Forest celebrating like they won a cup after beating a team that hasn’t won 2 in a row in the league
 
Played ok. Says a lot about the league when this Forest are third. If we could finish or find a man in the box with a cross we would be dangerous.

Main thing I took from tonight was what an absolute bunch of snide, cheating, time wasting twats Forest are. fecking embarassing the state of them. Special mention to their keeper time-wasting from mid way through the first half, Williams and Yates.
 
Better all round but over 20 shots and still somehow didnt look like scoring.

They played 2hrs football a few days ago yet we looked knackered and slow.

Special mention to Garnacho for being extra useless and shit.
 
Some nice football but I think Forest were pretty happy to let us have it for most of the evening, knowing outside of Bruno (who didn't have his best game) we lack the quality to make any use of the possession.
 
Garnacho, Zirkzee and Dorgu tonight looked like they belonged in that FA Youth Cup game yesterday. Bruno is still carrying the team on his back but he can't do it alone.
 
Not like the league matches matter this season anyway....

Performance wasn't bad. No cutting edge though. Lots of shots, very few clear chances though. All in the front 3 for me though, mainly the strikers .. we just don't have one. Maguire up top is far more dangerous than Hojlund or Zirkzee and that's just bad. Garnacho had a wasteful day, but also was by far our biggest threat so I can forgive off days in decision making when you keep going like him.

Dorgu was a bit shit. Pretty disappointed how Elanga got away from him so easily on that counter, looked like Dorgu was running with the hand brake on and just let him go thinking the others would get him.
 
Could of played another half and we wouldn’t have scored
 
We played better than expected and produced the match winner. Maybe that's enough.
 
The build up is improving and apart from that one counter I don't feel like Forest created anything, so defence looks alright.

The attack will come with signings as we've got nothing to offer going forward with this current crop.
 
Best I have seen us with the ball in a while. But Forest are very happy to not have possession, so not going to get too carried away. Hope Forest make champions league . Bit of a throwback side. If Amorim doesn’t get at least two forwards in the summer, we only going to slip further
 
Honestly this season could not end soon enough. Thank feck not that many games left.
 
Well, our guys tried very hard. Bruno is amazing but we need another one or two amazing players. Unfortunately, we don't have them. And I am not sure if Amorim brings anything to the table...
 
That was a decent performance and should have got a draw but just didn’t have the cutting edge today and desperately unlucky not to score at the end.

Looking at that team, we just need a little bit more quality in the final third and we win this game. Hopefully luck is on our side on Sunday.
 
I thought we played some decent football against a defensively decent team. Garnacho doesn't do well against mid/low block teams, he's more suited as an outlet when we're playing low block.. We desperately need creative players up top.
 
Lack the cutting edge, story of our season.
Honestly thought we had a chance today as we were fresher without the cup game. Oh well.

Yoro, Dalot and Zirkzee were decent.
 
Forest are having their Leicester season. We deserved more from that game. Same failings that have been there all season.
 
Absolutely toothless- no way we win the Europa league with our forward options! On the plus side, we look more organised
 
Forest away has been a tough game for many teams this season.
There was some tidy play from us, did enough for a least a draw, but not for the first time we're lacking the killer instinct, some of the decisions making in the final third erratic at times (not for the first time) Maguire offer the most threat after coming on. Onana didn't have much to do. You've got to take a tactical foul for the Elanga goal. Diallo plays tonight we win
 
Played well, they’re just having a freak season and everything is going well for them. We need better players in attacking positions.
 
Christ that felt interminable. Forest are a horrible scabby little team but I reckon we could've had another 90 minutes there and still not scored. Nowhere near enough quality in this team
 
Can't think of a worse forward line than ours in the league, so no surprise that a team could have 23 attempts and not trouble the keeper once!
 
Really frustrating watch that, but we definitely didn't deserve the defeat, easily the better team today, but their luck was in.
 
I’m usually quite positive to be fair, but even I’m surprised at the amount of positivity I’m seeing here tonight, thought we were shocking to be frank. Rubbish night but Forest are a side that are much better and tailor made to be difficult for us.
 
Yet another frustrating loss in such a frustrating season. Forest outside of their goal on the counter did nothing offensively. Defended well especially that clearance off the line at the end but United was toothless and probably wouldn't score if that game was played for another 90 mins.
 
Zero cutting edge in this team, it’s cost us all season and will continue until the we can sign some new players. The opposition only need to score one and then dig in and there’s a good chance they’ll come away with 3 points as we struggle to score one goal never mind 2 or 3.
 
For all the people wanting to rip into Garmacho right now, I would say to you… can I join in?… BUT let’s not be quick to do it because looking at Anthony Elektra tonight I’m having to face all the times I ripped him before. I’ve said things man. And he did us DIRTY tonight. He looked like Anthony Mbappe. Sure, there were some moments where he showed flashes of what we were frustrated with before, but a lot of us would swap him for *insert player* right now.

Maybe we just need to be patient? I dunno. I don’t have the answers.
 
Fair play? They dived and rolled like they were being shot at.
Was very lucky today but all in all a very good season and deserve to be where they are. They also beat city and pep Guardiola so I don’t believe anyone would be saying the ‘better coached team won’
 
Loads of possession although I seriously can't recall the forest keeper having a save to make. Same old same old. Toothless, mentality midgets. Astounded that garnacho got 90 minutes. If only he was half as good as he thinks he is. Can't beat a man, can't pick a player out and can't score. Other than that he nailed it. A real 2/10 performance. Put him in the bin!
 
Ahhh, we just can't score. It was an otherwise decent performance, we just need to be able to consistently put the ball into the net.
 
Just cannot press any advantage as we frustratingly cannot score goals. Was a problem and will be until reinforcements arrive. We desperately need them.

Garnacho is quite frustrating.

Forest are a nasty, sly team.
