Never deserved to win that. Biggest concern is trying to pick the guys up for Wednesday. Few injuries, going over 120 mins, losing... Gonna take some effort to get over it so quickly.

Villa on the other hand will probably put a poor side out tomorrow and breeze through

Forest is by far the best team we have faced this season on all occations.

Shame to go out on penalties.

Well. We sure showed them after the 7-0 mauling. Really poor first half.

Gutted. Hinshelwood penalty was really poor. The top 5 is not unachievable. Europa would be great. I hope Georginho is not out for the season. The players will have to step up into his position if they want to achieve something.

I think on balance that's a badly missed opportunity. Again. Curiously not at it at all in normal time, flickered briefly into life towards the end of ET. Too little, much too late.

We're a curious outfit. Capable of great things and yet very weak at times.
This is to be expected with the youth and lack of high pressure experience in our squad - to have quality and mentality you pay £££s and even then it doesn’t work out sometimes (see high profile names like Casemiro at Manchester United).

Disappointed as this was a rare chance at silverware for us, plus the injuries have a real chance to hurt our run-in and European hunt

If Dunk is such an assured pen taker why did hinch take one ahead of him, 2 ahead in fact! Too young and looked nervous crumbled under pressure. Others shouldve come forward.
Good point. Hinshelwood should not be taking third if that's his penalty. Short run up and side foot bobbler.

I think this will epitomise our season. We are good, not great, and we will just miss out on everything (Wembley, Europe). We are not as good as we were under De Zerbi that year, and that's okay. Obviously we wish we were, but we're not, and I'm content with that, as rubbish as it feels in this moment.

Forest a strong team. This is their glory season, when 22/23 was ours.
