Nottingham Forest - Luton Town (FA Cup)

[Sniffer Dog (Admin)]

Glad Morato came through unscathed.

Think you all realised I was concerned.

Not a great performance but we did enough and deserved the win.

Job done. Wasn’t great but thats what happens when you rotate all 11. Probably gave them too many chances but overall good. A bit worried when we brought on 4 first pick players at 2-0 up, think there would have been some questions asked if there was an injury.
Not convinced about Taiwo, really dont want to be relying on him should Wood be unavailable, nonsense talk about us being after a 3rd choice striker because we need someone with potential to be No1.


Anyone have problems getting in? Seen lots of issues with UB, pics of massive queue still outside at 3.15 Was it just muppets that don’t know how to use a digital ticket or were there issues with the turnstiles or organisation?

I can maybe see why Luton fans maybe furious that Yates wasn’t penalised. Big 6 reffing bias on show!

We’ve really gotta coach sosa going over in the area out of him, there’s a reason jota gets the subs in front of him. Moreira did fine. Some lovely corners from JWP. Luton not the team they were last year (stating the obvious)

The FA Cup is about giant killings but I'm so glad city battered Salford.

No complaints today from me. 2 goals and a cleansheet in a pretty textbook rotation win. Happy with the squad.

Upper Bridgford had 0 people in it 10 mins before kick off. People were still walking up to seats 30mins into game! Something must have gone wrong at turnstiles.

Forest dominant but not a lot in front of goal. Yates hitting crossbar and Sosa falling over too easily. Morato now Cup tied for Villa, does that mean he is staying?

Comfortable win. Assume you mean Moreno?

It's more of a shambles than that mate. Apparently they only just realised that all the steps were frozen before they opened so it wasn't safe to enter the stadium.

Statement from #nffc this afternoon on those fans who couldn't get into the upper tier of the Bridgford Stand:

"We regret that due to the freezing conditions around the City Ground for today’s FA Cup tie against Luton Town, a number of supporters were unable to access the Upper Bridgford stand ahead of kick off.

"Despite regular gritting ahead of kick off, persistent and stubborn icy conditions on the vomitories dictated that a small number of turnstiles providing access to the Upper Bridgford stand had to be closed in the interests of the safety of supporters.

"Thankfully the vast majority of fans were inside the stadium within ten minutes of kick off, but the club wishes to apologise sincerely to those fans who were inconvenienced as a result of this issue.

"The safety and security of our staff and supporters is our number one priority on match days."



Lots replies to this by the way stating what everyone could plainly see, saying the vast majority were inside within 10 minutes of kick off is total bollocks.

Yes, sorry

Yep, very true. We got into U2 about 5 mins before kickoff, it was at least 15 to 20 mins before anyone was on our row and 30 to 35 mins before our row filled up!

Disingenuous word play by the club. Majority of supporters were in the ground, just not in Upper Bridgford.

Edit: Digital tickets were a farce. Person in front of me took 2 minutes until it read their ticket. Guy on turnstile said some tickets were taking 5 minutes!! Just get back to loading onto Season Cards.

Digital ticketing to be mandatory requirement for all Premier League clubs by 2026/27 season
