Forest were at it from the first whistle, playing with more energy and purpose. Every time they ran with the ball they caused problems.
In contrast, we started slowly in both halves and couldn't raise our game. Too many players had poor games. A poor performance collectively.
We couldn't get Thomas into the game in open play until far too late. Ward was unable to hold the ball up, and Sinani was hardly in the game. Koroma was quiet too.
The passing was far too laboured and, with a lack of options in midfield, the ball ended up going back far too often. We couldn't get on the half turn and play forward anywhere near enough. As a result, we created next to f**k all except a couple of good headed chances from corners late on.
On a positive note, I thought Holmes did well when he came on. Looked busy, energetic and was trying to make things happen.
LOB was my MOM for his effort and energy, but no one played well.
Just a bad day at the office. Hopefully a reality check from which everyone can learn from.
I'm not one for ever leaving early but I left on 71 minutes today. We were absolutely woeful
Hogg needed to be sacrificed and Vallejo needed to come on at HT.
Carlos tactically can worry me sometimes.
Fair play to forest they had done their homework on us and it looks like they have made a blue print on how to beat us now.
Forest done a job on us. Knew from the first 10 minutes our set up was wrong but it still didn’t change.
Ive seen Mipo in 3 times now and not once has he look interested in getting involved. Still looks very raw.
Fair play to Holmes, actually came on and done well. But we still need this elusive creative midfielde & striker.
Think forest were underestimated because of their poor start.
Agree, they looked good in that first 20-25 minutes and although we came into it they were solid and we barely created anything, if only Hughton could have stayed on one more game.
We were S**t and they fully deserved their win. A few things.....
Ward is S**t and quite frankly him on the pitch is like playing with 10 men. Whoever thought it was a good idea to bring Ward in AND give him a 3 year contract needs their head looking at, and then sacking. Sorry but Ward is less useful than an ingrown toenail.
Holmes isn't much better. See above re decision to bring him back.
Too much sideways and backwards S**t.
We showed absolutely no urgency whatsoever until we were 2-0 down, and even then it was only for 5 minutes.
Forest when they played the ball down the wing actually did it and had players running onto the ball. We try to go down the wings and whoever receives it is just static, so it's easy to defend against and they have no momentum going forwards.
Total lack of creativity.
We can't do anything other than playing out from the back because we can't lump it forward as Ward is useless in the air (in fact generally useless), yet I feel that by always playing out from the back, we'll get caught out and concede eventually. It also means no variety to try and cause a bit of confusion in terms of will we lump it, play it out from the back or something else.
We got what we deserved. Nothing. Simple as that.
Just not at the races today. But look at the other results today. A competitive league it's anybody"s.
Forest fans...w**k**s
Imagine being proud of being scabs especially when the the Tories they arselicked S**t on them a few years later anyway?
Imagine being so thick to think Hudds was a mining area?
Imagine singing about something that happened to people who were born after the event?
Personally I'd be embarassed to stand with them.
The last time we played them before Covid one Muppet was ranting and raving about Arthur Scargill and what a set of bastards we are in Yorkshire, that was by the coaches and the Police and steward
You could see what was going to happen in the first ten minutes. I said to my neighbour that it was Town that appeared to be bottom of the league.
It continued like that for the full 90 minutes. And Turton is no where near a Championship player - that was a dreadful signing.
Forest wanted it more today and deserved the win
We had a low tempo and most of the team put in 5/10 performances. Most players lost their individual battles against players prepared to work harder than them and hurt more on the day.
Positive for me is that despite being second best we could have drawn if lees and Turpin had scored those corners - I fancy us now to score every time we get a corner and we’re a real threat against any side in this league as a result of our set pieces
Negative in open play we lack creativity to break down sides - second half forest sat deep after they scored their second and despite all the possession I don’t recall a save of note from the forest keeper in that half. We really need to buck up our ideas in open play. It was quite easy to keep us at arms length in open play
I’m not overly down though. Forest are in a false position with their squad and the town players overall have done great this season.
On to the next game!
They were at it, we weren’t. Man for man a lot of their players are better than our equivalent and forest won their individual battles.
Carlos should’ve done more to change it although the bench wasn’t flush with options.
Mipo looks a few yards off the pace and we need him up to speed soon.
The Town wasn't too bad today, some times you have to give the other team credit. Forest were very good today.
As has been said they were really up for it, obviously had something to prove. They have some very good players and they all gave 100%. First goal was an excellent quick break, great cross and an unstoppable header by Grabban. Second goal we were slow restarting the second half and messed up a clearance, they were sharp and clinical to make us pay.
Turton came on to release Thomas further up field but it had little effect, not Turton's fault. Sinani didn't seem to fit where he was playing, there was very little interplay between him and Thomas and the 'clever' corner taking looks like a waste of time. I thought Holmes did well. Battled and tried to be creative but at 2-0 up they had shut up shop and the general movement around him was poor. We needed someone to link the back three to front players in the first half and Hogg, for all his qualities, is not that player.
Forest thoroughly deserved the win. Quicker, stronger and better on the ball all over the park.
We need to decide how Thomas and Toffolo are going to play. Neither is really a defender and if decent wingers get up against them, as today, it is dangerous. Their right winger burnt past Toffolo a few times.
Looked quite disjointed today. I really don't think we are a top six side, top half of the table though probably.
On we go.
