Match Thread Nottingham Forest vs Everton - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

Big problem is we didn't get McNeil on the ball enough the second half. MOTM for me. Decent from Keane and Coleman too. Doucoure had a hit and miss game with the error overshadowing some decent work but we lost midfield nearly all game.

We had enough situations to put the game to bed. Gray had time to take a touch and shoot which would have killed them off.

It's been said a million times but not getting an attacker in Jan will kill us. They were so there for the taking today. I thought we looked fairly comfortable. Got a 3rd and it would have been game over...

 

[Drico]

Stopped the rot, dug in when we previously would have easily been rolled over after conceding the second. Lots to work on but lots of positives. Should give the players a bit of confidence going into the Brentford game which really does need to be a win.

Nice.

Not buying a syllable of it, mind.

Doucoure did alright, but that clumsy, lackadaisical, pathetic, stupid attempt of a pass has ultimately cost us today.

 

[Nightman]

Play like that for the rest of the season and we'll be well clear of bottom 3.

Tarkowvsky
Godfrey
Doucoure
McNeil
Gueye

You keep buying from relegated clubs, eventually you'll get...

Threw it away
Doucoure hero to zero in two halves

There are no better players. They are all shockingly bad, and championship level, Pickford aside.

Hence the quotations.

 

[BlueShark]

Such a shame we didn't build on that first half and tried to hang on for 45 minutes.

Not the worst performance but we needed more than a point from this.

 

[Joey66]

Dyche stooped to the level of his players today.

Time wasting by the corner flag instead of going for the killer 3 rd goal ? That was as early as the 65th minutes on the clock ?

Nothing positive about that 2nd half & his substitutions? Maupay & Davies fgs?

 

[Andy McGurk]

Onana was anonymous all game, had he been on it maybe we could have held on.

Not really. Even a home win next week does guarantee to draw Forest back to us. A win today did. We'll take whatever wins we can get, but people are deluding themselves if they think today's point was a good one. It's another missed opportunity to defeat a direct rival. We couldn't beat Forest in two attempts this season, have already lost at home to Southampton. Leicester, and Wolves, and been beaten at West Ham and Bournemouth. Those are the results of a relegated side. Today was a chance to rebalance the trend - and it was missed.

I'm not trying to overthink it. A win next week will mean that this draw fine as it will be 4 points to Everton over two games, which is good

Tom Davies comes on and does what Tom Davies does every time he’s on a football pitch - give the ball away in a stupid area. How does this clown get on?

Doesn’t matter if he comes on for 25 minutes or 5 minutes, it happens every game.

 

[Mr PEN86]

Disappointing result but we were decent in patches. Second half we seem to have the ball in attacking areas but clueless as what to do with it. Sigh. Godfrey keeps Myko on the bench for the next game. Would love to begrudge Keane but he didn't have the worst match. Still need Mina in. Shoutout our supporters today as well. Safe one home
