I mean I thought the argy bargy after the goal with Lawrence during the derby game was gonna be a red, hes definitely a player that gets psyched up with the fans being noisy behind him and cheering him on. Hopefully this may just calm him down a bit I saw on the vid another (or could have been fletcher) barged him once he claimed the ball and came forward to distribute, do sides know now if they start to needle him he’ll do something silly?

That's the problem now. They will. And he will.
And they did. And he did.
They played him like a fiddle.

I got a feeling that red card may be the turning point of our season.

Right, what happened is done now. Yes he can be a clown and he has allowed himself to be wound up which other teams will have seen.
However I main he is the best keeper we have had in a long time and the antics work both ways. Didnt we love the shithousing antics which get under the skin of opponents? Maybe that in itself has won us a few points. Absolutely Cooper needs to have a proper word with him though.
On to Horvarth, lets hope he can deliver. The one game he had his dithering with the ball at his feet was the problem, again hope he has learned the hard way. He was brought here to be serious competition as No1 keeper, maybe he can live up to to it.

The red card is a yes but by the letter of the law, we should have been awarded a free kick in the area as Fletcher barged Samba as he moved towards the edge of the area and this took place before Samba hit him, so there should not have a been a double whammy of a penalty.

Samba is still the best keeper in this league for me and was man of the match yesterday before his exit
Cut him some slack hopefully he will learn from this
Come on you mighty Reds

I'm sure the intention wasn't to hit the player but rather to push him away. It could have halted our promotion push had we lost the game but it actually ended up giving the team even more self belief and team spirit. Scoring 2 minutes into stoppage time with 10 men is a great achievement. Stoke didn't manage one shot on target with Worrall in goal. This team is going places.
We need players like Brice. Someone that can really wound up the opposition team and supporters. Love the guy. He will come back even stronger.

As long as he keeps those antics up I won't cut him any slack. Not doubting he's a good goalkeeper but he should just focus just on that and forget about winding up opposition teams, players and fans. His antics help no one at Nottingham Forest.

I disagree with you there Sniff. I want him to continue to do what he does but he should of course avoid getting red cards.
