We don't deserve to lose this
Agreed but with officiating like that it's easily to lose .
Yes the lad looks as if he can play, and looks as if he has 2 decent feet. Shame his night was ruined by inept officiatingAnyone saying we need Josh Bowler when we have Josh Powell coming through is mental.

I thought Taylor played ok. I was surprised how well he holds off defenders. Osong was disappointing, but I don't think United were really letting us play the way we wanted to. We had some really good moves down the right, but it looked like we weren't fully committing when we were on the attack.Powell was the best player over the 90 minutes. Taylor and Esapa Osong were disappointing, but the rest of the team had decent games.
Don't like the theme that's emerging - but it's bad decisions in games where we don't quite do enough.
Put the ball in the net a few times and we can laugh those decisions off.

I couldn't see the pen decision from where i was sat but my instinct was it was outside the box.
Overall they played well, added some value to the club, and gained some valuable experience, all of which i think is more important than winning the cup.
United's crowd is as terrible as everyone says. I've never been to a united game before, they were pretty much silent the whole time.
I don't know about clearly the better side.Watching on FA Player, we were clearly the better side but didn't make many chances. The foul was outside the box. Taylor looked class but wasn't given much chance to shine. Overall, the team did us proud.
When I say 'clearly the better side', I mean that we were away at Old Trafford, with 50,000+ United fans against 5.000+ Forest fans - but we seemed very comfortable and rarely came under sustained pressure (5 minutes at start of 2nd half?). We looked like we could create a winning move, but in the second half we failed to do so.I don't know about clearly the better side.
We outplayed them for about half an hour and the rest of the game was fairly even.
I thought United played really well when they had it on the floor in our half, but they didn't do that very much. They clearly have some really talented players, but we had the better intensity, and looked like we wanted it more. It looked like we had them figured out in the second half. We were just missing that quality in the opposition box, then a bad decision and that's it.
The future looks bright for Forest though.
