Because some on here have been studying hard to become entitled twats. Forest are doing well this season, haven't lost yet, and beat Liverpool at home last week. Seriously the way some of you are talking I started to wonder if I had gotten onto an Arsenal forum
Yer they're doing ok, but we were favourites. We want to get top 6 so we have to win games like this.

In the end a point was probably the right result due to us not finishing them off and giving them 2 goals. I don’t agree with ‘Forest are shite’ comments. I think the table shows both clubs are at the same level currently, e.g with signings/money spent and points on the board!

What has happened to minteh? He was brilliant against Everton but has looked pony since!

wtf were forest moaning at? Scissor tackles are not allowed. That was a perfect example of why.

Really naive goal to concede when completely dominant at 2-1. We have to win that. As it happens lucky to draw after they bombed the break when dunk was booked. He has to play the ball earlier. Dreadful.

Mitoma looking back to near his best.

Estupinian was awful but will improve.

Jack was good.

Baleba going off changed the balance of the game as he was brilliant once he got his head back on.

Welbeck has to score after dancing through.
We did miss his pace when he went off but he was a misplaced tackle away from a red so the decision was probably right.

Today was like watching the movie you've seen 578 times.

Midfield dominance, impressive deep build up play, Crap crossing, ineffective set pieces, ref favouring the away team. They create a small number of high quality chances. Home draw

Great point for us, thought for 40 minutes we were good, two fantastic BHA goals especially the first😍 turned 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 🙏

Watching with a mate and no NSC chat - I enjoyed the game! Good game of football, entertaining. Probably should have won. Harsh penalty, but we should have created better chances in the first 15 minutes after half-time.

A similar story to Ipswich in that we had the chances to put this to bed (Welbeck, Rutter...) and were creative, but they defended solidly for the most part and we couldnt finish. The ref was horrendous, but what's new there. Mitoma was better this week, Hinshelwood did great in the middle. I'd like to see what Kadioglu can offer down the right.

The real worry is how high we defend, when our centre back pairing might as well be running through treacle. We bought Rutter in the summer who we dont need, but not a centre back with any kind of pace. It seemed so odd at the time, even more so now. The penalty came from a breakaway that we didnt cover, and their second much the same story - constantly trying to play offside but if the opposition are wise to it they're in time and again.

But, still unbeaten, probably roughly where we deserve to be in the table after 5 games.

This place seems a lot more reactionary and bitter than in previous seasons. We aren't going to be immediately Champions League competitors, a lot of new players and a new manager need time to bed in.

Dropped points but not all bad signs.

The way teams set up against us, home and away, is a huge compliment I think. We’re just not used to it. Well we better get used to it cos it’s only the really big teams that are going to come at us.
