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.

He's done nothing to deserve it at all mate, and in the meantime we have Talbi sat watching from the bench whos had a good first season in the Prem, and scored some cracking goals for us. I have no idea why he's hardly getting any minutes for us.
 
That result leaves us open to massive criticism. Just when we are trying to show that we have learned from our mistakes, we go and roll over like a **** amature team. We have no excuse not any right to criticise any other team .
Symbolic performance.
 
Nordi could see the tactics weren’t working at 1-0.
Why couldn’t RLB. First time I’ve really been disappointed with him.

Only using 2 subs is annoying
Yes there isn’t much they could have done but at it would have been something.

How annoyed will Talbi and Mayenda be?

also, we need a reaction against Wolves after last two games but honestly after that? Wolves will win unless shape, tactics and starting personal are changed.

Also also, teams are wising up to Brobbey. So maybe just maybe we need to start Wilson for last 4 games
 
Well I'm going to put that down as just one of those games.
Ok make that two of those games.
As mentioned earlier if we aren't at 100% then we tend to get beat. Just a 2 or 3% drop off leaves you open to games and results like this.

I think the players owe us a performance at Wolves and I think that we will get it.
Let's finish in the top 10
 
Trying to sleep but can’t.
Just so annoyed.
No effort at all, it’s like they are already on the beach for their hols or going to the WC.

Mass reaction and changes needed for the next 4 and in the summer

Brobbey is getting absolutely no decent service mind, and when he wins it there's usually nobody near him.

And if he does, gets fouled nothing given.

What do they do in training when it comes to shooting
 
Horrible game to sit through but credit to Forest they were immense all over the pitch. If they play like that every game next season they'll win the league by 20pts.

Going to try and forget about this one as quickly as possible, whisky might help.
Think I’m opening my first bottle of dram this year.

That’s good going in itself.
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.
Mate. There is no way you start making subs at that point, unless one player is stand out ****e/****ed.

Our approach and formation was all wrong. They were clinical as **** and we capitulated across the pitch.
The first was poor marking - sub off Hume?
The second was a gift - so you sub Roeffs off for that?
The third & 4th down to no-one on the back post, both times a massive gap - whose fault is that , Nordi?

Going forwards we never once looked clinical enough
It was also noticeable when we were recycling the ball pushing forwards they were cutting our passes off really well , and we started to think wtf.
As Reg says, our intensity dropped way off. Well said boss. Need to regroup and fix this next week
 
Whilst disappointing cant be too upset but can be rightly annoyed i suppose

Were staying up but which is the ultimate goal

Forest arent a bad team, European semi final and numerous 50m players and important a couple with x factor.

We started that game with two midfielders on the wing and a left back at right back, despite the Spurs win with the same team basically it's always going to be a challenge.

We like to try and play out but forest were really pressing and our unwillingness to play over the press and just persist was worrying, it was dodgy back there and that roefs mistake was coming. Stubborness from the gaffer.

We don't score enough goals because were built not to concede and be solid and we attack as a block. Bit ironic considering the score tonight but we ve got no x factor or flair so chance creation nevermind scoring is a challenge.

Lack of this isnt helped but the crazy willingness to over play, Jesus and MGW hit there shots first time, our lads would play a pass.

Also corners, get some lads on the half way line, everyone back in the box just inviting pressure. Put 2 up and make them have 3 back, we had no one stopping that first corner, amateur hour and packing the box is percentage ball.

Euro dream down to smallest of chances but have to beat Wolves and we'll be flat as a fart.

It's a big summer because we need that xfactor, we can't just keep this side and that isnt bed wetting, you just cant sit still or people will catch you.

Theres an odd chancxe forest and leeds finish above us considering our remaining games.

Anyway, ****e tonight.

Boils my piss. Just hit the ****ing thing first time and practice doing it. They’ll start going in

Diarra is not looking a great fit at the moment though, he’s not calm enough,. Also means displacing other players from more natural positions. Ie talbi out left, le fee in the middle.

Anyway. Who’d be a fecking coach/manger
