Thought Watmore was injured there for a moment!

So did I, I think he's looking quite tired anyway, I'd consider taking him off at half time if there's even the hint of a niggle.

It was, but that situation was caused by his own poor attempt at a cross.

Maybe but so far he's set up the goal with one good ball and he's covering the defence really well. He's playing well all round.

I know, he was largely very good on Saturday too.

He's came back with a point to prove.

Saville's been called out for diving by the ref.

[White Band 388]

Can see a red card in this game.  Hope it's for them not us.

I don't think so. They were both told to cut it out from what I could see.

[AnglianRed 1,709]

Ha! Just noticed Forest have a player called Cafu...

Just as well he's nothing like the original.

 

[TeaCider24 1,957]

I'm happy with that at half time.

We've looked excellent going forward,  bit worrying at the back but we have the lead.

Could see that sow getting sent off second half. Already on a yellow and fouled with a yellow I think

The ref literally used the diving hand action.

I think Yates stands on his foot but Saville certainly makes the most of it. He's a bit gangly is Sav but he does like to get into players faces and cause problems, mess with their heads a bit.

Then he should have booked Saville 🤷‍♂️

First half done and I have no real complaints. If I was being picky, we could and probably should be 2 up. Forest look dangerous at times and I can see them coming back in the 2nd half. 

I'd also target Sow in the 2nd half, he's giving away so many fouls, he'll get a 2nd yellow before long.

Fingers crossed.

I reckon he'll get sent off for a foul on Morsy and Morsy will kick out at him in response, getting himself sent off at the same time.
