1-0 at half time. Not that good creatively. But we should be a couple up after that ball that went across the front of goal towards the end. Nice finish from Semenyo again.

Gutted but that's football.

Still not over, just got to keep going.

We don't help ourselves in many ways. We did not try hard enough to finish off Forest at 1-0 or 2-1. However, questions have to be asked why we get nothing off the referee or VAR yet again. Same as St Jame Park, a clear foul in the box not given, Rodri was taken out after getting the ball. I thought the keeper's foul on Erling should have been given too. He was late, nowhere near the ball and knocked Haaland over.

Poor performance overall and not enough impetus and speed in attack was the main culprit. Though it has to be said that we do seem to concede from a very high proportion of opposition attacks.
