Blackpool - Nottingham Forest

I thought I was fuming. Cooper proper annoyed.
As he said (paraphrasing)- there was more than enough out there today to win that game. Lots of Premier League experience and top end of Championship.
There was a sense of entitlement and I hate that.

Spot on.

Surridge - should have had a hat trick his third miss is awful. His first he should have squared for Dennis - second chance - shovel foot
Dennis - at least 1 - Scarpas ball is screaming to be hit first time

Obrien - 50p head in own box

Williams - what was he thinking for the second?
Cook - so passive all game
Obrien - gets to the ball first and trips over

Williams - let his man run off him for the third

4th no one marking Yates in the box

Totally agree with that

Those players dropped a bollock today. A couple more cup games would have been ideal to keep fringe players getting minutes and chances to prove themselves.
Wednesdays selection will be interesting. I wouldn’t want any of our players to get injured for next Saturday so I’d probably pick most of them again. However a quarter final against a team we can beat with out first team is an opportunity.
Would have liked to have seen mbe soh from the start as I think his pace and ball playing is what is needed. Cook was awful.

Nah first team back on Wednesday please. Can't complain about how bad we were then want to see that team again surely?

But… key injuries on Wednesday and were f****d for the massive game we have on Saturday.

Cooper should have made more changes and sooner.
We have enabled the loss by picking a week team and then not reacting to whats happening.

I don't think we deserved to lose. Some terrible defending and finishing cost us. Surridge could have scored 3 himself.
Williams, O Brien, Cook and Surridge in particular, were bad today.

Cooper’s aftermatch comments are right. We did give up after conceding two goals with enough time left to potentially get something. For me that is the biggest worry. If we are going to survive in the premier league we are going to have to fight like anything right up to the end in every match. The team has got to believe they are capable of getting something out of every game. The teams mental attitude was weak today and suggests we are not very resilient when the chips are down. That might be one of the reasons why when we lose we tend to lose big. We need to put that right quickly. Any team can have an off day miss some chances, make a few errors at the back and concede goals, but teams which give in when that happens do not give themselves a chance to put it right and inevitably get relegated.

Terrible defending and finishing is exactly why we deserved to lose, but I get what you're saying. 

We created (and missed) so many clearcut chances.
We gifted 3 goals. (Arguably all 4  but credit to J Yates for an emphatic finish).

Oh dear, Im glad I could only see the first half. All the above sounds dreadful, should I give the highlights a miss then...

[Georgecloney]

The players felt sorry for themselves for missing chances and giving away two soft goals. Do that in league games relegation is inevitable.

Pick that XI in the league and relegation is inevitable tbf.

Every cloud has a silver lining.........that performance will hopefully end quite a few players time at NFFC. They will be gone sooner rather than later.

Now we want an angry response on Wednesday. and thrash Wolves.
