Just an awful first half performance.
Fortunately others around us are equally as bad, I feel we should be secure.
Got to start with more attacking options, we looked much better with Cafu and Lolley on and whilst I don't rate him give Taylor a run, let's face it noone else is able to score!

What does Hughton see in Bong over Ribiero, he has been atrocious!
Too many mistakes from Yates, Knockaert looks disinterested today.
Bong was awful, and lucky not to tot up the yellows. Too many mistakes from Yates, Knockaert looks disinterested today.
Lucky for Knockaert the Watford fans were not in - he has a special place in our hearts...
Garner and Murray showed why we ditched them.
Well we actually played quite well, need to keep Mighten in the team.
Garner was outstanding.
Ribiero for Bong is a must.
Ameobi did nothing would have liked to see Knockaert given a 2nd half run.
How do we get Grabban scoring again?
Overall thought we were the better team, so some positives and once we are safe give the youngsters a chance to prove themselves.
Rotherham are going to have some challenges getting all their games in.

Just couldn't not turn it on....but wished I hadn't.
BONG......why is he playing.
So he can block a certain goal and cross it for the equaliser? BONG......why is he playing.
Ribiero all the way for me.
Can we ever do something about referees in this league?
- Their penalty, fair enough.... but that means a dozen penalties in every game ever
- That's Brentford's third early penalty in the last three games - that is dodgy as f**k in itself
- Cafu fouled, grabs the ball: handball, free kick Brentford. Toney fouled, grabs the ball: foul, free kick Brentford
- Emiliano, shouts and screams at Figueredo lying injiured on the floor. Figureredo and Emiliano booked. Emilioano point blank refuses to go to the referee to be booked. Send the f***er off.
- Brentford keeper, catches the ball outside the area (second time in recent weeks this has gone unpunished against us
- last minute Toney breaks and gets away a shot that's deflectred wide, no-one notices he lead with his elbow when challenging Figueredo
Forest performance, a bit flat in the first half but we grew into the game and finished stronger. Deserved a draw and could have won it.
Played well up to their third but don't creat enough chances.
Apparently we had one shot on target, so can someone explain how Krovinovic forced the keeper to save from a free kick in the first half and scored in the second half but that's only one?
Grabban. What to say about Grabban. I (and I think many other fans) would reconsider Grabban if he showed even an ounce of frudtration if he missed a chance. That header, should've done better. But having not scored any sign of emotion. Please.
Garner, deserved man of the match.

Totally agree with everything above.Ribiero all the way for me.

Not a single poor performance in the team.
Defence was immense, especially Worrall. Christie gets some stick but he had a good game and set up the goal.
What to say about Garner, MOTM for me, put in some great tackels right through the game and a very well taken goal.
Not seen any interviews but I imagine Yates in the holding role and Cafu over Krovinovic at no. 10 was more to do with Cardiff's one dimensional, direct style. Cafu was quiet in the first half, but certainly didn't do anything wrong. Apparently knocking someone's hand away when you get shoved as you leave the field is a bookable offence, when actually shoving someone isn't, but more on Flint in a moment.
Mighten was a threat, his speed and skill terrified Cardiff. The trouble is - being really critical - there wasn't an end product. Although you could argue the fact he tied multiple defenders in knots freed up space elsewhere.
Surprised that we got 3 bookings to Cardiff's two.
Graban, not much argument with, defender went down very easily and won a free kick, Graban kicked the ball away in frustration. Can't argue with it really, although a Cardiff player threw the ball away moments later and didn't get booked.
After the penalty that Bong gave away for wrestling in the box the other day, well, surprised there's not twenty penalties every Cardiff game. Not even a warning, never mind any action taken. The only consistent thing about refereeing is the inconsistencies.
So, Flint. Every corner at either end he had his arms round someone. Typicall a shirt pull first then arms round McKenna or whoever.
Running down the line with Mighten he pulled him then gave him a shove that sent Mighten flying - not a shoulder barge, a full on shove. Then managed to stumble over Mighten, still time to kick him in the face. Could easily have been a red, not even a yellow.
Plus the incident with Cafu and several fouls. Not even booked. Shiocking.
A very, good and valuable win.
Just hope we don't do a Forest against QPR. Then Bristol City, Birmingham and Huddersfield - some real six pointers there which could really distance us from some of those teams.

A surprising and very good performance.
We had more shots than the whole rest of the season!
Positives throughout the team. Blackett had a good game, can see him making the left back position permanent. Funny how he's played two games on the trot when he didn't get a look in for ages as Hughton alternated Ribs and Bong. As Ribs is out of contract in the summer I imagine he'll be let go.
Amazingly though Stroud was appalling. How he missed some very, very big decisions. Yates stamped on, Krovinovic elbowed - by the same player, both in the first half. Forest players booked for run of the mill fouls where he was reluctant to book QPR players for some really bad challenges and straight red offences.

Confidence seems to be coming back, and clearly being out of the real danger zone is helping.
I think even if we didn’t get another point we’d still be safe. Forest haven’t finished any season well for quite some time, so it would make a nice change to have a decent close.
At least we aren’t fighting for a place in the playoffs this season, last season’s last minute capitulation was risible even by Forest standards. The players are normally all on the beach by now.I think even if we didn’t get another point we’d still be safe.

Agree for a few seasons now Forest have been statistically s
t around the holidays. Doesn't seem to be a sense of unity, focus and purpose at Forest - its been drifing for good while now, but I think it comes from the clubs seeming acceptence of being in the right place for a club of the size. The ambition of the club seems to be mid table Championship and thats what we are getting...
