Nottinghamshire

We asked for your thoughts after Saturday's Premier League game between Nottingham Forest and Manchester United.

Here are some of your replies:

Forest fans

Kevin: Fight, bottle, determination. Sean Dyche has unlocked everything that Ange Postecoglou failed to. A fair result in the end although I don't think it was a corner that led to the opening goal.

Malcolm: Improved cohesion, looking more likely to score and Callum Hudson-Odoi is looking sharper. We need to put our best competitors in the six-yard box to defend set-pieces and our goalkeeper needs to be much more assertive in his domain. He needs to try to dominate his space, with more punching practice and strength under pressure. Dan Ndoye is settling in and looks strong. A win will give us all a massive boost.

Gary: Despite the set-piece issue, I think Forest turned a corner in this game. There is cause for real optimism for the first time since the opener against Brentford.

Rob: Supporters are craving stability after a farcical start to the season, and I'm confident this manager together with his backroom team will give us that. You can see the impact he is having already, but we are still very much a work in progress. Players clearly knew their roles, especially in midfield where Elliot Anderson, Morgan Gibbs-White and Ryan Yates were excellent and disciplined. Onwards and upwards.

Man Utd fans

Stefan: Despite leading and being pegged back, this is still a game United would've lost last season. We are still showing improvement and there is still something to build on. If you can't win, make sure you don't lose.

Mark: Almost lost this game due to not being competitive enough on too many levels. Poor defending, lacklustre midfield and attack and giving the ball away cheaply yet again. All these faults need to be addressed in order to continue to moving upwards.

Edward: This defence is really getting embarrassing - playing Diogo Dalot and Luke Shaw together just doesn't work. I can see that, the fans also see it, so how on earth does the manager not?

Robert: If there is improvement, I don't see it. When you are losing and you have a very ineffective centre-forward on the field, why wouldn't you replace him? Why change out the backline when you need to get forward and score goals. United were very lucky to escape with a point.

Nottingham Forest boss Sean Dyche speaking to BBC Radio Nottingham's Colin Fray: "It is a positive thing to say on this occasion. I think it was a marked improvement om the Bournemouth performance. The reaction today was first class I thought. We came in at half time a bit aggrieved with the situation but we haven't dealt with the situation either, so we have to do better with that. But second half the reaction was excellent."

Dyche on controversy over the awarding of a corner for Manchester United for their first goal: "The thing that is really annoying. The assistant is 75 yards away, how can you see that? Those decisions are massively important. The goal line technology says if one millimetre is on the line, it's not a goal. However closely we look at this, it is on the line. Why not just use VAR for that one, it'll take five seconds. Don't give it from that distance. If you're 10 yards away I may give the benefit of the doubt but not 70-80 yards away. I am aware there have to be rules but there has to be an override for me. There has to be someone who overrides it and says that can't count as the ball was in.

"The reaction today was first class from the players. The fans were brilliant as well, especially when we got the second. The noise, tremendous."

Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis has praised the "courage and selflessness" of those caught up in a mass stabbing on a train on Saturday night.

Eleven people were injured and received hospital treatment after the attack, which took place on a train travelling from Doncaster to London.

Two British men in their thirties were arrested and police said there was currently "nothing to suggest" it was a terror incident.

Forest said some of the club's London-based supporters were travelling home from their fixture against Manchester United.

"The Club is aware that many individuals demonstrated extraordinary bravery which undoubtedly helped prevent even greater harm," a statement read.

"The entire Nottingham Forest family stands firmly behind them as they recover from the events of yesterday."

Evangelos Marinakis, Nottingham Forest's owner, said: "Everyone at Nottingham Forest is shocked and deeply saddened by what happened. The courage and selflessness shown by our supporters on that train represents the very best of humanity and the very best of our club's community.

"We will make sure any supporter caught up in this incident receives whatever financial support they require to enable them to access the best possible medical care as they recover. Our thoughts and prayers are with all those affected."

Seven days ago, one of the central midfielders heavily linked with a move to Manchester United - Brighton's Carlos Baleba - failed to shine at Old Trafford.

Nottingham Forest's Elliot Anderson is another, but he did much better against Ruben Amorim's team.

Anderson played with an energy Baleba lacked. He was aware of danger, nipping in to seize possession from Matheus Cunha close to his own area midway through the first half, and he was not worried about chasing down lost causes, as he did to retrieve a ball that seemed certain to roll over the line in front of the home dugout.

He picked his moments to push forward and would have been in a shooting position close to goal had he been able to control Callum Hudson-Odoi's short pass on the edge of the area just before half-time.

The England international was also involved in Forest's equaliser, helping to ferry the ball to the right where Ryan Yates floated it in for Morgan Gibbs-White to head home.

Once Forest were in front, Anderson worked tirelessly to keep United at bay.

The way he maintained his discipline - with and without the ball - to not stray out of position was impressive. He was also not scared of a tactical foul as he brought down Bruno Fernandes late in the game, close to the halfway line, as the visiting captain threatened a dangerous counter-attack.

Anderson might have won it at the end for the home side, but his shot hit Luke Shaw and flashed wide.

Nottingham Forest boss Sean Dyche has been speaking to Sky Sports about the controversial corner that led to Manchester United's first goal: "It's not inconclusive, I've seen it back. That's two decisions that are incorrect that have gone against us. They [the assistant referees] give corners that aren't corners. They gave one last week and one this week.

"It is a really poor decision that decides a lot. We are fighting for our lives to get up the table."

Nottingham Forest captain Morgan Gibbs-White has also been speaking to Sky Sports about the result: "It is good to get a point, but the dressing room is frustrated to not get all three [points]. We conceded two silly corners, and I don't think the first one was even a corner.

"From where I was standing, I was pretty far away, but all the boys were saying at half-time that the ball hadn't gone out. It is something that needs looking at because it has cost us two extra points today.

"It is time to kick on. We need to start getting more points."

Did you know?

• Sean Dyche has only won one of his 19 Premier League matches against Manchester United (D6 L12). Only against Manchester City (0.33) does he have a lower points-per-game ratio in the competition than against the Red Devils (0.47).

• Nottingham Forest have conceded 16 Premier League goals from set pieces (excluding penalties) this year - the most of any team in the competition in 2025.
