Forest fans thought we were mostly great too. People get upset when games don't go how they think they should. Luckily football doesn't go according to scripts otherwise it would be boring as ****.

Gibbs White's second yellow was not soft! He scissored JP's legs, injuring him in the process, was off the ground, out of control and could well have been a straight red if not already booked.Great point for us, thought for 40 minutes we were good, two fantastic BHA goals especially the firstturned the first half on its head, disappointed with Gibbs White as he’s not a dirty player normally, his gob got him the first card and even though the ref motioned he got the ball the second yellow was a little soft ……Hope he learns from it.
Good luck between now and when you come to the WFCG, thanks for a great day out at the AMEX, look forward to BHA giving us a Champions of Sussex rendition which was the best banter by far from any away fans last season and welcoming you all to Nottingham

Yeah I have to say he's been most disappointing for me so far this season

Completely agree with this, and have been saying it in every game. You cannot play CBs who are so slow when the tactics mean they're exposed multiple times per game. You either have to play Kadioglu and Estupinan and have one of them always on defensive duty, or buy a CB with pace. As you say - £45m would have been far better spent on a pacey CB than Rutter.

We weren’t the poorer side most of the time
- we clearly out played Notts at the end of the first half and most of the second but some key decisions went against us - the pen was soft but a pen - the scoreline doesn’t reflect either sides performance - we failed to convert a number of chances; Notts missed some right tap ins and fluffed a number of 1:1s with Bart.
We should be and are much better than the result today and so are Notts tbh.
The goals by Hinsh and Danny against the standard of play by both teams gives me cause for hope today’s match wasn’t season defining.
1 point saved by both teams.
However, laying into new players like Rutter and Minteh when we can count the number of EPL fixtures they’ve played on one hand is insane - they are still bedding into a team that itself is getting used to a new manager.

There's something I've been thinking for a while - that at some point, if our run in the Premier League continues for the foreseeable, that we're going to have a generation of fans who have only known this.
The possibility exists for that generation to regularly be guilty of falling into Leeds-esque egowank of "should be beating #teamslike"
If he had not got second hello then surely var say red card. It was a shocking scissor tackle. Anyone arguing it was not a red does not understand football has changed in 15 years.

I think if you’d asked most people after 5 games we would have 9 points, be unbeaten and sit 7th- most knowledgable fans would be delighted and snap your hand off for that offer

We play some stunning football at times, including today, and have done all season so far.
In terms of avoiding defeat, this has been our best ever start to a top division season.
Fans who are complaining about how "shit" we are, are utterly embarrassing and should really f*** off and support Man City.

The only thing scoring it down a bit on Rotten tomatoes is the keeper never pulled out an award winning performance.
I think that will suit us (the big teams coming at us, that is) we got the players for it. Slow back four (but good at defending), some of the best wingers in the league, add a Welbz or Fergie and a fit Joao Pedro. Counter attacking at it’s best!

Most of their chances were flagged for offside so don't count.

The guy writing the match report on the club website needs sacking- describing Rutter as ‘impressive’ shows he was either pisssed as a fart or his specsavers eye test appointment was cancelled

We’ve spent £200m and look like last seasons injury hit squad. At least we beat Forest 1-0 with that squad.
Give RDZ that squad today and we would be all over them. Switching Mitoma to wing back when we need a goal pathetic.

We're not going to win them all.
In most games, there is another team out there, doing their damnedest to take the points.
Although we missed some chances, Forest defended well.
