After the five nil drubbing last night, Forest may come out fighting. But will they have a new manager by then?
Wolves 2 Forest 0
Lemina
Wolves host another struggling side. Forest have lost four in a row, conceding 12 goals during the losing streak and scoring 4. We got four points off them last season. Three points this weekend and Wolves would feel very comfortable with their pace so far.

A game on paper we should have won but could have easily lost. If anyone knows why we struggle to beat teams in the relegation zone, but can take points off the Sky Six , please write to the Manager.
Forest made many changes to the side thumped by Fulham in midweek and also changed their formation. We started off in a similar way to our match against Burnley, slow almost walking football. plenty of passing across the back, with little forward movement.
Nico Williams, who was a thorn in our side all of the game, created the Forest goal after a hesitant Sa got caught in no mans land. This seemed to spark us into life and the tempo increased, leading to a good team goal by Cunha.
It was again a very cold day with a very gusty wind which must have effected the play on both sides. Both sides had chances to increase the score but the half time whistle went at stalemate. The second half followed the pattern of the the first if a little slower pace. Forest rattled the cross bar and we created a goalmouth scramble, which was hacked clear. Hwang was bundled over in the penalty area but nothing was given. While at the other end Sa redeemed himself with a couple of good saves.
The game was crying out for changes, they had no striker but we persisted in playing with a back four when another striker was needed for us. Lemina and Gomes break up most of the attacks but we needed a Doyle to create the killer pass. I don't normally say anything against O'Neil, but yesterday he, in my humble opinion, managed his subs all wrong. The game was there for Sasha but bringing him on in injury time was a total waste.
Toti did not have his best game and young Bueno had a torrid time out wide. We do miss Neto and also Ait Nouri, the sooner they are back the better.
Four points out of a possible six is not a disaster but it feels like two lost. Next Sunday the side will need too up their game if we are to get anything at West Ham.

not seen the match , so cannot say owt about it..but reading on it ,sounds as if one point
was much appreciated..another step towards safety..
Toti was woeful, as he was against Burnley. His passing has been atrocious and the Forest goal started with one. He's better without the ball than with it!
