastle back in 1985, during the 2nd half (another for the older posters!)

thought we'd finally killed them off when we went 5-3.

Livramento worries me a bit. He often doesn't look like he wants the ball and is prone to panic. Hall has made much more progress on the other side. 

 

I would hold Livramento equally to blame for their goal. As the taker of the throw-in he has to accept responsibility for judging what's on and what isn't. It was a really poor decision.

 

 

 

 

Tino will continue to struggle in possession with Murphy ahead of him, as he needs someone more capable of carrying the ball and passing it to help him.

 

The throw in was only a poor decision because the player he threw it to was Murphy, as Murphy panicked and tried to get rid of it as quickly as he could back to Tino, when he had acres of space in front of him to run into, in the direction the ball was thrown.

 

Murphy has had a productive season in the final third, but he still causes the team so many problems in the initial build up phase.

:lol: for the sake of my health in that second half, thank you for not telling us you were there beforehand. 

 

I think if we'd blown it I'd be legitimately considering just giving up on going to games.

 

Full of confidence now, gonna get season tickets for me and @Beren for next year.

One giantkilling in the FA Cup and now you want to try your hand at Real Madrid in the CL?

I am pleased for you tbf. Couldn't believe there were only 3 minutes stoppage time. What fortune.

aye i was expecting 6 or 7 for some reason.

 

also it was crying out for the introduction of Osula on instead of Wilson. would have had their defenders a bit concnerned.

The throw-in was fine and was set up for Murphy to either play it back to Burn or to carry centrally, instead Murphy tried to play a blind pass back to Livramento and was caught out.

 

The bad decision making lies with Murphy.

The look of joy on your face as you momentarily celebrated Burn's clearly offside goal turning to familiar resignation will never leave me.

I had to leave so could only listen to the last 10 or so plus stoppage. Sounded hair raising and I was driving my 84 year old mother to coffee when Forest scored their third goal. I screamed "FUCK" and she said "What's wrong". She's practically deaf so had no idea what we were listening to.

then you'd have to wait till they went to the ground to see if it was us them that had scored.
