You're optimistic. Reckon it will be at least 5, more if Ward starts again.

Basically got everything wrong today. Team selection, subs and in game management. Just stood on the touchline looking lost. Very worrying.

The fact that we've scored in every home game so far and these have been shipping goals for fun makes me worried that we'll lose 0-1. It's the way of the football gods.

Interesting to see that whilst Ipswich have been beaten 4-0 today, they've still only conceded 15 shots on their goal. Still can't understand why we are regularly conceding 25+ on ours. It's ridiculous. Can only think the midfield structure is not right as we do seem to let teams have a lot of free shots from the edge of the box.

Excellent score at Ipswich. Horrible to see Forest going 3rd as it stands. Surely this can't continue?

Agent Brooks doing well on VAR!

If we go to Liverpool with Ward in goal, they could genuinely get double figures.

That is a disaster. Many games of Ward and we’re screwed.

Making Jacob Murphy look like a world beater says everything about this performance.

Why is Ward on the bench when Iversen is clearly a better keeper? Madness.

Another option would be to move from a 4231 to a 433, and deploy BEK in a deeper role in CM, alongside Skipp and Hamza. He has played as an 8 for Morocco.

It was way better. The pressing was good and we moved the ball more quickly through the thirds. The issue we had was the quality of the final pass, where we passed up lots of good opportunities with a lack of quality. Overall, I think it was a close, competitive match, which is backed up by the stats for possession, shots, xG , touches in the opponents box, etc, all of which were much more even than we were seeing under Cooper and compared to the West Ham game. Early days but all very promising.

Happened in midweek, too!

Can anyone provide an explanation as to why Archie Gray is worth £40m? I get he is very young and could improve with experience, but he just looks so ordinary every time I watch him. He’s not particularly fast or skilful, and doesn’t ever seem to score or assist, or even create a chance.

Just not sure we can go again with the Vesty/Coady partnership. Their alarming lack of pace means the defence has to sit so deep that we invite lots of pressure and shots, which was part of the problem on Tuesday. So I’d be tempted to bring Okoli back in to partner Vesty or Coady, assuming he’s fit.

Can anyone explain how our 7 'big chances' tonight equated to an xG of only 1.39? Surely each big chance must have an xG of at least 0.25 to be classed as a big chance?

Obvious thing to do is to bring Stephy in and play BEK in the 10.

Don't understand McAteer starting over Mav. Really not sure what is going on with the latter.

Made the mistake of listening to TalkSh1te for 5 minutes in the car earlier. They had Neil Lennon on giving his "expert view" on Leicester, which was that we only have 2 PL level players in the squad, Vardy and Winks. He also said that RVN might want to have a look at the "goalkeeping situation". Dear, oh dear, the state of punditry these days.....

Hoping that's not true. Stephy surely needs to be starting, especially with Abdul out.

Listened to the post-match WYS pod from Saturday and even Nugent on co-comms was very unhappy with the selection, tactics and in-game management - and he's normally very positive.

Has Ruud got his own coaches yet? Tell me that Ben Dawson is not still at the club at least!

Isn't this exactly what Cooper was doing and it didn't seem to work? Maybe with better coaching it could work but I'm not sure that we have anybody in the squad good enough to play the role expected of the RB.

It's bizarre that VK is not keen on the LCB role. For me he is more suited to that than being a wing back or attacking full back. He's relatively fast and a decent one on one defender but not great going forward.
