O/T:- Whoops

Switched on Radio Nottm at the end of the game and thought the Queen had died again.

At least I can enjoy MOTD tomorrow

Watched the highlights. Free header from a corner for Fulham’s first, amazing shot for the second, and absolutely awful defending for the third.

You could say Yates was at fault for all three, which would be a little unfair. But he was certainly partly responsible for all three.

On the flip side, we’re playing Dorking Wanderers tomorrow in a league game.

Forests very quick premiership demise after decades of waiting and the fan reaction is the funniest thing I have seen in a long time and I am enjoying every single minute of it. I just hope they sack Cooper replace him with a manager on big money go down and have an even bigger wage bill to contend with in the championship. Its a ridiculous way to try and build a side and I am laughing laughing laughing at them.

Some Forest fans messaging Radio Nottingham calling for Steve Cooper's head! Who says they're a fickle lot?!

Usually happens, doesn't it? Promotion managers are gone when it looks like being followed by relegation from the Premier.

It's a desperate roll of the dice though and more often than not fails. With their fixtures coming up, Cooper may be gone within a month.

Looks like it's going to be one of those seasons, what will this look like by the end?

Their demise is inevitable. Dennis Rissoles is to blame with his arrogant and pointless spending spree. This will keep on giving, as they will not be able to afford the wages next year in the Championship. It will be like Derby but worse. There is a God.

I’m not sure the financial struggle would be that significant. They have paid out a huge sum on transfers, the majority of which has been paid for by TV revenue. When in all likelihood they go down this TV money doesn’t disappear - Norwich finished bottom of the Prem last season and walked away with a smidge over 100m in prize money.
Forests top earner in Jesse Lingard will be long gone. Many of the foreign imports will jump ship and in many cases will go back to the leagues they have come from.
Forest and the fans will once again rely on players like Yates, Worrall and Johnson - all of which are massively out of there depth in the Prem.

I caught the last 10 minutes of the game and Cooper seemed to be feeling the pressure on the touchline by the end. Their “sign-sign-sign” summer approach always meant they were likely to need time to gel - but home defeats against Bournemouth and Fulham from winning positions is not a good look.

I’d wait until the end of October, when they have six games (Leicester away, Villa home, Wolves away, Brighton away, Liverpool home and Arsenal away), before making any predictions on where they might finish. There are plenty of average teams in this league, and they just need to be better than three of them.

One thing their fans are having to get used to other than conceding goals - not playing at 3pm on a Saturday. A few Sunday/Friday games already, and only Wolves is a 3pm kick-off next month.

Could be wrong but I thought the commentary said 160 million on 22 players.

Probably, their fans claim they needed to sign all those player because of loan players last season, how many did they have on loan? Thought you could only have 5 in your matchday squad?

I was watching and thoroughly enjoying an excellent series on Netflix but couldn't resist checking the score every so often and disappointed to read they were winning 1-0.

I checked again mid way through the second half hoping that Fulham had equalised and was delighted to see they had managed 3 in under 6 minutes.

It's still early days and some very winnable games coming up but no getting away from it they are two disastrous results at home to their fellow promoted sides and expected relegation rivals this season. Especially when you are leading both at half time.

The predicted 50:50 of them staying up this season is already looking a 'stretch'.
