    So many missed chances again. It’s too often to be bad luck.

    No no it's just the rub of the green apparently. Any day now we're going to explode into being a powerhouse of attacking football led by our £50M goal machine, sweeping all before us aside.

    Please can this game just be over.
    Watching us dominate possession with so little attacking idea is painful.

    Akpom and Flemming give me the shivers - ex-"player" and perpetual rumour.

    The bunglecuntery in attack is just staggering.

    So very Forest that you totally dominate, miss chance after chance, they have one effort all half and you are grateful for the final whistle.

    Need attackers in January. And Jesus back ASAP.

    Another game without a win.
    Another game full of bunglecuntery in attack and 1 costly moment at the back.
    I said fuck VAR earlier, but of course they advised the ref to look at it - and he declined / bottled it / whatever.
    So, how does this get better exactly?
    I'm now going to apologise to Mrs Rave and put on the Last One Laughing Halloween special that she was involved with in a non-comedic capacity whilst reluctantly checking to see if we're on live next weekend.

    Another one we should have fucking won. Still pretty confident we will be fine, but at lot of that confidence does assume we get a bit more of a dominant midfielder.

    The players will be thinking that they can get points out of those. I'm guessing at 5/6.

    Which of the players will actually turn the thinking into doing?

    Back to the top of the xG table.

    2.4 today v their 0.4

    Do we qualify for European xG table if we won the league?

    Form is a fickle business. Over our time watching forest we've seen a lot shitter sides. We can't buy finished article top six guarantees. So there's always going to be a level of development curve. We knew the squad had deficiencies. We knew a change of style would present challenges. Did we really expect everyone we bought to be an instant superstar, and everything to be amazing and trouble free?

    I am slightly bemused by the lack of patience and self entitlement sometimes. I mean it's fine to critique stuff, but I'm not really into the immediately all doom polarised garbage talk.

    I'm using my eyes. There are things I don't really fancy, there are a lot of positives. I can see something coming together, and there is definite development (McAtee was good today - not just relatively, objectively), we have substantially dominated larger periods of games than we have previously. We need ten running around working hard to do that... When you are doing that its hard to still yourself and finish with composure. But I see signs that its coming.

    MGW, Delap, CHO, Munoz, Neco, Sangare, Jesus, McAtee, Murillo, Milenkovic, Aina,

    They will do it for us, and they will bring on the others - particularly defensively where I expect us to be increasingly strong as the season develops.

    I believe that we get to qualify for the know nothing YouTube watch along competition, and a leading exponent who says 'rubbish bruv' a lot.

    It is quite concerning to me that I am agreeing with Tricky. Mostly because he's usually wrong. But we do look like a side that is potentially a good team.

    I just hope we are going to reach that point sooner rather than later, because Russ is being a right knob and he desperately needs proving wrong.
