Here are some of your comments:
Forest fans
James: We were lucky to win that. Not denying the goal, it was amazing from MGW, but the rest was pretty uneventful. But a win is a win, and it helps our chances of Champions League.
Becca: Disciplined and cultured from Forest. This was a game where nerves could've got the better of us, but we never looked in danger of conceding thanks to another excellent display from (arguably) the best full-back pairing in the League! What a season this is turning out to be! The assist from MGW wasn't bad either! COYR
Pete: People moaning about a dull game miss the point. A team costing a fraction of the amount of another team played to their strengths. Sometimes it has to be like chess. Don't like it - go shopping instead.
Man City fans
Simon: Another toothless display from City, which sums up the whole season. Loads of possession and no end product. One of the greatest strikers ever and we rarely get the ball to him.
Jeff: I feel this was the worst performance of our season so far. We fielded a strong XI who had no need to recover from Champion's League fatigue due to earlier capitulations. Forest were there for the taking but our well paid senior pros failed to deliver once again.
AB: The current City team reminds me a lot of the 2018 World Cup Spanish team - toothless, outdated tiki-taka and aimless passing.

Image source, Getty ImagesManchester City are used to challenging for Premier League and Champions League honours at this stage of the season, but there is a very real danger of Pep Guardiola's side missing out on a place in Europe's premier club competition next season.
They dominated possession at the City Ground and created the only opportunities of a drab first half, but neither Erling Haaland nor Nico Gonzalez were able to find a way past Nottingham Forest goalkeeper Matz Sels.
Guardiola was growing increasingly frustrated with his team's lack of guile in the final third, but there was little improvement from the visitors in the second half and the closest they came to scoring was through Mateo Kovacic in added time - eight minutes after Callum Hudson-Odoi had squeezed a shot past Ederson to win the game for Forest.
City can have few complaints with the outcome as they slipped to a ninth league defeat of a tumultuous season - their joint-most in a single campaign under Guardiola.
This was also the fifth time City have failed to score in a top-flight game this season - their worst tally under Guardiola since 2016-17.
Image source, Getty ImagesPep Guardiola spoke to BBC Match of the Day after Manchester City's defeat against Nottingham Forest: "Tight game, we controlled the long balls to [Chris] Wood and second balls in transition. But in second half we lost once in transition and Callum Hudson-Odoi finished it really well.
"It is not easy to play against them. That is why they are where they are. We had three or four chances in the first half. Second half it was a bit more tight. We concede one chance in the near post, so in the end the balance was for them."
On the pace of City's play in the second half, Guardiola added: "Yes it was slow. We struggled to break the lines and find spaces."

This is a big game in the race for the Champions League places, and a tough one to call.
Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola rested a few players for last weekend's FA Cup win over Plymouth and Erling Haaland is fit again.
Nottingham Forest are at home, but their fans don't mind them sitting in and hitting teams on the break, which is what they will do here.
It wasn't so long ago people were lauding Forest, but they have not won in the Premier League since beating Brighton 7-0 on 1 February.
I don't think there is too much wrong with Nuno Espirito Santo's team, though. They are still in the FA Cup and, in the league, they have lost narrowly away to Fulham and Newcastle and then they drew with Arsenal, which seemed a decent result to me.
I had a look at Forest's remaining 11 league games and, in the reverse fixtures this season, they have won nine, drawn one and lost one.
That shows that if they keep their squad fit and available then they have got a great chance of a top-five finish, which will probably get them in the Champions League.
Their one defeat in that sequence above actually came when they were well beaten by Manchester City at the start of December.
It will be much closer this time but, although I hate to go against my boyhood club, I still fancy City to nick the points.
Sutton's prediction: 1-2
Simon Stone

This is an unusual end to the season for Manchester City.
Normally at this time, they would be juggling Premier League title and Champions League demands, usually with an FA Cup campaign thrown in as well.
This season, they are still in the FA Cup but have just had a blank midweek due to their European defeat by Real Madrid and are in a reasonably positive position when it comes to qualifying for next season's Champions League, especially as five English teams are almost certain to qualify.
There is still the Club World Cup to come in June and July but now it seems we are on a slow run to the end of the season.
Manager Pep Guardiola doesn't quite see it that way.
"Pressure is always there at big clubs," he said. "You do your best, it doesn't matter what you are playing for.
"We accept the reality to try to finish in the top four."

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has been speaking to the media before Saturday's Premier League game against Nottingham Forest (kick-off 12:30 GMT).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
Defender Nathan Ake is expected to be side lined after his foot surgery for 10-11 weeks. Guardiola added: "When you have surgery it's serious. He has struggled a lot this season with the problems in his feet."
He confirmed a "central defender form the academy has come to train with us" because of the ongoing injury crisis to the back line.
He said they have "had more time to rest and train more" in their seven day game absence, which is "absolutely" beneficial for his team.
On Jack Grealish catching attention again this week at a social club: "He's so famous. People follow him. I have nothing to comment."
He said the pressure on him and the team "is different" now to any in the previous seasons but that is because pressure is always there in big clubs.
Guardiola added: "You have to pressure yourself to do your best no matter what you're playing for."
On opponents Forest: "It is quite simple. When you're third in the table with 11 games left it is because you have done really, really well. It's impressive. They defend really well, are compact and aggressive."
When asked how big of a threat they are to a top four finish: "There are many different clubs fighting for this target. Everyone wants to be in the Champions League next season for many reasons. If it doesn't happen then it's because we haven't been good enough and the other teams deserve it."
