Forest 1 v Aston Villa 1 Post Match Dirge Thread.

[purpletrousers]

For all his faults Deans teams were invariably pleasing to watch. This bloke has basically strangled any semblance of attacking style from us.  A dreadful ‘style’ under a dreadful Manager.

Yep. I’m done. It’s crept up on me, but I have to acknowledge for all my moaning about games being shifted to a Sunday so I can’t go due to the Mrs working, I’m getting far too accepting of it/being secretly relieved. There are not the green shoots.

Only worth twisting if we’ve got a better option, give the Poch the big bucks to spend.

I thought it was ok until we got to in or around the box and then we didnt have a clue. Their keeper did'nt make a save I don't think. His interview after the game came across to me anyway as a man who knows he might be on his way out.

I can't agree, everything up until the box was played in front of them with little tempo or movement which meant almost every ball into the box was trying to thread a needle and premier league defenders are generally too good to get caught out by that.

I'd honestly rather have far less possession than we had tonight because as soon as teams let us have the ball we look fucking shite.

Purslow has made one bad decision. I think he has credit in the bank.    Agree.

He made two bad decisions. Sacked Dean Smith and appointed a fake sheikh.

[ChicagoLion]

The reason we are not creating chances is because our football is so slow and predictable.
There is no movement just pedestrian pass sideways backwards repeat.
Then picking the same off form players in the same system.

[Damo70]

This season has been so poor in quality and every match I just hope something clicks into place and a formula is found. Then the match passes and it’s the same slow placed one dimension side void of ideas and confidence.

That was a relegation scrap with two poor teams fighting it out. They sacked Smith for this sort of form so surely he’s gone tomorrow?

I don't think Purslow would be in a hurry to get rid of his head boy.

Probably not but the nod will come from above Purslow. I’m sure it will if he’s going to be stubborn over this mistake.

The worrying thing is we're frittering away lots of winnable games by being too stubborn and sticking with this horrendous mistake we've made. We're going to get a right run of bastard fixtures coming up and we'll get bugger all from them. We're well and truly in a relegation fight already and we're inflicting more damage on ourselves.

Can we please employ a manager who has an actual track record in a decent league? Relegations, 6 month stints,  non league football, French FA, perennially sacked, avoid like the plague. Stop giving fortunes to crap managers.

[devilla]

I made a to do list for our owners.

1: Sack useless scouse chancer.
2: Sack useless chief executive.
3: Hire Pochettino.

100% agreed. I've had enough.

He says we need more quality. Says it all, for me. He's a Bruce in Scouse clothing. Buy more and more expensive players and hope they get you out of a hole, instead of improving the ones you've got.

You're the Head Coach, Steven. How about doing some actual fucking coaching?

I’m not that fussed about whether the Manager coaches or not, but if he doesn’t then he absolutely needs a coaching staff that are top notch and who he allows to work. Whatever is going on at the moment it’s clear that he’s neither coaching or enabling his staff to. It’s not working.

[Bent Neilsens Screamer]

This team under Gerrard couldn’t fight their way out of a paper bag let alone the relegation battle we’re sleepwalking towards if he remains in charge.

[Hillbilly]

On the plus side, we're only 2 wins off the European places.

Stuff Pochettino let's get Diego Simeone and let the fun begin!

I have to say that this concerns me as well. We're averaging 1ppg with a quarter of the season gone, and we've played six of the bottom eight (excluding us).
