Barnsley - Nottingham Forest

[wassy04]

Wasnt just the formation. Some inexcusable performances out there, hardly won a 50:50, 36% possession against the bottom club, couldnt string 2 passes together, didnt have a single noteworthy effort.

More difficult when you don't know what position you're playing.

Sabri needs to go out and get some Viagra and take 4 before the next team selection

Negative. Negative. Negative.

We bottled it.

in another must win game.

shocking.

SA.

Wasn't about bottling it at all, we played stupid tactics and allowed them to constantly attack us. Was inevitable that we'd concede when tired.

Forest have bottled must win games all season long.

the tactics today got the result they warranted.

Forest don't seem like a team that can hack the play offs.

Why have we have become the EFL's worst anti-football club this season! So negative in all respects. Having supported Forest since 1965 all I want as a supporter is to watch my team play good football regardless in what division we are playing in. Getting into the premier league where I expect us to struggle against the money bags clubs will not be pleasant, rather play like Brentford and stay in the Championship. The clubs higher management and Sabri will have to take stock and rethink what we are as a club and are they entertaining the paying public and supporters or chasing an unrealistic dream on a shoestring budget.

No wins in five

Even if we keep our gd advantage...

...no wins in 5 don't suggest anything other than a play off early bath.

Username and Green Man have the upper hand in some of the debates

I don't mind extreme defensive tactics but basically putting up cumbersome immobile players against lively hungry motivated players from the first minute to get a 0.0 is just a bit too much anti football for me

i was thinking 'neanderthal long ball' before kick off but i thought there might be some sort of plan, a vague target area to stage something, but erm, well

I’m finding it difficult to argue with that.

It seemed like anti-football today.

thats with the like of Dawson...Sow. Watson on the pitch.

its been like it all season.

hanging on from the 2nd minute.

Hmm. I was all for resting players to grind out a point at Preston, but this was one for full strength to guarantee our spot and then rest them on Wednesday. No Cash or Lolley? That's a bold decision, but I don't know the status of their injuries in fairness.

Will be interested to hear what Sabri has to say before I jump to conclusions.

I think the reason we don't play like Brentford is that if we did we'd be in the same position as QPR and Reading. Personally I don't mind the negative football, I dont really see us being successful any other way. However the problem Sabri will find is negative football doesn't give you much leeway when the team start playing shit.
