HT 0-1

Bright start. Forest losing due to 'preventable' goal.

Pretty similar to Forest's early season run under Hughton.

Who was the Forest player marking Smith for the goal?

Samba rooted for the cross.

Was that Yates outmuscled for the cross?

SA.

[Mcforest]

Samba's not watching the flight of ball and moved into a no man's land position and header right into corner.
SC screaming at his players to be brave on the ball and turn to go forward and stop safety first passes backwards.

Keeper error?

SA.

Sort of we try to have keepers move near post if the ball is floated that way as the attacking of the ball creates that kind of striker movement. 
He moved central and was flat on his feet. So unless it was right him he had no chance no matter where he headed it. It's like he didn't watch what was happening or where he was in the goal.

Looked like JW. He hasn't looked comfortable on rcb roll today.

Forest showing some bright moments but few and far between. Milwall pressing high when Forest trying to play out from the back and putting us under loads of pressure. When their keeper gets it they go long looking for Smith. Well deserved lead to be honest. Forest got their work cut out. Spence very good again, no other performance of note. Lolley trying hard but failing to deliver, zinc should come on early. Disappointed that Taylor had to come on, unfortunately I don’t rate him.

You just knew smithy would score against us.. we let him have every single header without any pressure.. I get he's a tall lad.but there's no way he should be winning every single header..

will cooper change anything?

we seem to play it backwards at every opportunity, always seems alot of unneccessary premature sideways passes when there is no pressure on the ball

been a while so looking forward to Forest scoring 4 in the 2nd half

Ben Bre Dias scoring '2' today?

He wouldn't have saved it anyway

They have won 74 % of headed duels….
