According to Hodge ‘muff should be down to ten men
Kluivert should have been off for a second yellow, on at least two occasions, the ref then books Omobamidele for protesting, surprise, surprise Muff then sub Kluivert, when they should be down to ten men. Yet again more very inconsistent refereeing.
Silly yellow for Omobabadele
Another cheap yellow. This time it’s Tavares
We seem very reluctant to put the ball in the Muff box, lots of passing around the area, but the ball either doesn’t go in, or lacks quality.
Murillo has been excellent today...
Well done ref. They’ve got away with plenty this afternoon
Straight red for Billing.
Four times this season we have played teams who have been reduced to ten men, we haven’t scored against any of them, let’s put that right.
Billing can be a danger. Let’s go for it Forest
Klievert should have had a second yellow earlier.
Absolutely NO quality on any of our balls into the box, it’s been too easy for Muff, Neto has hardly made a save, but neither has Seles. Pretty poor game all round.
So very poor in the final third of the field.
We have even conceded a corner with 90 seconds to play, poor game management.
Would have taken a draw at 2 o’clock but we deserved all three I think.
We look more mad more like a doomed team every week. Even without a points deduction i doubt we’ll stay up. The team doesn’t seem any better under Nuno than it did under Cooper. Championship is starting to look like a real possibility.
Sorry Red, but i have to disagree, i don’t think we did anywhere near enough to win the game, but we also didn’t deserve to lose it either.
Two very poor teams played out a very poor game of football.

Sorry mate, I don’t agree with that. I think we were the better team today even with 111 v 11. Ball into the box was either non-existent or poor to be fair. However, we are in far more games now than we used to be. It’s literally just about the stupid goals we concede. I think we generally look more dangerous going forward and we have much more possession. If we stop leaking goals we can be a decent team.
Some good points Red, especially the conceding soft goals, but I just don’t see us finishing enough chances to win the important games. One win from 9 against the bottom teams, and most of them were at home.
We may stay up by default, depending on the outcome of the hearing against us, but it’s going to be close.
Luton this season remind me of us last season. Perhaps we need to copy some of what they are doing.
Neither keeper made a save of any note today, tells you a lot about the game.
Hope your right and I’m wrong, but fully respect your comments.

I’m going on the RN commentary which could have been a bit rose tinted. But it sounded like we played a lot in there half just didn’t have a cutting edge. Could have done with another striker to bring on. Is Ribera a striker or winger/wide AM?
