I think it's less to do with formations and more to do with players.
Forest haven't been consistent even in the 'native' 4-2-3-1. (They were getting there...though.)
A sudden move to 4-4-2 highlighted they haven't got the players for that. (Is it a formation that Martin has used a lot?)
Spine of the team isn't strong enough for that?
Such as? Another CH that can command the area. Another CM that has the box to box drive to move the team forward at pace. A mobile striker that can upset defences, make something happen and get behind them.
A keeper that can command his area.
A winger. A battle hardened one.
How many is that now?
...and a quality LB.
...and a quality RB.
How many players is that?
I've lost count.
SA.
