We are quick to slam managers.
But Vitor played a BLINDER this week.
To motivate the team that started vs Midjjland, perfect subs to just get it done and not kill players, then spank Spurs (GD counts)
I tip my hat. A masterful performance in man management and tactics.
#NFFC
@BravoBoards@therandompundit Sure they got through in the end - but I didn’t think they looked better. The B team were flying. Definitely not sure why he took off McAtee - was brilliant. I thought maybe he would start or play a lot more on Sunday.
Like I said, we got the results, but didn’t understand Eur.
@NFFCSTL@BravoBoards Subs in Europa spot on for me.
I thought Sangaré needing hooking Ona yellow at Spurs. I was wrong!
He subbed CHO over Hutch as I hoped so we had a quick out.
I would have put on Domi for Yates, but actually Yates broke the game up perfectly.
Shows why I’m not a manager!

A word too for that away end.
One of the greatest there has been. A pleasure to be in there among you all. Didn’t even stop singing at half-time.
RED & WHITE ARMY!
#NFFC’s fringe players found the moment to stand tall, as Vitor Pereira prioritised the Premier League - but secured Europa League progress regardless.
McAtee, Bakwa, Hutchinson and Lucca all impressive, as Yates drove Forest into a Q final v Porto.

I was worried about his selection pre-match but I cannot speak highly enough about his performance and how calm and composed he was throughout.
Any neutral watching that game would never have thought he is so young and inexperienced. I've still got reservations over his long-term future at Forest but he was outstanding tonight. So pleased for him and all at the academy.

Can't think of a man who deserves a moment like that goal more than Yates. Get's so much unwarranted stick because of his technical limitations, but it's nights and games like this that show it's not just about being 'pretty' on the ball.
Yates is the leader of the squad and I couldn't be more delighted for him. It was a fantastic strike for the goal and he probably should have had one in the first half, and maybe another if he times his movement right in extra time.
In a time of need, in a time of desperation;
You can always rely on a big lad from Lincoln who loves this club to death to put on an immortal display
SKIPPER 🧱
#NFFC dealing a bit of consistent pressure for the first time in the game. Still chances on the counter but the Danes are looking more dangerous.
Murillo, Williams & Gibbs-White on for Ndoye, Hutchinson and Milenkovic. Not sure how wise it is taking off Forest’s best aerial defender…
Morato stays LCB with Murillo in the middle.
