FT: NOTTINGHAM FOREST 0 - 2 CARDIFF CITY. Match thread

[Carl Dale's Mole]

Awful second half but a brilliant result

[NYCBlue]

Well done City. Clean sheet. Excellent 3 points. Especially after last week. Very poor performance by Forest today though.

Can't argue with that, great way to bounce back after Wednesday

[MacAdder]

Kiefer off the mark, result superb, performance decent.
Good time for a run of wins.

Well done City

[2b2bdoo]

excellent result, very disappointed the way we couldn't keep the ball the 2nd half though.

think Forest may struggle this season.

They will if they pick Grabban over Taylor every week

[Trigger]

Lost composure second half but also Forest were pushing forward. Need to be able to control the ball better though.

Overall excellent away win, gets us off and running

[Hilts]

Game was won 1st half. Job done.

[cyril evans awaydays]

Last week we were complaining that Wednesday did a Cardiff on us. This week we did a Cardiff. Deserved the lead in the first half and, whilst we sat on it a bit too much, Forest did a lot of huffing and puffing but created next to no clear cut chances.

[Former Labour leader]

I pointed out before the game that this ref had us 3 times last season. Each time we won without conceding a goal. Make it FOUR!
James Linington is a bluebird.😀

and not a bad ref to be fair. Let the game flow, managed a couple of flare ups with calmness and didn't take the card out of his pocket!

Tomlin time.

A couple of things concerned me despite a fantastic away win.

1. Tomlin not in the starting eleven for the second successive game. If the manager thinks he has issue playing 90 minutes then I am worried for us in the longer term.

2. We need to blood youth or players who struggle to get game time so why has Harris decided to stick with Bamba on the bench. ?

I think his playing time is really over and I would like to see someone getting a chance on the bench

Tomlins had a bad hamstring injury. Hes not match fit.

Didn't automatically give free kicks when players tumbled on the slightest contact either. Very refreshing

Apart from Tomlin not being match fit enough for a whole game after injury, Bamba was the correct choice in the circumstances today.

Personally I'd have Bamba on the bench every game for his experience and general influence.

Yes it would be good to blood a youngster or two but only if they are good enough.
Clearly at the moment there aren't any.

Edit:
I have previously said we need cover for Tomlin long term so agree there.

[SLUDGE FACTORY]

Bluebirds ! Bluebirds !

[Former Labour leader]

Excellent first half. Worked hard and rode luck a bit 2nd but a deserved win.

[Whisperer]

Well done bluebirds - you made Johnny Owen cry again. 😂

[Maurice Swan]

Well done bluebirds - you made Johnny Owen cry again. ��

What a bloody ridiculous comment.

[Dorcus]

Great win but it didn't paper over the cracks and in fairness Forest looked poor. Only Moore, Ralls and Smithies impressed me. Very disappointed in Ojo.

[jeepster]

I like the way Moore attacks the ball and his awareness of the flick on by Morrison.

[Whisperer]

What a bloody ridiculous comment.

Yeah what’s ridiculous about it ?
