It was as good as you could hope for for the first game. Nice, passing football (apart from when Camp insisted on hoofing it up the pitch) and the defence looked solid. Need a bit more firepower up front though.

Another sight was Cohen and his Mrs (yum) doing the rounds in the boxes afterwards!

Disappointing wasn't it. Even more so when the Sky Sports App says its 1-1, and then it's back to 1-0 which pleases me but then it really is 1-1!

Very

Sounds as though we gave a good account of ourselves. Their fans are raving about how well set up we were?

On a different note, it looks as though we will get 750k plus add ons if the Dawson to qpr move goes through. Bonus!

Oh, look who's in the bottom three.....!

Possibly the best performance I have seen from a Forest side in years!!!

Reid, McGuigan and at times Guedioura were outstanding. Reid played better than he ever has showing great control, vision, passing and dare I say it pace! McGuigan was just sheer class.

Cox made a good impression, he looked sharp and fitted in well. He took his goal very well.

Harding was the slight weak link in the first half. Huddersfield by their own standards were disappointing, but when they did apply pressure it was normally down the right flank with Harding under pressure. It wasn't surprising when he gave the penalty away. It's a bit harsh to say he was to blame because by the time it happened we should have put the game out of reach of Huddersfield. The rest of the defence played very well, with Maloney continuing to improve. Gillet was fairly quiet.

What the game did show was that we need a couple of strikers who are a class above what we currently have. Cox may well fit the bill, but Dexter looked a little bit lacking last night. He is still a very good player but along with Miller, Tudgay and McGoldrick may be just below what we need in the starting 11 to seriously push for promotion.

Jules.

ps Not a bad stadium and set up at the Galpharm and I was there with a group of Huddersfield supporters, it made the last gasp goal even more sickening!!!

Dex really does seem like a genuine chap.

No posts at all on this thread last night? You all know we played, right?

For the impartials it was probably a cracking game, end to end stuff etc.
For 30 minutes we completely bossed it, Bolton didn't get a look in. Lewis scored a screamer and we kept and passed the ball well.

The only way Bolton were going to get back into the game was by muscling in, which they duly did. Davies' clear shove on one of the Forest defenders went unnoticed by the ref as did the fact he was offside - and right in front of Camp - as Eagles scored the follow up.

This gave Bolton some momentum and the followed it up with a second after Davies hassled Halford into an error.

This time last year we may well have capitulated at that point but we kept going, trying to play our way back in to the game and getting what we deserved a brilliant strike by Reid equalising, and hitting exactly the same part of the goal as Lewis's strike

Bolton away will certainly be one of our toughest fixtures so to come away scoring two goals and getting a draw is a good result. And could be one of those that makes the difference come the end of the season.

Win at home, draw away. That's the kind of form that gets you places.
And the Huddersfield game should have been a win by all accounts.

I agree. Shame as I've always had a lot of respect for the guy. Besides I thought he was all about playing passing football? They just kept hoofing it to Davies!!!

All in all I enjoyed the game, although some observations would be that Greg Halford is clearly a full back, Dexter worked really hard but it would be lovely if he did more than just stand on his right foot, Cox had a cracker of a game and looks a very handy player at this level, Guedioura is awesome but did decend into angry north African towards the end.... And I saw something very rare last night. Lewis McGugan tracking back.....da fk?!?

What was said?

And I agree, first half an hour was brilliant stuff and the pub was bouncing! After their dodgy foul/offside/goal the whole game changed.
I'm glad Lewis's shot went in, might give him a boost of confidence, nice to see Gueddy hitting a few too. We played some very nice stuff, even Campy playing it out from the back..
As said above, draw away win at home and I'll be happy.
