Your Thoughts On The Current Nottingham Forest Manager
The fact that Yates is even being compared to Grabban ‘missing more sitters’ is a hugely disappointing fact!

I suppose it's not much of a compliment for Grabban when his chances missed are being compared to a DM.

A compliment to Yates for getting in those positions you could say. Although he has really missed some great chances!

Neither is acceptable.

I don’t believe that to be true.

The names have been changed to protect the guilty

Manager ;- Hey Striker What you like at penalty’s do you fancy taking them?
Striker ;- not that great really why do you ask
Manager ;- nobody else seems bothered and well you get your £10k goal bonus if you score one
Striker ;- what if I miss ?
Manager ;- try again your my only striker
Striker ;- I ain’t that bad really in fact I am quite good if I say so myself ,
i will try give it a go what’s the worst that can happen ?
Hopefully might even score one 1 day
Manager;- great you’ve got the job might even give you another year on your contract if you ever score a goal
Come on you mighty Reds

Yes he has missed a few sitters, all strikers do but the service he has had has been woeful this season for the most part. It wasnt that much better last season, it was under appreciated how well he did as our only striker, played every game and 20 goals. I dont have the stats to hand of how many chances and xG etc but Im sure it was pretty  good. He has dropped off this season yes but the whole team has. Someone put a few weeks ago Toney would have struggled with us this year, agree with that.

Wasn't criticising Grabban as the argument could be made that the previous season we massively over achieved and were too reliant on Grabban. In fact if anything it reinforces this and the failure of this season is as much the clubs fault for not having an effective plan B to deal with the top striker losing form. Unfortunately Taylor was that plan B - just turned out to not be a very good one (or perhaps never got a huge run of games - but I'm not convinced) 

I also think we missed cash big time. His contribution was perhaps under appreciated despite everyone being hugely appreciative.

Yes agree with all of that PR.

Cash was everything we’ve missed this season- dynamic, positive, pacey and aggressive both in attack and defence

It was more defensively we really missed him. Also Lolley had a great rapport with him.

Yes I agree on both counts. We missed the Cash/Lolley combo.

Hughton's second season in charge of a club is normally a very good one. I was reading some comments from Brighton fans the other day and they were all saying the same thing which was for us to stick with Hughton despite a poor season.
