Absolutely terrible!!!

You weren't saying he was terrible when he got the two goals.  Two more and he'll be joint top scorer! :P

He doesn't do what Cafu does on the ball as well.  That's an area of Yate's game he's got to work on.  By his own admission.

The only player who's really struggled has been Bong.  He's been skinned several times with Worrall having to bail him out a few times.

SA.

Yes, Bong has been terrible.

But so has Yates -- mugged in the centre circle and has given the ball away cheaply at least twice. Knockaert is an issue too. As is Freeman. 

If this is Hughton's idea of our best team after 30 games, then we have a structural issue.

I don't think it's Hughton's idea of his best team at all.

Somebody with a dart board had 'better' ideas last Summer.

When you have to start with a 37 year old.  That's a very diplomatic way of saying recruitment needs to be better.

SA.

Agreed on recruitment, and I do have faith that Hughton will generally improve the team in each transfer window.

But, given we have two defensively suspect full-backs, the idea that Knockaert and Freeman will provide any kind of wide cover is laughable. Lolley works much harder than Knockaert. I'd be tempted to make that switch at H/T, and bring on Dias for Freeman, moving Krovinovic to the left for 20 mins.

Hughton will get there if Forest stick with him.

Interesting that Rib' isn't even on the bench.

And I don't get this love for Yates, he is shocking nothing spectacular and to be truthful we need better than him.

Exactly if we ever want to do anything in this division then we need to have better on our books and that includes  for squad players!

Samba quickly off his line to snuff out the danger.

Better from Yates. More of that.

I know it goes against the script but Christie has been good the last few months. Always offers an outlet going forward, defensively improved. Plus plays 90 mins every game and yet is constantly pushing on.

I would definitely be looking to sign him next year given he's on a free

I'd rather side burns than those goddamn knot heads.

Hughton has work to do at half time. I'm not saying anymore!

I agree. Think he's looked good. Helped by knock finding some form too. 

Don't think Bong is being given the same amount of help from Freeman.

Half time.

A toothless 'flurry' in the Watford defensive area.

Watford look like a side that currently sit 2nd.

Forest look like a team that are desperately trying to banish the spectre of a train wreck pre-season.

We were unlucky with the goal- clear foul on samba but we are streets behind Watford as a team

Your restraint is admirable. ;)
