This'll be a cracking game, really looking forward to it.
Would be a massive win but would take a draw, that way, if Fulham and Leeds both win, they will still be a win and a bit behind.
I’m quite confident that we win , I’d take a 1-0 but I actually think we are due to wallop someone and this would be a really good time.
We will show them who is the boss. 3 - 1.
I'm feeling good about this one, the lads will know this is a game to set us aside from the rest, we have the ability to tonk them and I think we will !! WBA 4 - Forest 1, oh and Grabban sent off to top it all off nicely.
I dunno, I can never forget us scoring first then losing 5-1 at home to Forest in about 1976 (edit: just looked it up it was 1979), so I would probably take a draw - I think it could be a high scoring game though, best of 5 or 6 goals.
I think it’ll be 1-1 or 2-2 and I’d take that.
Hoping for a significant 2 or 3 goal victory against forest. Never liked this lot much.
From what I've seen of NF recently, their biggest threat is Joe Lolley, I think he's OK. Grabban is a doubt with a knee injury, that's normally code for "he'll play".
For me, the two big threats are Watson in midfield & Lolley out wide, if we can negate both of them we'll win.
Forest fans think there biggest threats, and really their entire game plan is based around their fullbacks Cash and Ribeiro. Best in the league they think.
Great start, defending from the front again. Lets make it count.
Grabban missed a sitter.
Grabban had Bartley on toast there, dreadful defending and a terrible miss.
Bad challenge from Livermore who berates the Forest player for his reaction. They'd be having a look at that with VAR. No action in the Championship.
Our pressing from the front is starting to ease off. Should be pressuring them more. Also frustrating to see how easy Forest are getting through when they run - our central midfield don't do enough in that sense.
Cash gets a yellow. Terrible tackle on Pereira.
It was a soft yellow but they are booting Pereira at every opportunity though.
Not going to finish 11 v11 is it?
Cynical Forest, we must score first to bring them out.
Get in. Robinson with a composed finished after superb work from Pereira.
How do Forest react now? They like the counter attack but have to come out now?
Sow finally booked. Should change his approach.
That interception on Sow by Pereira was so satisfying after all his earlier dirty antics. Seems to be having a meltdown now.
1-1 own goal by Bartley.
What a terrible time to concede a goal. Especially one like that.
Been all over them today but we can't keep clean sheets. Will be an issue next season if we do go up.
Can't blame Bartley there thats a really good ball in.
Our defensive record at home is pretty grim. Only one clean sheet all season, so no surprise we’ve conceded again. Luton apart, we always do.
We've controlled the game to an extent but despite being 2nd best Forest have had all the best chances.
Not feeling this game, Were playing to their game.
If Bartley doesnt go for the ball they score anyway. Was just a top quality cross.
It’s criminal the way our flair players are targeted and hacked down. Isuppose they are under orders to snuff them out they should get far more protection by the referee.
Very scrappy game but really concerned how easy they are getting down our right side and always outnumber us with players just on the edge of our 18 yard box.
We have been the better side and we have the bench to hurt them as the game goes on but Forest are great on the counter and could hurt us. Finely balanced, I wouldn't be upset by a point, even if it does extend our poor home form.
Just seen the Livermore replay - stone wall red card. Very lucky boy.
Lucky it's all square with Grabbon missing a sitter.
Sky commentary very pro forest which is annoying me.
Ref seems to be protecting us a bit more this half.
Sow is impressing me today. Unsure if he could step up to prem but he seems to stand midfielders up well.
We need to dig in now. Forest are looking increasingly dangerous and yet we are not making much progress going forward.
Bartley did well vs Grabban couple of minutes ago but still had to tell Johnstone to come off line and collect. He isn't great when he has to think, just good at reflex saves.
Brilliant Pereira volley cleared off the line.
2-1 OG.
Dejavu.
I thought it was a foul on Ameobi. We have had the ref on our side today. Goodman p***** off. Love it.
Watson and Pereira so far contending for Motm in my humble opinion. Watson's positioning is top today, whilst Pereira is just Pereira. Very rich game in every element.
That was a penalty. Townsend rinsed.
It’s just as well there is no VAR as the goal would have been ruled out.
Ref has once again let us get away with one. I'd be annoyed as a Forest fan. Refs in this division are poor.
They are. We've had this bloke before and been on the end of bad decisions. But today we've been let off.
Sow off? Odd decision.
I'm not totally convinced it was a foul, Ameobi stuck his leg as he turned in front of Livermore and they got tangled.
He absolutely clattered him after Ameobi totally roasted him with a superb bit of skill.
Bartley hesitates, penalty should have been awarded against him.
Bartley very fortunate not to concede a penalty with a clear hands ball. We are getting the breaks today.
As for the pen, unsure as didn't look deliberate or an unnatural position, but still "feels" like one.
Ball to hand - he didn’t raise his arm.
If VAR was in this game we would be 2-1 down.
And down to 10 men.
The next time we moan about a referee - and we certainly will - we shouldn’t forget the days when we’ve had the rub of the green.
Almost another og by them.
Samba is a great keeper. Really rate him on this showing.
5 minutes of injury time.
2-2.
One shot on target. Johnstone concedes.
Great finish but doesn't take much to score against us.
This Forest team is gash in all honesty and I wouldn’t be worried about them challenging us. 2-2 is unfair but their Goalkeeper has kept them in it.
Great first touch and shot, turned Livermore on the edge of the box. Keeper got no chance.
We could rue this goal but in fairness Forest probably deserve a point.
Fair play to Forest. They’ve had pretty much everything go against them. Disappointing thing for us is we couldn’t take proper advantage of all our good fortune.
Bartley offside denies Livermore.
Bartley clears our shot off the line while sat offside. Awful end to the game.
Goal. Robbed.
He's actually onside and touches the ball over the line anyway.
Bartley is offside. Ball was over the line.
We will go up. But we will set records for most goals conceded and fewest clean sheets next season without signings.
In fairness, Johnstone was beaten by a very good shot but he should have been brave and done more with their first goal.
A point will do. We had the benefit of some dodgy decisions and their keeper had a blinder to be fair to him.
Bartley was offside at the end, you need to have 2 players playing you inside. Usually one of them is the keeper. Ball didn't go over anyway.
Ball was way over the line.
Robbed at the end. Perfectly good goal.
Can't really gave too many complaints. Our 2nd goal should not have stood. Livermore should probably have been sent off too. But we've only got ourselves to blame when we get such rub of the green. Only Sam Johnstone could concede 2 goals without making a save in 100 minutes of football.
We cannot defend. We're head and shoulders above Forest and completely dominated most of the game. Krovinovic MOTM he was superb. Sadly we've chucked 2 points away because we don't stop crosses coming in and close nothing down when teams get into dangerous areas.
I'd have taken 7 points from the previous three. Disappointing given the circumstances but if Forest are the best of the rest we have nothing to worry about. Absolute flogs.
Hard match that but happy with the way we played. Bartley had a stinker and we rode our luck a lot today. Ameobi was fouled in build up to our goal, Bartley handball should have been a pen to Forest and Livermore should have got a red for his foul in the first half.
Bartley touches the ball over the line though?
Prevents the defender clearing the ball.
Not a hope in hell would he have touched that let alone clear it.
Yes but his positioning at that moment was affecting the play and other players to interact with the ball, right? Offside for me, sadly. Better offside than another inaccurate decision by refs.
Would be a massive win but would take a draw, that way, if Fulham and Leeds both win, they will still be a win and a bit behind.
