Nottingham Forest - Brentford

[Sausage Roll]

Can’t work out last night. Uncharacteristic poor defensively, Milenkovic had a mare but he has carried us all season so cant be too harsh, there were warning signs at the back before we conceded too.

Cant help feeling we’ve played similar on other occasions but got a lucky bounce, sneaked a goal and not made the defensive mistakes and everyone has gone yes brilliant Forest are magic. Is it simply that a bit of that good fortune is starting to even out? Whilst we have clearly improved massively this season I cant help feeling we have rode our luck at times, Man Utd, Tottenham, even Southampton we were lucky to get away with the win.

Or finally the more optimistic take is that the last 2 games Everton and Brentford are just very awkward opponents and the type we struggle against? The fact remains a lot of our success is built on taking an early lead. Saw a stat last night, not sure if true, we have taken only 4 points in 12 games where we haven’t scored first.

I think it's actually 4 points from being behind (3 vs. Villa and 1 from Brighton) but we did score first vs. Brighton.
