Without any wide players it became very easy to stop any attacking attempt from Forest but the main reason was that we just did't compete and were more than happy to loft the ball aimlessly long with the result that Barnsley picked the ball up and started their attacks again. Forest had 36,7% possession and 57% pass success rate. Embarrassing.
On that showing Forest have nothing to contribute with in the play offs. It will however be a good learning experience for next season (for the players that stay).
Ive not given up on the manager or winning the play offs. With our full first 11 we can beat anyone, or avoid getting beaten on any given day.
Sabri got it wrong yesterday imo and so I criticised him accordingly. With Lolley, Ameobi, Cash, Samba back and Silva back in the side we're a completely different proposition.
