The unhappy dressing room stories seem to be gaining momentum on here. As they say there's no smoke without fire.

[Albion] Nottingham Forest vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***
- Thread starter Dick Head
- Start date
So does that mean you can start any malicious rumour you fancy and there must be an element of truth in it?? Who are “they”?
Ps - I’d hope there was an unhappy dressing room after last week and this
I thought the referee was also really poor today. I didn't think he should have given a penalty for a bit of wrestling in the box, I've seen the exact same thing with other corners and a penalty has not been given. Also, the sixth goal (I think it was, I lost count) was a handball in the build-up. He literally uses his two arms to steer the ball! Refereeing is really inconsistent and I believe the referee today was siding with Forest.
On the penalty the Forest player was just as guilty to start with as Lamptey. 6 of one half a dozen of the other.
I’m going to be forever livid that we should have only lost 6-0!

We generally, and genuinely, like Forest on here.so magnanimous of you, thanks personally and from the decent Forest fans who realise we’re having a purple patch, today was our day and you’ll have yours soon I’m certain, hope the travelling Albion were made to feel welcome at City Ground.

Hooper hates us so no surprise
Should have been 5 ... The forest player handled it about 3x for one of their other goals.
How do we KEEP getting hooper?!?
Might as well get him out of the way on a game we would have lost anyway. 5-0 7-0 doesn’t really matter. 0-1 2-1 and we’d be fuming.
Think 7 does matter as it's now our worst defeat for 60 years but I get your point

And first up on on MOTD tonight. 
Oh for the days when we complained about being last on.

We were dreadful today but it was a bit of a perfect storm. Absolutely nothing went our way. Everything that could go wrong did go wrong. Hardly anything to shout about but about 3 or 4 nil would have been a fair reflection.

Two lines of 4 pulled completely out of shape trying to help out Jack H.
If anyone is happy after results like today I'd be more concerned.
Pre-game, rather than post.

But we all love a good “they say…” (lights dim, and a hush ensues across the pub as Farmer John recounts strange goings on up at the Manor)

Not only that, but I'm convinced we should have had a penalty. If that was anywhere else on the pitch, its a foul. Welbeck was in control and got clattered in to.
With that, the softest penalty we will see all season and the double handball goal, "only" 5-1 seems a fair reflection.

Yes, really weird that. When the pre-match presser was recorded on Thursday morning, Baleba and Ayari were both fine. But when they came to board the team bus at 1pm on Friday, they both had developed “minor muscle injuries”, which is so coincidental and unfortunate isn’t it? So unlucky, blimey. When it rains it pours.
Or, 3 players disciplined in 8 days, resulting in two dreadful defeats, might mean something just marginally different than “minor muscle injuries”. I wonder what on Earth it could be.
Looked like it at the time, but Danny actually (accidentally) smacked the back of his head into the defender's face when watching the replays of it.
