We have some large problems to sort out without a doubt. Last night, apart from the first 10 minutes, I thought we were awful.
Rookie keeper- looked nervous and shaky. Cash is no right back (though he tried) . Adomah was ineffective, Silva lightweight and Lolley a shadow of last seasons player. Grabban has no supply at all, though I would hardly say he put a shift in. Worrall shouted a lot yet was anonymous, and worst of all tactically the manager stank. He was schooled by Bilic, I suppose that’s what you get when you employ someone who has no knowledge of the league or country they are going to work in. We looked lightweight and the lack of pace was there for all to see.

Don't worry, if it continues Sabri will be sacked then we will go again.
I say get the next manager ready to take over in the second half of the next game should we be losing. 🤣.

Redfrog if you think that was awful you either must be a new Forest supporter or about about 8 yrs old. don't get me wrong it wasn’t great but it was by no means awful. WBA were the better team but other than a goal the keeper should have saved and a complete fluke they didn’t really muster anything else.

Agree Perks. They had 2 shots at goal one went in and a fluke cross that most keepers wouldn't save.
We had one shot on goal and scored.
Yes Albion kept ball for periods but mainly in their own half. We weren't over run exactly but lost to the better side. Very big physical side.
They are hot favourites for promotion so its not a disgrace to lose by the odd goal.
I thought we played ok for a team with so many new faces.
But need a striker and right back asap, Grabban is just not physical enough to play up front as target man.

A fluke most goalkeepers wouldn't save? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It was a cross and a goalkeeper should be positioned to take a cross bearing in mind he had no WBA attacker near him to worry about.
Fluke goal yes because it was a cross, but rank goalkeeping from a positional sense.

Disagree 79. Looks bad in slow mo but in real time different story. Keepers are looking to come and take the cross not expecting to be backpedaling to trying to keep one out of the far top corner.

Always expect the unexpected in goal it's called concentration, I sit in first row of upper clough and was right in line with it, he's six foot five and flapped and had no idea where his goal was.
Sorry mate the lad is not ready to play with the big boys and we aren't in a position to take a punt with a rookie keeper hoping he'll come good.

He moved his arm out the way cus he thought he was closer to the bar than he was so was a massive misjudgement by him an we did look awful after the 1st 10 mins, after they went in front we had no plan b to get back into it, no attacking creativity which was concerning, Grabban didn’t look interested, we took Lolley off who is our best chance at getting a goal.

Perks and Trentender- my first game attended was 1975, yes I might be a crusty old so and so but I don’t happy clap. A spade is a spade- and I call it so. That performance was awful, tactically inept, out muscled and out fought.
Carry on happy clapping if you want, I hope I’m proven wrong but I have a nasty feeling this isn’t going to end well for Lamouchi.

Not the old happy clap chestnut 😴.

Well Red Frog I've been going since late 60s. Yes I'm a happy Clapper and proud that I support the reds come what may. Always look for the positives and enjoy supporting the team and attending matches. Yes I am often disappointed at results but that comes with the territory . can't believe the negativity after one game. Goalie makes a mistake and its armageddon.
A bit simplistic to say goalies position and anticipation was wrong. you could criticise every goal conceded using that argument.
