Bit of a wobble. There is a correlation between Dawson and Sow missing and Forest suddenly looking a little brittle IMO.
Dearie me, we need a striker, urgently.
Yep, another totally inept and woeful performance
For the team to start so lacklustre and not really get into gear until we’re 0:2 down it totally unacceptable
These are bloody professionals, and still shouldn’t be learning how to play football
Very poor
Lolley and Adomah failed to find good crossing options late on meaning the ball was coming in high and hanging from Cash and Watson. Easy pickings for the Dull goalie.

Agreed
Disappointed but not too despondent. Still a great start to the season. I won’t be getting on at Lamouchi. I think he has earned a lot of leeway with his start to the season.

Still unacceptable - we’re talking about professional athletes - replacements should be able to step up to the mark at this level
Let’s see how the Reds get on with their Reading tests

Sometimes the harder you try the further you get from your desired destination. Needed cooler heads not more blud and thunder tonight IMO. Let’s not forget, Hull have a decent recent record at the CG.
Only four points off top. How many recent seasons have Forest been four points off the bottom at this stage? Let’s all calm down a bit.

That’s also true Will
Just so frustrating - knowing where we could....SHOULD have been
Apparently we are in the bottom 3 in the championship for chances created this season, which speaks volumes. Our midfield is dis jointed and lacks any shape, we have no creativity, and on the odd occasion we do fashion a chance Grabban is usually nowhere to be seen. Yes we should have had at least one penalty tonight, but did we really deserve anything ? The last 2 and next 2 games we should have been looking at 10 points, we’ll be very lucky to get 2, extremely frustrating.
Unfortunately it’s typical of Forest.
Sorry Rev not should, we just not anywhere near good enough, too many bang average, ineffective foreigners in our ranks, Silva, Carvalho, Mir to name but a few.

Yep I agree dave
I have been duped by the excellent start we’d had and began to actually believe we were Promotion material
Sorry, my mistake
We clearly and desperately need more options up front and I would argue on the flanks. Cashy has improved his game significantly under Sabri but the dependence on him to supply bursts of energy and crosses is telling.
We often win the ball back in very good areas but aren’t fast or direct enough in transition, to catch the opponents on the hop and create more chances that way. Get that right and suddenly guys like Carvalho and Silva become much more influential too...
Well, I'm putting it down to losing the toss. Eric Lichaj knows we prefer to play towards the trend end second half so called accordingly. Well played Eric

Agree with this, entirely.
Controversial opinion: Lolley has been missing all season and at this point Riberio/Adomah would be a better option
Having Yates back may help a little, but Lolley, Grabban and Ameobi, all seem bereft of ideas, and unfortunately Adomah when he came on was no better. We floated aimless balls into a crowded box, and failed to compete for the majority of them. Tbh playing against 10 men for the last 20/25 minutes we should have created at least one golden opportunity, but it just didn’t happen. As someone said earlier, we have been found out and at the moment don’t have a plan ‘A’ never mind plan ’B’.
Oh dear, didn’t expect that. Well played to Hull though, they got it spot on.
My thoughts: our full backs eagerness to get forward left plenty of space behind for their two most dangerous players to exploit. If Sabri wanted the fbs to play that way wouldn’t Riberio have been a better option on the left. Would it also have been better to play five at the back. With the fbs pushing forward so much it seemed that Lolley and Ameobi were redundant.

Agree. I think he is reading off last season’s form at the moment. Never looked decisive in possession and thrashed wildly at a few shots. Should Forest have taken Villa’s £12m in the summer? I hope he will get back to his best form but am concerned it is now October and we have seen very little of the real Joe Lolley.
Ameobi seems to play like he is waiting for permission to really cut lose and have a go at the opposition. He could be a real handful at this level but too often is outmuscled by players half his size.
Carvalho can’t impose himself on games. He needs to start justifying the expense as he is drifting through the season. I gave him some leeway as he didn’t have a full pre-season but the two week international break should have been enough time to get up to speed.
Lamouchi needs to get his thinking cap on. Silva and Carvalho haven’t got the energy to offer enough support to Watson in centre mid. Semedo, if fit, or Yates should be in there or it could be another frustrating afternoon against Reading.
Agreed will, to say ameobi has enough pace to burn, and enough strength to crush a man into the ground and leave him there like a sprinkler, his reluctance to have a go was frustrating. The two (and only two) times he went on a run he played that filthy back heel, and the other time should of had a penalty.
The greatest positives from the game is that samba is looking a greater and greater buy, and that Cash has been phenomenal. Feel for cash though, hulls play is completely down to their good wingers and the amount of times Watson missed is man, or lolley went for a walk and left him 2v1 was depressing. And he was playing at RW and RB as well.
