Well I hope its still Sabri.
What happened, happened. Why? I have got no idea. Did the players bottle it? Did they seriously expect Stoke to roll over for them and have their belly rubbed? Complacency from the players maybe? We don't know!
We have been poor since the restart, there is no getting away from that fact. But Sabri has been picking the strongest side available to him. Yes, he f****d up with the formation on Sunday, but what else has he done that hasn't worked for the rest of the season?
What more could Sabri do when we equalised? He couldn't run onto the pitch and make the side attack more. Did he instruct the team to get the equaliser then sit back and try to kill off the game with 30 minutes plus stoppage time on the clock? I don't think he did. I think he was probably mortified at what his players were doing. It wasn't his fault Sow had to limp off in the first half.
Did he miss the chances that just would not go in for us?
All Sabri could do was prepare the team for the next game. If players were telling him they were ok and good to go, even though they had their own personal doubts, fears, trepidation's, what was he expected to do? Look into their heads to see if they were being honest?
It was the players that bottled it last night, not Sabri. He put out a very strong side. He could do no more, but it is his head on the chopping block, not any of the players.
Was it Sabri's fault that Reading went down to ten men and Swansea scored 4 goals? No! But it could be him that loses his job.
I love Forest with a passion, always have and always will, but I do get so sick and tired of players not giving everything for the shirt they should feel honoured to wear. And when things do end up going tits up, like yesterday, they are not the ones held accountable, but the manager.
I hope that on this occasion, EM will have seen that Sabri did all that he could yesterday (can't take the blame away from him for Sundays debacle) to see us over he line and it was the players who let the club, themselves and the fans down, not the Manager.
I also get sick and tired of our fans constantly demanding a new manager when things don't go according to plan. We have been doing this for over 2 decades and it has won us the grand total of f**k all! How about, just for a change, we decide to stick with a manager. Actually give him a chance to build on what he has so far built. Let him prove he is capable of going that little bit extra next time out.
Let me just say this...........Nottingham Forest F.C. are 155 years old. In those 155 years, how many times have we won the 1st Division/Premier League? Once. F.A. Cup? Twice. European Cup? Twice. League Cups? 4. European Super Cup? Once and the Charity Shield? Once. If you include the '66/67 season, Forest have only been successful for about 10-15 seasons. 10-15 seasons out of 155 years!!! It is what it is and we are what we are, basically an average football team with dreams to emulate those glory years gone by. Sadly, we are no longer something special! Those glory years have gone. Oppositions fans love to take the piss out of our obsession with our past. That has gone. We are living the now..........the present! We have been mis-owned and mis-managed. We have been the heroes and the villians.
I could say more about certain things, but will hold my tongue as I do not want getting kicked off this site for speaking my mind.
Yes i am still hurting from yesterday. Yes it was embarrassing. Yes I am angry. But I am a long standing supporter of this mighty club and I have seen the lows and the highs and will still be back there, when it is safe to do so, when I can, cheering those on who are wearing the famous Garibaldi.
Now is the time to get behind our club, our players and most importantly, our Manager and cheer them on to better things, to greater achievements, to believe in ourselves once again.
