Weird. The game I’ve enjoyed most this season was another loss, but what a loss it was!
We actually looked like a bloody team for once!!
Seven 1st team players from last season played last night:
Samba
Figueiredo
Worrall
Ribiero
Sow
Lolley
Ameobi
Coincidence?
You can add Christie into the list the way he played. Forget defending, just let him drive forward.
Our wing play was fantastic at times. Ameobi’s best game? The fullbacks and wingers with an understanding to bypass midfield?! Impressive by CH.
They even looked fit! Fitter than Norwich perhaps.
Honestly, I don’t think I’ve ever enjoyed a loss so much. Passion everywhere. It was like a PO Semi-Final (Note* I didn’t say Final!).
If I was Chris I’d just play the video of that game. Over and over again. A few pints in the pub and no training, Cloughie style.
Brentford then, in the last eight games have:
W3 D5
Three wins against 16th, 18th and 20th
Played two teams in the top ten, both draws
Three red cards in their favour
Forest then, in the last eight games have:
W2 D1 L4
Two wins against 19th and 23rd
Played the top five teams, with just one draw
One red card against them
Prediction: Forest win 2-1
Don’t ask me how we’ll score, but we’re due some luck to reward that effort.

We won’t go down.
Classic performance from a team with no confidence. We were always gonna lose this game cause Brentford are miles better than us. It shows what a job CH has. If this squad was half decent they would have turned it around by now. It shows he needs to make big changes over the next year. We can’t allow this squad to get rid of another good manager. He has to be allowed to get rid of the dead wood. I suspect if we nick a goal and a win somewhere it might kick start some good results. But while we are playing the top teams in the form we are in we will keep losing. I don’t blame Taylor or the strikers as they only get one good chance every 4 games.
My only gripe really is why he keeps playing Figs. He is an utter liability. It seems like we would genuinely be better off playing with 10 men then him in the team. He concedes at least one a game solely by being poor. You just can’t sustain that surely?

We absolutely must stick with Chris Hughton - even if we go down, he must stay at all costs

Yes ! We MUST keep Chris Hughton. He’s probably the only one that knows his ar5e from his elbow when it comes to football matters at the City ground.

We all know we need to stick with CH, we also know it isn’t going to happen. The hierarchy will interfere again very soon and CH will be added to our list of good managers who failed, unless of course he can’t turn things round in the next half dozen games. Yes the last half dozen have been incredibly tough, but to take only 1 point from 18 is extremely alarming. The next few games will show whether we have the desire for a fight, as the likes of Sheff W, Millwall etc are not teams to be feared, ordinarily, except these aren’t ordinary times. Our only option now is to show that we can perform as a team and not continue to be a collection of individuals who can’t gel.

Gave up on the first half
Better second half
No luck of the draw.
Figs is a liability and Samba needs to go on the bench for a few matches.
Starting to feel less optimistic about the chances of survival
We will lose to Sheffield Wednesday on Tuesday.
Taylor is not good enough.
Grabban will be gone by the January transfer window.
CH will have to use his contacts to bring in bodies he can trust.
We just have to better than Coventry , Wycombe and Rotherham to stay.
There is a lot of dead wood on big money at the club.
Definition of stupidity - doing the same thing and expecting a different outcome.
Not sure what the answer is and starting to lose hope.
Feels like regulation season.
At least in 2017 we had Britt and CC coming back.

We're in this position because of crap management/owner who doesn't seem to understand the culture of English football.
They keep sacking managers
They keep interfering
They don't maintain a consistent philosophy of how they're going to run the club
They're using us as a feeder club for Olympiakos
What indicators are there to suggest that
a] they've learnt anything, or
b] they have any intention of changing
c] thye have any idea how difficult it is for a big club to get out of League 1?

Does anyone actually believe the Redevelopment is going to happen
Not a chance in hell

Sorry, but that’s the definition of insanity, though in this case both insanity and stupidity apply.
