Nottingham Forest - Porto

[Trailer Park Tom]

The best style of football is winning.

Disappointed Kal didn't get 10 minutes up top but that was a good result against a very good outfit.

Confidence will grow. We needed the basics done right and that feel good factor.

We got our Forest back last night.

It just felt right and proper.

Well done to all involved.

Absolutely ecstatic after that.

Couldn’t have asked for much more.

This thread is surprisingly quiet!!

Lose to Midtjylland = 14 page thread.

Beat Porto one of the best teams in Europe = 6 page thread.

Enough said.

First clean sheet in ages, scoring two against a team who'd only conceded two all season. Magic

Terrible signal at the CG...  :Funny:

Good performance that, listened to talk sport on way back callers were saying what I've read on here, it's like getting the team back. It's what they know, what they're good at and with the crowd backing them full tilt. Some excellent celebrations for winning throw ins was a sign this team were up for it last night and fed off the crowd. 

Of course there are minor irritations, Zincenko was defensively poor and I'm surprised Dyche on cked him over Savona who had a good game. Savona is tidy on the ball tbf to him, can get out of a tight spot when required and of course win the pen. Did look a clumsy dive to me and those around me but it's probably cos he's a lanky guy, haven't actually seen it yet. I do hope he gets a run in team now. 

Ndoye is so weak at times and you do have to remind yourself he's not Elanga when he doesn't beat his man for pace. A really poor ball when clean through 2nd half, however the last 15 he dug in and battled and was bloody good. Maybe just taking time to settle. Talking of clean through, obviously CHO missed a huge chance. 

Little bits those, ultimately our first clean sheet in 20 odd games and a huge win against a proper team with European pedigree. Great start for Dyche, the next game is a big test to see if they can match that intensity away from home.

Having seen the highlights it was definitely a penalty. It looked a dive because of how he fell but the defender stuck his leg out twice and the second move definitely made contact.

pleased to see the stability and security return last night. Few hairy moments but nothing like previous weeks. I wouldn't wish injury on anyone but i maintain that Zinchenko's injury is a blessing in disguise. I'm hopeful that Savona gets a bit of a run and/or even Cunha- much more excited about developing our own.

Yes I kind of agree although Zinc did look more competent defending under pragmatic tactics.

We definitely need to give Williams a rest soon and for me this is a worry. I don't think Aina is on the grass yet.

Does anyone know what the attendance was last night?

I am with you on Zinc.

I am not going to judge his defending on what we saw under Ange.

Zinc is better than that. Dyche will get him performing and defending well.

It doesn't really matter whether Aina is on the grass or not.

He is not in our 25 man PL squad and was replaced by Zinc in our Euro squad so he can't play until January. Then he might (hopefully not) be going off to AFCON.

Blimey I didn't realise he was omitted from the squad. Tough for us at full back.

Zinc has a lot of games for City and Arsenal. He must be able to defend  :Funny:

29,700 I think I saw not that exact but around that
