Stoke City - Nottingham Forest

[Uwantlee]

It doesn't matter who the manager is, this team is not good at all. Unless we have a very strong finish to this window, we could definitely go down this year.

For everyone expecting a massive turnaround if/when we change manager yet again there might we be a rude awakening.

We're really short in a number of obvious areas, a change in tactics won't help that. 

(The unwillingness to change tactics definitely looks worse when the other team's tactic is clearly dominating yours, not CH finest hour)

There may not be a turn around but there could at least be a set up that allows us to attack. 70 minutes no shots is horrific... in fact how many shots have we had in 4 games this season.

How many times do we just pass it out of play or into touch. Doesn't matter what tactics we play if this is our starting 11 we'd go down.

(I assume it'll be fairly different by Sep)

Mighten bundled into again from behind outside the Stoke box.

Stoke player booked?

Brennan skies it.

Not disagreeing with you... we will go down with this team.

I believe it will be a different team come the end of the window but I’d still like to see some intent... like to see them have a go.

People wanted youth.  They wanted Car.  They wanted Brennan.  They wanted Mighten.

They haven't done much in four league games. The silver lining is Anderson's voice is a powerful sedative for this match.

Forest are going down unless the new CEO brings in players. 

Forest, a predictable 0 points from 12 following a shocking transfer window so far.  1 fit outfield player is our business and he's a loan.  But he can't do it all on his own.  We're 4 games into the season without substantial recruitment.  Pull your finger out, Dane.

89th minute.  And Forest have no answer. Zinc Man toils away.

Goodbye Chris thanks for your efforts

I will only counter this with the fact that this is nowhere near a squad that can challenge. I think it’s unfair on CH but what he has served up has been terrible.

Hughton brought in Garner and Krov' in January and saved Forest from relegation.

What has Dane given him to serve up?

A relegation side.

Forest's recruitment is shocking.

Fin Back a positive on a sorry day.

Chris Hughton Out.

Tonight.

Awful again...almost a year in charge and there's been zero improvement.. we have no identity.and the players do not look like they know what to do.. we don't do pretty passing or offer a high press, we aren't a counter attacking team nor a long ball team. I see nothing changing with the manager or players we currently have..

Feel sorry for McKenna as he seems to be partnered with shit constantly... also can see.zinc disappearing aslt the earliest opportunity and I don't blame him.

Heard hougton goes tonight if we lose so maybe not all bad …
