When did CHO blatantly refuse to pass to Lucca?

Against Wolves, we saw (not for the first time) not much and it was only getting worse with each game.
Changing managers I believe may well save the season for Forest.
At worst it will be the same result... relegation.
For what its worth I think its more down to style.
Dyche's greatest success came at Burnley, where the players would literally run through walls for him. His style is built on shutting other teams down and then scoring in transitions or from set pieces. We saw some of that in the early stages where i actually think the players bought into it. After Ange and the results being so bad I think someone coming in and saying right lads, lets keep it tight and go back to being solid was welcomed by all.
What I find interesting is the better performances all came in those games where playing in that manner was warranted or indeed expected. Hence your Liverpool and Spurs wins and your Arsenal and Man City games (to some extent you put in Palace 2nd half). Now the interesting bit of debate is whether Dyche, in all his years the underdog, has the ability to coach at a team where they are deemed the better side, or in fact, expected to win and win comfortably. Indeed you throw the players into the mix, humans with emotions and thoughts of their own, were they willing to follow the gameplan when they themselves felt they were better?
I dont think you can say it was getting worse each game, as I believe you're referencing the games you believe Forest to be the better side. As I say, all those we weren't we were actually ok.
Apparently Dyche has never won a game in prem where his teams have more than 60% possession, think they said it was 12 times it'd happened. Sums it up pretty well I think.
I think that's it, perhaps some similarity with Nuno who remained underdogs for quite some time and seriously couldnt handle the tag of actually needing to beat sides. I've a couple of mates who are Wolves fans and whilst they love him, they will say often games needed a touch of class from a Moutinho etc to open sides up (other than Traore running very fast and giving it to Raul Jiminez)
Coaches just have their thing.

Not long after his howler. CHO got into the box, Lucca was in the middle, he saw him and ignored him, shooting instead.

I thought it happened a couple of times. He obviously doesnt rate his finishing.

Yes it happened I saw it too clear as day turns to night.
I honestly thought there was some dodgy stuff going on like Fulham away under Cooper.
Hope I am wrong on that.

So what are we implying gents? (
question).They/CHO have something against Lucca, who’s only been here 5 minutes?
Or they don’t want him to score because they want Igor back in?
Or they didn’t want to win because they wanted Dyche out (which might be a more feasible theory given the fact that they had their meeting with EM after the match).
Sorry if I’m either being thick or overreaching here!

If there is something to see here then I am going for option 3.

And wouldn’t be the only one of that thinking either Sniffer. Seen quite a few people suggest that players didn’t want to win the game as they knew less than a win would signal the end of Dyche. Others have suggested it was just poor finishing and for a team trying not to win we had 35 efforts. Many seem to miss however that most of those 35 efforts were long range wide of the goal or tame efforts straight into Sa’s arms.

CHO needs to look at himself in the mirror first, his performances this season have been well short of last season. Also his attempts at goal the other night or should I say back pass to the goalie were shocking!

OMG.
Thank God we got rid.
We still might go down but I am happy to know that we at least threw the dice and didn't stick with Dyche.

If that's the case, then I have had it with football.
