Nottingham Forest 2-1 Huddersfield Town
Town throw away a decent chance against 10 men with some pathetic tactics (and folk used to grumble at PJ for his tactics, but this is even worse than that imo). AR took it upon himself that one up front was the way to win this game.......
Forest had Kelvin Wilson sent off for a professional foul on Malvin Kamara in the 35th minute - Town rewarded with a penalty, which Phil Jevons dispatched with aplomb.
Still Town persisted with 1 upfront, instead of trying to attack (how bloody well negative can you get ffs) now we had the extra man. It was still 1-0 to Town at half time.
Both Jon Worthington and Malvin Kamara picked up injuries resulting in both being subbed (hope it is nothing too serious).
Not surprisingly Town managed to concede not once but twice. 68th minute, a goal with some fortune - Forest sub Chris Cohen with a shot that ricocheted off a Town foot to beat Matt Glennon. And just when it looked like we might just scrape a draw, 2 minutes into injury time Lewis McGuigan lost his marker and rifled an unstoppable shot.

I'm going to lay the blame firmly with Ritchie for this one. Why oh why, with a side that was still smarting from a drubbing last weekend and down to 10 men, did we persevere with 4-1-4-1. Thought that formation had died out during the Jacko era. It is a disgrace, and I am furious. Not said Ritchie Out yet, but I am a gnats gonad away from it I truly am.
