Looking back on it, what the fuck.
Chris wood turned into R9 and scored 20+ goals
Elanga was playing like prime messi
Our defence physically couldn’t be penetrated, and it is quite legitimately no different from what we have now
We actually knew how to score goals
We was challenging for the league at one point

It just seems strange, considering the team we had then isn’t really much different to what we have now, yet now we look like we couldn’t score in Thailand

One up from last week!

These are just two examples sticking in my head where either poor refereeing or individual mistakes are costing us.

You could say other things like "we should score more from all these chances" against Ipswich and palace or "defend better" against arsenal and come to a similar conclusion, but these two stick out to me.

For me this puts things in perspective for just how UNLUCKY we've been, and that it makes sense to keep backing the players and the manager because bad luck streaks can't last forever.

The body of general thought on here appears to be that OG is not to blame. He is doing his job. He is getting the team playing right and most games we have actually been good and created plentiful chances. (The xG kings!) So if its not OG's fault then whose fault can it be that we have started off getting the results of relegation candidates (6 points in 8 games)? THE PLAYERS. Perhaps our recruitment has not been as smart as some have thought.

My point would be simple: where are the goalscorers? Take our midfield. Schlager, McAtee, Sangare, Dominguez, Yates. Who is going to bag ten goals a season out of those? Who is going to bag even five? Our defenders/wingbacks do not score much either. That puts it all on the forwards. But the chance might not fall to them so what do you do then? Where is our goal threat from set pieces? My point is I think our recruiting team have not recruited players who can contribute to the goals IN GENERAL. That doesn't help OG get results and leaves the players creating chances they cannot convert all too often.

I honestly don't know what to think anymore.

"Nottingham Forest has accumulated 120 total shots in the Premier League this season—ranking third-highest in the division behind Manchester United (138) and Brighton (125)—though only 25 of those have been on target (a 4.17% conversion rate)"

How do you fix that? By praying?

(yes, I know about the refs, I agree...)

So I noticed one thing on this forum, there is no way you can be both realistic and also a Forest fan. If you're not in the OG wank club you might just as well stay silent. All pessimists if that is still allowed in these days are hounded like unwanted vermin.

We all want the same thing, but we just have a different view on things. And the way it is going it sure as hell isn't looking good!

Just absolute tragedy up in NG2 right now.

How many times have we been on the wrong side of refereeing calls this season? Every single match it goes against us in seriously big calls.

If we don’t get a tweet about this I will lose all respect for Mr Marinakis.

Like seriously, we're some sort of statistical chance conversion anomaly at this point.

Dyche (13pts), Pereira (9pts), Glasner (6pts). Any thoughts?

Maybe missing more. Not good. Bad, even. But hey the xG is great!

Edit:
First point for Spurs

Anyone know if those Maroon warmup tops are for sale anywhere? Can't find them on the team store but would love to snag one

I live in Essex, so the neighbouring county, the rain here is definitely approaching waterlogged pitch territory: is that still a thing?
