@ethanlamb01 Out of our hands, they have the option.

Arnaud Kalimuendo scoring his 5th Bundesliga goal of the season for Frankfurt this afternoon. Can’t wait for him to return to the City Ground this summer. #NFFC

Level of lie: shameless.

@AgeofAnge I hope it wasn’t the ‘don’t bother practicing or defending them’ approach he had at Forest.

Ange Postecoglou is cooking up a 'new plan' to break the mould of boring, set-piece football 👀

@kylebooth3186 @nottmtails Exactly, Bakwa played RWB in France at times.

@nottmtails Do you not think its Bakwa LWB Ndoye RWB to provide crosses and Hutch in the 2nd 10 ?

Vitor Pereira has shuffled his pack considerably in Denmark #NFFC Sels, Williams, Aina, Murillo, Sangare, Anderson, MGW, Jesus and Aina are all among the substitutes, with one eye on the trip to Tottenham on Sunday, in the Premier League.

@dingdinghopkin @NFFC Yeah Ndoye and Bakwa WBs

@NFFC Looks a 3421 to me

The team news is in. 🗞️

@Rich__1977 @forestmad80 Exactly. A handful at best are bothered if we go down. The majority know they are out the door if we go down (on the cheap to top leagues), and even if we stay up the core will be sold. It’ll be some inquest in the Summer!

@forestmad80 Mate there not arsee look at there reaction to final whistle, couldnt give a toss to busy having a good laugh with fulham players

Not even sure what to say anymore, we can see what the issues are and we don’t need to keep talking about them. When you’re down at the bottom end you just don’t quite get that rub of the green, we were a whisker away from a Ndoye goal and a kitten away from a penalty. I think the players showed heart and desire in the second half and we look a lot more threatening with Ndoye and Awoniyi. If you can’t win then don’t lose and it’s the type of game that I feared we’d lose at the death. Out of the relegation spots and likely to be all three on 29 points by end of play today. We won’t be getting anything easy, we will have to earn every single point and I think we saw some fairly good performances in there today. Goal scoring and set pieces are the issue but we aren’t a bad side. Fully expect us to turn the tie around in Denmark on Thursday and fully expect to beat Spurs next Sunday. It’s the hope. #NFFC

@SabriLamouchi11 Agree with all apart from them getting into the game, which will make the 0-2 even more annoying..

If anyone wants to know how the game today will go: • Forest play well and create at best 2 chances in the first 10. Score 0 of them. • Fulham get into the game. • Sucker punched at HT, 0-1. • We push and push, score 0. • Fulham get a penalty. 0-2. Goodbye. #NFFC

@Dicso82 Not a chance this is 100% true. He’s known for telling players what he expects (sure he did it in the Champ a few times), but no way he can ‘financially suck up a relegation’ and block players leaving. We owe far too much in termination compensation as it is!

Hope this is true!

@H_Sax98 Pretty sure there’s one against Brighton from the first or second season missing from that comp too

This is insane 😂 One of the best players to ever wear the shirt.

@forestmad80 I don’t think he will go 3 at the back. I’d be prepared to see the same formation but with different principles.

Some decisions to be had for Vitor if he goes for his normal 3-4-3 formation. Playing as a three at the back really does mean you need more natural width which is why I think it’s imperative that the natural left foot of Netz in involved. Vitor likes a target man with Strand-Larson thriving in the early days under his tenure so expect Lucca to play that role. Morgan will need a free role. Thought? #NFFC

@danscapephoto I’d read that he moved away from 3 at the back to a 4, and that was the catalyst for how bad it was. Not sure whether he goes back to what he does better (a 3) or whether he gives the squad some familiarity to build from (a 4).

@nathan_cobb It’s all games. This one compares between his time at Wolves. Seemed to revert to a very direct style in his 10 games this season.

