It's tempting to point out one simple thing to explain all observable fuckwittery. But eleven players playing below their average level isn't going to help (and changes the effectiveness of any tactics).
Bad day today. A long way away. In the fucking cold. Move on quickly.
This isn't a scoreline that flatters Bournemouth. We've given up completely. Midfield has been nonexistent today, Anderson and MGW have both had zero impact.
We’ve been fucking terrible today and they are very good. Getting humiliated by Bournemouth should be a reality check for those who were starting to wank like chimps about getting into Europe.
I refer you to the “next six games” post. We could get 0/18 if we continue to play like this. At least we are mathematically safe.
That wasn’t just a loss. It wasn’t just a heavy defeat. That was a total pasting.
I would suggest it is our worst loss since getting promoted in terms of expectation vs outcome. (We had no expectations in those games in the first season away at Arsenal and City for example other than to hope it was single figures).
There has been plenty of hubris around Forest this season. Hopefully no more.
