A bad day at the office, losing to Forest at home

Surely this was a guaranteed 3 points with Forest only having played on Thursday in Europe, losing to Braga 1-0 in Portugal (and they missed a pen), our great home form, and us needing to avenge our opening day defeat at their place. However, we were well below par and Forest ran out easy winners 0-2 with breakaway counter attack goals, one in each half. Also, both Damsgaard and Ajer had to be taken off with knee and ankle injuries, respectively. Thiago nearly scored after only two minutes following a great Schade run down the left, but his shot went wide. We applied the pressure after the break but this did not result in even one shot on target (we only had one shot on target athe whole game). Now we know why Ajer gets the nod over van den Berg. A performance to forget (we probably wouldn't have scored if there had been 90 minutes of added on time, plus picking up two injuries). This does not bode well for our visit to Villa next Sunday and I already have my ticket.
