At least on of their fans saw the game for what it was:

Forest - You can see they have some decent players but they seemed scared of us after being hammered by Fulham. Didn't try and get forward first half but looked dangerous on the occasions they did. Spence looked exceptional, both defensively and going forward.

They don’t seem to rate Osborn.

I thought Norwood had a decent game tbh.

They don't seem to rate anyone, can't stand them. Up there with Wolves for having hateable "supporters".

Ive worked with 2 or 3 Sheff Utd supporters over the years. All all of them arses.

Sounds about right.

They seem to revel in being d1cks, despite being the smallest clubbing their City.

To be fair, alot of Forest fans didn't.

I liked Osborn.  Part of me wishes he was still here.

I can see that.  Sounds fair.  Almost like we gave them too much respect 1st half.  But we did have a LB missing which mean that Colback was taken out of CM where he and Ryan have forged a good working partnership.

I thought Forest 'hung' pretty well with two ex Premiership sides in Fulham and Sheff Utd.

Both games 'could' have seen better results for Forest with up to 3 points going astray.

[Marinakis Red]

I weirdly thought we were better against Fulham in our all round play and got thumped.

[Strawberry Avenger]

Aye. You could tell we'd lost our 'only' LB against Sheff Utd, it affected the team balance. We were cautious 1st half vs Sheff U.

Fulham were lucky we didn't go a goal up.

PNE Fans Pre Match Comments.........

McCann Vs James Garner could be a good battle.

Two days off... Not really fair that after the long trip to Bournemouth and a hard fought game. Now another away game... Could adversely affect the performance.
Hoping for the best. Stay safe travelling gentry....

Alternatively, most managers say they want to get right back out there after a good win.

Fitness levels against a likely possession based side could be the difference though.

I don't think fitness levels should be an issue really, however, the way people keep banging on about it, you have to wonder why they don't just revert to how it used to be, as in nearly all midweek games were played on a Tuesday night. Tuesday-sarurday, no whinging, no issues, same for everybody. That would be too easy though wouldn't it?!
Sky to blame for the majority of all this S**t for me

Does anyone feel with this squad and a good manager we could be challenging a play off this year?. All I see are Bournemouth, Fulham and WBA, Sheff United rest bang average. COYW.

Winnable game this but they’ve had a days extra rest than us and didn’t have the physical strain of holding on against Bournemouth

Can’t predict this one

Looking forward to this one. Always a good away trip. Go and pay homage to “Old Big Ed’s” statue, great balti pies and lots of booing when “Mull of Kintyre” drifts over the loudspeaker. Come on you Whites.

I had to return my ticket for this one yesterday because still not well, I’m gutted. Will have to make do with radio and honey and lemon. I’m not sure about this game to be honest because I think Forest have an unfair advantage in terms of rest time between games. Having said that, we are on a roll and the players will be wanting to go into the International break in good form. All I can say is COYW.

Only been Forest once.....The infamous Barry Knight game where I was chucked off just after they equalised.

Not feeling confident today but then again, I never do.

A win would be unbelievable but I’d snatch a point right now.

4 points from the last 2 games would be

The only game I've seen at Forest too. Played football against Nottingham University many, many times, always ending up in stupid out of it revelry. The game above, we were outstanding - one of the best away performances ever. Listening to 606 driving back to London, A Forest fan came on and said, 'Preston are the best team he'd seen at the City Ground - even with nine men, they were way better than Forest.' It was the game when Moyesie climbed up the stand, to reach the Referee Standards guy...

Yep.

Playing with 9 men and they still only beat us 3-1 with that cheating f**k giving them 2 pens.

I hope he doesn’t go unchanged, we need some fresh legs for this.

Feels a bit daft to move Sepp from CB to accommodate, Storey, but with Olosunde out it’s either that or keep Barky there

The only other obvious areas to freshen up are up front and in the 10

Been to the county ground but never the florists. Was looking forward to this but flami FLU struck,probably at the last home game. Feeling crap but will be listening in and rooting for the lads.

