Where do we start with this?
What an absolute show of s**t that was.
From the first whistle we gave West Ham so much respect it was unforgivable.
We couldn't pass to save our lives.
And why MGW was not hauled off at half-time is beyond (and a fair few others I would think). When he's on it, he's really good. When he's off it, he's dreadful. That stupid little flick didn't come off from the very first attempt. But, hey. let's just keep doing it and losing possession.
Awful decision making by the players. On this showing the new guys must be thinking they've made a huge mistake coming to us.
I can't in all honesty pick one player who was decent today. This is what I have been afraid of: Forest's patented Jekyll and Hyde performance. We own it. We are the masters of it.
Against a side who have let their opponents in the first 3 games score for fun, and we didn't even look like scoring even 1 goal, if we played until midnight.
Wanting too many touches. Too long in possession. A totally totally different game to the first of the season where we went for the jugular from kick off.
Ref was shocking, but we cannot blame him for this performance.
Nuno left the subs too late. Wouldn't surprise me if the big man now decided to actually pull the trigger because this was - going on West Ham's first three games - shocking. We should never ever have drawn a game like this, let alone lost this game.
We seriously need to go back to the drawing board.

Your right about us taking too long to create anything while in possession.
Really can't believe what I've just seen.

Fully agree with this!
The most frustrating thing today was the lack of urgency from both the players on the pitch and Nuno at making changes, we were crying out for 3/ 4 changes before the 60th min but no. So frustrating.
Like you say…. The big man might just be having a serious think!

However we don't become a bad side overnight, so let's see.

No Rogie, if results are to be believed, then we became a bad side in the final third of last season.

Hard to know how we can go from that display v Brentford to that no show today. It seems capitulating after going a goal behind is a habit we still haven't lost. We had loads of forwards on the bench but very limited defensively. Boly and Morato for Murillo and Milenkovic?! Got to hope Savona and Cuaibano are ready to go because Aina and Williams also ran out of steam.

It’s like when we play a dreadful team, we lower our own standards to theirs…awful.

Chimera you've been saying the same thing about nuno from day one yet he got us into Europe lol. maybe he wants the sack because like players you don't become a bad manager overnight he will be living the dream on a sunny beach next week with a huge payout laughing at fans like you. when we end up with another crap manager.
