Official Matchday 22 - Forest vs Arsenal - 30th January 2024, 19.30

[Mr. Blonde]

Fully expected to lose to Arsenal but if Twat Gurner knew how to defend a near post that could easily have been a point earned

Although you could equally lay the blame at Montiel's door

Dreadful individual errors costing us yet again

 

[Grenville 1898]

Palace 3-2

Fair play to the team it looked like it could have been a big score but we got a grip.
A lot of positives but we have got to get a keeper tomorrow

It’s a shame and you hate having to single out individuals but both keepers have cost us dearly this season and it’s just unsustainable

Sigh.

Not a game to judge the season on obviously, we all know Arsenal are a great team, but with better keeper we get some points from that.

Even if we had a load of players back, Turner still loses us points with that mistake.

With each passing game it becomes more and more frustrating that we focused on changing manager instead of keeper. Nunos coming undone from the exact same individual errors, you just cannot keep making these errors at Prem level.

 

[Arthur's Cape]

I am not cross because we lost, I am fuc*ING fuming because after all that hard work we threw the f***er away.

 

[youreds1986]

Real shame that - but for the two errors it went to plan. Tough one but on we go. Great to see Taiwo and Elanga back.

Same problems as we had under Cooper.

If you give up so much possession and territory over 90 minutes, chances are you will make a mistake and be punished.

Mitigating circumstances, so not mad we set up as we did, but it's just so limiting

We got robbed a little in that extra time. Spent at least 2 minutes doing their best to find something wrong with Taiwo's goal, then there was at least 2 somewhat lengthy stoppages from players going down, and the time wasted by Arsenal taking their time on set pieces, and it's still barely 2 extra minutes on top of the 5. Damn!
Think the most frustrating thing is the type of goals we conceded, they worked so hard and did so well. What a shame. Sometimes it feels like everyone is pilling on Turner, but he really shouldn't be beaten as his near post like that. Shocking!

 

[trentside69]

I'm not complaining AND I'm NOT giving up on my team.

YOU REDS!!!!! Forest 'til i die. ​

In the end we managed to get a grip and without the clown in goal who knows how it would have worked out?
Until turner did his usual blunder I was expecting us to nick 1.

 

[Sir John Borlase Warren]

Well, I still reckon that Afcon, injuries and a disrupted January schedule are the real backdrop and in another week we'll be past the worst of all that. Sure, we absolutely must get a reliable keeper (and our brief had better be as good as he's cracked up to be) but there's still realistic hope. COYR.

If you guys see a international incident happening in Denver, it’s definitely not f***ing me

Exactly the same.

If you open up against this lot the same happens - thats when the goals came. Not easy against top level prem sides.

 

[Frank Clark’s Tash]

On that performance, the change in manager seems pretty pointless. If you didn't know Cooper had been sacked you'd never have guessed from that match (other than Cooper managed to beat Arsenal).

 

[Redemption]

A couple of mistakes cist the game. I'm not sure Turner's was as bad as many are making out but it comes in sequence so there you go. Montiel's was daft, as he'd had such a good game up to the point.

Good to see Awoniyi and Elanga back.

Nuno has nearly enough tools in the box to save the season. It starts here.

 

[tomw94]

Thought we were really poor tonight to be honest.
Atmosphere was crap too.

Didn’t expect a result but we looked like a poor team.

[Harry1982]

Would have been good to get something but elanga back, awoniyi back, then the lads from the Afcon and hopefully sangare comes back and nuno can get him playing to the potential we expected and its good days ahead. On awoniyi and keeping him fit, starting with wood and awoniyi for the 2nd half, if that keeps him fit for the rest of the season I'd be happy with that

 

[sammy the snake]

Lost to one of the top teams whilst we’re not at full strength 2-1. Outplayed really but ok scoreline well deserved win for Arse. I’m not going to blame Matt Turner on that goal… actually it was f***ing shit defending in the first place lol. Murillo by far man of the match, absolute beast of a player, we will be very fortunate to keep him, he’ll be off to lance Armstrong aka city.

We’re a bit f**ked now but there’s some hope in that Awoniyi scored, immediately shows his strength… MGW his engine is superb along with Dominguez.

They’re better than this, why do they show so much respect to Arsenal? I get it.. they can pass… but ffs, they need to grow a pair.

 

[UnFrustratedRed]

Disgraceful officials again, they never looked at the foul on Neco before Arse scored.
Good, backs-to-the-wall, performance let down by predictable errors.
The only reasons we go down this season are if we don't get a new keeper and get points deducted.

 

[ArchieGerbil]

VAR were not even looking at the push last review. shocking but expected.

 

[Gyros Peter]

Not to bash Cooper but there's a pretty big difference between labouring to nothing against Everton and taking on Arsenal.

 

[RedDogChris]

Sort of optimistic but am not really in a weird way. We for sure get something tonight with a decent keeper and we actually wouldn't be far off mid-table standard in general imo. But Turner/Vlach are so bad that we go down 100% regardless of point deductions if we don't recruit so it's a big 24/48 hours for sure.

 

[terrier57]

Oh dear, the day we didn't give Samba what he wanted...

 

[isaacs]

Frustrating to put in that much graft for yet another goalkeeper error, and to be fair to Turner he was solid all game from corners and in distribution but i'm sorry you just can't allow that goal at this level. And we can't keep having the same goalkeeper complaints game after game after game.

A big 48 hours shopping ahead because we need more firepower and another bastard goalkeeper. A big positive is the centre back partnership of Omo and Murillo (if Real Madrid or City arent in for him within 18 months i don't know anything about football, he's an absolute titan at 21, imagine what he's like at 26)