Not a cat in hells chance Frankie will change a winning team. He barely had the courage or tactical nous to make a change when we weren’t winning unless an injury forced him to do so.

What year was that PL...don't remember that game?

Our first season back in the championship pal.

4th November 2000

Alexander and Murdock sent off for us and 2 pens for them after Macken put us 1 up in the first 2 or 3 minutes.

Oh Barry Knight
Sad old b*****d hasn't got a clue
Hates all teams that play in White and Blue
Oh what a b*****d Barry Knight.


#White and Blue refers to both ourselves and Bolton.

In May 2000, during a Football League First Division play-off semi-final between Bolton Wanderers and Ipswich Town he issued 12 yellow and two red cards to Bolton players, and none to Ipswich players, whilst awarding three highly controversial penalties in Ipswich's favour.[6] Several Bolton staff, including manager Sam Allardyce, captain Guðni Bergsson, and midfielder Paul Warhurst, were fined by the Football Association for comments relating to Knight's officiating of the game. Knight was never appointed to referee a game at Bolton again.

Tasty game! Makes sense.....I was out of the country for the first half of that season.

Forest 2-2 PNE
Grabban

Forest 0 - 3 PNE
McCann

They hate being called Notts btw, that's for County only !

Forest 0-1 PNE

It's got to be Maguire at some point, surely? SURELY?!

PNE Fans Match Comments 1st Half........


Potts up front, I take back everything I said about Frankie turning a corner

FFS FRANKIE!
what's the deal with Potts?

Suppose there’s no chance it’s a diamond with Barky up top is there? Anyone? Please?

Give Potts a chance, it's only fair. No doubt though, every fault will be magnified and the slating will ensue.

I’m not slating Potts, I like him. He’s not a striker though.

Give Potts a chance, it's only fair. No doubt though, every fault will be magnified and the slating will ensue.

He’s had 13 chances up front. It hasn’t worked. Start him in the 10 and put Sinclair up top. He obviously doesn’t like playing up top, and with the fact he can’t finish a thing, why keep persisting with him up there which inevitably leads to him getting slated

Suppose the argument might be that we want someone a bit more physical against Forest’s trio of centre halves.

Unfortunately Potts is gash with his back to goal so that makes no sense at all.

Upside over Maguire is the fact he might actually score a goal, but Maguire is definitely better with his back to goal.

Desperately need Chedwyn back, massive upgrade on Maguire and Potts

They always say ‘don’t get too low when you lose, Blackpool- don’t get too high when you win, Bournemouth’
Back down to earth today. A draw would be good at Nottingham.
Reading Klopp’s comments on Liverpool’s website, he said they struggled to cope with the pace of Potts break through from midfield and that’s why he changed Matip for Phillips. High praise from a top manager, so maybe he’s not as bad as made out on here. Poor shots with his left foot mind you.

Good afternoon all, hope we continue in the same vein today as on Wednesday night. Not sure that Forest are anywhere like the team they were years ago, so we have got a good chance to take points.

If you're referring to 1979 then you're right, they are nothing like that team

Incidentally that game against Malmo was the first time I was allowed to stay up late as far as I remember....didn't that cry-baby Francis hit the bar with a header at one point in that game?

I can remember watching the Hamburg game which would have been a few weeks before I turned 7.

Robbo with the winner of course.

I don’t understand why FM would change a perfect formula from Wednesday by bringing Potts in?

I understand the need for fresh legs, but my heart sank when I saw that team sheet

TV’s been smashed and ripped down in the concourse, bellends.

I'm not there, but my Son is. Id just like to say a big well done to the f*****g idiots that have smashed up the TV's in the Away concourse.

Absolute w**k**s.

Take a photo of the pricks

Unfortunately, for the majority of our sell outs, these are fans who only travel to games that aren't far away. If you sell out every game away, you don't get these idiots because they cant get tickets. May as well just let them have there day out.

Absolute cretins, get em thrown out

I'm there at the moment but took my seat a while ago so missed what had happened. There is a security camera well placed pointing towards the area in question - I just hope it caught the culprits.

some of or away fans are a disgrace to the club, this is three away games on the trot, embarrassing.

