Well, we’ll learn from this! Or maybe not. Good for 35 mins of the game again which in the end was enough. Proper shit 2nd half performance (again). Pope piss poor which in turn made Schär and Burn even more nervous than usual, Bruno poor. Hall great, Miley good for 65 mins. I’d definitely put Pope back on the bench for Wednesday. And tell the team to never, ever ever try and sit on a lead again. Go hell for leather with intensity and press, use subs proactively instead of giving opponents every chance to get back in the game.

PSR against us again.

Pope has been fucking terrible today tbh. Nervous as fuck and makes the whole back line shitter than usual.

Our inability to keep the ball is further enhanced by our ability to give it to opponents in the best possible positions. And if they mess it up we go again.

Really looking forward to taking this performance and mentality (at least the first 45 mins of it) to Anfield. 🫣

Let’s get a fifth and put this to bed sharpish. Step the fuck up.

The sad thing is that this isn’t really surprising. We’ve done this too many times. Against both better and worse sides than Forest. We don’t seem to learn which is a bit scary to say the least.

Pretty sure you are. This ain’t the first time we’re in this position. 😅

For the first 18 months under Eddie we went after another goal every time. Since then we have started trying to ”be smart” and it’s fucking frustrating. We give teams the initiative and here we are. Nervy last 30 mins. Fucking hell.

Same here. Frustrating as fuck. We do it too often tbh.

Typical 2nd half when in a lead performance from us so far. Stand off, sit back, give away the ball. Rinse and repeat. Nervy.

Fucking get in! Murph! ❤️

Deserved. Let’s do them now.

The thing is. Pope has let in so many poor goals this season. We really should’ve just stuck with Dubs. Also has a clanger in him of course but can at least pass the ball to the right player. Pope hasn’t been the same since his shoulder injury. Glue factory material unfortunately.

What the fuck is Pope doing. That positioning is probably the worst I’ve seen since Alnwick had his go.
