We deserved that - no thanks to Dunk's hissy fit, for which we will most likely pay.
Other than that, a better performance than I expected, given our walking wounded, and a long-awaited victory at Forest.
Still, we really are down to bare bones, now, which doesn't bode well.

Get In.

seems some confusion whether Dunk had 2 yellows or Straight Red.
Losing Dunk for Chelsea/ Brentford/Burnley is not ideal
Straight red after he called the referee a “cheating ****” having already been booked seconds earlier

He'll be available for Burnley. If it was two yellows he'll miss Chelsea, if it was a straight red then he'll miss Brentford as well (assuming he was sent off for insulting, offensive or abusive language towards the ref). No chance he misses 3 games (3 game bans are for reds shown for serious foul play or violent conduct neither cover anything Dunk did).

There was no need for any of that - should have been an easy win.

Ref absolutely ballsed up calming the situation. In fact he just added fuel to the fire.

Yes Dunk was stupid doing what he did - but a better ref would have told him "get away from me NOW or you're off".

I just think English refs are attention seeking narcissists and like to make the game all about them - which he did - and that he would have loved the drama of Forest going on to win.
