Nottingham Forest - Wigan

[Strawberry Avenger]

We weren’t good but some of the comments tonight well over the top in my opinion.

To give some perspective please read this quote.

"I don't want to accept it but at the end of the day I told the guys to be disappointed but take this as a blessing because we didn't get big-time punished. We didn't match them in the majority of the game”.

Lamouchi?
No that was Slaven Bilic after top of the table West Brom played Wigan a couple of weeks ago. Just maybe in the Championship any opposition can give you a tough game.

Forest fans expect more from their football.  It didn't save MoN (Forest legend) from being pilloried for playing transitional football whilst he undertook his pre-season in 'live time.'

And if 'The Coach' serves up crepe and the (over paid) players serve up crepe then people who pay £30 Plus the Rest will vent their spleen.

That said.

I had an issue with the 'next 5 games' threads.  'Should.'  That word.  Such arrogance.  Such presumption.  Forest aren't Man City.  They aren't in the same universe as the (currently) all conquering L*verp**l who win every week it seems.  Arsenal fans were quick to turn on and get rid of Arsene (your missing him now, eh?)  The days of footballing superiority of Brian Clough are fond memories that cast a long shadow.  

There is no 'should' in the Championship.  You earn the right.  WBA.  Forest.  Leeds vs Birmingham.  There are no easy games.  Top can be beaten by bottom.

Forest without Sow?  A top 9 team as results proved.  His coming back gave Forest a kickstart, a boost.  A jolt.  And they scraped the win to top 5 today with a dose of luck without him.  A great save by Samba.

At the end, Forest won ugly.  Very ugly.  Forest's football hasn't been good for some time.  Many complaints about MoN's transitional football but the solid, pragmatic and occasionally gutless football being currently served up is no better.  And it had a pre-season and 11 more players thrown at it for this season.

Forest 'desperately' need to shake the bag in January.
