I like Cash, but fuck me, how many times does he get loads of space down the right and never whip a ball in? always backwards inside to Konsa.

On Zaniola, I’m going to say now that I don’t think it’s going to work for him here and I’m not sure he’s really capable of cutting it in the premier league. Was also disappointed that he decided to stop tracking his man who scored Forest’s first goal.

Yeah, thought both Duggie and Zaniola didnt put nearly enough effort into closing the space to block the shot

Has someone hacked me?! I definitely didn’t say that!

No, no you didn't. Leon did. apologies

No idea how I managed to quote you.

No worries 😌

It’s pretty obvious where we need to strengthen. Just a question of finance and sentimentality.

Need the same depth at right back as left back.

Zaniolo and Bailey are adequate subs, but no more.

When we have buendia and JJ available, this will become reality.

Watkins is good but he needs competition. If Kane was playing for us today, we would have won.

Martinez- difficult one. I’m sure we can do better, but we could do a lot worse. Not a priority.

But I was under the impression he often went down the right and he liked to attack

I thought that he played the ball back far too early, he could have got us up the pitch another 20 yards but didnt. If he did that, then the long Xfield to Digne could have been more effective.

We currently have no backup for Right Back and Left Back so we do currently have the same depth.

Zaniolo and Bailey are adequate subs, but no more.

When we have buendia and JJ available, this will become reality.

Well we have to wait probably a year for Buendia and no idea on JJ whose feet have suddenly become fine china. But Bailey normally plays the other side then them.

Watkins is good but he needs competition. If Kane was playing for us today, we would have won.

If Kane was playing for us, he would have left us years ago when we got relegated. However currently there is no way we would be purchasing a Kane level striker ahead of a lot of currently better teams in Europe. However Spurs also lost plenty of games like today with Kane in the side.

Martinez- difficult one. I’m sure we can do better, but we could do a lot worse. Not a priority.

Better then a the current goalie of the World Champions, and Ballon D'Or winner? Really narrows down the field to about two, one of which might not want to leave Man City.

As he consistently did it, was it team orders?

We rarely ran past the defender or even passed by the last defender and therefore made it easy for Forest to defend.

That Martinez comment is absolute bonkers. Why do some people lose some kind of rational thinking when we lose a game of football?

It’s all bit nuts that a defeat, a very rare thing for us nowadays has created this much content and borderline hysteria by some. Defeats are always disappointing but it’s not like we’re on some sort of death spin run of bad performances. It’s the first in a good while.

Forest had stacked their box with big lumps so Im not sure crossing from deep was ever going to work. granted our best chance was off a McGinn cross. Alan Smith was saying on co comm that Cash was carrying a knock second half. He didnt look right anyway, fell over like he was drunk in our box second half. Kamara and Konsa didnt fare much better.

Cash is ok going forward, fine assist v Brighton but could do more. Has no competition for his spot.

We'd have won with Olsen in goal, hopefully he starts the next few games.
