Albion had 75% possession, 17 shots with 7 on target compared with Forest's 12 and 5.
We were the better team, but made mistakes which Forest punished.
Pretty sure that if we got the same stats on Saturday against Wolves, we'd probably end up with a different result.
After Sunday's disappointment, it was a bad day at the office.
Hopefully back to winning ways at home on Saturday.
Villa have Man United away. Liverpool at home to Spurs. Plenty of dropped points there.
Europe is still very much in our hands.
I think we'll do enough to be top 7 on merit and finish above at least one in our group of 4.
But if it comes down to GD, we're still in a very handy position
Liverpool +21
Brighton +17
Tottenham +7
Aston Villa +5
Didn't expect much other than a Villa home win tonight.
Frustrating, but 3 points tomorrow was still going be the order of the day regardless.
Albion players can consider the Villa gauntlet thrown down.
We're currently watching the best Albion side in history and we're going to qualify for Europe.
We're going to finish ahead of at least one of Villa, Liverpool or Spurs. And no team behind us is coming past.
No ifs. No buts. And definitely no need for gloomy defeatism now.
It's going to...
When it got to penalty 7 that Solly took, we had the following alternative options:
Mitoma - missed his penalty in the World Cup 2nd round shootout for Japan
Caicedo - missed his penalty in the Carabao Cup shootout at Charlton
Sanchez - goalkeeper
Veltman - not fit enough to start the match...
Yes, a return to winning ways against Forest and 3 valuable points will definitely soften the blow.
If it were a straight 'either or' choice between a final against Man City or the chance for regular midweek European excursions in a few months time, I'd happily take the latter.
This. I watched BBC1's coverage.
Albion were easily the more vocal of the 2 sets of fans - probably even a 3 chants to 1 ratio.
Make no mistake, 'Albion...Albion...' was ringing out clearly over the airwaves.
Losing on penalties to a distinctly average United side is bad enough without the...
Absolutely. Local lad who missed out on Wembley in 2019 because of injury.
Having his best season ever and on the fringe of the England squad.
In the 120th minute, he was still running at United defenders.
He doesn't deserve to have the brickbats today. Sanchez who'd had a very good game...
Well, quite.
Mitoma missed a shoot out penalty in the World Cup. He wouldn't have gone in front of Solly.
Credit to Solly for having the guts to take one. He was probably expecting it to be done in 5 penalties.
And with Albion taking first and the shootout taking place at the Albion end, so...
He would've had to take one sooner or later.
And he probably wasn't expecting to have to take number 7.
Taking 2nd and in front of the Brighton fans, United's penalty takers were nerveless.
Credit to Solly for stepping up.
Let's see the reaction against Forest on Wednesday and 3 valuable...
Oh Solly...I felt for him after that Charlton Carabao game.
Even more so now.
Let's not pile on Solly now, NSC. Missed 2019 with injury. And he's having a great season.
Time to concentrate on the league.
Onwards and upwards to Europe.
