V Notts F*rest (h) match day thread

[SaintRam]

Favourite thing about the foul by Hefele is how far he had to bend down to get on eye level with the ref ?

Odds on a red in this game?

1/100 and it won’t be deserved. 

[GenBr]

Are Forest and the ref playing Rugby rules?

[wixman1884]

so far this is oddly one of our most composed performances in recent weeks

[GeneralRam]

That Yacob looks a good player.

[SaintRam]

There's that Tom Lawrence decision making we know and love.

[Van der MoodHoover]

8 shots but only 1 on target so far. Wish we could be a bit more accurate...

[wixman1884]

really captivating game so far. both teams looking deserving of their current league place. 

[SaintRam]

Quite a few offsides from Forest so far - which is great, but all of them have only been off by a hair and its resulted in a golden opportunity. We only need the linesman to not see one, or our defenders to be slightly off the pace, to concede.

[Coneheadjohn]

Lucky lad.

[SaintRam]

Good lad Bogle, let 'em know you're there.

Keith Stroud either hates us or is having a mare. But from his decisions you'd have to believe he hates us. Derby players clattered left, right and centre with nothing given (including a blatant pen). We win the ball and he keeps giving them freekicks. Fourth official needs to get hold of the him at half time and make the point he owes us big time. 

Lino at it now. Grabnan a yard offside in the middle but allowed to run through. We so badly need VAR. These guys are terrible. 

 

[SuperFrankieL]

Fairly even contest. Fiesty as any derby should and will be. Hopefully we'll get more out of Mount and Bryson in the second half.

[CWC1983]

That should be a red for Bogle. 

[GenBr]

Bogle should be off for me, but since we didnt get a pen for that kung fu kick to the chest i assume the ref is trying to make up for his mistake.

[cosmic]

Decent performance so far from us. Which has been lacking in recent games. 

[sage]

Clear penalty on Lawrence.

Yellow is correct for Bogle as he had a straight arm and didn't swing it.

Malone is a liability, as is Lawrence and Grabban worries me. 

[Anag Ram]

Intriguing game. No Derby player playing poorly.

Just needs one chance for Marriott and we'll be ahead. He will skin Heffalump.

[Day]

Don’t reckon much to this Forest team. Grabban’s no doubt a goal threat but doesn’t look quite at it tonight, hopefully that pill he took doesn’t kick in whatever it was. Also his beard is still the most ridiculous thing I’ve seen on the football pitch. 

We’ve had the better chances, Huddlestone with the best, didn’t need much but got right under it. Should have been a penalty without a doubt, Stroud has been a bit of a wally which is a concern with Bryson and Bogle on bookings.

Hefelump looks prime for a second booking thoughif we can get players running at him.

[Ghost of Clough]

The lads did well to not lose their heads after not getting the penalty, not getting the freekick for the foul on Wilson, then a dodgy freekick for a non-existent foul by Lawrence. Could easily have gone the way of Rotherham. 

HT came at a good time for us, with them starting to pile the pressure on. Fairly even overall (them maybe edging it ever so slightly)
