    Tell you what I'm gutted with that tonight. For the most part we were really good and just like Saturday were the better side for me. Difference was they finished their chances and we were terrible in front of goal.

    FCD did well after an early booking but Ridehalgh got done for pace too many times and was a big reason the first goal was scored.

    Overall, a really enjoyable game and atmosphere and I think we can count ourselves unlucky not to have won.

    In 2003 we played Forest at home. Things were were going well until we removed Branch and put on Forrest.

    And this one's true.

    Just like Saturday.
    Deserved a lot more than we got.
    Missed loads of chances, again some poor decision making.
    Stonewall penalty when Angol was fouled, took him before the ball.
    Like most I think we need a forward who gets in the 6 yard box.
    Cracking away following as well.
    Non stop singing for 99 minutes.
    Cheered the team and manager off at the end.
    The supporters can see how we are trying and playing some good stuff.
    1 or 2 quality additions will see us promoted this season.
    Don't dip into transfer market we could be risking a place in top 7.

    We weren't outclassed. They took their chances and we didn't. Put a decent striker in this side and we go places.

    And audio coverage ONLY, on ifollow. No live video - even outside UK. Who on earth needs to block Forest v City in Poland? Bloody ridiculous.

    First competitive goal of our season, a small positive.

    I stand by my previous statements that Richard O'Donnell is the least reliable first choice keeper we've ever had during my 25 years of supporting City.

    No shame losing to Forrest.

    Massive match against Oldham now though. We need to start winning.

    Both full backs got done in their goals. However if we could finish we could have buried them. Angol 1 on 1 should have been taken. How Eisa missed the target I don’t know. encouraging in many areas. Cooke was a major influence. I worry if he gets injured. A group of us said at half time this would be a good test of this teams character at 2-0 down. They dug in and deserved more than they got. Our team showed some guys I’m pleased to say. It’s been a while.

    Agreed. If he added goals to his talent he wouldnt be in L2 though.

    Both opening games we’ve had to also move Callum Cooke into CDM where he’s not great tbh, so it effects all our midfield. Could do with another CDM and attacking mid tbh.

    No disgrace here, we've had a right good go at them. Ultimately undone by a £15million man

    Thought during half time we could crumble.

    Good second half has to be encouraging. No shame in that result.

    Not really read through the thread so apologies if this has been said already. The atmosphere from the city support was bouncing. Really glad I went and saw that performance, you would have thought we were a recently promoted championship side! proud of that team and the support. Got another stadium ticked off too.

    it will be a mystery if we don't go up!

    Your "customer number" is the number on your season ticket and your password is your post code if that helps.
    Give that a go.

    Fought back but ultimately outclassed.

    losing sutton is a worry but its another 90 for the lads together and we’ll be sharper for it.

    Hang on it’s their Academy 11……… Oh no it isn’t… both goals scored by a £13 million man supplied by someone on loan from the Prem…..

    That sounded a good performance to me!

    No disgrace tonight. None of us really expected us to win and in many ways we've played better than expected.

    Could do with a win on Saturday though otherwise it quickly turn into x number of games without a win kind of a run...

    He does lots of good work outside the box.
    When in it seems to panic or make wrong call.
