Didn't we beat Newcastle and Chelsea in previous rounds? Should count as "big games" if a quarter final does.

Spot on. Just wasn’t our day yesterday we’ll get over it. The desire to seek out scapegoats and point fingers sickens me. Support the team, turn up Wednesday and get behind them

I don't think Gomez can last 90 mins yet (yet alone 120)

That was my assessment too.
Physically and tactically Forest are a very good team and we did well to mitigate their quick breaks. They started at a very high tempo and this gradually declined. Going into extra time they seemed content to go for the draw when we had the slight upper hand.
Close game and we lost out.
Having said that we have won a couple recently where the margins have been fine. ‘That’s football’ as a certain ex manager used to say.
Yes and no. I can handle the love in provided it's not for bloody Palace.
Is it PotG?

Thought I'd seen it all before regarding this matter and I'm pretty much 'live and let live' about it but we were left aghast and open mouthed as one of our bunch got up and left after the first couple of penalties.

I avoided posting much or indeed saying anything about the game itself.
I honestly didn't think we did too much wrong. Forest are anti football away from home and we did a better job of containment than we did earlier in the season and brought subs on to try and change the game.
They are the type of team that a type of team like us struggle against. Swamp the midfield. Break up play with niggly fouls and falling over. It's dycheball with added iberian cynicism
A different ref would have booked Anderson twice and gibbs white twice (finger pointing and remonstrating in officials faces will cost the latter a long international career). Kavanagh or Oliver and one of those is off. Bankes was awful for both teams but is a ref who deals with the symptom but never deals with the cause.
Forest have had 3 pen shootouts for a reason. Because they're good at them. End of. Their cup strategy is their away strategy on steroids. Keep it tight, kill the game but with the added bonus of backing themselves to win after the draw on pens.
I won't blame any player who puts their hand up to take a pen
I had no issue with most forest fans after the game. Being happy and celebrating is fine but their were some right muppets in the train queue after. Waiting until up the bridge before lording it when out of reach. Or the 40 year old who decided to try and punch 3 teenage brighton fans the other side of the barrier because they laughed at him when he was goading them

what a pathetic response. firstly, its a 300 mile round trip and secondly even i at 61 could score a penalty in front of my team mates but id sh1t myself being watched by 30,000 fans and a few million online. I've seen dozens of comments online suggesting Hinch would miss before he even hit the ball. He pretty much relied on the goalie going the wrong way as the goalie had about a week to stop that goal going in
Didn't think Danny looked right physically.
I imagine that's the reason he's been coming on later in the game recently.
Pedro's tiredness meant we had to start him.
Another thing that went against us yesterday.
My sentiments exactly. If we can't win it (as we now can't) then I certainly don't want to see Bournemouth or Palace parading it. Let City win it as it means nothing to them but just another trophy.

We weren't allowed to play. That's what Forest do and why they are where they are.

Forest are third for a reason. They are tough to play against. It’s why we lost 7-0. Our performance could have been better but we could also have sneaked a win.

Horrendous journey home last night. M23 closed at Crawley, M25 closed at Leatherhed, roadworks around the A3 on the diversion. Got home at 2.45am, thank goodness it was a 5.15 kick off

This was a home tie in the quarterfinals of the FA CUP, that nearly all the big teams have been eliminated, with a great chance of winning our first ever trophy, so yes was a big game

FH had no change of tactics to counter their defensive setup, I would of thought he might of tried something different, but no same old way ,

Forest may have won, but I can sleep easy knowing I’ve never crossed a picket line.
