Wow, how good are City. We defended brilliantly, stayed in the game as long as we could and eventually got a chance, which we took. I remember looking at my watch at 15.20 and couldn’t believe only twenty minutes had gone, City were that dominant. We managed to break out on occasion, usually through Johnno but actually threatened very little. Felipe was absolutely immense, i wouldn’t say he had Haaland in his pocket by any means but handled him as well as any centre half has managed all season. It was definitely backs to the wall defending, but at no point did we panic, and like SC said stay in the game and when you get your chance make sure you take it, Wood did that superbly, i expected VAR to find something to deny us, but even VAR couldn’t save City this time. I’m not saying we deserved our point, for the threat we offered, but for the defensive display we showed by all eleven, plus subs. At the end it felt more like a win, and was certainly celebrated that way by the fans, who were fantastic throughout. It actually shows how far we have come, to at least compete with the likes of City, in a relatively short period of time. Although we are still by no means safe from relegation, displays like this give so much confidence to the fans and the players. We have to back up this with at least a point at West Han next week, just to show it was no fluke. Great time to be a Forest fan, feels almost surreal at the moment, long may it last. COYR’s.
