Brian McDermott reflects on the Forest game...

Brian McDermott was lamenting the loss of two early goals after his side failed to make it three straight wins, against Nottingham Forest on Monday.

Two Matt Derbyshire goals inside the opening 20 minutes gave Forest the upper hand, and despite dominating possession in the game, United were unable to find a route back.

“It summed up the last three months of our season in some respects,” said the boss.

“We gave away a couple of goals early on, then had a lot of possession, but didn’t really hurt them.

“They were well organised and we couldn’t break them down. We have to be better than that. We had to stay in the game and we didn’t do that.

“We have to play a lot better than we did in the first half. We’ve done it in the last couple of games and kept two clean sheets, but we didn’t do it on Monday.”
