Nottingham Forest STL

@wt_analysis I wish Igor was faster. Would be terrible to defend if he was. I had wondered if he played Jair to get a good look against a good side to see if there was a future there - I think he got his answer. Summer signings (and exits) are going to be interesting.

(Late) thoughts on #NFFC yesterday. A decent end to a very up and down season. In tough conditions I was pretty happy with the application of the players, against a Bournemouth side who really turned things up in the second half. Forest probably had the better of the first 45, with Wood hitting the post from a great chance, and Gibbs-White opening the scoring with a well-hit shot through a very poor defensive wall. In the second half, Bourmemouth really began to target an out of position Jair Cunha, and that's where their equalising goal came from. I'm not sure it's a good sign for Luca Netz that Pereira went for Jair ahead of him going into the summer - but I thought the substitution came a little too late. A common theme in these closing games of the season has been Morato being Forest's strongest defender - I hope this is still an area of the squad Forest are looking to strengthen over the summer, but fair play to him for finishing the season well. The final stages of the game gave us a glimpse into the future without Elliot Anderson - Forest have to get that recruitment right to compete in the top half. Hayden Hackney would go a long way in filling the gap in quality Anderson will leave behind, but for me he certainly isn't a like-for-like replacement in a midfield pair and Forest would simply have to do more business on top of his potential signing. I thought Igor Jesus had a pretty strong game, he dropped into receiving positions really well, but as is often the case he was still caught wanting an extra half a second on the ball, something you won't get away with against a team like Bournemouth. Great to see Gibbs-White get another goal, and also for the fans to show their appreciation for the man I'd say was my Player of the Season. Neco Williams had a very strong season, as did Anderson, but there's absolutely no doubt in my mind that Forest would have gone down without Gibbs-White's incredible run of form in the last couple of months. We can't forget that though MGW's start to the season (as well as many others) was very disappointing. 1 assist in the first 9 PL games, plus another 7 in a row with no goal contributions soon after Dyche joined, didn't come close to what he's capable of. His challenge for next season is to replicate this recent form across a full campaign. Overall, a nice end to the season - one we'd all have taken just a couple of months ago. There seems to be an air of stability around the club at the moment - hopefully they can build on this positive end to the season, and get themselves set for a push on the top half.

1 - Elliot Anderson's Premier League rank among midfielders this season. 🥇 Touches (3,300) 🥇 Possession won (306) 🥇 Fouls won (80) 🥇 Duels won (297) 🥇 Line-breaking passes (376) 🥇 Successful passes (2,038) Everywhere.

@Trickyred1 And then him watching the goal after lol

@NFFCSTL That pathetic clearance by Keogh is a joy to watch.

Always celebrate this day!

Your reminder that if West Ham are relegated today, then next season will be the first season in the entire 138-year history of the English top flight without a team beginning with the letter W.

Morgan Gibbs-White has given Nottingham Forest the lead against Bournemouth — he has been involved in 11 goals in his last 10 Premier League appearances (nine goals, two assists). He has 15 Premier League goals this season — more than any other Englishman.

Does Hutch ever track back?

no Morgan Gibbs-White is the worst decision since pineapple on pizza

Just under 3000 #NFFC fans for the final away trip of the season - Great support throughout with no issues. Lots of you asking for an arrest to be made at the end of the game but sadly we can’t arrest for refereeing decisions 😉 Thanks to all for a great season, on the road.

Wow. That’s disgraceful. Shocking shocking shocking. That’s a CLEAR hand ball.

How on earth is that accidental!! It’s handball by Mbeumo. VAR was trying to bring some justice to the initial decision, invites ref to think again, to check the monitor. Ref sticks with his earlier aberration. Bizarre. Nottingham Forest rightly furious. #MUNNFO

You know it's one of the worst decisions ever when it benefits Man United but Gary Neville is still fuming. #nffc

@nottmtails An absolutely crazy decision

He's only gone and given the goal. That's bizarre. It was handball, surely? I'm very glad that Forest are not in relegation trouble any more.

Cunha has the ball in the net for United... but Mbeumo looked to have handled it in the build-up... this is likely to be chalked off, surely... #NFFC

WTH IS THIS CALL! HOW IS THAT A GOAL?!?! #NFFC

Crazy that this VAR is taking this long!

Ends level at the City Ground. ⏹️

@Claire_nffc_x It would be hilarious, but I’d prefer it if someone else would win because of it lol.

@Claire_nffc_x I’m honestly tired of Man City winning so I was happy to see their draw.

@Claire_nffc_x Yes!

#NFFC Our Wizard. #MGW
