Nottingham Forest 1-3 Newcastle: Supporter Reactions

Following Sunday’s Premier League fixture between Nottingham Forest and Newcastle, supporters were invited to share their views. Below are selected comments from fans: Nottingham Forest Supporters John: “Tough to take but a fair result. All the things that came off last week didn’t today. No lack of effort or commitment – things just didn’t go for us against a strong team with a good manager who’d worked us out. Like Nuno said, we go again next time.” Andy: “Poor in the final third against a physical Newcastle. That was the difference. Neither team had lots of chances – Newcastle just took theirs.” Ken: “Thought we looked leggy from the off. Beaten by the better side, but borne from our inability to create anything at all and their ability to create and take chances. Eddie Howe worked his magic at half-time and we had no answer to it. Never mind, it has shown us what is required to stay in that top six and we have a break now to recharge.” Newcastle United Supporters Kevin: “Even at 1-0 down we were still the better side. Composed on the ball and on the front foot. It’s taken a while but Eddie has now found the winning combination and balance in the midfield area. Harvey Barnes, super sub!” Bluey: “Not the best first half from us but dug in. Ryan Yates for them should have been off. I counted at least three yellows, maybe four for his play. The high line worries me as we are always open to getting caught on the break. Big Dan Burn just hasn’t got the pace to defend counter attacks. Joelinton is some boy – what a transformed player he is.” Sandra: “Brilliant second-half display after a gritty first. Shame Anthony Gordon and Barnes can’t start together, however if Harvey keeps making supersub appearances and scoring goals well, why not. Brilliant game to watch.”
