Whilst the final result left that horrible feeling in the pit of the stomach and anger at the performance I thought that Dyche’s reaction was very telling.
He’s clearly given the the fringe player a chance to put their money where their mouth is. And he’s been proved right not to include them in the 1st choice squad.
I can see quite a few of them being pushed out of the club if Dyche has his way.
He knows his preferred starting 11 and last night wasn’t that 11.
An FA cup run would have been nice but I would choose a mid table finish and good progression in the Europa league over that any day.
We don’t have the squad depth to be competing on 3 fronts.
Dyche has singled out those not playing for the team or the badge and I trust him to do something about it. We can’t question his commitment to Forest.

That's how I see it Surrey mate.
There are many other things wrong of course but appalling player recruitment is right up there.
I had no problem with the team selected last night as we have much more important things to sort out first.
I did however expect much more from those selected.
Jesus is asked to do a job he's not built for I agree with all who have said that but he did score with his head so it is possible to put in crosses if they are quality. There was also a low cross in the second half that went straight past the 6 yard line. Jesus and Awoniyi stood gawping at it.

It's the long balls from defence to him that's the problem gazzi even if he wins the ball he's got no support to pass to
MGW, we played better second half yesterday with playing out from the back and letting MGW carry the ball and pass through midfield
This big boot won't work in this day and age
Should just keep us up then marinakis will fire him and get a continental coach in.
