He did sneak you a few wins and draws too Rev. These are the risks of trying to play 1-0 football. All your eggs are in a clean sheet basket.
Sadly, those eggs can make a reyt mess of the sheets.
Would you have settled for stability an organised team and a very close play off push at the start of the season?
Yes, I would have mate
But on the way tonight has planned out brings all the others results and faults more sharply into focus
I just don’t see how he’ll survive such a calamity
‘panned’ not ‘planned‘
Now that was a Freudian slip
It wasn't a sustainable model, the Sabri way. I remember a team gaining promotion like that 13 years ago.
We lost 4 games away all season, but 8 out of 23 at home, those stats alone tell you we could only play counter attacking football, Grabban literally on his own up front somehow managed 20 goals, I have no idea who the next top scorer was but I doubt they would be far into double figures. The last few games were about as bad as watching the tripe Karanka served up. I didn’t expect to slip out of the play offs but at least it’s two less games to try and sit through. I also quite like Sabri as a person but unfortunately his tactics are pretty dire. I imagine Forest next season will be back to yet another rebuild, most likely under yet another new manager, with the likes of Cash, Worrall, who I think has been awful recently, Watson and even Lolley and Brice, who is vastly over rated, all probably left. It’s a shame really because we have definitely moved forward, but this really is a bitter pill to swallow.
The bottom line is Sabri has been good at getting results away from home but when it comes to needing to put teams to the sword he is far to conservative. We need to have different game plans and the ability to play real attacking football at home. playing 1 up front at home does not put the fear of god in to visiting teams.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Totally agree with this too
If it was just about playing defensive counter attacking football, Sabri would be in a class of his own
He is completely and utterly out of his depth when it comes to having a Plan B
It was ‘defend and hope’
And tonight’s result along with all the other injury time goals we’ve conceded will totally overshadow all of the other food that taken place this season

I'm not sure I'd bothering correcting that Rev, it's not good but it is food to some.
Fantastic - a 22nd consecutive season irrevocably lodged in the upper colon of English football. Amongst Forest's multiple malignancies, the fact that not a single manager since the great one was shuffled off into retirement has had any success after leaving the club may be the most telling. Lamouchi will undoubtedly be joining that list. While I'm also as sick of the managerial merry-go-round as the next suicidal, Marinakas needs to gather up his "shipping" lucre and bring in Chris Hughton before he's pegged elsewhere. Otherwise, I hear there's some great managerial talent in Tashkent.
You joined this debacle last week.

You can have Marcelo, he's rubbish
....nahh, only kidding. See you in, like, never
Part of the reason we nearly made playoffs is because the league has been so poor this year. A lot of teams under achieved for sure.
There is no way it will be that poor next season. There will be some teams coming down who will certainly have more spending power than us and they won’t need to hugely change their squads. Plus teams like Derby who surely won’t be as bad as they were this season. It will be very tough for sure.
We will either need to spend big or get a very good manager in or both otherwise we could be in trouble. I doubt we will do either really.
If we don’t make big changes to the squad my concern is there will be a hangover from this result.
I think that fact that since the lockdown, all we tried to do was cling onto a playoff place. Nothing more than that. It was the wrong attitude and meant when we needed to turn it round we couldn’t. We should have been going for the most points we could get, not just aiming for “one more point”. We should have attacked teams like Barnsley and Swansea. That what we did before the lockdown. I know we were still conservative but we still attacked and tried to win games. The team and a manger just got nervous and started to park the bus. That was never going to work cause the defence is awful at times.
When we equalised again Stoke we started knocking it round the back like we had made it. Ridiculous. Once we were behind we were totally done. You could see it. The mentality was just badly wrong for the last few weeks

Yes I think the mental effect in some players could be immense
It also pains me to say it, and cannot believe that within the space of a 30 minute window last night, the manager has gone from amazing success material or possible sackable fodder - I just cannot believe the magnitude of catastrophe to what what happened, and fear the manager himself may never mentally recover - I hate the managerial merry go round- but in this unique instance, I just don’t see an alternative
I also think Chris Hughton would be a great shout 🤡

I seem to remember one of you Forest numpties telling us not to be cocky about promotion a few months ago. Well guess what. We've been promoted.
Oh, and Forest have finished second only to Brentford for the Championship's biggest bottlers! Well done!

He's dead. How's Joia Nuno Da Costa?
West Brom also bottled it of course. Only three points from their last four games. The only thing that saved them was that Brentford bottled it even more at the death. But it's an insult to Forest to suggest that any other team surpasses their bottling achievements. 3 points from the last six games including three goals conceded deep into injury time. That's some top quality bottling that is.
