Matchday 6: Preston Norty End Fan Comments

Calvin Plummer

Where’s everyone drinking?

Meadow Lane lots of pubs not friendly to ANY away fans. Stay safe!!

Forest looks like a decent side this year, so expect to be run ragged in midfield and torn a new one down the middle. If North End can offer something going forward, then it may give Forest something to think about, but this is the biggest challenge of the season, for North End.

They beat Fulham at their place last week and thrashed the shaggers (their term for Derby) mid week. I’m not confident about this one especially if he plays Maguire up front. A point would be a decent result.

Weird team, one fullback and no strikers.

Wow, that has to be one of the weirdest starting 11 I have seen.

This is exactly why you need a good squad. 6 first team players injured.

Has anyone ever played a 3-7-0 before?

Christ and I thought Tuesdays line up was mental.

Browne at right back against Sami Ameobi is a real worry.

Brilliant tactics from AN, produce a team so confusing it causes Sabri Lamouchi to have an aneurysm and we win by default.

Our pathetic summer window will see the 3 points staying in Nottingham today.

Very subdued atmosphere too, which surprises me, given both the home and away ends are packed t'rafters.

Forest do like a foul.

Two good chances already.

How are we not 1-0 up?

We're well on top now.

Are we dominating midfield? We bloody well should be with 7 of them.

We're dominating all over the pitch.

Forest can't get the ball Lol

Deserved lead!

How much do we deserve that goal?

Inches from being 2-0.

Never seen a team timewaste when they're losing.

As easy a half of football as we will have all season.

Scoreline massively flatters forest.

They've not had a meaningful shot all match.

Don't jinx it.

They've put six in midfield to counter us.

Forest playing better this half. Pressing higher up the pitch. Grabben had a good shot just over the bar.

Harrop could have been carded for a late challenge in the first half, but the ref opted just to talk about it. It's good to see willingness to get stuck in, but he needs to work on his timing.

And a couple of silly pushes in the back too. no problems with the yellow from me.

Forest are creeping back into it.

Forest 0-1 Preston NE*
Attendance 27,249 (1,610 PNE)​

Great away following.

Not bad from Forest either...

Forest trying to rough up Pearson.

What a f***ing bellend that's number 28 Tiago fuckin Silva.

1-1.

Every flamin time.

We really are a first half team.

Been coming.

Really poor goal to concede.

That looked offside to me.

I'd have settled for a draw before the started but we deserved more.

That’s the difference, they have strikers , we don’t.

Completely undeserved, first chance they’ve had all game, and it was offside.

In fairness their manager has far more quality at his disposal from their bench. It's changed the game a bit, bringing on a 13 million pound midfielder and someone as experienced as Adomah.

Doesn't help when we have 6 out.

If the table was in order of points per £million, we’d be right up there.

They won at Fulham midweek. They're not a bad side. Over 90mins it sounds about evens which isn't too bad.

This refs had a nightmare.

Forest should be down to 9 men.

Both their CBs should have gone.

Disappointing to lose two points but at least we haven’t lost.

Not a bad result given the unbalanced nature of our team and it's our first point on the road this season.

1-1 at Forest with their mega millions team is a good result today!

Gutted we don't come away with all 3 points but we've played really well today.

We've potentially drawn to an off side goal they should've been down to 9 men and we've restricted Forrest to very little.

With an injury ravaged side that’s a great point.

Never seen a team so bent on provoking a reaction from us.

Thought we played very well second half. Didn’t create a lot but dominant defensively. End of the day a £15m CAM has played in a £30k per week winger, who was offside for their goal. Pearson unreal today, another set of fans wondering why their midfield had an ‘off day’ Fully deserved 3 points but in the end 1 isn’t bad against a Forest side who will be up there come the end of the season.

Also worthy of note is how many fouls they committed as well as the amount of cards they got.

Not sending off whoever put in that shocker of a tackle on Pearson (and then giving the free kick the wrong way!) was yet another terrible decision by an inept referee in Geoff Eltringham. Forest fans are calling us cheats! Shows how little they know about football.

Definitely should have been down to 9 at the end of the game. Ref totally bottled it. Probs wouldn't have made a difference to the result but would've been a fair reflection on their lack of discipline.

If we could play Adomah and Grabban up front every week with our midfield I'd be creaming myself.

Forest got into the game second half but we stopped them creating clear cut chances and we did spend some time in their half. Would need another look to see if they were offside for the effort that was given a goal.

In the most part that was a great performance but too many square pegs in round holes.

Think every fan would have taken a point prior to KO today, the only real annoyance was how we totally dominated the first half again, and got pegged back again, except this time we weren’t dire second half. Thought second half forest shaded it but first we more than shaded it.

Forest scored from their only real chance all game, haven’t seen again but sounds potentially dubious for offside. Think its far to say we managed a good team very well indeed today and possibly ought to have got all 3 points.

It was Sow who took Pearson out with a dangerous challenge just after he’d been booked for going through the back of DJ. Incredibly he gave Forest the free kick. He was going to let him off for the first challenge until the fourth official told him it was a yellow card offence.

In the first half he gave a Forest a free kick when everyone in the ground could see Browne had been fouled, not once but twice. He also missed a blatant foul on Rafferty on the corner of the box near the end.

Who else thought a team of 3 defenders and 7 midfield players would out play Forest away and deserve to win, but for a dubious off side goal?

They said on the radio he (Browne) was tracking his man and played their scorer onside.

Two forest players clearly offside after watching replay.

Bring on VAR!!!

Just watched their goal back and both players are definitely offside. Closest of ours is Browne and he is half a body back from Adomhah.

Loved being in the same end as the Forest fans, always adds to the atmosphere sharing an end.

Great away day is forest, good away end and decent boozers close by.

Controlled the entire first half.*A point away at Forest with last season's top scorer at right back, a right winger at CF and our third choice RB at LB is a good point, regardless of the fact we could've been out of sight at half time.

Bodin bent Jenkinson over yesterday.

Just shows like last week that 2 different sets of fans can watch the same game and see it from a totally different viewpoint. One mans shithousery is another mans genius.

Calvins posts have finally filled the gap on a Sunday morning that used to be reserved for the Football Post.

Cash is King!
Some parallel thoughts from both sets of fans, at least we all agree the officiating was garbage.

Thanks for posting Calvin.

Good old Calvin. Interesting to see the other side's point of view, which was apparently to watch a different game!

We both get a point and we both don't like the ref.

I must have missed all the pathetic writhing they were doing. And the cheating when we were trying to take free kicks and throw ins. When’s the return? We’ll play like they did yesterday; see how they like it. Despite their fans insistence that they had several players out, they put out a formation which seemed to surprise us and we seemed totally outnumbered in the first half in midfield. Made for a scrappy and irritating game to watch.

Odd bunch, our multimillion pound squad has been bought through selling players from the academy, Sow should not of been sent off he fouled their player because he was fouled.
