Results Like Last Night Can Happen

[Wrenthorpe Mackem]

You do get games where a team inexplicably collapses for a period of time.
For 20 minutes or so last night that was us and generally managers can’t put their finger on why it happens.
We did apply ourselves well the second half but obviously Forest took their foot off the gas and managed the game well.
It’s hopefully a wake up call for all concerned.

We were
1) Abysmal at dealing with the high press.
2) Abysmal at dealing with their short corners.

Not inexplicable in that context but on another day it's maybe only 2 and not 4 conceded.

It cannot happen again. Back to our high block. Midfield need to sink deeper. Our full backs need more support as getting doubled up on.

It would possibly help if one of our full backs bothered to get back into position when we lose the ball

Even just looking at this season, there have been similar results such as:

Bournemouth losing 4-0 at Villa
Villa losing 1-4 at home to Rosenior's Chelsea
Bournemouth losing 4-1 at Brentford
Everton losing 1-4 at home to the Mags
Palace losing 4-1 at Leeds

I've purposely removed the relegation/relegation threatened teams to show that other sides who are having decent to excellent seasons are not immune to bad days or performances either.

Of course we didn't exactly help ourselves, but other teams at this level have quality players too. Shit happens.

Leeds lost 0-4 at home to Arsenal and 6 days later they beat Forest 3-1 at home.

They need a rocket up their arse for Wolves. Got absolutely fuck all to play for so no excuse for us to rock up and not put a good performance in

There's no such thing as nothing to play for if you are a player.

Apparently we lost as Forest were fighting for their lives. Wolves have nothing to fight for so we should win.
