Oh and last one - huge pressure on the palace Fulham games now: we needed 7 points from this run of four, or at least two wins... we still need those.

Fulham should be an easy three points, bet they're getting stuffed by spurs as I type, and while I can't remember the score at their place I bet we did well...

Shit result.

Listened to it and it all sounded under control, as much as can be eith a single goal lead. Strange subs though Nuno !!

Let's keep positive though my fellow fans!! We didn't lose, it is all to play for.

Bottom of the league games are frequently harder due to their scrappy nature.

We can do this, no wrist slashing required yet !!

The biggest difference is the fans ??. Not sure I understand your point...

On paper we should be walking over teams like Luton....

There's my point. At no point last season was anyone saying we should be walking over teams. That newly found entitled mindset.

We haven't once been in the bottom three this season.

Just frustrating. You have to credit Luton for staying in the game - they always keep going right the end and it shows with the amount of late goals they score but f***ing hell, we've basically thrown away both games against them this season.

Just feels like somethings not been quite right since the news of an FFP charge was first mooted after an excellent win against Man Utd. Since then, I think we've only won one league game and has basically left ourselves open for the points penalty to sink us.

In normal circumstances losing the win in the last few minutes would have still stung, but it'd have been a point away from home and kept Luton at arms length. But with a deduction looming, we've basically missed a huge chance to have some sort of buffer.

I can't stress this point enough and somehow the general fanbase didn't receive the news...

Nuno....decided early on that we would not use Simon Rusk and that he trusted his coaches more to take care of set pieces. Simon Rusk is employed by us yet does not have a job to do because of Nunos decision.

Set pieces are on Nuno Espirito Santo. Despite the fact that in the little time in between Coops having Rusk appointed and Nuno coming in, the players were really enjoying working with him and seeing results.

Its on Nuno Espirito Santo.
So what is Simon Rusk being paid to do?

Toffs and Neco should be taking corners - put MGW as a short option and Sangare or Dominguez at the top of the box and keep Murillo back as cover
While I appreciate there are currently no other options, I wouldn't even have Toffs on the pitch - not good enough at this level.

Which reminds me - hopefully we have some competition for his spot after the international break; he's leading something of a charmed life at the minute.

Newly found entitled mindset. It's going nothing to do with being entitled. We strengthened the team and brought in elanga, CHO and sangare amongst others since last season so I don't think it's unreasonable to expect a bit more from the team than what we are getting performance wise.

And sold our £47m attacker.

Entitled?

I think it's more down to complete and utter f***ing frustration. Here's a few reasons...

- Nothing has been learnt about set pieces, whether its defending or attacking them. We are in the elite league and we are still no closer to even being remotely close to the same standards set by the rest of the league on this. We hired a coach for this and then chose not to use him and then continued in the same vein.. the f*** is that about?

- Every time we've had an attacking mindset in games we've gotten more from games, yet we seem to get more and more defensive and get even less. Shutting up shop when we had Luton on the ropes? Masterstroke that. I did not go into that game expecting us to win, we all knew we needed to though. But to have the game in our grasp and just surrender it is just frustrating and sad.

- Recruitment, you can tell which ones have been done by the staff we employ to find us decent players, they may not work out straight away but they come good, and the ones our owners are making? Why are they even signing people?

- Lack of professionalism off the pitch.. no water, no plans, lack of any kind of coherent strategy to improve anything.

It's not entitlement, its the f***ing basics.

plenty of better teams than Forest have struggled at Luton this season. We didn’t lose.
Precisely

Man City, Arsenal and Spurs could only manage narrow 1-0, 4-3 and 1-0 victories there and Liverpool only came away with a draw

Luton's goal difference for home games is only -4 compared to the -20 and -30 of Burnley and Sheffield Utd

Difficult place to visit is Kenilworth Road
