Nuno Espirito Santo

I think he has us playing cooper-ball better in that at times we do retain position but the Niakhate decision cost us the game and not going after a half-dead Brighton who'd been tonked abroad and in the league not to long ago was a really poor call.

Sums it up for me. Plus (ignoring the last couple of games), we have been able to score goals!

The number of unforced errors is actually key for me.

I don’t think I’ve ever witnessed a Forest team make so many as they have this season, my initial reactions when it first became noticeable was that I felt we were trying to take risks and be brave on the ball but it’s just plain sloppy.

The first three notable touches from Neco Williams today were two misplaced passed, one out of play and the other straight to the opposition, and a baffling set piece routine that he hit straight at the wall.

I don’t mean to single Neco out because it permeates through the whole team (barring Toffolo).

Can anyone explain why this is happening with such regularity?

Because most of our players aren't up to the standard?

Is that true? I’m not disagreeing, just stating playing devils advocate. 

I genuinely think the collective group are better than the league position suggests.

The amount of times over the years on this forum, people have believed the group are better than the league position suggests. I can count how many times with 1 finger of one hand how many times that turned out to be the case.

I agree with the Baddog, we've got some players with potential but right now there's too much inconsistent play and some just aren't that good. 

It's funny you pick out Neco too as he's probably been our best player of late. Not sure exactly what that says about the rest of the team.

I did say that I wasn’t singling out Neco, I was using him as an example. 

That said, we have detracted from the point I was making. The level of unforced errors isn’t down to the standard of the players, there is clearly something wrong with the mindset of the squad, it is almost lacking in professionalism.

Is it feasible to change the manager at this stage of the season. Would a change give us a better chance of staying up and if so who.

We aren't getting anyone at this time of the season

We were only able to attract Glasner and Nuno with ample time to sort it out so we've shot it now

Warnock would keep us up

He's just been superb up in Scotland.

Oh come on you lot. Not disputing Nuno needs to get results fast but there is a bit of nonsense talk creeping in here.

It’s creeping in because people are only now beginning to grasp the gravity of the situation. It is possible we could be 9 points behind Luton by the end of the weekend. We would then need a miracle to survive. Has Nuno got a miracle in him. On the evidence so far he has not. It might be the task is too much for any manager we might be able to attract for 9 matches but it is not unreasonable to ask the question.

If that were to happen and we end up being 9 points behind Luton at the end of the week then how would that be Nuno's fault?

It’s gone past whose fault it is. There could be a debate about that but it would be academic. The question would be what can we do now to maximise our chances of pulling off a miracle. In my opinion Nuno hasn’t given us any evidence he will be capable of pulling one off

It wouldn’t be entirely his fault, the ownership would have to take the majority of the blame.

And there it is. Nice to have you back blaming the owners

We would need to find out from them though how the hell it was allowed to happen.
