Nottingham Forest - Crystal Palace

I believe Dennis was ill today otherwise he probably would have played.

It doesn't matter we won and deservedly so.

Phenomenal result today first I managed to correctly predict the score and I feel that I now could go on a run, however the most important thing is that we will not be bottom on Christmas Day. What a result!

Gone a bit unnoticed but nice to see Dale Taylor on the bench today.

Classic.

Great deserved win get a few signings in now new striker and let’s get up that table it’s great to go into the break with a confidence boost

Brilliant win. Scarpa coming in January. Just need a proper centre forward who can hold up the ball and perhaps a couple more to maintain squad depth.

After the defensive performance today I think just a CF will be enough. Can't see Scarpa getting in the team after the surprise resurgence of JLingz!

A win is a win is a win.........but he has to stop playing these 3 up top.........it does not work.

1 shot on goal all match which was the goal...........

No hold up play.........

No outlet..........

We can destroy Spurs and then struggle again against Palace.......

Been thinking for a while you talk rubbish mate. This confirms it.

Huge win today and looked the best team against very good opponents.

Onwards and most definitely upwards with Cooper at the helm

COYR!

Great win today. Wozza and Boly looked sound after the first 15, 20 minutes when it looked a bit chaotic. I said the other night, its nice having a player like Wozza in there who can play out. It makes such a difference.

Some were laughing the other day when I said Yates could yet play for England. But this is what, the 4th or 5th game in about 6 or 7 that he's run the game? Keep going like that and good things happen.

Aurier is an absolute rock now for us and if it weren't for Yates he'd be my player of the season so far.

Lingard looks fit now. Im sure he had 2 chins when we signed him. MGM looks suddenly full of confidence too.

The only frustration now for me is Johnson. I dont like to beat the lad up but I still dont know what he's adding to the side. He cant cross, he misses chances and his pace is not the weapon it was last season. He frustrates me because he's playing in there ahead of a proper striker who would give us a physical presence.

But enough negatives today was a great performance against a pretty good team. We got out of jail with the penalty miss and I reckon MGW was easily offside but we ground out a win, which is what matters. Great day and we can now enjoy the world cup not being on the bottom.

Agree with most of that Pap. Thought Johnson was pretty good actually and a constant threat but agree his final ball was poor.
Think Cooper set us up deliberately to match up Palace who play a very similar formation, Zaha is a superb player but probably isnt an orthodox strike either.
All in all to create by far the better chances I am very happy.
Im not the only one then who thought MGW looked well offside even on the freeze frame! Always loved VAR me.

You've got to think its between Brennan and Lingard for that last spot once we sign a striker in January. At this point I reckon we're a good striker away from being a good team. Admittedly it's the hardest and most expensive position to find so easier said than done!
