Our penny pinching during the transfer window when we bypassed several possible midfielders in the hope of getting Gallagher on the cheap and then failing to do anything is going to backfire on us unless PV comes up with a different solution.

Quite simply, teams have worked out our one dimensional tactic. They stick two defenders on each of our wide players in the knowledge we are not good enough to play through the middle.

We probably need to go 4-2-3-1 or 4-4-2, especially away from home and Doucoure needs to find some regular help.

Phew…be glad to get back to the car in one piece! Nothing more to say that hasn’t been said already. We sung, we encouraged, we hoped…but all in vein. In my opinion, worst performance of the season.

Anyway, home game on Saturday- so let’s hope with a few changes- back to winning ways!

We haven't played well all season. Something is wrong.

The players must look at Veira’s team and set up and be equally baffled. I’m sure they are disillusioned. I acknowledge we are thin in midfield but there was no excuse for playing Milo on his own in central midfield. Ridiculous and we all called it before match. (Except one oddball Milo fan)

The beatings will stop when morale improves.

Been playing really well for Forest, not surprised as an experienced international .
Must have been worth another couple of years, in particular as we never looked like replacing him or Gallagher.
Didn’t understand and still don’t how we could have thought we could do without.

Really poor performance and not excused by just the absence of Doucoure.
It has been obvious for some time that Luka hasn't got the legs to play at this level and this is why so many were suggesting using two holding midfield players if Luka was involved.
I felt sorry for our back four as they had no protection.
If you don't give our flair players time or space and perform with aggression and direct play you have a good chance against us.
I saw Kouyate give a MOM performance v Liverpool today.
How we could have done with him or similar today.
He never stopped running or challenging which was noticeably absent from a number of our games this season.
It's great having skilful players, but you have to have a balanced team.
