Nobody could have predicted this when they saw our midfield line up
First thing I saw this morning was the rumour of no Baleba or Ayari due to illness, so I put a £10 on a Forest win.

Easy money when you consider the next available midfielder is 19 year old that’s barely played this season due to injury.

I Can understand the difficulties Fabian has faced, it's his first full season in Charge in the Premiere league, he's a long way from Bundes 2.

And I for one will give him time to try and build the team in his image, but we look so so slow and sluggish man.

Pedro is a prime example, just strolling round the pitch doing nothing.

Very disappointing first half.

We haven't been that bad - had a few decent chances.

Defensively, for the goals at least, we have been very poor. There was 5 or so minutes where we were all over the place.

3-0 is probably a bit harsh.

I think today we have been guilty of not giving Forest enough respect. The table doesn't lie -they're very good at what they do, and they have punished us with their strengths.

Anyway, it's too late to change the game plan. We have to push on for an early goal in the second half, to open the door to a very unlikely come back.

We're gonna go at them in the second half. Who knows, stranger things have happened. My main worry is that they'll punish us again, and again, and it'll be an embarrassing scoreline. But we need to try.

Does this include his 100% relegation form in the second half of last season?

Actually yes. Even those were better than this, or not an awful lot worse, and at least we knew it’s because we hadn’t a big enough squad and so many were injured. What is this? We’ve been pretty poor all season tbh but lucky in picking up points anyway.

Weirdly, I don't think we've been awful. We've created chances, but not taken them. They've just been far more clinical.

Silly leg waggle from Dunk, poor from Verbruggen (again) for the second, and JP loses Wood. That's three individual errors. They've made none.

Brighton factually.....
I’m depressed right now, that was pretty awful.

i would like to see us, go for it in the second half, we might as well lose 7-3,
Although we all know Forest will sit back and waste time, wait for a sloppy side ways pass and hit us on the break.

I can’t see many extra tickets been shifted for the Chelsea cup game, if folks are watching this and on the fence about going.

Every slice of luck is going Forest’s way today. Depressing watch but I am not blaming FH, that’s the easy option

Match commentators don’t agree with me though, they think we have been shite

Turn it in, this isn’t on Pedro, he’s been up and down the pitch causing them problems. You can’t give Hurzeler a free pass when he’s picking as shite a lineup as this, the formation is just horrific.
