Clapping the team off at half time should be the norm. It's the booing that's often fickle. We should support our team.

There's nothing fickle about booing or cheering. It's cheering when you were about to start booing that is fickle, or vice versa.

The referee was poor, but like you say for both teams. Mills had a shocker, Knight was excellent. Mark Davies looked like he was already in Wales and Andrews wasn't much better. I thought Kevin Davies & Sordell did well, the change should have come in midfield, not upfront.

yep 2-2 just about a fair result although we were hanging on a bit at times! You are a very good team and wont loose too many this season. As long as we finish above the Sheep shite we'll be happy.
Keep the faith and yes I still hate Gary Megson.
See you at the City Ground.

I see what you're saying, I'm still pissed off at the arseholes who booed on Tuesday.

I thought it was an encouraging performance. We need to tighten up at the back, but Mark Davies showed why he should be playing in a more advanced role, he played well during our spell of pressure but went missing again when we had to defend.

At about 75//80 minutes we were crying out for fresh legs and fresh ideas, god knows why Coyle didn't do it. Wylde, Petrov and Vela all could of made a difference if they'd got on.

Good match though, we passed it well second half, but we're so poor at defending it lets us down. Knight had a good game, needs a partner who will organise though.

We improved second time half and had a couple of nice moves but certainly didn't get anywhere near the level we'll need to go up.

as ever the defending was abysmal at times, caught again and again in the first half and i thought Mills was poor.

Credit Knight, Sordell, Davies and Eagles who i thought all played well. (bar that mistake by Knight at the end?!)

We got worse when Sordell went off his impact up top is underrated IMO, he has the ability to hold the ball up.

Enjoyed tnites game. Just on way home now. 2-2 a fair result but id bring back ream for mills next game. Mills at times just didnt look aware what was going on around him. His heading isnt directed and hes extremely slow. Reams quick which i think is what we need. Im not knights biggest fan but was impressed with him tnite. Anyone sat in west lower? There was a gery vocal guy near me that was absolutely hilarious!

Forest first goal (well just the action replay really) here -

We don't want Sordell to hold the ball up, we want hinm to bloody finish ! I was disappointed in how we seemed to accept the draw after about 75 minutes. disappointed in Mills, Why haven't we got a player prepared to take the responsibility of controlling the match from midfield ? Drop SKD to midfield for now, he has the desire, and the abilty, and we won't miss him in attack, although he played well toniught. Mavies was non-existent, apart form our purple patch when he seemed to come to life. Still no apparent game plan, although its nice to know were not going to get turned over every time we turn ;up.

Agreed, that would not be good.

We NEED a player to take control of the centre mids and centre backs though, there's no organisation back there anymore. Zat Knight is looking far better though.

Whole team looked more confident once they got into their stride, I feel positive. Just hoping we can continue to build.

Bogdan: Steady performance.
Ricketts: Cant really remember him in the game.
Mills: Look utter crap.
Knight: played ok and put in some good tackles.
Mears: Every cross went to their keeper, Would sooner have Gretar.
C.Y.L. In and out of the game (Should have brought Petrov on and moved Eagles to the right).
Mavies: If we get 8 mill take it and run, was not in the game.
Andrews: Were is his Euro form.
Eagles: 10/10 tonight and been our best player in last 2 games.
Davies: 2 assists but past it im afraid.
Sordell: Dont know what to make of him.

The game: Could have gone either way in the 2nd half I was thinking that we were going to win the game but the last 10 minutes only 1 team looked like scoring.

Coyle: Think he settled for the draw I would have brought Petrov on for C.Y.L. and Wylde on for Mavies.
Played Petrov Left Wylde Right to run at the full backs (If Eagles can out run the full back these 2 would have left them for dead )and move Eagles in side.

Ref: Utter crap I thought Premiership refs were rubbish but these lads are a joke.

Can't quite put a finger on the problem .....most did ok tonight. There is just a lack of ideas from the middle somehow. They split us open with ease in the first half ...we were still lumping it forward. I don't know.... to me we were lucky to get a draw at home. Eagles was our best player IMO. Mills, Mavies & Andrews shaky for me. OC one sub..... and an 85 year old SKD left on for his third game in 7 days..... don't make sense to me....but I know nowt appearently.
It's not good enough but what's the solution?

Good match I thought, fair result,.. Sick off hearing the fans boo, can't win every match. Are we the new West Ham?

Pretty sure today's booing was for the referee, BTID.

Really, I didnt think that, but if that was the case, boo on

Probably got people tweeting shite to him

Turning point sordells miss at 2-1 to make it 3-1 i said to my mate thats gonna cost us and i was right.KD a leader out there and ive slated him not to start this season.Mark Davies M.I.A.Wrong Davies get Spearing, and Holden cant come back soon enough.Nothing can be done when someone hits a worldy to make it 1-0 not much you can do.Happy with the fight back and Sordell and Kd could have won it Sordell.s especially to kill the game.Need Holden back and a tough tackling midfielder.Early days.
