Not our best half. Hopefully that means the second half will be our good one.

Bright side, nothing to complain about from the ref, really.

Ok, level at half time. We have many gears to go up into.
Both teams have been pretty slow and untidy. Forest have had the better of it but we've had more shots.

Underwhelming so far. Forest definitely the better side. Too many of our players off the pace.
Solid at the back

That was a shocking first half. Good news is we made it to half time, we will win this now.

Whole teams seems to be 2 yards off and Mitoma seems to have lost all sense of awareness of what's going on around him.

To add a bit of objectivity, the betting markets have the draw and us at similar odds of 2.5 and 2.7 respectively. Forest to win in 90 is the outside bet at 4.7, so from a neutral point of view we can’t have looked too bad.It's fine....seriously.

Forest the better side in a poor 1st half.

Well it’s not 7-0 bad but not really an inspiring half
Seem to be lacking ideas, Gomez would be the obvious key (for Yasin) but can’t recall if he’s on a yellow or not

Keep the faith...we have a LOT more to come. We weathered a bit of a storm but it's still 0 - 0. They're hard to beat but nothing that special.

The best thing about that half is that we are still level. They are a good team but feel we are standing off them too much. We look sluggish with little movement and Mitoma in particular is having a shocker.

At least it'll be behind our goal in the second half. So we'll still have the full set of cameras for the Mitoma wonder winning goal all angles video later.
The low block a d fast break. We've always done so well against that! And these guys are the masters of it.

This would be pretty dour stuff to watch as a neutral, I think, but I’m finding it both entertaining and stressful as an Albion fan.
They’ve been comfortably the better side, but we’ve managed a few sighters, Perv, Ayari and Baleba at the end of the half. They’ve had the only shot on target with Awoniyi.
It’s incredibly packed in the middle and we haven’t used our width well at all. Our best moment at the end of the half came from JPVH simply running into that space and getting it towards the box.
Mitoma having another real off day, (no, I’m not scapegoating, or saying he’s shit, so don’t piss your pants) but he’s losing the ball too much and not helping enough defensively like Minteh is on the other side. Looks very tired mentally and physically. Bottled a 50/50 with Anderson too which annoyed me. But he’s a match winner even when playing poorly so he has to stay on.
Hoping for better in the second half, but think they can go up a gear or two too.
Their defence is superb and I love Murillo and Milenkovic, they’re both so fast and read the game superbly. Aina is useful too, and has pocketed Mitoma.
