In a week in which he had already been hit with an £8,000 fine, Nottingham Forest boss Steve Cooper chose his words carefully.
From the City Ground crowd, and indeed from goalscorer Morgan Gibbs-White, however, there was no such diplomacy. Feelings (for that read downright frustrations, to put it politely) were made perfectly clear.
Gibbs-White argued the Reds were “cheated out of three points”. The fans had booed and jeered referee Andre Marriner and his officials - and if VAR Lee Mason had been in the vicinity, he would definitely have copped a load of that, too.
