Forest are a better side than us on what we saw tonight.
I couldn't disagree more. Had the ref not bottled the penalty on Rogers and had he given the clear foul on Cash we come away with a straightforward win. They're on an almighty roll and fair play to them. They have a self belief that creates momentum when theyre looking for a late goal but let's not get carried away. They are not a better team than us.
yeah of course it the refs fault, no way is it on the players. Its  those nasty officials

Not the refs fault as such but key errors by the officials certainly didn't help.

This one really stings.  The manner of it just isn’t acceptable we’re just gifting goals every week.  What makes it worse is that a win would have given us something to build on - 4 straight wins - including a team that’s above us - would have been a great basis to build from.

But it looks like the current squad in the current form just can’t compete consistently, and is a long way of top 4 quality

it stems back to watkins losing the ball on an attack
Can he do anything right at mo?
He’s wrong anyway. It was cash



i saw watkins give the ball away and dont think we recovered

That was for the disallowed goal.

Things started to really unravel after Duran went off and particularly from 78 mins onwards . Very similar to the Bournemouth game when we kept giving the ball away and getting deeper and deeper , inviting trouble .
Emerys subs of late have been flaky
