It really is a shocker, more shocking is apparently Brentford have lost 28 from winning positions!

Hope that continues, and they go down.. Might stop Thomas Frank from smiling but won't stop him from blaming everyone else but him or his team

There are so many utterly wank teams in the league this year it's so depressing that a points deduction may result in us finishing below them all.

Brentford, us, Everton, Palace & the bottom 3 are all bloody SHITE. And I mean SHITE. How Brentford are still getting plaudits yet lose to Burnley & are only one point above us boggles my mind.

We'd have a good chance of being the least shite out of them if we weren't due a points deduction.

The problem Cooper had which Nuno doesn't (and probably won't) is that he was more popular than the owner.

With 10 minutes to go, I had to nip across town for something. I had a quick look at the league table as it was then, and we were above Brentford and Everton. Fingers crossed we can keep it at 0-1, even though I know we always concede late, but can't be every time - law of averages and all that. Jumps in car, start up, stick 5 Live on "...and to Kenilworth Rd where there's been a goal... Really didn't need to hear the rest to know that Luton had equalised, knew in my heart what they were going to say. It's the hope that...... etc etc.

I honestly don’t understand how we can be so bad at defending set pieces. It’s literally one of the basics of football at any level and for a Premier League team to be as bad as we are almost defies belief. The worst thing about it is the fact that it should be the easiest thing in football to work on and fix. I just do not understand what they are doing in training to figure out what everyone can see is our biggest issue. There is obviously the fact that Premier League teams (other than us) are decent at set pieces but even so, setting up to defend them consistently should be one of the more straightforward things to get right. It’s as basic as ‘man each’ and we don’t even do that, there’s always a spare man unmarked in our box to pop it at goal.

We’ve conceded 51 goals this year and 40% of them have come from set pieces. FORTY PERCENT OF THE GOALS WE‘VE CONCEDED ARE FROM SET PIECES. Shambolic, my daughter’s under 9’s team are better than that. If it ultimately sends us down we absolutely deserve it, it should have been fixed months ago, there’s no excuse.

All that said, assuming our deduction is 4 points or less (which I think it will be) we remain favourites to stay up. Sort it out Forest, it’s entirely in our hands. The fans want it, show us you do too and have some pride in the basics of football like defending set pieces. No excuses.

We usually sit too deep so this more or less takes the goalkeeper out and we don't attack the ball.

It beggars belief.

Defend set pieces well & we'd be fine.

It doesn't help that Murillo struggles so much with corners & free kicks. Doesn't know what to do- as this comes with experience - despite his natural ability in open play. Stick Niakhate back there with Boly.

But some people have been saying precisely that we should be walking over teams like Luton.

Its not entitlement dude, cmon.

We should be better than what were showing, surely you can see that?

Weve not improved one iota this season, and for me, thats not good enough. Whats the point in being here if we cant at leaat hope to improve a little bit each season?

Absolutely not entitlement.
