Wood scored two against Luton, earlier in the season, but also missed a hatful that day.
Hopefully he will get one of them right.

He's come up with some big goals. We have to trust he will get us a goal today.

Had Forest shown this much fight against Everton, they would have got something out of that game easily. I’ve not seen City this ruffled for a long time

Play stopped for a city player being down. Not a head injury.

1-0 flatters them

After an hour i can’t remember seeing City look this rattled. Unfortunately, they have Haaland coming on for Grealish.
If we had any quality or composure in the final third we’d be at least level.

Excellent save by Seles, now it looks like Murillo has a groin problem, will be a massive loss if he goes off.

KDB to Haaland, game over.

Let’s just shut up shop now, don’t concede anymore.

I just hope we play like this in the last 3 games. Much better apart from the finishing.

Nuno must really NOT rate Sangare, £32m+ and he doesn’t even bring him on, seems really strange.
We chased him for ages, paid a small fortune, and he just warms the bench, very strange.

Just as i type the above, Sangare replaces Boly, who has been immense, imo.

It’s fair to say we gave a good account of ourselves today, but unfortunately not good enough to gain a point. I said earlier, if we were to lose, we needed to keep it down to two or less, so i guess we’ve achieved.
Imagine if we had been any good in the final third, what might have happened.
If you can’t keep a clean sheet, and can’t score at the other end, you’re going to struggle.
We really need 7 out of the last 9 points available to survive.
Whilst its do able, we will need to improve, particularly in the final third.

You had the better chances, should have got something out of the game.
Our former players Aina and Hudson-odoi were brilliant, annoying they leave with nothing.

Working so only saw intermittent flashes of the game. But Forest seemed up for it , pity we couldn't muster the same fighting spirit for lesser opponents. They now have 3 big opportunities to make matters right.

Forest played well against a City team that looked like they were going through the motions. But how Boly managed to avoid a yellow card is beyond me, including charging Ederson, when you can see from his head position that he is not going for the ball but just charging into the goalkeeper to injure him, which he did. At least another 2 yellow card offences went unpunished.
