I never cease to be amazed about the number of people that come on this board after a win and slag the team and manager off. Just enjoy the win for gods sake. Any win away in this league is a bonus.
Well said and only Championship away win of the weekend.

What I saw of the game (2nd half only), I was impressed by our ability to keep hold of the ball in the final third, allowing us to constantly keep pressure on the Forest defence, culminating in the winning goal, which was of the highest quality.
Looking forward, the younger players are only going improve and gain in confidence as the season progresses.

Vaulks is terrible, though.
I don't think Vaulks is terrible and I enjoyed seeing him in the starting 11 today. He's scored 9 goals in 71 v Bacuna's 4 in 99. People moan about his tackling but Ralls is just as dangerous (if not more so but I can't be bothered to look up the stats) IMO and that Arter bloke was adored by the fans who love players who run around a lot but don't do very much else other than get booked in the first 20 mins or sent off in the first 45. I don't think we'll keep him on after the summer and anyway, I think Bacuna's contract lasts 6 months longer than Vaulks.
Still only game 6 so let's not put these young lads under any more pressure by talking about possible league position until December.
Collins is a worry for me. He is painfully slow in thought and deed.
Great win though after 1-0 down today and Mick made the right call and early too. See, he does read this board!

Totally agree ,Vaulks cross was excellent.

Yes I agree, apologies I meant Phillips could have done better.

thanks to whoever it was who linked to this site after the Bristol game, here's their analysis of the forest match.
there's a lot of detail in there.

We played the usual 3 centre halves and wing backs.

I assumed as much looking at the personnel.
Weird that an analysis of us gets that wrong.

that's how the sky sports app had us lined up as well I think, maybe that's how we told them we were playing.

And on Flash scores as well but they often have it random.
Re: FT: NOTTINGHAM FOREST 1 - 2 CARDIFF CITY.
Bagan did get forward an awful lot on Sunday and watching the game it did strike me that Nelson was coming out to the left hand side a lot, so there may be some truth in it - maybe it was a one off given that Giles and Bacuna were out?

I noticed that. I'm looking forward to seeing how Bagan develops. He does like getting forward.
I think on Sunday it was more to do with the space he had to run into that prompted him to play further up the pitch, forcing Nelson a bit wider in defence, rather than a tactical decision, but I guess we will never know.
I must say that I have been disappointed with Ng since the start of the season. While his crossing has been ok, he does look cumbersome in defence. A lot of mistakes and quite slow.
I would certainly be starting Sang as right wing back over Ng

Sang was a bit Curate's Eggish against the wurzels mixing some good things on the ball that I don't think you'd see from Ng with fairly basic errors like missing the cross which led to the winning goal. Ng is, perhaps, not quite the player we thought he was after his first few matches for us,, but, because the team is so much younger these days, it's easy to forget that he is still pretty young himself and he's inexperienced in this league. I think right wing back is a position where we can rotate a bit - although he's made mistakes, I'd still have Ng down as the better defender of the two, but Sang has the edge going forward, I wonder if we could be seeing quite a bit of Sang playing in home matches and Ng being used more away from home?
