First half performance

[MightySuttonRed]

In my opinion forest were the better side on saturday in the first half. If that early goal would not of gone in i think we could of easily got a goal because we was'nt far of one nill down anyway. All earnshaw had to do was tap it to the right of the keeper instead of chipping him and we would of gone into half time favourite's to win in the second half. There second goal was the defence poor ability to defend set plays and after that goal the players gave up. I understand its against derby and everthink but... dare i say it, it was a good first half perfomance we should of gone in at 2-1.

Couldn't agree more, the score didn't reflect the performances - a few lucky instead of unlucky breaks and forest would have gone to the half time team talk 1- 1.

Many gave up (well, half the players and half the spectators did) after the 2nd goal.

The best team won but we've seen worse and still go.

Ask not, "what can forest do for me, ask - what can I do for forest"

Good chances dont win games, goals win games! plus you cant let in 3 goals at home and expect to win?

Football is a weird game and if you want to start talking about favourite's ask yourself who won Euro 2004?

I thought we were awful in the first half. The only good period of the game was the last 20 minutes or so where we were walking all over them. It was the only period where the team actually connected and made sense.

Before that it was just a bunch of players on the pitch, playing for the first time together.

First of, Welcome to the Forum Deforest. You have hit the nail on the head with that rework of a classic quote. In times like this, the fans really do need to act as the 12th man on the pitch. Everyone's heads went down after the second goal and it's no surprise they hit us quickly, our fans didn't appear bothered that the players had come out at half time!!
