WBA v Forest
After Match Comments....
We will go up. But we will set records for most goals conceded and fewest clean sheets next season without signings
In fairness, Johnstone was beaten by a very good shot but he should have been brave and done more with their first goal
A point will do. We had the benefit of some dodgy decisions and their keeper had a blinder to be fair to him.
Bartley was offside at the end, you need to have 2 players playing you inside. Usually one of them is the keeper. Ball didn't go over anyway.
Robbed at the end. Perfectly good goal
Keeps the unbeaten run going, just got to keep building on it
Can't really have too many complaints. Our 2nd goal should not have stood. Livermore should probably have been sent off too. But we've only got ourselves to blame when we get such rub of the green. Only Sam Johnstone could concede 2 goals without making a save in 100 minutes of football.
Bartley continues to be a liability at both ends.
We cannot defend. We're head and shoulders above Forest and completely dominated most of the game. Krovinovic MOTM he was superb. Sadly we've chucked 2 points away because we don't stop crosses coming in and close nothing down when teams get into dangerous areas.
Ball was way over the line
Think a few need to learn the offside rule.
I feel like we lost the game, what was that in the end? Was it really offside?
God that was frustrating. OK, so he wants to keep attacking and we could have got 3 or 4, but what a sucker punch.
Can't see their goal coming, we were in control before the equalizer.
But overall we played well, considering it's the third game for an unchanged starting XI in a week.
Can't understand how that goal wasn't given but the officials were shocking all game.
We were easily the better team, they scored 2 from one attempt on target, which really says it all
It was offside so it didn't count.
I thought the ref helped us today, watched it on TV and I can't believe Don Goodman is allowed to commentate our games though, absolutely biased Wolves idiot.
I'd have taken 7 points from the previous three. Disappointing given the circumstances but if Forest are the best of the rest we have nothing to worry about. Absolute flogs.
Hard match that but happy with the way we played. Bartley had a stinker and we rode our luck a lot today. Ameobi was fouled in build up to our goal, Bartley handball should have been a pen to Forest and Livermore should have got a red for his foul in the first half.
Thought Robinson was outstanding and Grosicki again looked really good. Really want to see Robinson start in the middle with Grosicki wide.
Disappointing not to see the game out but we had a few breaks from the ref. It was more important not to lose today than win. Difficult game. Forest organised and were trying to spoil it and hit us on the counter. Not good conditions. Generally we played well and caused them a lot of problems. Good team effort. Robinson played very well BUT should have passed it to HRK to make it 3-1 instead of taking the shot on himself. I thought Johnstone could have potentially cut out the cross for their first goal, nothing he could do about the equaliser. It was a shame we dropped off and let them get the ball down in the box, always dangerous. Credit to them, it was a good play and a strong hit but Townsend should have been a bit tighter on him - think we were terrified of giving away a penalty so stood of them and got done. Controversial at the end, mad scramble, ball definitely crossed the line and Bartley was in their net so I'm not sure about that decision
Criminal Forest have taken anything out that game. Their first shot on target in the 90th minute and they take a point.
I thought Forest were awful - the goal comes from their first shot in the game
Don't see Forest threatening the top two on that showing.
While we're at it Livermore should have been sent off. Our 2nd goal should have been ruled out for a foul and Forest should have had a penalty for clear handball against Bartley.
Agree with all that. They're supposedly one of the best teams in the league, especially away from home, and we played them off the park with a tired team.
We need to tighten up at the back and be more clinical but I'm confident regardless of the result we'll get promoted now. GIbbs will come back soon, Robinson has that goal and we still have Diangana to come back.
Forest decent at what they do, disciplined, good shape with some threat on the break. We know where the weaknesses are in our team and why we concede. SJ doesn't command, KB has an error a game in him, Sawyers links play well but poor at closing down and HRK's hold up is good but no threat. We genuinely go out to score at least one more than you and I'm happy with that. How these players will do in the PL is irrelevant cause we ay there yet.
Dissapointing to concede so late but it was a fantastic strike, and in a strange way not an unfair result. Our lead is intact and we stopped a rival gaining on us.
I'm actually OK with that result bearing in mind the luck we had with poor refereeing decisions.
I'm OK with it because of the sheer amount of chances we created to win it....but for great saves from their keeper and greedy decisions by us. My point is that its great to see us creating chances, on another day Robinson could have had a hat trick. Onwards and upwards!
Clear penalty.
Bartley’s arm prevents Lolley from getting on the end of the ball
Had it not been for his arm, he gets a shot at goal and likely scores
don't see where forest had bad decisions go against them that much.Seemed to me about 50/50, thought they were very lucky to still have 11 on the pitch after their cynical start. Must be ok to try to injure opponents in the first 20 mins. Consistently trying to break up play by fouling for the rest of the game they were given 1 point more than they deserved. We have not got away with anything yet, Livermore's 'defensive stud display' will, if Skye and mr don godawfulman have anything to do with it, result in yet another retrospective trial by tv red card for one of our players. Forest did seem particularly adept at tangling other players legs and getting free kicks for it though, and by the oldest trick in the book of stepping back into a covering player and diving forward as if fouled. This it seems meets the approval of mr godawfulman.
Still need a goalkeeper who understands and reads the game, and bosses the 6 yard box with a centre half who can work with him to do the same. I do not believe this is SJ and KB, still as others have said if forest are the best of the rest there is not too much to concern us. Promotion is entirely in our own hands, onwards and upwards COYB
I said in the pre match thread it’d be 1-1 or 2-2. Didn’t count on their second coming so late though.
We were lucky to get a point. Our first goal shouldn’t have been given because of an earlier foul. Our second was an own goal. Anyone suggesting we didn’t get the rub of the green from the ref is living in fantasy land.
Disappointing to concede late on to their only shot on target. We are a much better side than Forest, and you could tell that from the Forest manager and players' reactions.
We had enough chances to have won that comfortably. Robinson is a good new attacking outlet that get several decent shots away every game.
Can't be overly down as we were so superior to Forest. Krovinovic and Robinson were particularly good. Keep up that level of performance and we'll cruise to promotion.
The ref was awful and deserves the heaps of criticism he's getting but surely the assistants with 3 of these big decisions were actually responsible.
The offside, the tackle by Livermore and the handball were all the lino's job to spot.
The ref was quite cowardly, he just didn't give stuff that could have been given - worked to our advantage with the Bartley handball and the Ameobi tackle before our 2nd, both of which were "I've seen them given" things, but he also could/should have got the cards out much earlier for Forest, would've cleaned the game up to our advantage.
