How are away fans getting tickets in the home end? I had a group of Forest fans behind me, one next to me and two lads in the row in front of me. Witton Upper.
No need to be condescending to Forest, one of very few clubs who can look down on us on the European Cups question.

It’s analysis of the game. And accurate as well. We were not good in this game and the result shouldn’t detract from that. If we’re serious about progressing we need to be honest in our analysis. We were poor today but we won, which is progress but don’t let it detract from the reality which is that there is work to be done. Emery would say the same.You don’t really know what Emery would say to be honest. Good trams don’t play well every week vut find a way to grind out wins and draws. We can’t come to the conclusion that Newcastle would automatically hammer us with a similar performance.I’m sorry; if you think Emery went away from that game happy, then I think we’ve plateaued already. There is no way he was happy with that performance. The elite do not settle. It was a poor performance from us.

Southgate was there yesterday, think he probably deliberately chose a game with a more high profile guest. I wonder if he found the time to have a word with Ollie about moving on.

Routine comfortable win against very poor and probably doomed opposition. Makes a nice change, long may it continue.I love boring, routine 2-0 home wins. Felt for a few years back at this level that we've had to suffer for every point won, this sort of win makes me very happy, thrillingly mundane.

Yesterday was very stress free. Forest were never going to score and didn't have any intention of doing so either. Wad always a case of when, not if for us. Felt like that on Tuesday too.
