Well Mr. Foley has some big issues to sort out or we will be relegated if we continue down the path we travelling at the moment. Big question is GO's game management or lack of it ? Forest were there for the taking and we fluff it all up again, very frustrating

Agree fully. We really should have won this one going away; GO just does not know how to close out games and that is obviously a worry when you are fighting to stay up.

Ask and ye shall receive, both have looked great today, particularly Zemura. Halfway there for Neto ;)

Yeah, but no cigar. But JA and JZ were very strong. Go figure, best game we have played in a long while, scored a goal, took a point ...... and that's the one that drops us into the bottom three.

Dango looks very promising. We need a few injuries back and a couple of new signings. 2 points out of 14th spot, could have been there today.
 
this might be unpopular but I don't think we sat back in the second half we were still going for it but forrest switched things a bit pushed their full backs higher up. and we struggled, if GON wanted to sit on 1-0 maps or senesi would of come on.
for low confidence team I thought we played alright errors still there but much better, GON went brave with his team selection and it nearly paid off.
I'm still in the GON out camp but it was better
 
GON can take some credit for finally realising that we must play JZ and JA together. A few weeks too late. Was also a good decision to play Rothwell.

We were excellent first half and pressed very well, winning a lot of 2nd balls and much better forward play.

However sitting back like that against a Forest side having a shocker was criminal. We threw 2 points away which is crucial given our upcoming fixtures.

This doesn't change things, GOH HAS to go if we want any chance of staying up and we need a manager who can manage a game and hold on to a lead. Our set pieces remain a shambles and we were lucky to not concede from a corner yet again today.

Good debut for Dango. Looks raw but positive. Anthony and JZ were excellent. Rothwell had a strong first half. Nobody had a poor game we just messed it up tactically.
 
I not that upset tbh......I thought we showed forest up for what they are......poor finishing cost us....Kieffer Moore is just a solid championship striker....we won't win another game in this league with him leading the line.
 
Punished for a passive 20 mins second half where Cooper made several changes and O'Neil sat on his hands and let it drift. We looked just about on top for the most part but momentum was only going one way, and punished in the end.

Admitedly O'Neil's bench isn't exactly full of options, which is another issue.
 
Now I'm a big Kieffer Moore fan but I think he's been pretty poor recently. Doesn't seem to offer much and just kind of runs around. He can't hold up the ball well and seems to keep losing Arial balls.
Frustrating to see
 
Think on first impressions and he is still a bit raw we might have got a natural winger with this young Ouattara.

He has a turn of pace and he made the goal for Anthony to break our duck of being the only team before today to not have scored in the PL since the World Cup.

Bit erratic with his two shots but was in the right place to get the chances.

Cleared the ball in our defence to prevent a Forest player from scoring.

Pity about the error which led to their goal from I think it was Kieffer Moore.

Another plus was Neto in goal, not messing around with short goal kicks, straight down field and into their their half of the pitch.

So, so good to see Zemura back on top form.
 
Also think people are being a bit harsh on Moore. Seems like he’s really grafting to try and provide the hard running and availability of Solanke, and first half I thought he did this very well. Unfortunately was poor in the areas that we needed him to be good in. Would’ve come off if we had options.

Just looked at the BBC stats, 36 shots on goal, of which 16 were from AFCB.

AFCB 4 on target against the 5 of Forest.

Also they had Christie as MOM with 7.12, second was Ouattara on 6.04.

What surprised me was Zemura only had 5.57 in eighth place.
