    Draw is a fair result. Dont think we came close to matching their effort and intensity in the 2nd half which is dissappointing but a very good goal from Amad gets us the point

    Not the end of the world. As shit as Forest have been this season, they've not actually lost that many at home.

    and Dyche knows how to organize a team that is struggling and make them difficult to play against
     
    So, we get a corner we shouldn’t have, but also don’t get one we should have had. Also Forrest gets a corner they shouldn’t have.
    Now watch the story being how we scored from a corner we shouldn’t have had…

    Something has to be up with the bench options. Not making a single attacking sub was certainly a choice

    Cunha and Mbeumo were our most threatening players, and I get wanting to keep Sesko on for the aerial threat.

    I'd have loved to see Amorim sacrifice a CB for a Mount or Zirkzee, but we all know that's never happening
     
    Our GD simply isn't Top 4 worthy. And hasn't been for a good 2 or 3 years.
     
    5 mins injury time is a joke. Forest had so much time wasting when they were leading.
     
    Good response by us. I am pretty sure we would have lost that last season with physical teams like Forest dominating us. Dorgu made a difference but really wanted Mount to come on.
     
    2 goals scored away against a defensive team. We should be winning these. Defensive lapses is what cost us.

    We dropped 2 points because Amorim, unlike the last couple of games, was too cowardly to go for a win with attacking subs. So disappointed in his in-game management, again. He really doesn't have a Plan B.

    Give over. We dropped two points to a team who played like they did last year when they were in the Top 4 for most of it and one of our players had 2 minutes of just being absent.

    We gained a point because Amorim, contrary to what most people on here wanted, persisted in keeping his best attacking threats on the pitch.

    Away games in the Prem are always tricky. We have 10 points out of the last 12. Forest have two top level centre backs and a great midfield pair who performed very very well today and we faced adversity and clawed it back. Promising
     
    I'd like to see the time added up with the Forest down, the var checks and 3 goals added up.
     
    Send this garbage referee back to league 2. Shame how we started the second half, should've won this game but it is what it is.
     
    Solid point all things considered. Hard place to go, with new manager bounce.

    We take the point and remain unbeaten in four and try to get something at spurs
     
    Lucky to get a draw in the end. Lacklustre to say the least but definitely would have been a loss not so long ago.
     
    If we had nicked a win it would have been a bit of a robbery. Too many individually bad performances to deserve a win out of that, but at least the unbeaten run goes on.

    What a joke. Non sense 5 minutes. I was actually hoping for 7-8 minutes. Its appalling how the rules arent same for everyone.

    I don't think you watched the second half - Sesko barely touched the ball, barely pressed, never kept it when it was passed long, and when he did get involved it was mostly to give it away. No one who's objectively looking at that game instead of blindly defending cult of manager would think he was one of our best attacking threats today - not while Mount/Zirkzee were on the bench.
     
    Apart from Arsenal it is very tight point wise. People will moan if we are a lot lower this week, but one result and it all changes again. Arsenal are the only dominant side at the moment.
     
    stay at the top half of the table and buy a couple of players in January

    I wouldn’t have started Sesko to be fair. I’d have started Mount and played Cunha up top. Sesko was very poor up against a top top centre back pairing. Similar to how Amorim played Cunha against Liverpool to win the second ball and not play the game VVD and Konate would want, that’s what we should have done to combat Milenkovic and Murillo.

    I’m referring to the lenty of people were asking for Amad, Cunha and Mbeumo to be subbed off. At one point someone said they weren’t bothering running and compared Amad to Rashford
     
    We could have been up to 2nd in the table had we won, even if only temporarily, but after the rest of this weekend’s results are completed, we could be right back in mid table.

    Sesko would be a one out of ten for me. Not only was he hardly involved with mobility limited and was like a spare part for most of the game, his first touch was awful. And that's bloody basic. He has done nothing to show he belongs at this level. And if you are in that position show some effort. Get stuck in. Nope. Nothing. A dud so far.

    Are you saying Dyche has produced a masterplan we're struggling to counter?

    I'm not watching the game, so your post is particularly intriguing.

    Yeah he’s essentially having the wide men, fullbacks, and CM’s sit in until the ball gets circulated wide. Then they are pressing with all 3 creating an imbalance and leaving Amad and Mbuemo with no chance or way out. It nullifies how this System under Amorim normally builds up as it’s meant to be very flank dependent. Bruno and Casemiro had tons of space in the middle the few times the ball arrived quickly to them but even then they aren’t carriers.
     
    We continue to struggle with crosses and aerially on both ends, but this is the type of match we’d have lost in the past.

    Happy with the draw, away game, against a Forest side that played like it’s hurt and cornered.
     
    If we can win most home games and at least draw most away games, we’ll be in a shout for top 4. The way that game went today, a draw is a great result.

    Ok considering the situation can a draw be a win?

    A draw can be a loss when the only thing of any meaningful use is a win. We're getting nothing out of this season if we can't get three points from teams below the relegation line.
