Absolute nonsense. We don't play decent possession football any more and that's on him. The players are not being developed, and that's on him. Bloom wants us in Europe, without a doubt. They've made a mistake. With hindsight, the combination of raw young talent with a raw young manager is proving disastrous. Even a pretty average PL boss would do just as well with this squad, there's a lot of talent. What's lacking is a leader that commands respect.
I agree. The quality of our football has sunk very quickly. Just good players meaning that we’ve won a few games. It’s on the manager.

Noticeable at the end that for a while only Mitoma came close to us in the stands and stood on his own looking back at the other players once or twice, then it was Veltman who led those who came over to us and Dunk was already on his way back to the dressing room. Didn’t see Hurzeler. Not a great feeling of unity or responsibility overall and if there’s any positivity it’s the hope of a reaction against Chelsea.

Just far enough away from LDC
I'm not saying it was a decent performance, but I've seen us play far worse than that and actually win games.
It all went Forest's way, today - they were clinical in their finishing. Do you think their fans were calling for the head of Nuno, after last weeks 5 - 0 drubbing by Bournemouth? Nope....they came back and thumped us by 7.
Do I blame FH? Nope.
If it became a regular thing, then yes....but it isn't, is it? Up until the Everton match, only Liverpool and the Arse had lost fewer matches.
Keep yer hair on. :)
Last week, Bournemouth scored well crafted built up goals. Today there were at least 4 possibly 5 which we all but handed to them. The og, the 3rd, the 4th, the 5th and the 7th

When have we played worse than today and won? 🤷🏻‍♂️ We have played more boring but not worse and won imo?

These injuries keep appearing after/before games. Hardly any have gone off during the game wtf is going on.
At least half of those above Hinsh, Ferdi and Igor were in-game with the players coming off. Pedro and O'Riley too earlier this year. We've just be f***ing unlucky this season, even worse than last.

One thing you don't do as a manager, have no connection with the fans.

Shocking from FH, fans are the cornerstone of the game, poor buggers have to travel to nottingham and for that shower of s performance to then travel all the way back.

And the sixth they 'handed' to themselves!

So, basically - they scored one good goal. (although even that could have been defended better).

listen to his pre match interview on radio sussex, 24 minutes in, straight from the horses mouth https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0kjrsdq
if you think the club (Bloom and Barber) haven't been in on this decision of how to play you are delusional.

That was a complete and utter shameful humiliation. Nobody emerges with any credit.

Injuries we may have (but why so many ?) but that midfield set up by Hurzeler was absolutely idiotic. He is starting to skate on thin ice now, sadly. There is being brave and there is being completely foolish.

But the team gave up as well. Something is going wrong somewhere and the odd victory over Man Utd can't disguise that.

Still can't see TB pulling the trigger 6 months into a 3/4 yr deal.

Think he gives him next year with funds this summer, which will be a bad idea imo.

Haven’t seen a post match interview but if he makes/made reference to ”trust the process” I hope he gets sacked on the spot :lolol:

Unfortunately things have the same feels as the second half of last season when RDZ wanted out. Rumours of players not happy , injuries piling up and a string of very poor performances. Oh well. :shrug:

I'd be interested to hear why that happened today, maybe all the players are ill or something like that, because it was almost too bad to be true.
It is one of those days where you wonder if there's more to it. Early reports of both CMs having ilness, which is a more-than-credible reason for 2 players droppping out last minute, and when their omission is confirmed, it's described as a muscle injury by the manager. Why wouldn't he just say they're ill?
