Poor poor result.Feels like a loss.

Learn't f*ck all from last season at home..did not put em away despite enough chances to score at least 3/4 goals then our fragile defence does what it does best..concede a very sloppy goal.

We should have had a cert penalty but we can't blame the officials for that result..self inflicted

Fuming to be honest as in this division you can not afford to gift away points especially to poor teams like forest.

Like I said earlier, it's going to be like this for every single home game, teams coming to battle for a point, sitting deep and hoping to hit us on the break or take advantage of one of our (reasonably regular) daft mistakes. I absolutely agree that at home we need more flair, so Costa (especially on the evidence of today's brief appearance) has to be more involved, and lets hope Nketiah has that bit of X factor that Bamford, for all his extra endeavour, doesn't have.

[Rev72]

Bamford is fitter and looks a little more interested than last season, but by fk he's not a striker striker. Some of his touches and decision making were woeful. I hope he comes good, but don't think he will be central to getting us promoted.

Think we are gonna regret letting Roofe go.

good money for an injury prone player in the last year of his contract Rev. Cant understand why we didnt sign a striker though, MB already saying we need a million chances to score...exactly like last season.

Thats my point bud..selling and not replacing..what a difference a Dwight Gale would have made in a game like this?

[asturianblanco]

trying hard to like Bamford, his goals to games ratio is good, but he doesnt suit our style, and my 2 Pugs have more grace with the ball at their feet.

[ColombianWhite]

There we have it and that is how it is going to continue so get used to it.
It was a scrappy goal to give away but we have no dominating centre half to clear a ball like that. The dogs in the street know that.
And Bamford just needs a slice of the luck that Grabban had.

Fecking through that away

Costa should have been on earlier

only 5 loans in the squad so someone has to drop out to let Nketiah in

MOT

Must admit I can't believe the Ref did not give a pen for the foul on Dallas it was blatant as feck!

[asturianblanco]

Is converting chances the main issue to fix this season?

"I understand your question.

Because in the previous game we did the same chances as the opponent. We scored goals, they didn’t score. Then it allowed us to have clear winning.

To score the chances that one team create, you cannot say this can be a different target because it’’s part of the game.

Of course, our possibilities to win if we are more able to increase the goals we score.

<Would you like to score more then this season?>

I would say yes, then finish this conversation. But improve the finishing of each action is something that we can only link with aspects that you are watching incorrectly. This modelling with the type of game, with the advantage that the opponent gives to us with the clarity of the players to have the chance to finish this action, we can say to you, the players assembled today had chances but did not score. It’s not because of the training where this situation repeats again and again.

In the first half we had a lot of possibilities to put the ball on the side, largely from the full-backs but we didn’t have a clear connection with the player crossing and the player who needs to finish. At the same time we had four players in the box. It might be something that you can improve. We created 10 chances, enough to win the game. In the previous pass we fought to finish, we are training from 15 months ago, but you don’t have a clear realisation between training and on the pitch. Because after the game you have a lot of things you can’t control."

Wtf??? lost in translation maybe? or just gobbledegook!
