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

So frustrating!
The commitment was there, but so many basic errors.

 

[Mark Bisson]

Terrible result, still in the relegation zone and played a game more than everyone else. Grim.

 

[toffee-L]

That error by Doucoure sums him up completely, utterly brainless player.

Massive two points dropped I think, a win would have been huge not just for own points tally but it would have also presented Forest with a huge problem.

Simply have to beat Brentford now, can't afford anything less.

 

[Bob Latchford]

Yeah, they were poor though and we really have to take those chances to see out a win when teams are playing poorly.

They have a good home record but that was entirely in our hands at 2:1 against a team who were not showing a performance of the home record they have.

Very disappointing.
Shame they couldn’t get it over the line…

We don’t have enough games left to continue the attitude of “it’s fine, we just have to win next week.” We've been saying that for months now.

 

[The Binman]

Got to beat Brentford, anything less and it is goodnight.... scored 2 goals and still cant win a game, it was there for the taking. A point still no good and keeps us in the relegation zone....

This is my point, we just cant get out of it no matter what we do, I`m still feeling THIS is the season we go. Forest bitched us for the last 30 mins of that game and and no point did I ever think we wouldnt concede again. 5 wins from 26 is absolutely criminal, everyone else with a game in hand... Thats it lads pack it up, that was must win and they got to the position and bottled it....

Now there will be those going "what if" and "all it was", that is F`in irrelevant because we been saying the same all season and we are STILL in this position.

Brentford is now MUST MUST win, anything else and we are gone, we arent getting anything from the next 3 or 4 games after that. The only games we have against teams in the bottom HALF OF THE TABLE is Palace away, Leicester away, Wolves away and Bournemouth at home. The other nine are against teams in the top half....

Likely scenario is there is no way back from here.....

We aren’t beating Brentford

 

[COYB75]

Yep, we're running out of games now where you'd say "that's a good chance for a win".

Should have killed that game off and that's a massive 2 points dropped

Big plus is how shocking the Hammers were, they were awful against Brighton. Showed no fight whatsoever. Between us, Forest, Leeds and them. All utterly crap.

That is it for me what positives from the game but its the mistakes every time

 

[Rollo Tomassi]

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.

Well if we do win we will most likely be right behind them as as they are getting anything away at Tottenham and they have a lot of hard games left and even worse than we are away from home.

 

[RomanReigns]

We aren’t beating Brentford

if we keep 11 men this time we have a good chance

 

[Toffeelover]

Cannot understand bringing Davies and Maupay on ( 2 big pieces of mediocrity) when had Garner and Simms there.

 

[Bkk Andy]

it was a pen and the foul throw was given by the Linesman, keep up.

And he didn't attempt to overrule either.

 

[NathDogg]

You’d have ripped their arms off for a point before, but with how the game went or feels a bit like a defeat. Big chance to get ourselves moving away from the bottom gone. They have been lucky at home and they were lucky today, aided by an atrocious ref and officials.

Opportunity knocked and we hid behind the sofa.

If we had a midfield with any nous and who could pass would help, instead we’ve got just bang average, brain dead footballers.

Forest are awful and will be in the mix with us.

 

[Toffeeslam]

It was a terrible result because a win would have meant everything and a draw does nothing. We are on the brink and the games are only going to get more difficult

It’s not shocking it’s better than expected, where have you been this season ?

With this teams away form anything from an away game is not shocking considering how rubbish the team is

 

[Sharpies volley]

Is there a team in world football whose midfield players give the ball away as much as us. It's unbelievable.
