• How many away goals do we have to score to protect against defensive lapses?
• Is the diminishing defensive prowess down to St Ledger? Can he co-exist w/ Wheater, or any of our centre-backs?
• The illustrative nature of the kit cock-up – a pretty damning picture of the dearth of focus and direction at multiple levels within the club
• Kitson was a revelation against Posh, and he’s desperately the type of commanding up-front presence we need, but have we forgotten that he’s relatively adamant his stay on Teesside is temporary

We missed the match – only the second in 4 years that couldn’t be followed in some live shape due to transit logistics – but caught up via the live blog. Slightly sophomoric this time round…save the cheap gags for after-match celebrations. Don’t let it morph into the disorganized mess we witness on the pitch.

And to maintain journalistic concentration, belated notes from the Forest draw presented in a holiday-style sampler:

• Pogatetz was back – and pretty useful after just three weeks removed from the fractured cheekbone v Plymouth
• EARLY GOAL!! – Arca pushed forward from the right, was spoon-fed by Johnno, shaped a shot palmed away by Lee Camp, tucked away by Leroy Lita
• Bright start for Boro, but Forest persevered and started to control the match – Jonesey made a string of decent saves to close the half
• Dave Kitson: Ginger Ninj-er!
• Forest level through a routine Rob Earnshaw free kick – poor
• AV eagle-eye view: ‘Forest look fitter, faster, and more up for it’
• Fortunate to get a point frankly – Forest dominated for long spells later on, we lost any attacking creativity…the fitness/focus concerns are alarming
