Do agree to some extent. Obviously it was a bad performance and it loses 7 or 8 times out of 10, regardless of the opponent, but it wasn't apocalyptically bad. Every bounce went Forest's way for a start; it's mad we couldn't force another one in, and the xG backs that up.

 

Yeh nothing was dropping for us, one of those games. Bad performance by our standards, but in terms of the game itself they weren't that much better than us.

 

Probably go and win these tricky fixtures now,

Quite a run of poor form. Since we beat Man Utd, 1-0 at home in early December probably one of the best team performances of the season, we have:

Lost 3-0 away to a Tier 3 team (Everton)

Lost 4-1 away to a Tier 2 team (Spurs)

Lost 2-1 at home to Milan to exit European competition 

Won 3-0 home to Tier 3 team (Fulham, who were down to 10 men from 22nd minute) 

Drew/Lost away to Tier 2 Chelsea in Caribou 

Lost 1-0 away to a Tier 4 team (Luton) 

Lost 3-1 home to Tier 4 team (Forest). 
 

Losing 6 out of 7 winnable games. It’s been a while since we have had such a poor run of form. 

And what tier would we be in? Asking for a friend.

[Sandro Tonali]

Wood playing like prime Benzema, Forest defence thinking they're 90's Milan. One of those days and tbh one of those months. You can see Eddie's processes of working with players needs to adapt to playing more than once a week for extended periods. We will be back in 2024

Tier 1 last season. This season… fuck knows.

[mush]

Hopefully with Botman back we can get him and Schar settled into a solid partnership again.

 

It's probably no coincidence we've looked a little suspect at the back with having to swap out CBs the last few games.

 

Botman will take a little bit to get back up to speed

[Pancrate1892]

It's going to get worse until it gets better. Unfortunately that means getting absolutely murdered by the Scouse cunts and defeat to the mackems is a strong possibility.

 

We will come back after the break and bounce back, but a lot of damage is going to be done. 

Unfortunately this season is fucked, mainly because of luck with injuries and way too many games in a short space of time

It was odd because it was obvious that the way to get at us was down the flanks. We have 2 slow FBs. They did exactly that. We didn’t adjust or make any changes to protect ourselves. We just did what we did harder and that left more gaps.

Trips positioning has been suspect for a while. He’s often too far up the pitch and when we lose the ball he can’t recover his position.

Burn is just so slow. Was caught out easily. 
 

Later our midfield shape disintegrated and NF just played through the middle of us without anyone within 10 yards of a player receiving the ball.

 

This wasn’t a bad day at the office. This is a systemic problem.

 

Love EH but he’s too loyal to the older players. If Hall had had a 1st half like Burn’s he’d have been hooked double quick.

 

Trips really needs some time away. 
 

At the moment our identity is being tactically inflexible and pressing in a way that leaves bus lanes all over the pitch for the opposition to trundle down.

 

I don’t think we’ve reached our nadir yet either. I expect us to pick up form at some point. I also think EH should not fear for his job. Fresh look at the situation in the summer.

[HaydnNUFC]

Whey, that was fucking lifting. Worst league result of Howe's tenure. Wood hattrick ffs

[mush]

Mackems couldn't have wished for a better time to face us

[SAK]

Needs some January reinforcements at the start of the window and the likes of Barnes, Murphy, Big and Little Joe, and Lascelles back asap. Might still be able to salvage something. Howe needs to be pragmatic, we’re not beating ‘pool in our current form. Keep it tight at the back, don’t overcommit in attack by flooding forward, retain possession, play for the draw.

[Jaqen]

It was absolutely shocking but worth remembering we'd won 7 in a row at home before this and it's only the third side to beat us at home in the league in nearly 2 years. 

 

Whole team just looks like they need a month off.

A spanking off Liverpool and a loss to the Mackems and I think Howe gets the boot

[SUPERTOON]

That game highlighted the reason we need a proper number 6 as well.

Is it just me that wants to see a team photo after that?

And that will impact transfer windows, won’t look an attractive option to qualify players

Should have told Chelsea that in the summer.

Chelsea’s reputation given exploits in Europe over last 15 years, 

[Pancrate1892]

At least nobody will bid 100m for Bruno at this rate. Or try and buy anybody else 

 

We'd be giving Fraser a run out of the cunt was still here

[El Prontonise]

Who said they liked this early kick off?

Not really a revelation that our fanbase is full of babies. Same people who "supported the team, not the regime" no doubt.
