I worked in Nottingham for about 4 years and always made the effort to mention Notts Forest and Nottingham County to piss my colleagues off.
If only there was a way we could play against Championship teams all season.
Hmm. That's the Notts Forest model...
Give it 12 months and your wish may be granted!
1-2 now. I thought our team was mid table Championship level, it's far worse.
For a few minutes I thought it was the end of days, what with the second Cummings and all.
So we're a defensive team that can't defend...
Can't even beat a Mickey Mouse team in a Mickey Mouse cup!
So yea, cant beat a mid table championship side. were going down...
Oh dear. Losing to Forest reserves at home doesn't bode well.
Rafa's inability to change tactics or try something different is frustrating, we don't have the players to play like he wants us to, but he tries to do it continuously anyway.
Pardew's inability to change tactics or try something different is frustrating, we don't have the players to play like he wants us to, but he tries to do it continuously anyway.
Sound familiar?

Tough to compete with the likes of Nottingham Forest. I can't, and I won't.#nufc
We are seriously, absolute gash. Sure we've made 10 changes, they've made 6 though. Same pathetic laboured counter attack style. Yawn ourselves to defeat.
You make it sound as if this is ****ter than our usual team!
This is surreal. Utterly surreal.
Sadly it is just utterly real (and familiar)
TBF They have played well.
Oh well, Forest got Chelsea away in the next round so they're out anyway! We saved ourselves having to play a game that we'd definitely lose a anyway.
He's brought in 16 players since last summer for £90mish, most of them 'squad fillers' as opposed to superstars, why aren't the squad players good enough to beat a low-spending Championship side? Because half of them are absolutely shite. That's not Ashley's fault.
Darlow looked terrible.
No excuse for picking that rotten XI tbf.
That rotten XI probably could buy five teams made up of Forest players.
Really awful that. So many poor displays, Forest passed the ball so easily around us. They looked knackered in the 2nd half but we didn't make it count but then they found something extra again.
Hanley was absolutely appalling. Forest's game plan first half was to play it down the side of him because they know he can't run.
That first goal by them! Talk about standing off them and letting them waltz in, nuts man. Surprised the guy who put the cross in didn't go into semi shock from being left that alone by a premier league side in their own area.
We deserved to win in 90 minutes but there's just no cutting edge in this squad, and that's always going to be a problem.
My God we did not deserve to win that game at all like. Not in any time.
S*** first half , alreet second. Got beat off an absolute pile of w*** so what does that make us?
Rafa himself "“Everybody was expecting that we have to beat Nottingham Forest, but at the same time they’re doing well in the league and they have confidence – the game though was more or less as we were expecting.
“They could pass the ball, they could move the ball, but we had the chances.
“I don’t remember too many saves from Darlow and I remember a lot of chances that we didn’t take.
“Because you play two days ago and you have to play two days after, at this stage of the season, the players have to be ready for playing in the cup against a Championship team."
