Is this worse for us than a nice 2-0? Now that Brighton have no way back surely they won’t worry about resting anyone against us. I suppose as long as they’re knackered it doesn’t matter though.

Dunno if this is a good result or not. A knock to the confidence but they don't need to worry too much about saving players for the 2nd leg now.

I think it’s a great result for us, regardless if they don’t have to think about the 2nd leg, they’ve been suffering from some dogshit form (for their standards). I suspect it’ll continue with us.

We are a charity tho.

I think Robbo missed 2 penalties in the same game in Clough’s first full season (although he
scored from a rebound from one as we lost 1-2 at home to Hull).
Terry Curran took over duties from the spot for a while until he got injured a year or so later.
Robbo then took over again and became ‘dead eye Dick’ during the glory years.

Cheers Cloughie much appreciated. 🍻

Apparently Adingra was there main threat down Brightons left with more attacks coming down that side. Our right side will have be switched on -but I’m sure Super Neco will do the job.

We need to pressure their keeper. Some of his passing was very suspect.
Not Turner levels of panic but definitely something to target.

Yes, Robbo did indeed miss two and score from one rebound in that game, Cloughie. I think it was a day Notts were at home at Trent Bridge and I went back across Radcliffe Road after the game to rejoin some friends who’d also been to the Forest game. I remember we weren’t too complimentary about Robbo at the time, but when you’re about 12 you’re quick to blame missed penalties for a defeat but not so ready to question the defending at the other end…

Enjoyed watching that as a Roma fan, and as a Forest fan it made me feel much better about the weekend too.

They were absolutely abysmal tonight. Created a couple half chances from Welbeck headers and Adingra looked lively but aside from that they looked like a team that's run into a wall without the depth they need to be competing on multiple fronts. Dunk looked a complete liability and was embarrassed by Lukaku for the second goal. Their confidence will have been done no good by being played off the park tonight and that's three losses in a row in all comps for the first time under De Zerbi.

They will of course be dangerous and if they can put things together to get some pride back from this they can hurt us but I feel like tonight basically ended their season and if we play like we can there is a good chance we can turn them over on Sunday. It's a question of whether their pride can lift them or if their morale is too fragile to bounce back. I definitely fancy us getting a good result more than I did when the game kicked off tonight though.

George Lyall was the penalty taker when Cloughy took over but he missed one at Portsmouth, a reporter asked Clough after if the penalty had hit the post, the reply being I wish I'd hit him (Lyall) with the post! He didn't take more any as far as I can remember.

Yes,I went to that game in 1975-the penalty was nowhere near the post as it went way wide
of the target.
It was costly as well-Portsmouth scored a last minute equaliser!
