Alf there was no hidden agenda in my post. I'm as pissed off as the rest of you. But exaggerating our record doesn't help anyone.

Sangare had a decent game. First half he was dogged, got plenty of blocks and challenges in and he disrupted momentum for them on a number of occasions. He faded second half but he's barely had any 90 mins at all. I certainly didn't say a player that was uninterested or poor today.

We're just not very good. I really don't think we've progressed at all this season.

f***ing rubbish. Get yourself some perspective.
Have spent more or less my whole life watching forest in the championship and league one I can assure you there are a lot more than one single highlight being in the prem

Maybe we were spoiled with the identity provided by the promotion then then cohesive rally last term. The identity of promotion team will be remembered by all Forest fans that rode that wave. Ditto with staying up last year. We carved out a 'Forest way' particularly at home in the last few months of the season.
Recent performances (4 points from 21) is poor but what's more upsetting is the manner and lack of 'us' that we had previous terms. Guess FFP plays its role in that feeling but it just isn't as fun even though I don't think we've been in the bottom 3 this season (yet).

Sangare was decent and I would really enjoy seeing our regular shape with Dominguez instead of Yates.

Oh, you mean like when someone was exaggerating me pointing out the difference between a player who's 24 and one who's 26, down to a base "he'Ll tuRn aMaziNg OverNight wHen he turns 25, hurr hurr hurrr!"

It is because of cooper and Nuno, they're the managers they select the teams and tactics

I thought he was our worst player today.

Talking to Nuno is like talking to the Sphinx.... it's frustrating to hear him agree with what we all know is wrong, when what I want to hear is I'll be drilling the f*** out off the defence to stop these lapses... I'll be on the strikers and coaching them to finish better.... Taiwo out for unspecified time and assessing Wood and he says have have no strikers then why the f*** is Ribiero on the bench if you aren't prepared to risk him... feels like we're drifting

Feels like we need to go down and reset. Get a manager in who actually commits to dominating games. Look against better sides I understand you can’t dominate. However we don’t dominate anyone ever. It’s so poor for the quality of player we have. We have some genuine stars and we play like we are Sheffield United it’s embarrassing really. We’ve broken rules to play football like this. It’s so depressing and I really want the board to be sacked to be honest. It needs a total reset.

There's a reason most teams have used Origi as a sub. It's been on my mind for a while because Nuno has been relying on him as a main man in the starting 11, and he's not scored a league goal for Forest in 15 games I believe?
Don't get me wrong, he's got a lot of good abilities such as dribbling, holding the ball up and his passing is inventive at times. But I can't see him scoring the goals to save Forest. At the same time, it would be good if the central midfielders could chip in with a few goals to help, too.

That's a fair point
In any event we may have no choice now but to play him and hope he finds his shooting boots if Wood is injured

We can’t score from set pieces and we can’t defend the f***ers either.
Apart from that we’re fine Captain Mainwaring.
It’s just so f***ing frustrating.

Well it’s a shootout between us and ‘2 points from 21’ Luton. FFP sanctions are of course a concern, but 2 points from 21? Come on Forest, it’s still all to play for.
(Granted, let’s not rule out Everton either)

The game was always likely to be decided by set pieces. MGW is a great player but his free kicks and corners are pathetic. His direct free kick on the edge of the area was pathetic. We'd be shitting ourselves if the opposition had that sort of chance against us. Give someone else a go FFS.

That’s the most disappointing thing for me-we’ve made zero improvement on last season.
Even if we do survive-we’ll need to be considerably better next year to avoid the drop.
They got half of those points against us.

Possession says we’ve improved quite a bit and in some areas we look capable of holding a prem position
Overall we’re a drawing team with the occasional win, a project with constant tweaks hoping to better the slightly worse team than ourselves. Results led of course but there is progress
Who the f*** is accepting this defensive bollox at this stage though? It’s outrageous

Luton have scored in their last 16 Premier League games so it was always highly likely that we would need more than 1 goal to win, yet I fail to comprehend what Nuno sees in our defence that makes him try to change to a defensive setup in order to protect a 0-1 lead. We got exactly what we deserved by inviting the pressure.

A draw is frustrating, but it isn't a disaster, but three points at home to Palace is an absolute must now. Number of points taken off us, if any, will be critical though. Everton and Brentford still in massive trouble too.

No it doesn't, we don't need to go down we don't need a reset thats the last thing we need. We need to stay up, We are not a million miles away from getting decent results. We've not been battered by anyone since Fulham, we usually lose by the odd goal. We miss guilt edged chances that would see our results reversed in our favour. Fine Margins. We've got 9 games to stay up, even if we improved our set pieces 10% at either end that would be enough to stay up.
