Well some good news, Reid and Hobbs are back in training and might play a part before the new year's out, so it'll be interesting to see just how much of an influence these 2 really have.

That's the Championship Rev. A run of good form is overdue, and maybe the new year will see us moving in the right direction again.
It's an odd division.
Annoying to say the least today especially against Leeds, you couldn't tell I was bit tetchy there

Why didn't the fourth official get involved in our ruled out goals?
Assumed it was all the rage these days.........🙈
I'm afraid other sides have worked out how to stop Forest winning.
Get some really bad officials to rob us every game.
We were cheated out of a win today - and why did we not get a penalty just before the first wrongly disallowed goal when Fryatt was hauled over in the box?
At Birmingham the ref signalled three times for a corner, then was persuaded to consult the 4th official and gave a penalty against us. At Rotherham Blackstock's goal was disallowed for climbing on a defender, when nine times out of ten it would have been given.
Today TWO good goals disallowed and the other side given a soft penalty.
Just have to hope it turns round and we get some dodgy decisions in our favour, because those three decisions have cost us five points.
It has gone against the Reds a few times recently but Forest weren't good enough against a very average Leeds team. Just have to take our medicine.
Got to say that Fox was so poor tonight. As well as the massively avoidable penalty, he was one of Leed's highest pass completion players. No clue when it comes to distributing the ball. Please let this be his last start in a Garibaldi shirt...
You were very unlucky with the disallowed goals, but it wasn't a soft penalty. If your defender sticks out a leg in the box and doesn't get the ball, it's not the attackers responsibility to jump over it.
Byram may well have drawn the foul, but look at the defender not the ref for that one. 9 out of 10 refs give that.

So the yellow beard didn't sway you then?

Although I disagree on the lineup you're confusing your ongoing opinion of things to what would have been going through the managers mind based on a few things you see and lots you don't.
It has been mentioned this week that the way we're playing doesn't match the way the manager is wanting for starters. Maybe cause in itself to shuffle the pack?

Very odd Rev. I guess Dex deserved to keep his place and clearly Fryatt should start so he was being fair to those two.

That was the piece that threw me. on the right wing we had a right back and on the left we had a forward - unsurprisingly then, we looked nowhere going forwards on the right and Fox never had enough cover at left back. Drop Macienne back (sweeper?) and put a right winger on the right.
Not exactly rocket surgery or brain science, is it?
Thought it was a bold selection aimed at competing better physically and in the air. We were bigger and stronger in a tightly-contested midfield, and had strikers winning the ball in the air and flicking on for each other. Had Blackstock stayed on, I'd suggest he'd have had more impact than Britt did second half.

They said slight injury when he went off, hopefully that's right.
With our squad I'd start 4-4-2 every game to be honest (or related setup 4-1-3-2 etc). But then again I would make a w4nk manager, amount of times I used to switch football manager off when on bad run to stop it saving
