Brentford - Nottingham Forest
Aye, the nature of that defeat has left me clutching at straws. I cannot see a way we stay up. We need two massive performances against Southampton and arsenal and perhaps pray we can get something out of London.

Most of rivals will play twice before we kick a ball. If we are still a win away from getting out of the relegation zone then we have a chance but next match... I'm nervous already

Yep it was there for us today, really started to believe.

Exactly. Should have subbed Navas for Hennessey too.

Actually should have withdrawn Ayew at the end and played with 9 men, then we would have won for certain. Cooper Out.

I don't want to watch the team that I've loved for over 60 years play like that. Total defence, total inability to pass and an absolute refusal to maintain possession. We might be better off long term going down and changing the whole set up and approach.

Its so frustrating. We were genuinely in cruise control.

Agreed, this is no long term strategy. But being able to build in the premier league is better that having to rebuild in the championship

This is Forest. When have we ever made things easy for ourselves. We all knew that it was going to come down to the last game of the season. It always does somehow

Again this expectation that first Premier League season that we are going to dominate established teams away from home I find baffling.

It’s fair to say that we won’t dominate, but 1 win away all season is very poor. We are tactically clueless away from home which is strange compared to our home performances. Today was a real chance to capitalise on being 1-0 up and create some daylight between us and the other teams. On the back of the Brighton game we would have build up some momentum. Southampton game looks absolutely huge now, but I think it might not be enough to win that on its own.

The thing is Salv I think with our quality players on the pitch this season we're out of trouble now no problem.  Amd thats after the really poor start we made. Its just every time we get some momentum we lose players and it feels like we get f****d over by a higher power.
