Only we would play a short free kick from 45 yards out in the 100th minute of a game when losing.

I got irrationally angry about that.

Don't know what game some people were watching tbh, it was hardly a lucky break from Forest, they had a game plan and stuck to it and it worked. Got their lead early in the second half having threatened to do so from the moment they equalised and then were happy to sit on their advantage. Had clearly done their homework on us and knew we were more dangerous down the middle via O'Hare and Hamer so packed the box and forced us out wide. Admittedly some of DaCosta's crosses threatened them a bit more than they were likely expecting, but that was always their games plan. It's easy to look at the stats or just watch the last half an hour and say we dominated but it's always going to look that way when one team parks the bus after going ahead and in reality we only really created two meaningful chances in the second half, the Hamer shot which the keeper did well with and the Ostigard header.

It's always a lucky break when the ball goes in off a defender like that. Hardly what they'd planned to do.

One shot on target all game tonight, 97th minute penalty gift at their place, it's outrageous they've won both games.

No but they’d been the better side up until that point and looked more threatening. Impossible to say how they would have approached the second half had it not gone in.

Maybe but we need 7 more wins from 19, it's a coin toss for me at this moment in time as we are shooting ourselves in the foot almost every game
Click to expand...

That would take us to 51 and that’s without any draws. We probably need 5 wins and 5 draws rather than needing 7 wins

I thought we were better in the away game than we were tonight tbh. Like I said they completely surrendered possession as soon as they went 2-1. From our first goal until their second they were the better side and deserved to be ahead.

Repeat, just one shot on target tonight. Marosi was barely tested.

Because they didn’t need to attack for half the game.

OK, let's suppose they doubled their efforts from the first half in the second and got 2 on target.

Did 9 hours of work in 6.5 hours, plus drove back from Southampton for that... plus missed the goal

Although my dash cam probably caught some language after Biamous goal

Has any other team managed to lose 2-1 when the opposition have only had 1 shot on target? Could only happen to us! You have to laugh really, don’t you? Somebody? Anybody else laughing with me?

just had a look at the Watford message board, makes this place sound cheerful. They aren't confident. Let's hope they're as bad as they think.

The cutting edge in front of goal cost us again and forest had a game, plan that worked to perfection and that's it in the cold light of day. Did we deserve to win yes we did. But we didn't!

Second half they didn’t seem to have much of a plan just hope that we can’t take chances. Won’t get an easier 6 points all season for playing garbage

probably won't have a drink Saturday either as it's a 12:30 kick off. I'm not sure watching these games sober is a good idea.

Like others it’s the way the game pans out that annoys me more than the result.

Yeah, that's fair. I know exactly why we haven't won it. As well as Biamou took his goal there just wasn't instinct from anyone to get on the end of some of the good crosses in the second half.

The thing I don’t understand about him and Bakayoko is they just dont look like actual forwards in terms of movement or instinct. They rarely score “scruffy” goals - it’s some volley, overhead or long range hit - and that’s not really being out of their depth - it’s just not having forward thinking mindset

He’s right though - we never really threatened them and once ahead they thought they could defend the game out
