Nottingham Forest - Fulham

[optimistic_red]

It sounds like I'm on my own here but I've got to say, I'm really worried about us now. Most people seem to think we can just brush this defeat off, forget it and go rolling on down to QPR to smash them. Is no one concerned our levels have dropped off and we're making really calamitous errors? I can see us getting beaten again by QPR and then have a really tough game to follow v Sheff. We could be looking at 3 defeats on the bounce if things don't go our way.

I thought yesterday early on we showed some real nerves, gave them too much respect etc etc but above all we didn't play very well. Every time Fulham broke away they looked dangerous. When Colback went off we had no bite in midfield, Garner offered nothing but there were no stand out performances from any of the others. Both full backs were prevented from bombing on which has been our main weapon in our revival. Fulham stopped it happening. The full backs only started to do that when the game had gone and Fulham were playing without jeopardy. 

We nearly messed up last week against Blackpool, let's face it we got lucky at Bristol and now we've been thumped 0-4 at home. I'm worried.

“Worried” as in get relegated?

On the next six games thread you predicted 9-10 points which included a draw against Fulham so we’re only one point worse off so far.

I'm worried by the scale off the defeat and im also suprised how pretty much eveyone is brushing it off as just one of those things. 

My overriding worry though is that we've just had a new manager bounce and now weve been easily beaten, even found out, we'll return to the patchy form of the last 18 months. I suppose I'm seeking reassurance that we're still a decent side!

We got beaten by a team worth 3x as much as us, so not fair game before it kicked off. The poor refereeing added to the difficultly on the day.

Yes we missed chances, and defended poorly, giving away stupid soft goals. However we are now passing and controlling the football much better than at the start of the season, players look much better and together, so progress is being made.

I am happy to brush off the defeat as a bad day. No need to panic. Sure opinion might change after a few more games that's football. 
Being a Forest fan, it is difficult to hope and believe, as we have had so many years of shite, so I do understand why you are worried.

That's me in a summary.

Anybody know why the full match replay isn't available on ForestTV? It was made available on FulhamTV 2 days ago.

There is an article on The Athletic today concerning how Marco Silva is using NBA tactics when teaching his players how to block (screening as it's called in the basket world) players. Not allowed according to football rules but still considered innovative and clever. Go figure.

They probably thought nobody was daft enough to sit through that nightmare again  :cool:
