So just out of interest, did the Forest player fall to the ground clutching his face because Tarkowski threatened to punch him? Or did he simply try to make the most of Tarkowski being a little over physical ona football pitch? What Tarkowski did was a bit silly and wasn't really needed as we had them in our pocket anyway. It in no way amounted to assault, if it is then the courts will be busy as every player in the land will have to have a date set.
Forest were out of ideas after 2 minutes. Their plan was scuppered almost immediately. Their plan was the same plan we had whenever we turned up anywhere for about 18 months or so. Getbyonahlfntimemat 0-0 then assess it. At the game, there was nothing in terms of nerves in that first half, not from where I was in the crowd anyway. I wouldnt say I was comfortable for the first 45 minutes, but then I've felt comfortable at 2-0 up before and lived to regret it. A few times. We needed a second goal because we're Everton, nothing to do with Forest.
Dyche raised that incident because he has to create a them v us mentality to get his team out of trouble. "The cards dont fall for us, we dont get that kind of stuff, woe is us" lf Notts Forest were in 10th, he'd not of mentioned a thing about it, regardless of result.
