Not going to repeat everything I said in the match thread. Neither deserved a win frankly - both sides better than the sum of their performance today.
Both Notts and us were woeful at times, missing tap ins; fluffing up 1:1 with keepers on the counters and letting a lack of concentration break the flow of the game with frustrations overflowing and leading to unnecessary yellow cards.
Let’s not be that Club that expects to beat any team below us in the League and overly disappointed when we don’t because we haven’t yet lost a single match since we signed Fabian Hürzeler and have a fantastic bunch of new young players to bed in this season.
1 point gained by both sides.
2 points dropped by both.

100% 2 points dropped.
That game, IMO, was all about us. Forest had two shots all game both down to us - the soft penalty and the second goal where Veltman was two yards behind everyone else and allowed them to break the offside trap. Other than that they offered nothing.
Their goals were on us and the fact we only scored two was on us. Therefore, very clearly to my mind it's two points dropped.
A really disappointing result.

The free kick given against Welbeck was a total joke.....their player screaming and jumping in the air like welbz had snapped him, ultimately relieved the pressure they were under and the next passage of play they go and score the equaliser

2 points dropped against a meh Notts Forest side , need a win against Chelsea next week to revive our fortunes.
One of those reds that didn’t make much difference as it’s late enough for the depleted side to see the game out by repeatedly disrupting the flow. Got the offside trap spot on for almost the entire game. The one time we didn’t cost us the win, so 2 points dropped. Paid the price for not netting a third when we were playing some really good stuff and looked by far the more dangerous team.
Well they were both better than Adingra today
there haven't been many players to arrive ad hit the ground running, only Germans and Dutch. generally.

Rutter looks poor and Minteh a bit of a headless chicken, £ 70 m for the 2 looks a bit iffy atm. We not replaced the quality of caicedo, macalister and trossard or cucurella how he played for us and strange decisions losing gilmour, undav, barco, buenanotte and goykeres. Midtable

I'm a tad miffed, because why would you continue to have a high back line, against the best up and over long ball team in the league. Especially when you are 2-1 up.

Really. Rutter looks poor! He’s got a great touch and good movement. Game of opinions eh.
Control and movement wise I thought he was good. His passing was poor. He's a big strong unit as well. He like a lot of our team seems a bit penalty box / shot shy.
We love a facking patient build up. But we need a few pitiless arseholes up front too.

He scored 6 goals in 57 games for Leeds so I have no idea where the price tag came from
Absolutely. Not that anyone wants to see it, But, if we had shut up shop and put 11 man behind the ball and invited them on, they would not have scored a second.
this… if we had sat back they would never have scored, they just weren’t skilful enough. We let them back into that game with poor game management

Not good enough failing to beat Ipswich and Forest at home.
