Chill out...perspective required...!

Tonight was their cup final so to speak. Win to secure staying up. They pressed us high and were brilliant in the first half.

Regis should have changed it sooner and stopped playing it out from the back to negate their high press imo, but we live and learn.

It's always best to be a realist. Tonight was a reality check for the people who think our players are worth £70m a piece etc. We have achieved what we set out to do this season. But some of our players still have a lot to learn.

We should just be glad that we can come out of there tonight and lose 5-0 and not be worried about going down. Their tactics were spot on and Regis was too slow to go to plan B. Nevermind onto next week.

Keep the faith...

It was, but it's football...and it's one game. I expected to be losing games every week at home when we were promoted.

As others have said...the reaction next week is more important!

We have seen better presses against us this season.

I thought forest was bang avg.

First goal was a fluke.

Second was a miskick by the keeper, we have seen him take and touch and pass out 99 out of 100 time no issues all season, then we just lost our heads for a crazy 6 mins.

After that even though we were shocking we still did better than them.

Last goal was just a kick in the nuts because the midfield just give up and Ballard was upfront.

It happens, its a damn shame because the team has done really well in the main this season, Son said the team was ill last week, maybe this has played a part?

either way we move on and I still feel we have a chance for a top 10 finish, if we play dog shit against wolves might get a little ore concerned that something is going wrong behind the scenes, but for now, putting this down to just one of the crazy nights that happen.

fuck off
 
It was c.ear Forest game plan was that high press which worked great for them, but I do also think we were very sloppy on the ball at the back and right through midfield when not under any real pressure.
 
Dominated the first 15 mins. You could argue if we released Sadiki who was in acres on the left numerous times on the counter, or some simpleton in the stand hoying another ball on the pitch we’d have capitalised and got our noses in front.

Fell to bits after they scored.

It's been that way all season though hasn't it? It's the way he sets up and has worked for the most part...

Aye, not arsed about it this season so much with it allowing us to survive.

It'll get boring very quickly if it's the plan next season though
 
I was genuinely gutted on Sunday. Could easily have been one of the PLs greatest comebacks.

Tonight was very weird. Just wasn’t a 5-0 game. They scored 4 in what, 25 minutes. 3 of them had a lot of luck attached. Complete freak result for me. Hey ho. See what happens next four games as none of us know….
 
This team has been amazing this season but not immune to criticism. Set the tone with the sadiki pass when it was 0-0 or Our records signing having zero influence on the game. After his miss at villa I thought he'd be fired up for today. More than happy if the season ended now but the lack of effort tonight has been concerning
