Another good performance by Ortega, and Pep's decision to change keeper has been fully justified.

Loads of positives from tonight, notably KDB and Doku - if we can get a bit more end product from him, he will be truly special.

Hopefully we patch them up and put a good enough 11 out again at the weekend to get 3 points at Palace.

So a goal and an assist is not enough, what else does Doku have to do, prey tell

Mad isn’t it!

They injuries?
Ake walked off looking fine and thought Walker was strategic?
Probably both out for months though knowing us :-(

Akanji and Ake are both out for the Palace game and Ake will be out for a while.

Grealish has to stay in the middle. Give him game time there and he will flourish, just like he did at Villa. Stick him out wide or on the bench again and he will die a death again.

Obviously far better performance and a confidence builder.
Better teams would have taken those chances and 2-2 would have tested our resilience.
Kev is the lynchpin of the team -shame he's in the twilight of his career.

If I hadn't been to the game I would have known we had won by the lack of posts on post match thread..seems a fair few only seem to spout their opinions when we lose..
Even the tram wasn't too bad tonight..back home and very happy with 3 points and a clean sheet too..thought Oliver was fucking awful as per

Forrest have had really good season so far they are not a top team but they have been effective

Just got to enjoy Kevin while we still can, he was brilliant tonight.

Grealish in midfield was great too. Hopefully that worries Phil in the right way and when he gets over his illness, he comes back more the player of last season than what we’ve seen recently.

I work in Nottingham, I’m going to enjoy going into the office tomorrow :)

 

[cmcm0808]

Doku, De Bruyne and Grealish worked great together tonight. Ortaga has to be ouŕ new number 1 going forward.

 

[Nevizade]

That’s the performance we all wanted, the hunger evident from minute one. If anyone else wants to win this league they are going to have to fucking take it from us my friends.

Now, where’s that title race thread?

It should have been six. How many teams would have scored Gundog's header 'n Gvardiol's miss? And their keeper had a couple of fingertip saves but though I wouldn't say we played well we were better! Good thumping goals from Kev n Jezzer! I can't see a single game this season where we field our strongest teeam.

Oh, and it just raised my spirit in the second half that Dogshite Oliver had a chance to refresh his understanding of what the LotG deem a foul. Every fuckin' nudge on a red shirt brought a free whilst we could be clattered and he'd play on. Jack even went to him to show that his leg was near hanging off after one tackle.

 

[wythenshaweblue£££]

Good win tonigt Doku top notch and good to see Jack in the middle also hopefully he plays there Saturday. Onwards and upwards.

 

[chesterbells]

This by a country mile was jacks finest game. Why ??
Because at long last Pep must have listened to me and played him in his rightly place as a midfielder.
Never in a million years was Jack ever a winger but what a performance tonight from the Midlands Merauder.
Brilliant Jack and once again Pep many thanks for listening to me. ;)

This was why I voted for him as Man Of The Match. 3 or 4 players had a superb night, but this was the reason I chose him rather than one of the others. Because of where he was playing. The others were all playing in the position they pretty much always play for us.

 

[chaddblue]

Much much better. Good performances all over the pitch and no nerves

 

[JTFactsPlz]

So a goal and an assist is not enough, what else does Doku have to do, prey tell

Not constantly given the ball away creating turnovers in possession?

 

[Brad mcfc]

Important win, hopefully Jack plays in the middle more often.

You could see real annoyance and frustration on Bernardo's face when Ake told him it how bad it was.

Thought it was bad initially but when he walked off I thought it seemed okay.

The pusey just isn't ready. He's not warmed up yet.
