Going to add my two penneth to last nights game like it or not some of you, apart from first ten minutes and scoring two very good goals, we were terrible, with a goal scorer in there side they would probably have gone and beaten us, according to reports this morning fofana has now refused to come to us, can you blame him?. I believe that at this moment we are aiming far to high going after this type of player, great to see don't get me wrong, but the rest of the squad are way behind that standard, hence these type of players won't lower there standard's and come to Forest. It stood out a mile last night that our three centre backs, left back, midfield, even johno on last nights performance simply weren't good enough, and god help us if Awonyi gets injured again, Elanga made Johnson look like a snail when he came on. We have to find better players to fill all these positions, before looking at Stella signing's, get this part right, THEN the Stella signings will i'm sure start to come, Worrell and McKenna looked like two clowns at times last night, never seen Danilo make so many back passes, that's not what I want to see from him, Williams ain't good enough on the left, MGW thinks he's god at the minute and can do everything, he needs bringing back down to earth, quickly. Can any of you tell me why we can outplay a team for 15 mins and then loose it and look so poor, all I was hoping for was a carry on from the second half at Arsenal, funny old game football I know, 3 point yes but, yuck what a bad performance.
Please just find us some better players than what we have now, or it's going to be another struggle this season.

I think we need to look at manager as much as keep blaming players.

Dream that is 100% the perfect analysis. Well written and observed ?.

Dream, I agree about the signings, I thought the same last night when reflecting on why no one wants to come, we’re aiming far too high.
We signed lingard (I think) last season to attract a few decent signings, had he have worked and we kept Navas it attracts bigger names - sad indictment but that’s the Premeier league for you.
I think we have to focus on staying in the league, we’re a club that has relegation credentials - doesn’t mean we are candidates - and it’s attitude that will keep us right. Last night I felt we there was a bit of a just turn up attitude, MGW seems to be trying to be something he isn’t - no thanks.
It’s quite probable the players we are being linked with is paper talk but either way - those players will not come to us, I’d think twice anyway because our record of players sustaining significant injuries would really worry me as a player.
Even chris wood in his interview last night tells us his injury - after a few weeks here- is the first serious injury of his career ……something not right here.
We need some Additional signings no doubt, I can’t quite grasp why we didn’t sign Hamar, looks a good player. Sangare etc, forget it they will not come to forest anytime soon.

Remember once philepe, niakhate and aina are fit the defence will look much better
It's good we have players like mckenna, Williams and boly to come in and do a job
No point saying "if" Sheffield had a striker, they haven't and that's why they won't win games
All about getting the points.

Dream couldn't have wrote it better myself. Mckenna and Worrall are so bad it's unreal. Williams isn't the same player on the left as he is on the right. Johno needs to watch Elanga more closely, so much energy and work rate. Johno looked like he'd just rolled out of bed.

Agree 2Stars Hamer is exactly type of player we should have signed he looked a good player last night and would improve our team. MGW completed a great great piece of skill and turn then the shot at the end of it was 4th division class - I was right behind the line of it - miles off target. Cooper needs to tell him to calm down and work on the basics and assist the team. Waste of his talent at the moment. Danilo was awful.

Wouldn’t be surprised if Filipe isn’t the next injury enigma.

Johnson didn't look fully fit to me he made no real attempts to beat his man one on one thought danilo looked really off his game
But mangala was playing really well
It wasn't until yates came on that we looked like we could play with some guts
I thought that when we had the ball we didn't really know what to do with it
We're so used to springing a counter attack from a low block that when we have to actually play we don't have to quality to pick a forward pass with any bollox or with any real urgency
I thinknwe will looke much better against man u playing are usual low block.

I think playing Ryan frees up Danilo, Ryan adds muscle and physicality into midfield,

Agree stevie we always looked better with yates in the team.
