PS obviously all JJs fault again

Just dire, no fight or desire... Get the ugly clown on the bus back to Nottingham. Sooner the better, or championship is where we are

I watched the whole thing, technically a good performance and totally dominant, just as always missing the cutting edge & final ball that the play warranted, most of the time. Though still had enough chances to win that game. As others said, monga looked really good especially considering his age. Evans likewise impressed and was very involved in most our good play. Golding had plenty about him to suggest he could be a player too, though that probably to be expected. I didn't rate alves much at all to be honest, considering his 'status' he was absent for a lot of the game, occasionally showing something decent. But yeah, I reckon monga could be giving fats something to think about longer term. Thought he did decent both sides of the pitch too. He has great feet.

Hmmm, fats just ran straight into him, not really a 'coming together' so I'd say it's a pen and we got lucky there, but it does even up some injustices against us earlier in the season.

That's not really true though is it, post Christmas is when you'd be able to say that. Like when everyone has played each other, then you have an idea.

Man city, Man u, Chelsea, Liverpool? How many of those will we beat? Then you got Brighton, Newcastle and Brentford as well. Definitely tougher than we've faced thus far. Probably only 2 in our next ten we could win.

Problem is we've had a fairly easy 10 game fixture list, which means we've got a shit load of tougher games coming up. Is 10 enough from the 10 we played? I doubt it. Would have most likely lost today, the sending off saved us from a humiliating defeat. We've been lucky, that's about to end ....

I reckon our team confidence will have taken a hit over the last week, conceding 8 goals, 5 of them probably cos of our own stupid mistakes, can only spread even more nervous energy through the team and supporters. So I really fear this game, I don't see us conceding less than 2 goals and quite possibly 3, so we'll have to hope we have our shooting boots on and maybe we'll get a draw, since they can be flaky at the back too. But I think it'll be more likely 2-1 or 3-1 to them (or worse). Cos we have some major issues trying to keep the ball out of our net right now.

Bizarrely there was a lot to like about the game considering it was a crap lineup against that level of opposition. As always we gifted them a good share of the goals and kept getting beat in possession high up the field leaving us exposed. But in-between that we played quite well at times.

Dunno what IPTV is 😂 it'll be on sky sports red button as all league cup games are, so probably other less legit or foreign streams available too

Well all the noise is man u are looking for a permanent replacement, so hopefully that will demotivate rvn.

Utter b*lls this JJ stuff, why not pick on faes and okoli they were most at fault in the defence for two of forests goals. Also JJ has contributed a fair amount going forward, unlike some. Yes yesterday he was pretty dire but then who wasn't? And it was f**k ups prior to his clearance in the first goal that got us in trouble in the first place. So why pin everything on him? Like asking for Ricardo or Enzo ball, dropping JJ will achieve nothing. At least he's contributed towards the forward play.

Have to agree totally with this, the onus is on the players. Felt like they didn't even try after forests second and definitely didn't after the third. They were lucky not to receive a torrent of abuse from the fans given that performance, against that opposition. Especially cooper, who probably lapped up the plaudits from his x supporters like a thirsty dog lost in the desert!

It costs me over £6 so I wouldn't call that a handout. 😂

We have played 45 mins well in most games, at best you can say we were competitive in the first half last night, we weren't better, it was more of less even. We certainly weren't that in the second. Forest turned the screw just a little bit and we couldn't even nearly match them. We were crap, against our nearest rivals. As I've said before, we have a fight against 5 or 6 teams near the bottom. But we simply can't compete against the likes of forest.

Last night was the fans favourite team, playing the Enzo way and let's face it we got a good spanking from our nearest rivals. I'm not blaming cooper for that, he gave us what we wanted. Doesn't really bother me who's in charge, we're just well short of where we need to be right now. We're still a great championship side, but that doesn't mean we're any good in the prem. All we can do is hope to stay up and build for the future. Cooper maybe gone if we're out the cup, and lose to Ipswich. But I can't see anyone different in charge is going to get a great deal more from this team, you can only polish a turd so much. It's clear to me, mav and fats are struggling at this level. Maybe they'll come good in time, but do we have that??

Weren't miles ahead? It was like watching burton Vs man city in the second half. They were miles better!!

Well riccy looked so far off it, doubt anyone will be shouting to much for him again. To a man appalling tonight, but we may as well face it, we're well behind most of the teams in this league. We'll have our fight with the bottom 5 or 6, the rest anything will be a bonus. Sooner we realise where we are at, the better.

The ticket office said they had. Stupid to rely on royal mail sending out a 2-3 days before.

Mine still haven't turned up, ordered nearly two weeks ago

I suppose taken literally, you're right. Though maybe missing the point

They stream every EFL cup game though :-)

Can't see us getting out of our own penalty box in this one.

Possibly the worst performance since the Newport county exit a number of years ago. Staggeringly bad, cooper says the lads were committed, but they really looked like the couldn't be arsed, it actually was embarrassing. Didn't even make a single decent chance against league two opposition, never mind look like winning. Very lucky in the end to be in the next round. Ultimately the players out there should feel ashamed.

Totally lackluster tonight, to a man all dreadful don't tell me that was a team playing for the manager, clearly they want him gone, and I think most of us do too.
