We conceded the 2nd, 3rd and 4th in 6 minutes, so not really time to change anything at 0-2, it all happened so fast.

Yeah I get that it was quick but we should have reacted quicker. Sub should have been getting ready when the second goes in, might not have stopped the third but it slows the game down.

It was absolutely obvious what was going to happen if we didn't make any changes....and it did.
 
I believe this is the same as last season and KLD has told Regis let’s experiment and find the wining team for next year . You can see there is always a plan ahead . I see these losses not as a lost chance but a chance to imprve some of the players like rigg and push on next year . Forest are not a bad team we hit them on the wrong day
Love your optimism

It felt like every single second ball went to a Forest player. There was a fair bit of luck there and they were also sharper. Bad combination.

The lack of our lads on the edge of the box for the 5th when the ball rebounded to there was shocking. It took ages for anybody to get there.

Sick as a chip we didn’t get at least one goal back.

Feel for the fans as it’s a **** result when the build up and atmosphere in the city was probably great beforehand.

Still a fantastic season. I hope we spot those warning signs tonight and shore ourselves up from now on. We looked ragged from early in the game.
 
We left before the 5th. What happened after the whistle cos at half time Xhaka and Mukiele were remonstrating with the east stand. I never boo but loads were to start with.

If thats the case more subs should have been made. Talbi and Mayenda deserved a chance 2nd half and Diarra should not have stayed on so long. Hes done feck all to justify the amount of minutes he's been getting.

I hope them rumours are true that he's getting interest from teams in Saudi.
 
Totally unacceptable standard. No way is this excusable. Slackers awaiting the world cup. Embarrassing. We are quick to take the mickey out of newcastle, but we then self inflict. Sub standard attitude.
 
One of the most disappointing performances I've ever sat through, from both the players and the manager.

You could see at 0-2 we were an absolute shambles but we changed nothing and conceded 2 more very poor goals. We had a window at 2 to change it but for whatever reason we stuck and it failed massively.

We cannot keep wasting our most creative player by sticking him on the left wing when we are so poor in the middle of the field. The number of times it breaks down through the middle through sloppy passes is ridiculous.

Embarrassing.
If your disappointed with this team and manager remind yourself of the last eight years and surely it will make it all feel better

I agree , the manager has one plan, and sticks to it, Diarra has been a catastrophe so far, and no idea why he did not change it at half time. interesting.
