To be fair he had Forest playing an extremely well drilled counter attacking tactic that shithoused the top teams- that was Sabri’s doing.
How do we expect after a 2 week preseason and 9(?) new players that he’s going to have drilled an new all singing attacking formation and style? The Covid lockdown only compounds it
He needs time- and he needs to feel like he has. If we do get fringe players shipped out and he has a more compact side he’ll be able to manage the players he has.
We need to appreciate that the transition is not snap of the fingers!

The aim is promotion - 0 points from 6 is already a massive gap. We can’t wait 10 games and then play catch up if that is our aim. I agree that the second half was much better but that is 3 games where we have stood off and waited until that have scored before we have done anything positive ourselves. All you need to do to score against us is a big shot house centre forward and play direct - the league is full of these...
I do wonder if Blackett was going to start and that is why Worrall played at RCB. Al late injury and all the training ground work undone and figgs pissed off as he was going to be dropped.
We have become incredibly easy to play against.

Can't see how anyone would describe second half as 'inspired'. It was better that the first but to have matched that would have been a challenge in itself.
The reality that should be dawning on most is that we have now lost 5 on the trot. We have yet to score a goal and are very leaky at the back. We have been insipid since February and 45 minutes playing okay at home when we are already 2-0 down is not my definition of inspired. A draw would have been worthy of inspired. Not playing any worse or conceding a 3rd or 4th simply doesn't fall into inspiring category

We are worse now than when he took over.

Beyond hoping for better and him being a nice, well dressed guy there is no reasoned argument for keeping him. Simply giving him more time has no basis in evidence.

I don’t think he has any idea. His usual plan A hasn’t worked for months. Now he is trying anything. Dropping and selecting players seemingly at random. I think he’s desperate. Nothing is working. Running out of time.

I didn't say our second half performance was inspiring. I said Sabri inspired a BETTER second half performance and he did.

He’s like a rabbit staring into headlights.
He is starting to sound like a beaten man - difficult in that situation to motivate players.
Sadly there looks to be only one outcome.

I do wonder if his conduct at the end of the season has left a sour taste with some
