No way is Kish's cross comparable to Sarr'siaitch said:

Someone must read CL because most of the comments in the preview thread were along those lines :-)superclive98 said:
Totally agree that being more positive from the outset made a difference.foresthillred said:Fantastic all round performance despite a couple of players being a bit below par. What won it for us was that we played on the front foot for pretty much the whole game. I think Bowyer took on board the justified criticism after Saturday and decided we should have a go rather than sit back and hope for a goal on the break.
It looks like the players much prefer playing that way too. All that defensive bollocks just makes them nervous.
Best not to get too carried away, because yesterday bucked the trend of poor performances home and away.0 -
Send the Sports editor an email James, telling him that our 5k members will be instructed not to buy his paper unless a full apology is posted in tomorrow's edition with a correct picture of the goal 😉.JamesSeed said:

What one of the angles shows is Naby looking up and seeing the pass before he makes it. It shows how good he really is. When he has people showing for him, that is when he works. If there is nothing on, he clearly isn't going to look so good.8

Had he conceded that own goal and still played as he did he'd still be good value for an 8.5

Phillips as good as we're coming to expect
Lockyer: awful passing, as usual
Pearce: better from him than recently which he had to be
Sarr: quite a bit more of the excellent Naby than the excrement version, owes DP a pint or 2 for the save
Matthews: much better than Saturday
Cullen: not resumed the heights of this time last year but he's alright
Oztumer: loves playing against forest, didn't quite come off for him but he's an able stand in for JW
Davis: a very able stand in for Pratley, especially walking the tightrope of a 2nd yellow for so long
Doughty: very decent attacking play, not so much his defending, nevertheless a star of the future
Taylor: almost back to his best, industrious as always
Hemed: weak, wasteful, wheezy and wayward
McGeady: didn't see a lot of him really
Purrington: shored things up usefully
Referee: no protection at all for Charlton's front 2
Smith: n/a first night nerves? wearing someone else's boots? forgot his contact lenses? hopefully all 3. We'll all have to pretend that debut didn't happen, take it as a Mulligan or smthn.

This is what Bowyer said of Hemed last night26

bit of skilled man management there, that's a virtual 'arm around the shoulder' if ever I heard it3 -

Gets a load of hate on here and twitter every week. He's getting better and better as each game passes, just needs a goal.ValleyGary said:Thought 1st half Hemed caused them all sorts of problems with his hold up play and he does has good feet when we play to his strengths. He is not a channel runner, as you could see when Doughty played it down to their touchline and Hemed just about got a cross in. He did make a few poor decision 2nd half in possession, but i think that was a sign of fatigue.
Someone marked him a 4/10 on the player marks, which i think is extremely harsh. I hope he starts again Saturday and gets the goal he desperately needs.14 -
Yep, Kiely og.Brown Bear said:What a great win - have to say that I expected it though.
Listened to the MNC ob Fivelive the other day, and they were interviewing the local Forest BBC reporter and Kris Commons (ex Forest I believe), and they all seemed to think that the Charlton game would be a formality, and that it was WBA and other fixtures that would be more problematic.
This may explain why they decided to rest five players, and thus lose momentum and traction from the Leeds game at the weekend.
'Never fuck with the form' is what all of the old pro's say, and I think that is what Forest have done here.
Older posters may remember our 99/00 promotion year, when we welcomed Swindon to the Valley late in the season, who were not only bottom of the table, but also going through serious financial difficuluties as well.
If memory serves, we may have even paid for their Youth Team to get a coach up that morning, so that they could play our lads.
Anyhow, despite all of our charitable donations, Swindon then decided to turn us over 1-0, and we all went home feeling like we had been mugged by a Vicar!1 -
Interesting player marks in The Times' report of the game. Purrington 5. Phillips, Matthews, Davis, McGeady and Cullen 6. Lockyer, Pearce, Oztumer and Doughty 7. Sarr and Taylor 8. The Notts Forest scores were mostly 5s and 6s wit 7 for Lolley and Silva.1

Lolley gets 7 for running with intent and pelting crosses with his weaker foot as hard as anything for throw ins!0

You never can tell .. best performance of the season, at least so far as I have seen .. super all round team performance .. Taylor's energy is incredible and we are a 100% better when he is in .. Sarr at last looked like he knows what he's meant to be doing .. defence looked stronger, just a great team effort .. we looked strong all over the field and the team selection showed the new depth of the squad and Bowyer's ability to pick horses for courses.
Whinge time .. I am still a little concerned that for the last 10/15 minutes we tend to go into our defensive shell and put ourselves under pressure, a little bit risky with just a 1 goal lead .. still, last night it worked.
Lamouchi the Forest manager treated us with, I feel some disrespect. He left out 5 of the team which had just beaten Leeds, perhaps thinking that lil ol Charlton were no threat and 3 points were assured .. His team looked all over the place and was outplayed .. that'll teach him

I saw that and thought OK but unfair on Purrington .. Doughty was having trouble against danger man Lolley and was replaced by Purry, who kept him pretty much under control .. so give Purry a 7 ((:>) .. as for £o££ey and Cash .. not worth the money lol and Bong ? .. he should stop smokingNadou said:Interesting player marks in The Times' report of the game.

Cool. My first ever away match was at Forest in 1986. Lost 4-0.Stig said:So pleased for my son who made his first solo away trip tonight. Well, not quite solo, he took three mates. Let's hope they get bitten by the bug too.0 -
Ahhhhh been a while since we were called ‘lowly’.JamesSeed said:Watching on video it looked like Lyle just stuck out a foot for the goal, but in the pic from the Guardian it was a full blooded volley. That’s some technique. [Edit: Having looked at the video again, not sure the photo is of the goal? Looks like three defenders round him in the photo, but only one or two in the vid? Yeah, not the goal. Naughty Guardian]
The Guardian’s headline was ‘Forest blow it at home to lowly Charlton’ :-(
Used to be so standard pre premier league days I actually thought our name was ‘Lowly Charlton Athletic’ 🙄3 -
Love the smile on Naby's face in that vid!1
