Morning after the night before in the cold light of day.
for the first time I am seriously worried for my beloved Nottingham Forest!
Analysing yesterdays game and taking the emotion out of it some basic issues spring out at you.
1. Our goalkeeper creates problems for the defence by not commanding his area
2. Our wingbacks are not wingbacks, possibly Munoz aside, they are full backs
3. Playing 3 CB isn't working they are tripping over themselves, especially defending set pieces
4.Our midfield is too static and doesn't progress the ball forward quick enough
5. Without wingers our main threat fast transitions has stopped completely
6. Gibbs White has lost form and doesn't look interested at the moment
7. Wood has lost his legs and Delap has no confidence whatsoever
8. Glasner has lost the dressing room.

Good post Munmad. I don't think Sels is part of the problem though mate. OGs system is basically too inflexible. It has pros and cons. If you remember VP and Nuno could change it at will depending on the opposition and the match tactical situation. But then we had adaptable ( and available ) players who bought into that.
Now we don't.
Two of the main defects of OGs system is that MGW is marginalized rather than at the hub of things, particularly going forward and Delaps supply from wide positions has dried up as has his confidence. Both are feeding on scraps.

We're basically rudderless, OG does little from the sidelines in directing play, MGW is not a proper captain. The players are all playing an alien system.
After watching the Milian derby last night I was surprised to see Amorin change his philosophy and play four at the back, guess what?, they dominated Inter and won handsomely.
So a Leopard can change its spots after all, but is our Leopard to stubborn to change his? Either way he's on borrowed time now, a limp defeat at teatime on Saturday and the home fans will turn, seeing as it's City visiting, I guess the big man will be in attendance. The supporters will literally seal his fate. ?.

James McAtee can't run, can't shoot, can't score goals, can't head, can't take players on, can't cause problems or goals from free kicks, etc. and it won't change. 5-a-side football only. He is neither a number 10 nor a number 2.
Ridiculous for a manager to put such unconditional faith in him based on his ability and impact on games. Watch the Aston Villa Europa semi-final and compare him to John McGinn.

RHR, it's beyond a joke now, it's not just McAtee, Ndoye, The Serbinator. Only one proper wingback, I can't even describe Delap as misfiring because he fires blanks. Total shambles is an understatement, poor recruitment once again, no competition in goal, chasing a big name CB all summer, signing him and not playing him.
Letting all our pace out wide go out on loan, paying £50 million for dud(I admit to being optimistic about him, blind faith my friends). I could go on and on. But the buck stops at Glasners feet, he wanted this, he directed this and now his head must roll. ?.

It's usually best to read the whole sentence Skeggs. but was it Oscar Wilde who said that when certain people say something intelligent it's like a dog walking on its hind legs. it's not that remarkable that it happens sometimes but that it happens at all?
??????.
