Brum v Nottingham Forest - Match Thread

Sabri described the performance as ‘Naive and sometimes stupid’, I think that sums today’s performance up perfectly. The question now is why didn’t he do something about it during the game ?
Next week v Leeds is massively interesting, both are capable of ‘bottling it’, both can be excellent on their day, my worry is that we are at home, I just hope we can raise it for this one, but again have absolutely no idea how this one will pan out. By now we should be calling this a ‘six pointer’ but in reality it’s not as either team are capable of dropping points on a regular basis.

Guess the good thing is Leeds won’t sit back and defend

We will lose to Leeds next week - I am absolutely certain of that

Whilst Leeds are somewhat stuttering, they do press consistently, and are all out attack - I don’t think we’ll be able to cope with the pressure they’ll put us under, and I’m certain they’ll beat quite convincingly

I’ll be staggered if we manage to beat them, because the way we play at home, allowing teams to attack us will play right into their strengths - not looking forward to it

Rev I’d normally agree with you, but our recent home record v Leeds isn’t too bad and a bit like Leeds playing Wigan, they can struggle with us, but only if we can create problems for them, sit back and they will destroy us, take the game too them and they may panic.
It certainly isn’t usually dull.

Maybe I’m just trying to psychologically prepare myself for next week, so if and when we lose, I’d at least mentally prepared myself for it

Mind you, the flip side of that, is that if we happen to win next week, I’ll possibly have a breakdown

Rev, you crease me up at times

REV are you saying that after the last twenty years following Forest you are not yet psychologically prepared for disappointments and let-downs on a more or less monthly basis.?

Red of course I’m prepared and hardened to our ongoing failure....however, surely at some point, that’s got to change, surely if the likes of Bournemouth, Burnley, Brighton, Watford, Leicester et-all can make a success of it, then surely we have to at some too

I really did think, that this season we had our best chance to actually challenge and go up...I really did

....maybe we still have that chance, but more than likely, know it’s Forest, we’ll blow it and be back at square one next season with it all to do once again

We’ll just have to see, I’m hopeful, and also prepared for the pain and disappointment

It’s bloody self inflicted torture

Anybody else think Diakhaby looked poor?

Grabban's face said it all!

Walker looked great though. Not only has he bulked up, but he has also got faster acceleration.
