    Reasons to be cheerful

    Okay, didn't see it at all because I'm about 3000 miles away but...
    1. We didn't lose.
    2. We fought back after a bad, confidence sapping start.
    3. We conceded yet another ridiculously late goal.
    Yes I know the last one seems odd but at least it means Gary Rowett isn't seen as some sort of quick fix...a magical panacea for all our ills. Our ability to concede last minute goals and lose ***** points has been a problem all season and has cost us a top six place at least. It suggests a lack of 'bottle' and leadership...no knowledge of how to see a match out. Now the new manager has first hand and painful experience of this problem he is more likely to recognise the need to address it and as long as that's done by the beginning of next season that can only be a good thing imo.

    Burton had a real good chance, to go 4 points clear of the relegation zone but as usual, same old Nigel makes too many substitutions and changed the balance that played into Brentford's hands.

    We have now got a week to reflect on improvements for the next match against QPR, during the International break, so it gives Rowett time to settle down and take things into perspective.

    Having calmed down from the disappointment of conceding (Again!) I'm optimistic with that 2nd half performance. That's the first time in ages we've put bodies on the line (they should have been 2 up before half time) and that's the first time all season we've attacked at pace, we did go for the killer 3rd but it didn't come (down to their goalie) and we sat back late on which is understandable away from home. Rowett got a reaction from them and for that I'm positive.

    And I love the fact he's wound up a few of there lot with his ref comments, I like it when a manager blames the ref, it deflects the attention a little. Rowett's black and white army!!!!

    Apparently some of them lot were calling for Warburton's head when they didn't agree with a substitution, fickle or frigging what and they were leaving the ground with 15 mind to play, great support for your new manager, I'll give him 6 months

    They were booing him, for subbing Clough and replacing him with McCormack but they managed to nick out a draw in the dying stages. Forest are not out of the scrap yet, the Red Dogs were feeling the pressure and you could sense that from the boo's they gave. They had a "Great Escape" today but they have got some tough away fixtures that will really test them on their survival skills.
