I'm pissed off that our manager couldn't see something so basic as to put an extra man in midfield to protect our lead so god knows what our chairman feels. He shouldn't be tweeting it though (if that was his point).

If you straight hit the post and it doesn't go in that simply isn't unlucky, it's inaccurate. I'm not sure how that can be argued. Deflections, bobbles etc are different obviously.
Why have people got a bee in their bonnet over the phrase unlucky.  A shot from 25 yards missing it's target by 5 cm is of course strictly inaccurate, but it is also a little unfortunate.  Unlucky if you will.  We certainly haven't had the rub of the green or the results out performances have deserved in my opinion.  Of course if you prefer to take a more accountant like 'black & white' view, then there is arguably rarely any luck in a game.  Forest scored twice and so did we - fair result?  I don't buy it, but it is your prerogative to think that way.

We also have a very different opinion on what consists of actually having 'a bee in their bonnet' as I far from have one. I also made no opinion on whether the result was fair or not so you have no idea what way I think. The result was very clearly a lucky onw for Forrest as we created much more and dominated the game. That has no sway on whether I think that a shot that hits the post and out is unlucky.

Release the bee.

But there is an alternative view that we were playing well and had five goalscorers on the field and a third goal shouldn't have been too hard to find, a deserved thumping win could have done wonders for confidence.

I would have bought on Jedianak for McCormack straight after our second and hindsight would have proved me right but I'm not going to be too hard on RDM for being far braver and more positive.

I'm still pretty optimistic about the season, the only side I've seen who I've been impressed with are Brighton and that seemed to be a one off. We'll be OK.

I think a lot of managers wouldn't have been so naive and therefore hindsight shouldn't really be needed, unless you're Sherwood against Leicester. Especially with our fragility holding on to leads. I don't dislike RDM I just think he got that really wrong.

Perhaps although I felt we were far superior to Forest than we were to Leicester last year.

He mentioned a large deal he was hoping to complete before the takeover was finalised. He said the purchase of Villa was relatively small compared to a deal he was working on. Sounds like we haven't needed the parachute money!

Indeed but let's hope he hasn't pwned the club. The money has to come from some where and very few are willing to give it at interest free loans but I guess we'll just have to wait until we find out exactly who is Dr Tony Xia, other than the best tweeting Chairman of of English football club.

The nose was questioning his net worth I think and asking how he funded the transfer activity etc.  They aren't obsessed though.

I don't agree mate. 2 nil up at Leicester and coasting to a deserved victory. That was until Sherwood intervened with the  worst case of "if it ain't broke don't fix it"
Still on to this season. I think it is only a matter of time till we go on a mad run and surge up the table. I can feel it in my water.
