Indeed. But you'd never have known it with the...*drumroll*...'Championship Runners-Up' trophy celebrations.

I'm giving it 0% interest for the first 6 months.

We've won a few big games. We've lost a few big games. 'Twas ever thus.

There was a time when we'd beat Villa in big games, but 1910 is admittedly quite a while ago.

Just have to hope that this defeat has the same effect as the away one at Forest did.

It might well have been both.

Currently RDZ has a win percentage at Marseille of 55.17% (W16 D5 L8) from 29 games. At the Albion, he delivered 42.70% (W38 D22 L29) from 89 games.

At 31.82% (W7 D5 L10) from 22 games, Lopetegui has a higher win percentage at West Ham than Potter currently.

Potter now 3 wins, 2 draws and 6 losses in 11 games with West Ham. A win percentage of 27.27%. For context, with Albion he was 31.11% in 135 games (W42 D46 L47) and at Chelsea 38.71% in 31 games (W12 D8 L11). Whilst he's only been there a very short time, it's probably fair to say he's got...

"I haven't been expecting you, Mr Bond."

Forest don't lose on penalties. And in recent years we don't tend to win on them. The only hope I had was that Forest were missing a number of their regular takers, but even that impact was over-estimated. :(

Compare this game of fast free-flowing football with the borefest of last night. :rolleyes:

I hear what you're saying. But we'll expect Preston to bring the physicality today - Villa will know that they've been in a battle regardless of the outcome. An extra day's recovery and home advantage again with Villa having to travel away twice might even the playing field. I'm confident we...

You don't get into Europe for winning a Quarter Final. You don't get into Europe for winning a Semi Final. You do get into Europe through finishing high enough in the league. The table hasn't changed because we lost a penalty shootout. We still have a great chance of success.

3 points dropped.

At least we've had one success today.

Fabian Hurzeler "We were not resilient enough, not good enough and that is why we didn't win the game today. It is important that we analyse the reasons internally and it is important that we show a good reaction and try and improve on small things." On Nottingham Forest's set-up making it...

It happens. Especially when we don't play well and leave it to penalties against a team that never loses on them. Europe through the league it'll have to be then. Missed opportunity of silverware for sure, but the bigger picture is still good.

A poor game of football overall. Only got going in the last 10 minutes. At least it wasn't just one player who failed to score from the spot. Fair play to Forest for coming through with so many regular takers out or off the pitch. Disappointing and a missed opportunity for sure of silverware...
