Hard to defend Hughton at present, the only mitigating circumstances are the covid outbreak that has put us back 2 weeks and that he appears to have been sold down the river and not supported with signings, which we are desperate for - others know that, so prices now jump!
I know we had to cut the wage bill and that we don't want to sign another tranche of 30+ journeymen, but the actual basics of football are missing too.
Fullbacks guilty of taking throw ins that don't go within 5 metres of a Forest player, quick free kicks putting others in danger, lumping the ball forward to strikers that are never going to beat monster centrehalves in the air, poor marking from set pieces and complete inadequacy when it comes to substitutions.
Johnson had an off day, but Mighten taken off instead - Colback, a red card in waiting left on the pitch for at least 10 mins too long, putting us under pressure, multiple free kicks conceded and they go 2-1..... clearly helped by Bryce Samba.
