    Yes, but you can't blame a loss on players who aren't playing.

    Just checked their previous loss against Chelsea. Same thing. Only two new players starting.

    EDIT: And against Palace three.

    Don't you wish Southampton could have a hangover effect from the winning the title?

    Does anyone else find the seemingly imminent appointment of Dyche at Forest extremely odd? I just don't see how he take the club forwards.

    Yeah bit early. If it was January I get it. They have such a good squad, think they can afford to be a bit bolder with their management choice.

    Bet Dyche is just the cheap option.

    He'll ensure they don't go down. They'll probably change again in Summer.

    Going from Nuno to Dyche in the matter of 6 weeks is daft though.

    I dunno, changing manager three times in a season usually works really well :bandit:

    Makes a bit of sense to me. Nuno was low block & counter. Post was totally the opposite & wrong for their squad. Dyche is more like Nuno so I think at least he’ll stabilise & keep them up.

    Yeah that's how I see it. Forest correcting their mistake of trying to dramatically change style mid season.

    It was stupid unsettling Nuno. This aeasom should have been very enjoyable for Forest fans. Instead , Europe is a distraction to a relegation campaign.

    Brentford doing a solid Saints impression against West Ham, and missing a hatful of easy chances.

    Except they haven't taken their foot off the gas or pointlessly playing around at the back. They're being direct and effective. 2 things we are not.

    A manager bringing 3 defenders on at HT surely must be a first.

    Sorry, I forgot we’re the worst team in the world and must never be compared to anyone else. (The Brentford xG is half what ours was).

    West Ham really are a mess though. Showing as well that false 9 might not be the best idea.
