Harry Wilson is by far the best free kick specialist we have ever had. Quite simply magnificent :datass:.

One of the worst refereeing performances I have ever seen.

We didn't deserve to win though. Good first half but United had the better of the second and took their chances well.

Blackburn must have bottled it in the last few :lol: I do get the feeling this’ll finally be the season Leed’s finally get promoted though, unless they bottle the second half of the season.

Referee and linesmen were all over the place though, calling Derby offside when they were just about on, referee seemed to go on a spree of dishing out yellow cards in the second half as well.

We've bottled it late on in our last four matches against top end opposition - could've had 10/12 points and we've ended up with 2.

Still, it's been a good day for me elsewhere so I'm not gonna lose too much sleep about losing to one of the form teams of the league. :D

Absolutely crazy league this season. You've got to think Leeds and Norwich will get the 1 2, the amount of last gasp bail outs they're managing definitely makes it feel like their year.

Wtf! :o

I turned all the football off at our final whistle, so have literally just learnt of this on reading your post!

Can hardly gloat considering our game, but still... :slol:

I had Forest -1 in an acca today, and could quite easily see the collapse that was about to happen. Cashed it out for £115 about a minute before they scored their second. :lol:

Even whilst it was 0-0, there was a lot of pro Karanka chanting.

I actually thought he set up the team well, he set out to frustrate Norwich (and the fans through a bit of gamesmanship) and managed to grab a goal (and then 2 more), which I imagine is what was envisaged before hand- smash and grab raid.

I would say that if that game is played 10 times Norwich win more times than Forrest go 3-0 up.

It's interesting on the twitter announcing the Forrest match report, that all the tweets from Forrest fans were about Karanka not being able to close out games etc.

It's about the tenth time this season that we've let a 2+ goal lead slip.

This was a problem in Karanka's first full season at the Boro. We would keep the game tight, nick a goal and then sit deeper and deeper and invite more pressure. We ended up with a few 1-1 draws this way that might have cost us automatic promotion.

It was mostly sorted out the next season, when we did go up. There were a lot of nervy, tense 1-0 wins.

It's madness to be talking about sacking him though. You were 17th last season and you're in course to get about 20 more points. Like at Boro, he needs time to build. He's shipping more goals than is common for a Karanka side, so you have to presume he'll fix that eventually if he's supported.
