Forest away Tuesday 14th January 8pm

Abundantly clear we don't have the quality to win the league if we don't turn this around.

Huge halftime for Slot here.

This is now a run or form, with a consistent pattern. It’s a problem. Hopefully the second half can get us out of this rut.

[ronanm]

Get szob off. Like playing with 10 men. Jota on

[kingfunk]

I’ve not seen one positive sign, we might have most the possession but they are in control and then some. Unless there is mega changes in the second half I don’t see any we can get anything out of this game. First time this season I’ve seen a team have such control over us.

Slot needs to earn his money. But like klopp I think the players are done. Lack of rotation, we're empty. No new signings. Salah 2nd half season form again. We're in trouble. Unless we can have a bit of magic and somehow rescue this.

All season our play has not managed to create chances for however plays up top central. Nunez, jota, Diaz, all suffering from not being involved enough. It's a huge weakness in the tactics.

Apart from the first half a dozen games for us, he’s ranged from meh to crap with the ball. Incredible athlete but not a creator or match winner.

Yeah, I don't think he's anywhere near good enough - shame Jones has had a dip in form. Incredible engine but that's not really what you want from your creative midfielder. Forest have a better 10 in Gibbs-White.

[BootRoom]

Too many unreliable players in the final third; more likely to lose possession than keep the move going. Forest aren't even that good.

Their whole team is playing at a high level and following the managers tactics. Good luck to them.

Don't agree with any of that. I think we just need some fast passing, dribbling and pace around the box. We need to confuse their defenders. We can't **** around trying to draw them out with possession, we need to create a bit of chaos on the edge of their box. Need to make them forget their positions. I was serious about Nguhoma - this game actually would suit him (albeit, it's past his bed-time).

[Kenneth]

Diaz out wide is a useful he runs with it and gets us up the pitch, and gakpo does not. It’s weird that they are being swapped. Not that gakpo is a lethal CF, we don’t have one at the club, but it blunts Diaz and makes gakpo’s cut in and shoot too predictable.

They are too well drilled for that.

Watch how quick they get back into position when they lose the ball. It's incredible. We can only hope they tire.

And who’s going to to that, Szobo? He can’t. We end up crossing the ball and have a midget against big CBs.

[BG1973]

Christ, some defeatistism here.

Things can change quickly.

[chadrtc]

I can’t really see us scoring here. We don’t look at it in the slightest.

I know you keep repeating this, but it really isn't abundantly clear that this is some kind of title decider.

It's one game, against a team that are seemingly set up to be the perfect foil for playing us.
