Win is a win - hopefully that is Kodjia a long way from fitness because he was lazy for me, if he had showed a 10th of the work rate of adomah, Davis & Snodgrass we'd have been out of sight.

Great assist for Adomah goal mind :-)

It's funny how we see the game so differently.

I thought Kodija, whilst not back to 100%, was one of our best players.

Whelan, Snodgrass, and Onomah were poor.

Davis needs to do more for me. At the moment he 'flatters to deceive'.

Davis was good!

Kodjia erratic but dangerous at his best

Whelan irritates me with his decision taking.

Do you mean "good" for a 19 year old who hasn't played much first team football"? I could see why people might give him the benefit of the doubt based on that.

It's early days, but he needs to do more for me.

Whelan was a walking corpse.

I thought he was our best player first half. Second half I agree with you. He's playing far too many games and being asked to do far more than should be expected.

Overall, I thought be were going to get slaughtered having watched the first 15 minutes but the goal changed everything and we looked far better for the rest of the half. Second half we rode our luck, we were scruffy, constantly giving the ball away, no plan again  but we won, exactly the type of half I expected when we appointed Bruce.

Thought Forest looked well drilled and organised but they're always going to limited due to their lack of funds.

I would blame Bruce for a loss so I am happy to give him credit for the win. I dont like giving away that much possession at home though and that was his choice. But hey, good win.

We won but it's all just a bit meh and boring. You can tell by the crowd, 1-0 up and you could have heard a pin drop. It's not the kind of football that's going to get fans off their seats and roaring encouragement.

Forest were absolutely dreadful but we still let them back into the game. From the off we make it so easy for the away team, we're slow and laboured and let them dictate the tempo with no pressure on the ball. Again this isn't something that gets the fans going. We need to be on the front foot and make them shit themselves in a big ground, not let them stroke the ball about at their leisure. Luckily they did nothing with the ball but give that much time and possession to a decent side and they'll punish us.

Whelan is garbage. He can't run and couldn't pass water.
Snodgrass doesn't look fit and looks like he's running in treacle.

Should win the next two and then we will be on a decent run for once going into tougher fixtures in October. Must improve though.

Irrelevant of his age he held up plenty of ball, pointless tactic without runners around him mind, much the same as having two wingers who I'm not sure delivered a cross between them all game

Sat far too deep again...isolated the front two. Hourihane had barely been in the game prior to his free kick. BUt i guess this is the Bruce way and it won't change. Sitting back and hitting them on the break at home is not the way forward imo but a wins a win. Thought Kodija, whilst frustrating at times was good and is the one player that can make things happen out of nothing. Davis was very good when we have men supporting him and running past him...sitting back leaves him too much to do.

Love the result, hate the football. That'll do as a minimum.

The Manager has just confirmed that Ross McCaramac is off to Melbourne on loan.

Any further and the fecker would be on his way back!

He also lost some headers he should have won, let the ball bounce off him too much, gave away silly free kicks, and fell over too easily.

He's young so he gets cut some slack for a while yet. But, to be a regular, he needs to do more for me.

The player most comfy on the ball is John Terry. He plays more forward passes and is quicker on the ball than Whelan.

Snoddy was a liability today equally useless in attacking and defending.

That's right and grim at the same time. Someone who can win the ball and play a quick forward pass is sorely missed.
