Offside

I've never got a good feeling about the result when we play them at Portman Road, but now would be a VERY good time to come home with 3 points. We have to get a win at some point. Please.

Such a frustrating game. I thought we started brightly and had them on the ropes, but then suddenly they scored out of nothing (bad defending again), the confidence visibly drained out of our players and we returned to our habit of acting like statues going forward with Tomlin playing ever deeper. Then, after improving and getting the equaliser, we let in another soft goal. We are looking very soft defensively at the moment, which is not giving us a chance. Things aren't going our way at the moment, but I'm taking glad we created chances today so hopefully this wretched run will end soon. At least it's Wolves away next week - always a guaranteed 3 points up there.

We really need a decent performance and a win today to boost confidence. COYR

Sounds like we gave away that goal very cheaply.

Great matchday post, havanatopia. Made me think about how even though I've gone to watch City at quite a few away grounds (including Huddersfield) I've often seen little of the actual places. It would be great to pick up something from today's game after some disappointing away results. COYR

Glad to get the win. Fairly drab game but what a wonderful strike from Freeman. I can enjoy a couple of pints in my local now. Saturday evenings are so much better after a victory.

Really hoping we get a result today, but I've got a feeling it'll be another defeat. Fingers crossed my gut feeling is wrong. COYR

I'm not feeling overly confident about this game, but hopefully my gut feeling is wrong and we'll get something. Not sure why, but I really dislike Brum so it would be good to get a result. COYR

Poor performance from City today. Goodness knows what ROD was doing for the first goal and for the second their player was given far too much space. Both their goals stemmed from us giving away the ball. We have become very static going forward and performance-wise we seem to have got into a bit of a rut. Credit to Brighton, though, who were incredibly well organised in defence.

Judging from the commentary a draw was a fair result. It's a gutter we couldn't see the game out (terrible defending for their equaliser as well), but I suppose we've had our fair share of late goals. Tough game next Saturday - hopefully Brighton will be feeling complacent after their win today and will have a 'mare.

I'm sure your dad would have been looking down with pride at that send off, havanatopia. I've got a good feeling about this game, which might be bad news because I felt just as positive before the Cardiff one.

Condolences to you and your family at this difficult time and RIP to your dad.

Disappointing result. I had a good feeling about this game, too.

Good win today against what seemed to be a very average Forest team. It was a poor first half from us and I was worried that maybe LJ had made too many changes from midweek, but he altered things at half time and overall we were the better side. What composure from Tammy for our equaliser and a great move for Paterson's goal (well deserved too after his recent performances). Brownhill did very well at right back. Things are looking good.

Can we make it 3 league wins in a row? Hope so. COYR

Close game, good win. Some very good play on the break from us in the first part of the second half and we were gritty in keeping them out when they pressed for an equaliser. Tomlin was the catalyst for lots of our good play and we struggled to keep hold of the ball once he went off. Freeman looked dangerous again and can be forgiven for his Bas Savage moment. Very good 3 points and another welcome clean sheet.

I was away with some friends this weekend with no phone signal. I saw we were 1-0 up but didn't see the final score until today. What a great result. Glad that Freeman got on the scoresheet - much deserved after some improved performances. I'm pleased that Flint got a goal too after those setbacks in recent games.

In the paper I was reading this morning there was a comment from a Fulham fan saying we'd beat them 3-0. Fingers crossed.

This one is hard to predict. Will the law of averages allow us to win there three times in a row and twice in a week? Hope so, but I reckon it will be a draw.

Phew. Derby should have buried one of those chances they had when we were piling forward towards the end, but I think we deserved the draw. Tomlin was unlucky when his thunderous shot hit the bar and I thought at the time that our chance had gone, but our equaliser was a well worked goal. Paterson looks like a good player. Hope another mistake from Flint doesn't dent his confidence because overall he had a good game.

For some reason I've got a bad feeling about the game today. Defensively we'll need to be switched on, especially if Ince is playing because he is one of those players who always seems to score against us. Hopefully my gut feeling is wrong and we'll get 3 points. COYR

Sounds like we battered them in the 2nd half but after being 2-0 down it's a good point.

It would be good to beat them after what happened at their place last season plus their antics at AG. Today's game will be a useful yardstick for seeing how we have progressed from last season.

Agree. Big improvement needed in the second half.

Tough game today but it would be good to get something out of it. We'll have to be better in the final third than last week. McCormack will probably score against us as usual so we'll need goals today. A draw would give us 7 points from those opening 5 games which would be a decent return.
