Fulham. Leeds. Brentford. All beaten.
WBA should have beaten them.
How many other teams can say that?
Quality 1st team.
But can we keep it fit enough and therefore consistent enough to stay in the top 6 or challenge for the 2nd spot. This team almost deserves the 2nd spot.
But they've tossed away some howlers of games. Points just thrown away. And not because Forest were completely blown away by a 'better' team. I'm saying that Forest have capitulated and conspired against themselves.
An injury to Sow is one thing. But they've had all Summer and January to get someone in to cover. The other rookie error of recruitment was to 'only' have Grabban as the lead striker all season so far. (Can we count Mir as back up?)
Getting Walker back was a no-brainer. But we could have had ACM/Striker and DCM scouted and installed.
Maybe for the 'step up' in quality further reductions in wages turnover will be required. Player availability vs wages cost vs Forest's wages turnover. I can see that being a complex equation.
The Coach wanted his 'surprise.' Da Costa was his 'surprise?' *look unconvinced.
I can see at least another 5-8 players leaving in the Summer. The 2nd string aren't able to even make a fist of it e.g. vs Charlton. You can't just 'turn up' at Championship games. Those days have been gone for some time. You can't get away with just 2 or 3 quality players. You now need a quality 1st team AND even that isn't enough. The quality needs to bleed into the 2nd string as well.
