Rode our luck a bit second half.

The first 20-25 mins were really good. Quick passing, incisive runs, fantastic pressing.

We couldn't keep it up all match but it was good to see that side of the team is still there.

On balance, a deserved win.

Maybe, as far as I’m concerned their only unlucky shot was Gibbs-White vollley off the bar. The other shots were poor efforts and if I were a Forest fan I’d be really disappointed with their finishing and not saying how unlucky they were. We had chances too, O’Reilly had a shot saved, Kovacic did just before the Gvardiol goal, so did Marmoush. Overall like you, I thought we deserved the win.
 
Excellent 1st half bar a goal threat. 2nd half goal at the right time. Kova and Bernie great and the back 4 fine. Marmoush was ok but didn’t see enough ball. Grealish and Savio poor throughout
 
Did I read somewhere that today was our thirtieth game in Brent since we were founded 17 years ago? Not sure if that includes the couple of league games against Spurs that were played there. Of course, number 31 is on the horizon. And if we fluke the FA Cup, number 32 will be coming in August in the Community Shield. It's a crazy stat.

What's this xG s*it? Beyond my pay grade. A made-up statistic thingy?

I can't get my head around it at all. I guess it's of some use to the data analysts that I presume every top flight club employ. However, I'm a fully paid up member of the FOC club and, for me, the only stat that ultimately matters is the one in the top left corner of the screen. As Metallica so brilliantly put it, nothing else matters.

Course it is. The same made up stat as bloody NET SPEND? Who the hell heard of net spend until we started winning things and catching up with everyone else’s cash output on players. I can still remember a l’pool fan in work telling me they were top of the ‘net spend league’, I never heard of it. I nearly fell off my chair laughing when he told me what it was, another thing invented to try and take a strangle hold against the likes of us.

People do know that hitting the bar or the post is off target?

If you aim for that, you aren’t scoring.

Said this earlier blue! The aim of the game is to get the ball between them posts! We did it twice and they didn't achieve it at all hence we win. Hitting the post means fuck all. CTWD

I pointed that out a couple of times in the match thread. Hitting the woodwork is officially as on target as Mahrez's penalty at Anfield. Check the OPTA website.....

Absolutely fantastic result.
Tick another one off, 5 cup finals to go.

Kova ran the show.

Yes was very good. Bernardo as his quarterback lietnetnat was superb too tbf. Given him plenty of stick this season but with right players alongside him hope he see his contract out . . .
Sav needs to find some confidence. Him and Phil both look like they were both put up for adoption together when they were little