Pereira at Wolves compared to Forest last season and Forest under Dyche #nffc Interesting bits: - Decent GK’ing - More possession - Less long ball - More ball carrying (Cunha!) - Less wing play / crosses - Higher pressing than Nuno but < Dyche - Chance creation lowest of the bunch though

@wt_analysis Yeah agreed, it wasn’t intended as a dig..

@nathan_cobb I always say that when analysing players you should only use data as part of the analysis accompanied with your eyes, and I have always stated whether my opinions are based on data, eye tests or both.

Ola Aina action map for #NFFC v #WWFC The data suggests Aina had a really good game but I don't think that matches the eye test. He was one of many who seemed reluctant to join the attack, and was absolutely gassed after an hour and should've been subbed off. He also needs a word in his ear to stop with these long range shots in frustration - it's all well and good banging one in when you're 2-0 up against West Ham last season, but this is not a smart option when you're trying to seize control of matches.

@forestmad80 The players know they’ll have various PL-level moves waiting if/when we go down. The scale of rebuild in the summer should we go down will be bigger than when we came up.

✅ Worst set pieces in the league. ✅ We don’t score goals. ✅ We have a manager with no tactical know how. ✅ We make peculiar in game decisions. ✅ Issues behind the scenes with Edu. ✅ Likely to be 4th manager of the season soon. ✅ Recruitment utterly diabolical. ✅ Dire football, genuinely horrendous to watch. ✅ Crowd has turned and fans divide is noticeable. ✅ Players don’t seem to give a shit. ✅ Zero creativity in our midfield area, Sangare/Ando are useless in final third as is Neco/Aina. This isn’t even the full comprehensive list but it’s the type of list that screams of relegation and we’d have no one to blame but ourselves. First things first can we please get Dyche back in Rock City so we can at least close this chapter! #NFFC

@AnalyticsForest @CallumCastel7 And that’s the nail on the head - it’s the wider management that leads to performances/moments like what we’ve seen tonight.

@CallumCastel7 No not really. But he refused to utilise a guy that would have converted it who isn’t at the club anymore.

Can anyone blame Dyche for our players fucking up a 7 v 2

@NFFC__Cam Doesn’t take long to figure him out when he’s only got one move..

Callum Hudson Odoi this season by the way, been absolutely useless

@forestmad80 If we didn’t have the free weekend I could see him getting away with it, but with the gap being there, I don’t see how he’s in post by midnight. That being said, I don’t think some of those players are exempt from serious questioning too..

Nope, that’s enough we can’t be doing this anymore. I expect Mr. Marinakis to do the right thing and yield the axe on Dyche. We cannot shoot, we cannot cross, we cannot take a set piece and we cannot back ourselves to be brave nor courageous. Percentage football is fucking dire and I cannot watch anymore of that. Get gone and get Maresca, De Zerbi, Carsley, Joyce/Reidy or Minnie fucking Mouse for all I care. FA cup weekend so gives us a chance to make the switch before our game in Turkey. Anyone but Dyche and his anti football. If you are sticking with him then we WILL go down, it really is that simple. One thing for sure is this. Whatever league we are playing in next season, this entire shit show of a season needs a full scale review as it’s been utterly shambolic from start to finish. The season that offered hope, opportunity and European adventures has left us deflated, angry and disappointed. Real shame. #NFFC

@SparkyClark @NFFC No, Cunha would at least be in his natural position.

@NFFC Dyche was criticised for throwing Zach in against Leeds and he appeared a little out of his depth. Playing Cunha would have been a similar risk. Morato, whilst a different risk, does have a certain level of experience

Taking on Wolves tonight. 📋

@AnalyticsForest I don’t get the Abbott over Netz call at all. It’s not like FB in a Dyche system is a complicated role to play..

You simply can’t end a window, one where you’ve thrown around big bids for players and end up with this back 4 in a relegation 6 pointer. Backup has been thin since the summer. It’s pretty unforgivable. Netz had to be ready to go and if you think he was and the manager doesn’t…something has to give. #NFFC
