RE: Bournemouth - Nottingham Forest - Paplane - 26-01-2025
Sorry for being a negative, glass half empty type, but v Wolves we could/should have conceded 2 goals in the first half. Then v Liverpool Sels kept them from scoring 3 or 4. Versus Southampton, one was a fluke but we conceded another and Aina's toe saved us from conceding a third. And now yesterday we let 5 in.
I've got this nagging feeling we've lost a bit of our defensive prowess of late.
Back to basics for me next week. Focus everything on not conceding. Bring the player's back down to earth.

Yeah and that FA Cup match was a completely different team.
Hopefully not the case, but the lack of possession must mean a lot of running, hopefully we've not pushed them too far.
I guess this is where we really need the squad to step up if players need a few weeks off to regain optimum fitness levels.
It actually equates to the opposite.
We have one of the lowest ground coverage in the league. Low block teams just shuffle rather than doggies up and down the pitch for 90 mins.
Tiredness is not a thing for us.
We have only played 25 games in 24 weeks.

I personally don't buy into this fatigue and fitness theory.
Bournemouth absolutely battered us and once they scored the second we didn't have a clue how to respond. The players heads went down and Bournemouth sensed a huge opportunity at half time to pull our pants down.

That's good then, probably partly helps explain our lack of injuries too then.

I was coming from the angle of mental fatigue and constant press/media talking about top 3. Takes it toll.
RE: Bournemouth - Nottingham Forest - Chicago - 26-01-2025
One loss and we all lose our minds?
I believe that we have always had it in our locker to break fart abd Bournemouth we’re very good and we were Terrible. Does mean that all is lost at all.
We always struggle when we don’t score first and Jota was dreadful. I would have yanked him much earlier and switched Elanga with Sosa or maybe put Moreno or Williams up further to be a little more combative.
Once Yates was off we had a massive hole in it. Murillo had an off day as did the Serbinator and you know his weak spot is being run at by a nippy winger.
Bournmouth are currently excellent. We have slipped recently because the Soton second half got away frl us due to hideous referring and maybe just maybe this is the kick in the arse we need.
Brighton with the exception of Mitoma are nowhere near as fast as the muff and I have wanted us to sign Semenyo since Brizzel because he is a menace and burnt Aina for speed.
Was always going to be a long day when we stopped controlling the tempo.
I think these next 6 games are going to be very difficult but I think you will see a much improved performance against Brighton. Also I think we are going to see Danilo more often soon.
CHO is a massive miss so getting someone to fill that hole is very important. I have faith we can do it and still finish in the top half of the table.
Chicago: Still feeling positive.

I am also nut buying it that the players are tired.
We haven't played that much football compared to most of the teams around us.

I'm not over this one at all, and might not be for a long time. (Well, unless we win on Sat and then all will be forgiven - the life of a Forest fan...)
My drive this morning to work in Bournemouth, driving past banners of Cherries players, just made things worse.
It's not so much losing, we lose to them a lot, and the unbeaten run was always going to end. But it was the manner of the defeat that hurts the most - and what's worrying me this morning.
Kluivert is on fire and just put 3 past Newcastle. Why wasn't he closed down??? Too many mistakes to dwell, but it felt like a loss of seasons past. How we could mastermind away performances at Anfield, Old Trafford, Brentford, Goodison, even the draw at Stamford Bridge, but then put in that performance on Saturday was a shock - unless there's something significantly wrong, hopefully it was just a terrible one-off and a huge wake up call.
But this is going to be a tough one to get over for me. Already had people sticking the boot in at work, and they don't care about football - they just know Bournemouth absolutely battered someone and that I support them.
Just hoping this is a blip. But conceding 7 in the last 120+ minutes is unacceptable if we want to keep our spot in the European places. Huge week ahead. Over to Nuno and the players to fix the performance levels and to Mr Marinakis to get some reinforcements in.
This has been the most incredible season. Hopefully we're back on track on Saturday and we can secure European football come the end of the season, I'd just love to beat Bournemouth for once!

100% Sniff.
That’s a weak excuse and an incorrect excuse to claim tiredness. We just never turned up on the day and too many players were way off it.
These things happen over a course of a season.
The players will be re-focused this week, Nuno will make sure of that.

The caption for this season appears to be 'stay humble'. Well a scudding like Saturday certainly helps.
Do agree someone should have taken the booking on Kluivert goal, been a couple of times this season that.
That said, Arsenal certainly fell foul of that at weekend!
