We are absolutely terrible at scoring goals. That is why Nottingham Forest are 3-0 up; they are simply more clinical and have a better defence. I’ll be surprised if we score one, let alone three!
I guess it's because we actually have to score goals. Whereas our opponents generally get given them!

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.
That confident you put £10 on to win £12 or £13 back !
That is confidence 🥱

No ? You are obviously npt watching this.
Although, in fairness, the matches at Old Trafford and Portman Road suggested there might be a few cracks 🤣

It's a hard lesson for us today. Notts taking their chances and we aren't. Could have been 3-2. Other than scoring 4 goals 2nd half what else can we do. Who do we bring on to change the game.

This season is done. Play reserves vs Chelsea, it won't matter, save the starters for the cup. It still probably won't matter.

No point sacking Fab. But if there aren't any green shoots showing by the end of the season, Tony should really have a good think about the manager situation.

Lamptey has (as always) looked promising going forward, but a liability defensively. Dunk’s OG was just unfortunate, but bad luck seems to have been part of his game recently.

I expected this match to be a loss, I didn’t expect it to be quite this emphatic. They’ve been skilful, but we’ve helped them.

I’m not going to pile on the manager, I don’t believe he’s playing the players or formation he wanted to play, if fit Baleba and Ayari would be present. I believe circumstances have forced this lineup as the best he can do with the tools available. I agree with those who say our squad is unbalanced. It is.

Steph blames Dunk. Brave, prepared to be hated on nsc forever.

Tony has proved himself to be ruthless if he feels the manager needs changing.

The guy is clueless! Looks like the team have given up on him!
Tactically inept!
I’m getting this vibe too. I’m not sure that the players respect him and it’s really showing today. There’s no fight or belief in his tactics. The defence are almost like ‘ well if there’s no midfield to protect us what do you expect’.
He had options today in that ORiley and Gomez could have played alongside Hinshelwood, but no he goes for a 1 man midfield instead.
And now he puts two midfielders on.
