Forest v Preston - Match Thread

Yep a good result, we've come unstuck against PNE more times than I want to remember before this.

Just watched the end of the Celta v Barca game.
Just wow, 0-3 at HT.
FT 3-3 with the equaliser in minute 96.

El, looks like Xavi has got his work cut out.

He won't do much this season for sure, there is a lot of deadwood to shift . The likes of Dembele, Sergio Roberto, Coutinho, Luuk de Jong.

The thing he has going for him is the youngsters from the Masia. The likes of Pedri, Nico, Puig, Gavi and , of course, Ansu Fati. They really are stars in the making.

But yes, he does have his work cut out for him. Still, he wouldn't have taken it on if he didn't think he could do it.

Not only that but he will be on the phone to Pepe Guardiola quite regularly, I would think.

Sincerely hope he does turn it round as Barca are my favourite overseas team. 😀

Back to our game today, what was the difference between the pen given today and the one not given against uncle Albert at QPR, to me they’re the same offence.

I couldn't possibly comment on that as I haven't seen the incident.
I'll let you know tomorrow....

Well, thats 21 points in ten games for us....and 11 points (from 10 games) for Derby.

Hopefully we both continue our good form, seeing us in the play-offs and Derby relegated to League One:

Forest: 2.1 PPG = 60.9 = 83 points = W6D3L1
Derby: 1.1 PPG = 31.9 = 38 points = W2D5L3

Nice.

There is some terrible decisions being made by Championship level officials, the Blackpool/QPR match, two terrible decisions made by the officials, disallowing a perfectly good goal and not giving a clear penalty.

Main difference yesterday in the Johnson decision was that Brennan was running toward the ref' who must have seen the defender clip his trailing leg.
