Your Thoughts On The Current Nottingham Forest Manager

[stirred]

Sorry Chris, but I am very disappointed and slightly concerned, looks to relaxed and cliche'd pre match, surely you have to use your subs and prior to that make sure you take players along who can change the game or save the best till last

Thought he set up the side well and for about 75 mins we looked decent.
I didnt see anyone on our subs bench who I thought would have changed the game.

100% SM. In fact our sub "arguably" brought us down and cost us the game. Maybe Ameobi could have come on and caused problems, but the starting XI were playing very well so why change it for sake of it.

We have a bloated squad of average players. Our reserve team and 3rd team if such things existed would both look OK on paper.....on grass not so much. This 9 subs shite just means even more dross in our matchday squad for me.

I was gobsmacked we had 9 subs, and STILL not one recognised striker on there.

As you say, bloated squad full of average players. Hughton has a job on his hands here. Any manager will whilst none-footballing staff are so heavily involved in recruitment.

I think you have a point on recruitment, but it doesn't answer the question entirely. It would be nice to have another forward, but Taylor, Grabban, Guerrero & Mighten isn't bad. To have 2 injured or ill is a bit unlucky - and if Hughton willingly left Mighten out then that's on him. (Why wasn't that asked about in the interview?)

I think we got carried away buying 'experience' in the summer, but we shouldn't dismiss the strength of the squad lightly. Even if it's 'average', we've played a lot of lower half sides this season and opponents like Barnsley, Derby and Coventry have made subs and changed the game in their favour. I don't think they have stronger squads than ours.

I don't think we're making the best of ours, and if Hughton doesn't start utilizing his subs wisely I think like it or not it'll cost him his job.
