Stoke v Forest, pushing it uphill.

[Southern red]

Second to every ball/header
Zero breaking at pace
Zero guile or belief

this is a coaching problem as we know on the whole we have capable players to be competitive

 

[Pope John XXIII]

Ok, so in 2004-5, the season we went down to league one, this is where we were at the same stage of the season


We are two points and EIGHT GOALS short of the side that was relegated from the championship with a game still to go.

This side looks worse than that side. It honestly does. I can't even imagine how long it will take this side to get 22 goals

 

[Southern red]

Can't blame samba when your captain dummies a header 1 yard from the goal, quite incredible stuff.

He’s fucking dogshit

he never commands his area and rarely comes for crosses and sits on his line

 

[Southern red]

I agree but it's miles from being the worst on paper. I can't take this for the rest of the season, something has to change.

Which would suggest coaching problem/attitude problem ?

True but that was almost entirely Grabban. Fig nearly put in his own goal then lucky it was off side.

I’m with you on this one - Samba has been poor this season, but fans have turned on him so much that everything is becoming his fault. Him and Figueirido have both been dire (this season), but they haven’t been the worst culprits today.

Hughton inspires nothing . This surely must be amongst the worst starts for a forest manager.

Rumours karanka is on thin ice at brum already

 

[Pope John XXIII]

This could be the worst forest team I have ever seen. Not exaggerating

It is.

Easily worse than the relegation side.

I honestly can't fathom how this side has won four games. I can't imagine how they will win any more.

 

[Southern red]

We lose the midfield every bloody game and yet CH does nothing game after game to change it...

We therefore resort to huge punts into an area we never attack...fucking shambles

 

[mr ron]

Watching that again samba would have had to do something incredible to react and keep that out, grabban really screwed him and us over.

 

[Banter Central]

How have we got here? Can anyone explain? Serious question.

Hughton is exactly the kind of manager we were clammering for, of a calibre many of us thought we wouldn’t get. And yet this football is some of the worst I’ve seen in 20 years as a Forest fan. I watch this and I’m reminded, somehow, of the Megson era.

If we go down, I can see us doing a Portsmouth and spending a fair whack of time in League 2. It feels like it’s going to get worse before it gets any better...

 

[Pope John XXIII]

Will we be both the first and the second European champions to be relegated to their third tier?

 

[Southern red]

Ref is letting sow take some kicks

 

[Woanz]

Sheep, Wednesday & Wycombe all winning.


He’s got to go.

 

[mr ron]

Will he make a change at half time, I fookin doubt it.

Ipswich?

 

[Pope John XXIII]

No chance. He'll wait for Stoke to score their second

 

[weejockmcplop]

My TV has taken so much abuse tonight.

 

[Skip_4]

Anyone else sat thinking about how we could stop the rot rather than watching the game?

Knockaert and Lolley should be smashing this league but have been piss poor. Grabban and Freeman have been poor or injured. Bach died from a hamstring tweak.

If CH insists on seeing out another loss without trying something then he can go for me. Fuck it.

 

[Mappred]

They’ve all been shit, but Ryan Yates is another level of shit.
