Not robbed, Huddersfield deserved something because we let them control the game, and were content to hold on to 1-0. That always works.

We weren't content to hold on to 1-0 though. We went up the other end and Burke should have made the game safe. He hit the post and O'Grady deserved to open his Forest account but the defender did really well to get back and clear off the line.

DF then brought Walker on and he made a couple of great runs. He was also at CF with only one defender to beat when a pass came through which wasn't quite accurate enough. Had it reached him, who knows?

Instead, they managed a shot from 20 yards which took a deflection and went in. Our defence looked comfortable so that was harsh.

I can't believe this is a Sat game played on a Thursday night. That's taking the pi55 that is.

How many other efforts did we create in the second half though? We were content to let Huddersfield run around with the ball, and if you let the opposition control the ball sooner or later they'll cause you trouble.

It's garbage is what it is. We took over 3000 last season, be surprised if there was half that tonight.

Ah well at least Murdoch's happy.

I'm getting really annoyed about it. I work away a lot of Thursday's so would miss these games even though I have paid for tgem. I haven't seen a single game yet this season.

Point taken, but I didn't think they caused us much trouble. If that second goal had gone in we wouldn't have had to worry about their deflected shot.

I would prefer us to keep more possession and create more chances though!

There are definitely marked signs of improvement but the initiative was surrendered too often in midfield all be it Huddersfield never really looked like creating a clear cut chance.

When you look at the last four games overall it is a decent points tally for a team that's been thrown together for the most part.

Really pleased with how Pinillos has settled into the team. Competes well and positioning is good. Great run and cross for the goal, the likes of which we haven't see since Cohen played. Does get done on the inside from time to time but all in all looks a sound bit of business.

What has happened with Lansbury's dead ball efforts. Both of his pens were poor, and the effort in the 86th minute tonight was truly awful, he has also been over hitting dead balls, particularly against QPR. If his confidence is low let Vaughan have a crack.

Think that was what what Vaughan might have been whispering to him as they lined up to take it. Lansbury didn't look confident and his effort reflected that.
