Down to the pitch ? Looked as hard as a frozen pitch !

Nah it was his fault for smashing into Boly as Alan Smith said.

 

[jimharri]

Lot of glossing over in the thread due to the result.

That was our worst performance of the season for me.

Very, very lucky to get anything out of it and didn’t look anything like a team who wins the league.

Need to sort their heads out and turn up properly for the final 4 games.

Lucky in what way? Bossed possession (as usual), over twice as many passes, a shots on target ratio over three times that of Forest. If that's lucky, I hope we continue to be lucky in the last 5 games of the season.

Special mention to Ortega. Every time he is asked to do a job he does it with class.

Must be hard not getting picked. His ability to step up when Eddie is out can’t be underestimated.

Happily have him start the remaining games.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

We struggled throughout the game with Nottingham Forest system and their wing backs in particular, We really didn't find a way to stop it all game.

Anyway, It's a results business especially at this stage of the season, Away wins at Brighton and Nottingham Forest within the space of 4 days is good going.

We've now a week to recover which is amazing for us because it's such a long time we've had this luxury.

KDB won us the game today, His delivery for Gvardiol and pass to Haaland was the key for us today.

Another game chalked off and move on to the next game.

Aina looked really good for them. Quick. Could be a useful back up. Long throw too, lol.

 

[bondsman]

No mate I haven’t.

We were shit and lucky no matter the context.

Sometimes better to be lucky than good. Yet again we couldn’t pick our true first 11 due to injuries. Great result and others have been luckier

 

[malg]

@Gigant I believe.

That was the one. Top trolling.

You forgetting the absolute sitters they missed on purpose James?

Ffs.

Fair enough but by my reckoning that’s 8 games in 25 days, including 120 mins v madrid. We’ve won 6 and drawn 2

Yes, I know we weren’t good, but have to take the context. 3 points, we move on.

Erling changed the game, it was crying out for his sub, as it made them sit 30 yards deeper the minute he came on.

 

[Revolver]

Has any English team ever had to play so many games for so long and won so much? Where every game is like coming up against a brick wall as teams just sit back?

It’s a testimony to how good our team is that we’ve had so few performances like today.

And a testimony to it’s character that we got through today

Win when you play badly is what the very best manage to do.

Away to Spuds is the game that bothers me, but I think the Rags will get something from the Arsenal game.

#saveourmerse

You hear people who supposedly informed sometimes and say to yourself ‘my arse’

About as coherent as a meth head after a toot, states the obvious, sprinkles some fairy dust analysis and sky cash in on it; I mean wtf am I paying for???

Bellend

 

[AshtonBlueMooner]

Hahahaha, they purposely didn’t water the pitch to stifle us and it back fired. Tools.

 

[oxopop]

Rest will do us good, far too many sub par performances from the midfield today. Hopefully out of our system now. How did sky give KDB motm? Ake for me. Winning ugly will do at this time of the season.

 

[freshie]

Let's be honest , we got away with one today , we complain when we dominate opponents and they score with their first shot on target but Forest were profligate and with a decent striker would have been out of sight. Convinced Chris Wood is a City fan.

Was nice for the shoe to be on the other foot for once

That’s the sign of champions. We got the 3 points. Take it and move on and they now have a week’s rest. Now is not the time for moaning

 

[Gingers Dad]

Pep had a game plan that wasn't really working, mainly because of individual sloppiness so he changed it.

Forest did that snidey, little club thing of not watering the pitch to make it more difficult to play football. They picked up a couple of injuries that might be because of the dry pitch. So fck em.

They are the bitterest of fans and I won't shed a tear when the Stoke wannabes go down. And to think I cheered them on when they were winning the European Cup

 

[chickaroon]

Not great today but of a stressful game, hate to say this as massive silva fan but my god he was awful today never questioned his attitude but something was well off today… 3 points when it could of easily been a draw or worse take it and move on to the next

I agree about Silva. Had a bad game and when he plays centrally he gets out muscled so many times. Love the guy though.

 

[East Level 2]

90 minutes of passing to the opposition interspersed with two very well taken goals.
Why did we keep giving the ball away unnecessarily?
Why didn't Boly get a yellow for any of his many yellow card challenges.
Four more wins needed though three very, very big wins and a draw will be enough.
And to any lurking raggies: 25 points; mind the gap please.

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

Note to the next match thread when we play these.
Calling then Notts is like calling us Man Utd. Ex of mine was a Forest fan. They absolutely fucking hate that.
