    Very frustrating. We’re not that far away from being a competent Championship side but we just can’t seem to find that final pass or shot. How long can we continue like this until their confidence is shot completely and we get worse? We’re not a bad side (I think we’ve had one true poor half in the league, at home vs Luton) but we just can’t catch a break at the minute.

    You also have to look at the opposition we’re facing. The gulf in quality between us and most teams in this division is astonishing. We know this by now, obviously, but it never gets easier to accept does it?

    Look on the bright side. Our 7-0 hammering at Old Trafford has just moved down another place in the history books.

    I'm already sick of seeing us try but not score. Our final ball makes me want to cry with frustration. I'm done with this until they bother to learn how to put a decent ball in and finish chances. Can't be bothered wasting money on them if they continue to waste opportunities.

    We aren’t good enough, pretty clear to me sadly.

    We are a long way away from being a Championship side. Forest are competent nothing more.

    We play some good football worlds apart from the dress dross under hecky and Jose, we just cant score need to pick up some points sharpish. Forest are a decent side.

    I think we made Forest look very average, we did a lot right. But we also looked completely toothless first half. Second half we should've scored at least one from the opportunities we had. We did more than enough to win that game.

    The trouble in this league is that if you don't take your chances, the other team will punish you. Forest didn't look up to much as a team, whether that was down to us stopping them or they're just poor is debatable. But it doesn't matter, because they have quality individuals. Look at the money they've spent on their squad. It's insane.

    I’d agree there it’s difficult for us to compete on that basis.

    Yeah mid table is competent. We with the bottom 6 / 8 clubs are less able. The top end are miles ahead. I have no idea where the goals are going to come from. Disappointing day and I’m driving and this sober.

    Same as most teams in this league bamford 10 million,mitrovic 24 million our most expensive player? Wilkes? Halme? 1.1 million, it's hard for us.

    No matter how much the players cost we have had enough chances in games to be sitting a bit further up the ladder.

    The better player you attract the better they will be in making that final decision on shot it pass. We have a team filled with maybes they generally choose the wrong option

    Still hed enuff chances Jim to have got more points, though what you say can be right Bamford and Mitrovic at 34m looked like 2 newbies who we might have signed in the Summer from lower darn the pyramid.

    Just feeling a bit despondent atm. Can’t fault our effort we just lack any sort of quality.
