I think you might have to put that game down in the ‘got away with it’ category.
Forest came away with a 1-1 draw against Charlton Athletic last night, despite finding themselves very much on the back foot for most of the game. A goal from Albert Adomah with less than 15 minutes to go spared the visitors blushes, but Sabri Lamouchi was not impressed by what he saw.
Speaking to the club website after the game, he said:
“We got stronger but at the end we are lucky to go back to Nottingham with one point because they played much better than us, especially in the first half.”
It looks as if the team’s performances so far this season have split the fan base somewhat, there were some who obviously have faith in the manager that this is just the start of something.
No we were not. We defended well against the onslaught in first half n fought hard in 2nd to force a draw. Far from the finished product but noticeable improvement from 1st match v WBA

Strong squad with several still not at their best and JC yet to return. Feels like SL is building something special!

At least he’s honest. Given time this manager will come good.

Whilst these guys look like they are going to need to take a lot more convincing before they will finally be on the manager’s side. Although after that first-half performance, I can sort of see where they’re coming from.
That's been the trouble with Forest for years. We always let the opposition dominate us too much. We
rarely stamp our authority on the game. I suppose it's the type of players we buy. Great talent, but not hard enough! ????— Adie (@adie6510) August 22, 2019
Why por que , recite the obvious ? Game ought to start with reds pressing high and using the wings . Why was Lolley not in? #nffc
