Bournemouth - Nottingham Forest

The big man has spoken! Marinakis rang up Colin Fray last night to put on record his dissatisfaction at the referee, the efl and the fact that Moore scored when he would have not been available in the original tie.

Ha - Have just posted the link to Fray's bit on the EM thread.

And we feel bad! Image how the big man felt seeing 160 big ones go down the drain.

Hadn't even considered that Moore wouldn't have been available. Also we'd have had Davis, Grabban, Lowe (maybe, can't remember when he was injured)

All this discussion about penalties, refs, etc doesnt mask the fact that we were beaten by a better team.

It doesn't and even with the penalty there's a good chance we still don't win.

However, the better team on the night doesn't always win and you need decisions to win tight games sometimes, particularly away from home. 

Hopefully we can turn the injustice into motivation for the playoffs.

Not just about last night though, there have been others too. It's got so bad that even EM feels like he needs to speak up about
it. It's not an excuse it's a fact although of course I realise that it's not going to alter anything now.

Another argument is that against Swansea, Moore elbowed someone but was not punished - Swans manager aggrieved because he went on to score two goals to rescue a point.

Small things but had he been sent off then swans win and he doesn't play against us.

Oh well.

The blatant truth though is that we chose the wrong match to have our worst 45 minutes of football since Cooper arrived. We stayed in the dressing room at half time. There was only one team on the pitch second half.

I am not deterred though we still have a great chance of making the PL this season.

I am with Sniffer on this, think the lads will be really up for the play-offs just hope the referees are as well!

Davis was a whisker away from being on the bench last night. Would be great to get him back

Hopefully on bench against hull and get a good 30mins into his legs

After the Luton defeat, we bounced back with style and I expect the same after Bournemouth.

Yes he failed a fitness test but the fact that he even had a fitness teat shows that he's not far away.
