I'm ambitious.

Not sure what about but as long as I'm ambitious then it's all good.

I get far less annoyed when I've just heard we've lost on the radio.

As we’ve found out many times,FP-it’s far worse when you travel away and waste time and money
watching absolute bilge with the players not interested.
I felt sorry for the poor sods at Brighton today.

Weirdly I never feel as bad when I'm there Cloughie. It may be that enduring the pain for a couple of hours with 3000 others helps. 😄

Writing this having made the trip to Brighton and back today...

Feeling completely deflated, haven't felt like this with Forest for a while. I look back to the Cooper In/Cooper Out arguments and it seemed to centre on the fact that Cooper had taken us as far as he could and we need to go on to the next level with Nuno. Well, if today's performance and current league position is the next level, it's pretty f**king abysmal.

It might have been the case that we'd got to the end of the road with Cooper, but have we seen a sufficient improvement since he left? We had a honeymoon period of 2 games and then we've regressed in 2024. I'm not calling for Nuno to go, I like the guy... but to leave the pace and talent on the bench today and not go after a wounded Brighton was unforgivable.

Some fans used to blame Worrall, others blamed Cooper, the way some fans (albeit a minority) rounded on these two men was shameful... they both might have reached their limits in football, but if we go back down to the Championship, I'd want both of them back, because at least I know they'd be fully passionate about the club.

I do not see a team that are fighting hard enough; if Luton beat Bournemouth, get a positive result against us and we get points deducted, it's a long way back. We've had some dodgy ref decisions, the FFP rules are unfair, but ultimately the players and manager need to shape up.

Apologies for the rant, but I fear we're sleepwalking into relegation. Of course, we can still turn it round, beat Luton and then come back to some winnable home games after the break, things start to look up, it just feels that we're a long way off the pace at the moment.

Totally agree, the starting line up was terrible - just bad tactics. My heart dropped when I saw the line up, the manager has got to get his act together. Wonder if out owner is starting to reget forcing Copper out yet because at this moment we are going down

I doubt he’s regretting sacking Cooper, he was clueless by the time he went. He maybe wondering if he went for the right man though.

FWIW that starting line up had me questioning Nuno’s sanity too.

The underlying mood for me is that I really love this club, but I don't like this club. I love Forest like it's a part of the family and it has the ability to change a day for me based on the outcome of a game day. It's an expensive passion at times, but it's a passion born of the heart.

That said, it don't half f***ing pinch sometimes supporting this club. It feels like we've drained the pool of everything special over the past two seasons and we're left with this husk of a club that looks like Forest but doesn't feel like it. I'm not going to go into the list of everything what is wrong but in all sorts of ways this season has been an absolute disaster and I can't wait for it to end one way or another.

I'm preparing myself mentally for a return to the Championship. I'm not one of these that values the Premierleague at all costs, to be honest. I think we've lost a lot of what makes our club special this year and I wouldn't want another season like this, if we do stay up. I just want us to be competitive and not basically have to assume the position for teams. VAR does my f***ing head in as well, just gives us a bunch more excuses to hide behind.

Relegation obviously brings its own challenges but I just don't see us building foundations for sustained improvement if we stay up, it's just going to be more grasping at straws.

It's like that famous song.

We had it all (under Cooper), and then ambition got in the way.

Fair play to Nuno, it took Cooper 15 months of Premier League football with Forest to look clueless where based on that team selection Nuno looks to have managed it in 3.

This should cheer everyone up... a while ago I did my forecast for the 6 teams and us for the remainder of the season.
Even after the weekend's results (most of which I got right, by the way, including no points for Forest at Brighton) my own miserable predictions have us stopping up: Forest on 33 points to finish above Palace and Luton. SUFC, Burnley & Everton to go down.
Who says I'm a doom-monger?

Gloomy.

No good wishing for Coops, he was looking clueless when he went.

Nuno hasn't lived up to his promise.

Not much else going on round the club to lift the gloom.

It's hard work at the moment.

Don't worry guys whatever happens happens, we all love forest but remember it won't actually change your personal life if we stay up or go down. One positive is the officials seem better in the championship. The hype of the premier league is slowly burning out now.

You're quite right. I had a couple of days on the allotment and in the garden and it made me feel so good. Chuffed to little mint balls.
