No chance Nuno leaves till the summer at least, yes the performance was poor today, but how many decisions do we get against us every game, it’s a disgrace, My interest in football is at an all time low. I’m sure others on here feel the same way.

i agree it’s a desperate question for a desperate situation. It is not unfeasible to think that by the end of next weekend we are six points behind Luton with an inferior goal difference and them with a game in hand. Then you have to ask is there anything from Nuno’s record so far which suggests he can turn that round. I don’t think there is. It might be there is no one else available who could do any better but surely it is a question worth asking.

Steve Cooper's out of work at the moment.

No thanks, the low block football he used to play at Forest was a complete bore fest.

It was a joke Plymouth. Poor one admittedly.


RE: Nuno Espirito Santo - Salvatore Matrecano - 10-03-2024

Cooper this season 14 pts from 17 games. 0.82 ppg. Over 38 games = 31 points

Nuno this season 10 points from 11 games. 0.91 ppg. over 38 games = 34 points.

Unlikely either performance good enough to keep us up. Changing manager again would be madness IMo but we need a good run very soon.

we can all agree we do that.

The number of unforced errors is actually key for me.

I don’t think I’ve ever witnessed a Forest team make so many as they have this season, my initial reactions when it first became noticeable was that I felt we were trying to take risks and be brave on the ball but it’s just plain sloppy.

The first three notable touches from Neco Williams today were two misplaced passed, one out of play and the other straight to the opposition, and a baffling set piece routine that he hit straight at the wall.

I don’t mean to single Neco out because it permeates through the whole team (barring Toffolo).

Can anyone explain why this is happening with such regularity?

Because most of our players aren't up to the standard?

Is that true? I’m not disagreeing, just stating playing devils advocate. 

I genuinely think the collective group are better than the league position suggests.

I don't think Neco is a Prem quality right back, I don't think Toff is a Prem quality left back, I don't think Danilo has been up to standard and we have two 21-year-old CB's who make mistakes. I would say yes, mistakes are par for the course with a defence like today.

Don't get me wrong they have potential but currently, we are much weaker without the likes of a fit Felipe as of last year and Lodi at left who we miss massively. Danilo isn't the same Ryan constantly gives the ball away, the players we have give us what we are seeing.
