The Undead may be wearing flashy away kit with over-the-knee white socks setting off their tanned and muscled thighs, but nothing can hide the evil deep inside their black souls.
They got off to a confident start against the Reds, what with the Reds going through their early "Give 'em a goal" routine, but for all their swagger they failed to sustain their early threat, allowing Forest's defence to strengthen and their attack to cause trouble at the other end.
Forest's equaliser came from an expertly taken Osborn corner which found its way to Cummings, who scored with a powerful drive. Forest's second came from Darikwa's cross to the far post, Murphy's return across the box, and Dowell's neat finish.
Undead boss Chris "One-Eyed Big Gob" Wilder said "We won't stop going after other teams. We'll go after them, catch them, and eat their hearts out. Not today, of course."
Forest manager Warburton Warburton, apart from saying everything at least twice, seemed a personable fellow. "We needed that," he said, after drinking a deep glass of Bruichladdich single malt, brewed in Skye by the Gods of Peaty Pleasure.

It was an interesting idea. Give it to a defender in plenty of space who can easily make a clearance as a slide rule pass. They get surprised, confused by that and we take advantage, genius if you think about it

Well it worked time and time again against our defence in training.

Can’t beat a bit of reverse psychology on the football pitch. “This corner looks completely unthreatening...🤓”

That's it Will, defenders were expecting to battle the ball away. That one had a nice steady pass along the ground to him in space, was thrown by that, panicked and the rest is history. A clear training ground routine that was perfectly executed, all credit to Warburton, Weir, Osborn and Cummings for that

Might not work a second time though...

I recon they try it with the keeper next time

As it happened Lansbury used to try that with the keeper on most free kicks and corners, never worked but he was ahead of his time really
