Changes between right wing and playing up top alongside Gallagher. He can't trap the ball, he cant beat a player , he can't head the ball, he can't find a team mate with a pass, he can't find space on the box. I have never seen anyone so bereft.

Also Brereton has to be taken off.

Decent midfield play undone by horrendous defending and finishing. Bit of a pattern here. We really need full backs and a striker who actually can score.

This is bizarre, defenders used the ball very well today I thought (defending diabolical though), and the mids. The issue firmly lay with the strikers offering very little.

Very odd game... We totally dominated and should have won easily on territory and possession. After the 30th minute Forest let us have the ball over and over again, and we used it pretty well through the middle and out wide. That said in both boxes we were abysmal. All 3 of their goals were easily preventable. With better finishing they would have scored 5. In their box while we created chance after chance no one got on the end of them, or if they did they couldn't finish Downing apart. Sort of game which you would be disappointed by but take a lot of encouragement from early in a managers reign as you would see the poor defending and finishing as "fixable problems". But we've seen this so many times, and Mowbray does not seem to have an effective plan to remediate. Time to go To Mo.

We look so much more threatening without Brereton on.

We've had 67% of possession away from home...

Just owned Ameobi!

We've definitely played the best today since Bristol City in terms of all round play. We've actually been quite good in midfield. But then we defend abysmally and lack threat up front. Which is concerning.

For the last half dozen games. Before that he was poor. Definitely need to find an alternative.

Best player by miles today though.

He's gone as far as he can I think. Same basic defensive and offensive issues have not been resolved despite significant investment and a decent amount of time.

Rothwell runs across and backwards on the pitch more than any player I have ever seen.

Totally dominated first 10 mins of half, Forest have one attack and we concede....

Looks like they have come out complacent. Let's get Graham on ASAP.

Agreed. He hadn't had a good game, just not excerably horrible like every time I have seen him. Id get Graham on for Brereton - I think he could score today looking at the shape of the game. Gallagher will just run around a lot a la Brereton.

I think Forest have lost their discipline and it's helping us out. Standard 2 goal up complacency. Hopefully they come out with a similar attitude. After around 30mins Tosin, Lenihan, Travis, Downing started getting a lot of space which they didn't have earlier.

Brereton has easily had his best game for us but we still need Graham on. Downing has been exceptional. Forest are dropping off.. could get something from this.

We've probably been the better team on the ball. But what's the point if you can't score and give goals away. Edit - annnd we score a beaut!

Brereton... Dropping out of the box as we crossed it in.

Spoke too soon... They are getting tight now.

Few things more frustrating than your only striker refusing to go in the box.

On the plus side Forest seen like they aren't that interested in pressing us. We might be able to pass it a bit.

451 I think today?

To be fair we were absolutely terrible over the last few games so I can sympathise with changes. Sheer volume of changes is huge though. Points to the fact we just don't know what our best team.
