This thread gets infinitely busier when we’re losing. Sad really 

Wouldn’t know, not old enough to remember when we were winning

Played fine today - not brilliant but certainly don’t deserve to be losing. Problem is not specifically this game but many before it. 

[Banjo Red]

Who is going under the bus tonight then?

Hardly Lee’s fault. 
 

I think 8 points in our last 11 games is something that Lee has to bear a little bit of responsibility for?

[Clevedon Red]

Mathematically not safe from relegation yet.

Yup. 

I knew was in the moment Bentley took his position

So obvious were he was going to place it. Poor from Bentley. Get the ball over the wall and guaranteed goal.

Have to agree with that. I was screaming at the goalie to move towards the center but he didn't hear me.

There’s a novel idea! COYR 

I'd struggle to get that past the die hard OTIB LJ out brigade. 

Mind if they don't like that idea, I can always blame Lee

You beat me to it. I was just about to say the same. Plenty of possession but little creativity 

Exactly, it's not as if we have been creating chances and Samba has been pulling worldies out of his arse, or desparste defending is saving goals, we have created half chances and both in more. 

There is a reason we are sitting firmly at the bottom of most tables that use xG, it shows the weaknesses of that ad a metric, but it also shows that we do not create many guilt edge chances and score more goals than we perhaps have any right to do based purely on what we create.

Let’s be honest, he doesn’t know what he’s doing.

Someone (maybe @Olé) posted it far more succinctly then I could, but he doesn’t really know why it works, therefor cannot replicate success at will, nor can arrest demise.

Backed to the hilt for almost 4 years.

A case study in faltering to deceive.

I’m done.

Apart from Afobe’s shot in the first half have we actually had a clear shot on goal ...  that’s the biggest problem

Why is that specifically LJs fault? Think he’s got the team set up and play right tonight, the players need to do more on the pitch. Take a risk, be more clinical.

Perhaps if we had someone creative out to feed the two prolific goal scores it might help.

Its LJ’s players, his selection....

[Wrongagain]

Weimann could have stopped that attack but held off because of his card - substitute !!!

[Dynamite Red]

People saying we don't deserve to be losing are wrong, teams of quality like Forest are always going to have opportunities to score and they were always likely to take one, we have played well but as always this not reflected in chances created, we create very little opportunities and as result don't and haven't scored enough.

[Bris Red]

The damage is done for me. LJ will have to do a lot more than producing one half decent performance (and still probably losing) to win me back around. Johnson out.

[City_USA]

Positive subs. COYR

Frustration.

If we were winning (remember that) maybe it would be different - but we're not and people are genuinely concerned and frustrated by our recent performances and results.  

[MelksRed]

Our corner delivery has been atrocious tonight.....too deep too often.....

That's good in principle but in general Baker and Williams as the pair gives me worries about being caught out..however I like the idea moving forward.

So far they haven't exactly been looking to run in behind

Didn't hear us... I was screaming at the TV too.

‘YOU’RE A DISGRACE’

 

that’s got to be the next OSIB title surely

Nail on the head for me. When it does go right he doesn’t really know why or how.. 

[City_USA]

Game over

[Crackers Corner]

Wtf

[Garland-sweden]

Our passes in to the box are not good.

And now???

I admit my post was wrong and I thought we would concede earlier. Still not a fan of the personal abuse. 

[The Fat Controller]

Absolutely brain dead.

[Bizyer]

Williams straight red!!!

[Wade Wilson]

Ah yes, Williams. The professional older cool head.
