Nottingham Forest - Luton Town

[Strawberry Avenger]

All that matters is the result.

Thought Ribeiro and Watson were immense. Silva was very good, the only midfielder who always looked to move us up through the phases of play.

Luton were better first half than I expected. I think they shocked a few on the pitch too. Connick was very good.

We don’t help ourselves though, we give the ball away too cheaply, Dawson the worst for it. We need to learn or better teams will punish us.

Incisive comment.

Great to hear that Rib' and Watson (who is now the player I always thought we'd get from Watson, he's reborn) were immense and that it's being recognised buy Forest fans.  And you're praise for Silva.  A few are noting his 'shifting gears' performance, though unsung, played it's part in at least one of the goals.  Silva (he's the best ACM we have at the moment...) and he seems attuned with the 'predatory press' that The Coach favours.  It requires that 'quick' shifting of gears.  Silva at least has the brain for it and he's adapted to the muck and nettles nature of the Championship reasonably well compared to other imports from abroad.

Luton are no mugs.  They work hard.  They play to their strengths.  And many of their results have been quite tight against Champ' opposition.  This is the kind of game Forest normally lose.

A seminal moment in our season?  It will be IF we beat Reading.  That's shaping up to be the 'bottle it' game.  Should have beaten Reading at their place.  Can we improve on that?

Forest were asleep for the 1st 20 mins.  We can't keep doing that.
