The minute marinakis called the players to him highlighted the disdain he has for his managers. The players should have been Spartans, support the boss. Dyche may have been awkward but he knew what he was doing. Marinakis is a hot headed looney gun slinger shooting from the hip with wall eyes. Peirera will not see the season out as I saw more weakness than strength. Our defence in dissary and a total lack of effort and cohesion.

Playing out from the back was clueless and turgidly dangerous. MGW gave it everything but generally lacked composure again. As for our free kick specialist don't make me laugh. No Lucca even in the squad and again playing with wingers, stupidity. I don't care if we get relegated because the owner has blown any credibility we earned last season. He destroyed nuno and Dyche. Unforgivable.

I agree with most of this, sadly. I agree the owner is totally to blame. We look like a clown outfit. Bakwa and Lucca are useless. We have a coach who cannot see the tactical needs of our side, or where we are in the league. Brighton outfoxed us and outplayed us in every area.

Why we didn't bring Dominguez on after half-time, I'll never know. He would be a better winger than Bakwa any day. If the answer was Ndoye and Bakwa, then the question was not even understood.

Remember Nuno's results went downhill around this time last year. However Big M rewarded him with a 3 yr contract, ie he wanted him to stay and rated his abilities. A serious rift occurred early in the season. We can only suppose what went on between them, but you cannot put all the blame on Big M; it was 50/50, I expect. Then, really, player power took over; they wouldn't play to the Australians' tune and rejected SD's approach, yet SD was a step up. Big M failed to consult the right players, ie Chris Wood. He, I am sure, has advisors on the ground who must have fed him negative vibes re SD.

One must not forget he bankrolls all these players, had given to charity and even gone a long way down updating the ground - may never come to fruition, of course. Those with longer memories may remember the Fawaz era, the Portuguese imports etc. To be careful what you wish for is a common statement on this site. But we have seen a gradual stepping down of able managers being appointed; let's not throw the baby out with the bath water. Big M has sunk millions into our club of his own money, so let's respect that.

Big M has done a lot of good for the club. But his appointments and decisions will see us go down.

It has to be said, some of Dyche's tactics were bizarre? Abbot at RB and Dominguez down the right V Leeds?

I would have hoped, after today's result, Mr M will have digested the fact that we're going to be relegated, and now is the time to start planning for the event. The back-stabbing five won't be playing any part in our fight next season. Sack Edu, we don't want any of his rubbish. We need players who can put a Full shift in and stay on their feet.

We should have a look at the teams being promoted. They always shed a few players not deemed good enough for the prem; throw in the cream from the academy, along with the remaining first team, and we might have a chance. I find myself clutching at straws, but I love my club.

Oh and bring back Cooper, he's the only one who is capable of getting us back up first time.

Why would Cooper want to come back after being sacked by Big M. And why would Big M have him back, knowing he's not good enough to get this team anywhere near a European place when we get back in the Premier League. Let's move on from past managers and past players who fans want as managers. Just sack Edu.

Any better suggestions, Skeggs? I can't think of any decent coach wanting to come to Forest, and get us back in the prem at the first attempt.

Well, Dyche got teams promoted to the top flight (Watford and Burnley), and kept them there. But that ship has sailed, unfortunately.
