Didn't find the first half depressing either. Forest outplayed us and deserved their lead but it was a surprisingly decent game of football and it felt like the right changes at half-time (Dacosta off, Dabo shifted was just the ticket) could get us back into things.
Not really a 'toilet match' - though one doesn't like to be seen to be quibbling with a man who shows such insight into the game.
Otherwise, that's another top piece by Laurence and I look forward to more. Since I never get to games and have grown to love ifollow, his whole-body, immersive matchday reports remind me what football's really about.