The mind boggles I’m telling you.

Whats the f*****g point......really?

Lets smash something up.

Not only that, let’s do it before we’ve watched any of the game that we’ve paid to watch.

f*****g brain dead cunts.

Get them identified and banned for life.
We don't need " fans" like these.

Forest have got some pretty dodgy goalkeepers this season - and better away than at home -

Main culprit was a bloke who looked about 40 who was solely focused on breaking them while everyone else “went f*****g mental

Sadly if they can up against some real hard men they’d run a mile screaming for their mummy

why do these idiots always come out at away games? was bad enough destroying the toilets at Blackpool the other week, the club will be getting some expensive repair bills this month!

1 minute silence for Remeberance day
We are underway

Tricky trees my arse. Do 'em North End.

Their bugler is better than ours was

Appeals for a Pen by PNE Riis fouled Referee says no

They smashed up the toilets at Blackpool. Please get out of our club

We’re gonna get some sort of punishmecnt if this carries on

We should be discussing football, not idiots.

Pottts saved by Samba

Should Potts have scored?

Decent save but straight at him

BFG - great defending.

Johnson playing in the Maguire role with Potts in the 10. Smart move

This is what I was hoping. Potts is likely at his best being an understudy to Browne. If Maguire was basically playing as a 10 anyway, then it seems like a plausible switch.

Seanie would've scored that

Oh no. Don't say Bauer's injured.

Bauer off injured

Game over

They look tired today. Not sure what Potts excuse is

Today's result is actually less important than Bauer's injury. Let's hope it's not too serious

wondered if it was from an earlier knock off Grabban.

Has Potts scored yet?

No but he's just won the ball in their penalty area and walked it out wide for a Forest throw in

We need better than Potts. He is simply not good enough and has very little quality

hughes not having his best game

think we are a bit flat, need a bit more fight

PEN

Ffs pen to Forest

Ref couldn’t wait to give it. Conveniently missed the one we should have had.

Penalty to Forest

We’ve completely lost control since Bauer went off. Getting dominated

Soft penalty scored by Grabban

looks a soft one, but one youve seen given

Bollocks of a penalty decision that.

Kicked him from the back of his foot

After seeing the replay I don't think it was that soft, really poor from whiteman

Could tell this ref was a homer from the off.

Soft soft decision, playing to the home crowd. f*****g joke.

clear pen, i fear the luck isnt going to go our way today

RL says he caught one leg with the other and went down.

the Forest player got infront of him just as he was about to kick the ball, was already going down when he got kicked

We’ve played well so far, should’ve had a pen ourselves.

And still an hour to get something from this match.

We need to go on the front foot now. It doesnt help matters when you have to rely on potts

Hughes having a mare today too doesn't help either

That was as clear a penalty you will see. Whiteman way too casual and kicked the back of his leg.

Potts let his man go way too easy before too for the cross that came in. The man is a liability

This is far from the performance against Bournemouth, pretty woeful to a man today

You reckon, not how i see it. Weve given a good account of ourselves so far.

Can't agree. Whiteman was playing the ball and the Forest player stuck his foot infront of Whitemans foot.

If that's a penalty we may as well pack the game in.

What does Potts actually bring to the team? What stand out qualities did anyone see in him when we scouted him !

One of those games where our negative style properly bites us on the arse. Too passive defensively and looking lost for ideas trying to get up the pitch

Sitting back launching long ball not good to watch

2-0

Bollocks

Josh Earl is a useless bag of shite f*****g hell

Game over
Great finish, but all too easy

With Bauer out the world caves in

When does Hughes not have a mare? To many poor-average players in this team. Hughes and Potts the main stand outs. Our league 1 team was better. That's how much backwards we've gone.

Absolute bag of shite!!

We’ve just not turned up here. Flattered to deceive in the opening 10, and since then it’s been pretty much all forest

Beauty of a goal but shite defending

this is too easy for them, we're too slow at getting the ball forward when in possession meaning they have players behind the ball then we cant cope with their attacks, this isnt working today, Frankie has made a mistake with the selection

Potts doing a good job picking up his man. One of the worst players I've seen in a north end kit

North End back to normal ! Raise the bar v Bournemouth & then putting up another sh*t show for fans

This is absolutely shite. Everyone having a bad game and I just cant draw any positives.

