Hoping we show more ambition than we did at home to them and Sunderland last season.

Palace flirted with relegation and Forest could easily do the same.
Probably get sacked soon anyway

DCL ain't fit: he should have taken a touch or 2 instead of hitting that...

James given MOTM
He was in my top two or three but think I’ll agree with them.

make no mistake about it

getting rid of meslier is a game changer

he made mistakes and clangers which cost us games

but my gosh.. forest are a tough team, who would have thought a 4-0 aggregate away in 3 days

insane

we are so good right now

Great win and made comfortable by us having James Trafford. Made the saves look easy but I don't think we get a clean sheet with Meslier, Perri or Darlow. So far showing how important he should be for us. Think so far it is Burnley form and being the difference maker in tight games. Don't concede and you have a chance to win any game.

Not sure, if the ref thought it skimmed off Nmecha’s chest it would’ve been offside when Justin kicked it.
