Ah that’s gutting. Keeping everything crossed anyway.

I’ve retweeted it. I wonder if we could get in touch with AG and organise a ‘search party’ of sorts? Sweep the stands, concourse and surrounding areas maybe. Needs to be found.

Haha fair play. Forest 1-0 up despite numerical disadvantage. Our friends north of the river losing to Blackpool.

Scott on early for Bournemouth, joining Semenyo. Forest down to 10 in that game. Luton continue to do annoyingly well at home. Lead Newcastle 1-0. Liverpool Arsenal at 17.30 could be an excellent watch. Also - not related to todays games but Jason Knight is the love of my life.

He was unhappy with the stick he got from the Dolman after his career-threatening injury went unpunished. What a sausage. Just made Knighty’s winner even sweeter

Ashton does love a Christmas collapse

It’s been so frustrating, the left wing this season. Because we’ve seen Belly and Anis are very good footballers. Over the moon Anis has locked down that side through a couple really good games - and Bell will be pushing him for the shirt I’m sure. Thought Belly did well off the right for the final 15.

Well… not sure what to say. That winner is the most I’ve lost my head at the Gate in an age. Jumping around and hugging strangers has never felt sweeter! Conway seemed to take a knock but was well enough to run off so probably nothing thankfully. COYFR ️️ Injured: McCrorie Atkinson Naismith Roberts King Benarous

Vyner Dickie pairing doing fab. Really good stuff.

That was exhausting and eventually - incredible. ******* over the moon. Merry Christmas boys and girls ️️️

Worth remembering most had no issue with Manning and are just pissed with the board. There are a few who turned on LM fast but that was the minority. Excellent pair of results, rare back to back wins and he’s doing well. I’m happy we went for him. Still want them to sell, still think Nige was sacked wrongly. But very happy tonight ️

No new injuries (or illness which is a relief!), no new returns. One change to the squad as we name a full complement of 9 subs - Nelson takes a spot. Injured: McCrorie Atkinson Naismith Roberts King Benarous

Sickness bug is a bit concerning, hopefully all have shaken it in time for the game.

That keeps appearing as a ‘recommended group’ for me which I have mixed feelings about. I do enjoy the posts though so clearly not wrong!

I actually undertook a hefty project in my free time at work over the past year to check something and maybe it's relevant here. In our history, we've won 10 trophies. Championship (or equivalent) x1 League 1 (or equivalent) x4 EFL Trophy x3 Anglo-Scottish Cup x1 Welsh Cup x1 No major honours, and some of the cup wins could be called a little underwhelming. So this got me thinking about how we stack up to the other 71 EFL clubs (based on the make-up of the leagues last season). I delved into all 71 of their histories and compiled a list of everything they'd won in that time (as best I could, we are going back 120 years in some cases). I counted every trophy unless it was at non-league level (anything below League 2), or was regional (I didn't count our Gloucestershire cups for example). I also considered major honours to be worth more (kind of obvious, a League 2 title and a European Cup could hardly be weighted equally). And, of the 72 clubs, when looking at quantity and quality of honours, we came around 30th. So 6th in League 1 if all EFL clubs were positioned based on their honours history. So to summarise, we have underperformed by Championship standards but have more than most the clubs in League 1 and 2 to shout about when it comes to history. Maybe this isn't actually that relevant at all, but I found it interesting to do so though people might find it interesting to read. And you are correct, I'm not very fun at parties.

Sod European football, the EFL Trophy win clinches it the mighty reds have three!

As above. Plymouth fans currently ‘Oxfording’ - though they’re calling Schumacher a ‘rat’, where I believe our Liam was a ‘snake’.

Be a lovely boon if he does prioritise the Europa League and League position and go nice and weak against us. If we could scrap a win; be an amazing day for 9k travelling fans and always nice to make the 4th round.

I was worried they would get one by sheer will! The tackle by Pring at 92.30 did have me nervous!

Tidy full back, handled the League 2 to Championship jump better than most would. When McCrorie becomes available we’ll be well set there with the two of them.

Should keep the shirt off today. Quiet second half but did enough first and almost gave us us some daylight in the score.

How many did Nige get, total? None this season, two last, two the season before? So 4 total? Manning has two in seven games! I think we’ve solved our statistical mystery

Great result and I’m so bloody happy for LM. Hope he hasn’t mistaken anger towards the board for anger towards him. Some situation he’s walked into but that’s how to settle things down! ️ No new knocks despite the players going to WAR for the badge today. And - because we didn’t ever have to chase the game we didn’t have to rush Wells on, so he gets another week of prep time before he returns. Injured: McCrorie Atkinson Naismith Roberts King Benarous

Outstanding performance. People will remember the saves but did well from many crosses too.

Sad for him but he has to retire at this point. Football isn’t worth your health. Hope he recovers quick.