Horrible performance.

Potts turned his back the shithouse .

We have come back and won before from being 0-2 down at half time.

This score doesn’t surprise me. Forest had a days extra rest and PNE had a hard game on Weds. Would have taken a draw on Weds and today.

Unfortunately the fluke result from Wednesday is going to mask the reality that we are actually S**t and keep Wee Frankie in his job for far too long.

Anyone still want to give this clown of a manager a chance? Back to normal shite hoof ball

Frankie lined himself up for criticism with his team selection today & unless we turn up in the 2nd half he’s gonna get it.

Watched the first half shant be watching the second.

Normal service resumes. Good while it lasted! Today we are clueless. A few trying their hearts out but they are supported by poor footballers. The manager has it all wrong today.

Potts blazes over. Frankie's new striker

Potts Potts POTTS POTTTTTSSSS Oh FFS, Ya taking the Piss Potts

f**k off potts and that postman with you

Potts should never be starting a football match

So, so negative

Forest are attacking our goal with every opportunity, fast breaks and driving at our goal

We are looking for the safe option every time, and then when someone does try, we finish like Potts just has

That’s an awful miss

What a horrible horrible 45 mins of football... Potts should be launched bollocks first into the nearest thorn bush

f**k off Potts. You really are gash.

Well that was a load of S**t.

[Joe Baker Legend]

PNE Fans HT Talk......

Terrible penalty to give away and the marking was just as bad for Colbacks goal.

There was nobody anywhere near him though it was a great finish.

As for Potts, it’s hard to defend him when he’s f*****g skying them from 6 yards out.

We’ll get chances with these, get the next goal and who knows

Where's that bloody Frankie out thread. Needs sacking using Potts. No clue.

North End not showing enough belief, showing way too much respect to Forest and allowing Forest to play the high press.

Need players to show some bottle and run forward with the ball. Players look nervous to have the ball.

They’ve changed from a 352 to 433 as every team does against our 532. Overrun in midfield. It’s obvious to nearly everyone........

I dont think weve been anywhere near as poor as some are making out on here. The difference was the penalty.

Losing a player like Bauer during the game and Browne prior to the game is always going to be a big blow with a squad like ours.

Weve had 2 shots on goal, forest have had 2 one a pen and the other, have to say was well taken, thats the difference for me.

Riis worked a really good opening for Potts who really should have at least had that on target.

Not convinced that DJ in the 2nd striker role is working. For the 2nd half Id bring maguire on, Potts off with DJ going back to his more natural number 10 position. Potts has done ok but we need someone with more creativity in that 10 position.

Extremely poor in that first 45.

Same every f*****g week. Gets into great positions and cuts back onto his weaker foot every time and slows down every single attack. Never a wing back and it kills us down that left side every time.

Tell you what, pretty impressive going that when we have every white shirt back into the box for that second goal, Colback is left in so much space he’s able to watch that volley all the way onto his foot

Some achievement by our defenders that

He won't make a change at half time. He's too nice.

What a S**t half of football. Potts and Earl passengers.

f**k me.. I nip to the shop and we concede two by time i come back.. What the fecks gone on?

Who gave you permission to leave your post? Stay home for the second half and suffer along with us!

This match is not beyond rescue but there is little point continuing with the same line-up. Change is needed now - Sinclair for Potts. A little later when legs get more tired then maybe Maguire for Johnson or Earl. If we can get one back with at least 20 minutes to go anything is possible.

Bauer was a massive blow…penalty unlucky, Riis isolated and the role of Maguire is being ‘shared’ by DJ and Potts which isn’t working……Potts miss at the end was a s shocker.
Frankie won’t change things at 1/2 time but I would….Maguire for Potts.

I've got Forest to win 2-1 in the prediction league, with Grabban to score first, so the scoreline isn't as disastrous as some of you think.
