Were not getting the rub of the green, should have been a deffo penalty. getting a bad feeling about this game
Feels like a defeat, but FFS two penos not given and a foul against Cooper on the build up to the equaliser.
The result that should never have been. We played too many long balls in my opinion, which means our passing and magic touches suffered. Bamford is a nearly player, should be replaced with a player who gives more effort. A lot of the time Bamford runs around like a headless chicken.
Arms all over costa,needed a second look at that,but should have won that by a mile, same as last season dominating teams without an end product when it matters, don't get me wrong i like Bamford but we can't afford the luxury of a player missing upteen good chances.
Same old problems persist, can’t finish. Pablo only real creator. Having said that awful referee and I don’t normally criticize referees
Somebody must have shoved some ginger up Forshaw in pre-season, he’s looking like the player I thought we’d bought, and Harrison was superb again. Little to fault, another day Bamford would have had two. Crap ref, 2 points dropped - hey ho, we go again on Tuesday.
As far as I'm concerned we bottled it again. As soon as we took the lead, we wanted to protect it, though every time in the last 20 mins they came at us, we back off. This is one of the best positions to have a free kick, and Forest have twice the amount of players defending. We had no chance.
We outplayed them in every department their goal was lucky and scrappy, I’m gutted with the result but you can’t knock any of our players. Some beautiful long passes, lots of chances and we have the Arsenal lad and Costa nearing a starting position. If we had played poor or the game deserved a draw I’d be feeling a long season ahead but today Forest got lucky they’ll think they deserved it after the Roofe handball last season.
The problem for us is that if Bamford keeps firing blanks, then we have an unproven 20 year old kid that we have to rely on! Not exactly an ideal scenario for a club who has promotion aspirations. Bamford is too laid back for my liking. Doesn't look like he has much hunger and wouldn't make the cut in the PL. Myself personally would have given the wages to Roofe and told Bamford to do one. Say what you like about Roofe but I never got the impression he was giving any less than 100% and today just confirms why he was rightly miffed and wanted to leave going way back to some time last season.
-Phillips could have walked -We could have had 2 pens -We conceded a sloppy goal because we can’t defend set pieces - Bamford misses chances ... has a familiar ring to it
