We asked you for your thoughts on Saturday's Premier League match between Nottingham Forest and Newcastle.
Here are some of your comments:
Forest fans
Tom: Forest’s performance against Newcastle was much improved from the ‘batten-down-the-hatches’ approach taken against Arsenal, and the lacklustre showing in the FA Cup. The new goalkeeper Mats Sels showed a marked improvement in distribution, however more goals conceded from silly mistakes mean Forest are their own worst enemy.
Andy: We were good today. There were some real positives for us. Callum Hudson-Odoi has really improved, Anthony Elanga looks class, and Morgan Gibbs-White is really starting to drive us forward. I look forward to the rest of the season.
Matt: I think Forest deserved a draw today and were unlucky in the end. Yes, it is imperative that we defend set pieces better. For me, much softer penalties than Taiwo Awoniyi's have been given for other teams this season but, yet again, Forest don't get one. That moment was crucial. It could have easily been 3-2 to Forest after 65 minutes.
Samuel: We play some beautiful football but we just haven’t got that player to put the ball in the back of the net. We had two great results after Steve Cooper's sacking - since then we haven’t improved. Time is running out!
Newcastle fans
Stephen: We looked out of sorts tonight with a few players not at their best. Anthony Gordon especially gave the ball away a lot tonight. Bruno Guimaraes was excellent but we really seem to miss Joe Willock in midfield. However, we did enough to get the three points and that's all that counts at the minute. We showed a lot of character again, which is a positive.
Victor: Very average. We have too many players with no touch. They graft but it's huff-and-puff stuff. Bruno was class. Gordon and Lewis Miley are exhausted. Dan Burn and Sven Botman are lacking pace. We will be lucky to get into the top seven. It was a battling performance though.
Richy: We can all see that Burn is struggling. He is an easy target for the opposition and it's unbalancing the team. He has been great for us and has a role to play but we can’t afford sentiment if we want to progress. It was nice to see us tighten up and cling on to a lead in a tight game - it’s been a while!
Richard: Remember when we used to keep clean sheets? I think the character of the team is magnificent and our last two results have shown this, but I’d be even happier if we stopped letting in so many goals. It’s not a back-five issue. The team need to plug the holes! We can’t keep relying on tenacity to get points.
