Barnsley - Nottingham Forest

[Colnago]

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.

It seemed like anti-football today.

why do forest have a concentration problem in extra time..?

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

what the hell is going on?

its been like it all season.

hanging on from the 2nd minute.

That’s how the manager wants us to play

That was appalling! To set up with 3 centre backs was always going to draw the opponents on. Added to the fact that the midfield was so lightweight, running about like headless chickens.
It’s clear to me that neither Sow, Da Costa, Silva and co. are not good enough to get us promoted.
Thought Lamouchi missed a trick by not bringing Mighten on as soon as we went into stoppage time.
I just cannot imagine seeing this lot playing in the prem.

The result doesn’t bother me - I predicted a Barnsley win so no real surprise.
But to set up in the way we did & ( fail to ) perform in that manner is simply unacceptable - and represents the kind of performance that gets managers sacked.

If that's how the manager want us to play then we have the wrong manager for this club, I think Sabri has been great for our club this season, but and it's a very big but the football is shite and unbelievably negative. End of season the big man will have to dig deep into his pockets so that we can bring REAL quality into the squad to enable the manager feel confident to be able to actually take teams on both home and away.

If you set up to defend your box for 90 mins and proceed to concede corners, free kicks on the edge and allow crosses to come in constantly it is surely no surprise if we concede eventually.
Add to that a midfield that cannot control or pass the ball.
I am so disappointed with Lamouchi’s football philosophy.
Not surprised that Leeds have shown the way to achieve success. Good players in every position, a strong bench and attractive football, as much as I hate them.
Let’s hope for something better for us next season in the Championship.
There is absolutely no chance of promotion with this lot.

I can’t agree, we have lost our winning mentality. 

it’s the reason we are in fifth rather than higher, we have come away with draws at Hillsbrough, Pride Park and Deepdale lauding them as good points. 

We need to  change our mindset, a win today would have made a big difference.

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.

He sounded down and depressed.

How many times prior to the COVID break did we play with a midfield three of Sow, Watson and Yates?

I have to agree with that.

sticks in my throat but Leeds stuck with it, a bit of swagger and style.

I think we are in the bottom three of the form guide for the last six games?
