[Buxtonclaret]

Woody scores again.

[Vegas Claret]

Forest are battering Brentford

[Buxtonclaret]

Palace one up.



Disallowed !

[Vegas Claret]

Chelsea 0 Palace 1 brilliant freekick from Eze

edit: just seen the replay, lots of power but awful from the keeper. VAR doing it's best to rule it out to help the big club

[Vegas Claret]

ruled out 0-0

[Holmechapel]

And it does.

And succeeding

[Burnley Ace]

Of course it should be disallowed, the Palace player nearly picked the Chelsea defender up!!!

[CardyTheClaret]

With the Palace goal - are they making this up as they go along? Seems really harsh to me.

[Tricky Trevor]

Sky comms not listening to the ref. Goal wasn’t disallowed for offside or for Guehis shove. It was for being within a metre of the wall and that was in use last season, so not new.

[PremierLeagueClass]

Right decision. It doesn’t help that the commentary team haven’t got a clue what’s going on.

[aclaretinstevenage]

VAR Destroying football one goal at a time!

Wrestling waiting for dead balls into the box - no foul - whereas lean into an opponent goal disallowed.

No surprise that Darren England didn't have the balls to stand up to the Stockley Park pillock.

[Newcastleclaret93]

Said it before the season started, if we want to stay up Brentford are the team to beat.

For who or what being within a metre of the ball?

[Holmechapel]

For who or what being within a metre of the ball?

The Wall.

[Tricky Trevor]

For who or what being within a metre of the ball?

A metre of the WALL. Sky have just clarified that was the decision and it is correct.

[Vegas Claret]

Forest must surely be the tallest team in the division ? massive side

[Vegas Claret]

how is that not a pen to Forest ? unreal

[Vegas Claret]

2-0 Forest

[CoolClaret]

Forest must surely be the tallest team in the division ? massive side

Which is what we need to emulate. Play our most physical players.. We have quite a few tbh now, Cullen plays above his size as well I think, doesn't get bullied.

yep that's why it'll be interesting to see how Leeds do, they've just bought a bunch of big lads. First thing Pep did was sign a bunch of big lads at City, this league is about power.

[Vegas Claret]

3-0 Forest

[appleton]

Wood again

[CoolClaret]

Brentford are in massive trouble.

[CardyTheClaret]

A metre of the WALL. Sky have just clarified that was the decision and it is correct.

I don't get that. I'd understand a retake, but why disallow a goal? The comms are now saying it's because the Palace defender was within a metre of the wall.

[Darnhill Claret]

Come on Forest, you can get us up to 17th.
Hopefully Arsenal can get us to 16th. WHAT?

[She]

Chris Wood what a super Premier league striker scores goal in that league for fun,oh how I wish we had him in this current team.

[GrahamBranchsPerm]

Brentford, Wolves and West Ham are the teams the promoted clubs have to target, in order of likelihood. IMHO.

UTC.

[billyhamilton82]

One more goal for Forest and we're out of the relegation zone

[CoolClaret]

Chris Wood what a super Premier league striker scores goal in that league for fun,oh how I wish we had him in this current team.

We have been looking for an adequate replacement for 3.5 years now... Let's hope Broja can be that man.

Don't hold your breath.

Cullen was bullied for the first and third goal yesterday.

[Pickles]

Slagged off to high heaven on here though. We've not had a striker at his level in this league before or after.

Nothing new is it though

[GrahamBranchsPerm]

Love Cullen and feel he can make it with the right players around him like Leslie but against top ten midfielders feel he does need to release the ball quicker to avoid being dispossessed.

UTC.

[CoolClaret]

Cullen was bullied for the first and third goal yesterday.

He wasn't bullied for the first at all; he was beaten around the outside by a rapid winger.

[CoolClaret]

Don't hold your breath.

We have to live in hope otherwise, what's the point?!

[She]

We have to live in hope otherwise, what's the point?!

The point is we can't compete in this league.

[dougcollins]

With some reason in his last season with us.

[BurnleyFC]

Chris Wood what a super Premier league striker scores goal in that league for fun,oh how I wish we had him in this current team.

He wanted out.

He did really well for us, but **** him.

[She]

He wanted out.

He did really well for us, but **** him.

Ok that's the spirit

[BurnleyFC]

Ok that's the spirit

Why?

I’m a Burnley fan, not a Nottingham Forest or Chris Wood fan. He was superb for us, but he wanted out as was his prerogative.

I actually quite enjoyed watching Forest implode a bit towards the back end of last season, because their chairman is an utter ****.

[CoolClaret]

The point is we can't compete in this league.

We can compete against teams in the bottom 10 - we just need to find the right formula.

[kentonclaret]

Brentford, Wolves and West Ham are the teams the promoted clubs have to target, in order of likelihood. IMHO.

UTC.

I have a feeling that Brentford will have strengthened significantly before the window closes. Quattara, their recent £42.5m acquisition signed too late to make his debut for Brentford today.
Stop press: Sunderland have announced a new signing.

[Pickles]

He wasn't bullied for the first at all; he was beaten around the outside by a rapid winger.

Yep, bullied. Doesn't win the first challenge well enough, is beaten to the second ball and then doesn't get close enough to Kudus. Bullied by a bigger, stronger, quicker player.

[Commy]

I've just realised that Wissa isn't in the Brentford team. If he goes as well they really are going to struggle. They will have lost 3 of their top 4 goal scorers from last season.

[Jakubclaret]

We can compete against teams in the bottom 10 - we just need to find the right formula.

At this point we haven't played anybody in the bottom 10 to establish that so it's impossible to say. You could actually say based on last season we have yesterday & look how that went. The people completely crediting tottenhams uplift solely on the managerial change is very premature.

Not sure why I bother -

I'd bank on my last pound Spurs will be top half this time, not to mention, getting 14 shots off away at Spurs is certainly competing. We had chances. It was far from an absolute route.

[wilks_bfc]

At least we won’t finish opening weekend in the bottom 3

[CoolClaret]

Anderson-Wharton

Ideal midfield for England at the WC, change my mind.
