Swansea City - Nottingham Forest
enjoying following Forest is becoming so traumatic

the swansea fella dived and is a cheat and their managers hobby is having his face stamped on

the Forest camp need a psychologist and therapy

the ref is a disgrace, quite a few things that didn't go our way, Worrall goes shoulder to shoulder and gets a yellow, Mighten gets bulldozed off the pitch and never gets a thing

As poor as we were today what didnt help was arguably the two most important Swansea goals that were aided by poor officiating.. the 1st (offside) to put us on the back foot early doors and the 3rd (penalty) when we were on top after getting a goal back

Agree Sniffer. Last week there were a few seriously suggesting there was still an outside chance of top 6. Now there is wrist slashing about the certainty of relegation. Think our first 11 will see us OK as bad as today was.

I still believe that the 2 clear errors made by the officials ( and I don’t believe that anyone will question that they were wrong ) influenced the final result more than our performance ( poor that it was ).

I’m agreeing therefore that we shouldn’t get too carried away by today’s result.

And - for those still demanding more signings - today’s result probably plays to that argument.

I’m not too disheartened - more upset by the Sheep result.

And can I just leave these stats here.

Possession:

Swansea 48% Forest 52%

Shots:

Swansea 17 Forest 15

In a game where we have started with 10 changes.
And in a game where we’ve played against 14 men.

Yes we were poor - both individually & collectively.
But let’s keep it in perspective.

TPL, i fully agree with your post mate (this is becoming a regular occurrence, I must start taking my meds again! :cry: ). 

The two refereeing decisions today were shocking, especially the two decisive ones. The Ref was definitely a homer and gave Swansea the impetuous on the two occasions when Forest were looking to threaten Swansea (After a slow 5 minutes, we did start to get into the game and started to attack Swansea more), which knocked up off of our stride and knocked our confidence badly. 

I think the game did raise a few questions though. Is Bachirou good enough for this team (I appreciate he has just come back from long term injury, but he just looked completely out of sorts with everything he did).

Should we look to off load Jenkinson?

Should we look to off load Figerido?

Should we look to off load Guerreo?

Are there others we should consider off loading?

I too am totally pissed off with the Derby score as well mate!

If anyone is stupid enough to take any of our players apart from the centre backs and mighten we snap their hands off. 

No-one is going near these players on these wages though

Would be pretty devastated about our team selection in hindsight, funny though

To be honest we should get rid off the majority of that team that played today, just not up to it or good enough

it's what following Forest has to be about for me, every game, as much as possible is a cup final, i can't sit through football generally, but when it's Forest every game needs to take on added significance, i want it too

every game is a like a first date with a really really pretty girl, something a bit special, alot is the unknown

but if i want ordinary i just sit through another episode of Bargain Hunt or Tipping Point or a repeat of NCIS

In a way every game could potentially be the turning point, the game we look back at and say that is the day, we were behind and came back to win, players started to believe again, the catalyst

Today could of been that day but all we have to discuss is where it went wrong, even when some of us think maybe the squad is good enough or think Chris Hughton is turning things round, whatever

To be honest i don't really say what i'm thinking anymore, maybe a good kicking like today might do more good, maybe this is the turning point, it just doesn't look like it, we sort of feel like we are due a decent high scoring win 

If you don't get any heated debate, apathy is the winner

Sorry - just not good enough. Worrall looks proper pissed off and I don’t blame him. Figgs was pathetic. So was jenkinson...
just awful today.
