It’s a marathon not a sprint. I see people saying we’re going down, bang in trouble etc. Five games into a 46 game season.
Last season we were top 6 till February / March and finished mid table. Forest were bottom three till September / October and won promotion.
It’s far too early to draw conclusions. We’re a work in progress. Give Beale some time and let’s see how we’re doing in 10 games or so. |  | | |  |

Yeah proper deluded that we can’t beat Blackpool & Rotherham, I must have a reality check |
We couldn’t beat Peterborough or Cardiff at the end of last season. Context is important. | | | |

Missing at least three and possibly up to five sitters in each of those matches shows progress from the back of last season in terms of at least creating chances even after Willock went off. Not sure what the coaching team can do about all those misses. Especially as on another day, at least a couple of them go in.
I guess us happy clappers could also change tac and say we're sh*t and the manager's sh*t and let's throw Dykes on the scrap heap but not sure where it gets anyone or how enlightening it is. |  | | |

Most worrying for me is, even when we have any shape, how quickly we can lose it.
Feels like eleven individuals, but mostly the quite gifted, kicking a ball about and fashioning some chances. Willock and Chair work excellently, Laird looks like a man with a plan but a little bemused why many of his compatriots don’t seem to be on the same wave length.
Aside of that there are decent individual performances but little cohesion. Beale needs to galvanise them into a team so they’re not just a warm up to the Willock & Chair show. |  | | |

It’s all a bit frantic and too open for my liking. But I would put that down to the new manager / system and the new players gelling. Like I said at the start of this thread, it’s going to take time especially after the way we ended last season. | | | |

It shouldn’t take time. We should be putting the likes of Blackpool and Rotherham to bed. Against Blackpool in the first half they were the better side with the best player on the pitch and second half we hardly created a chance. Yesterday we conceded from another set piece and after the initial shit it was poor defending that gave their player another chance. Evidently we now have a set piece coach who should be earning his money. The set up from corners and free kicks are a joke with what we are still conceding and the eleven men back routine clearly isn’t the answer. Two players need to remain upfront, it leaves three defenders back and clears a bit of room for the keeper. If Beale cannot see that then frankly he’s sold us a pup. |  |

I agree , but the style of play is a sickly vanilla . |
Bit harsh. I'd say Milli Vanilli at least. |  |

What i mean by that is that there is nothing to get us out of our seat . Every game follows a similar format . Even when we are winning (1st half Boro) it comes back to the script and we are hanging on for the result . There are no characters , no mavericks, no flair .

Thin gruel. Completely agree but what's to be done? The cash has gone, the players we want to see at their best are coming off injuries.
And Dom Ball has gone. | |

No flair? What are Willock, Chair and Roberts in not flair players? | | | |

Football isn’t that simple though. We had enough chances to win yesterday but didn’t take them. Same story on Wednesday when we should’ve at least drawn on the balance of play.
Fine margins and as others have pointed out, an improvement on the end of last season. Five games into the season isn’t the time to write off the manager and players. | | | |

Happy clappers will keep on clapping
All is well in the camp, we can’t beat Sunderland, Charlton ,Blackpool or Rotherham it’s a privilege just to be on the pitch with these footballing giants imo |
Our best eleven won’t be out on the pitch until after the internationals. When it is, we will be capable of beating anyone, and with better finishing, would have won the last two games.
We will get stronger as the season progresses, the evidence of that is there for all to see. Clarke Salter and Richards will take us up another notch. Roberts, Willock and Laird will get better and have huge potential.
Don’t get the doom mongers. The plan is laid out in front of our eyes but we just need a bit of patience until all the pieces come together.
The only and potentially likely issue to derail the whole thing is injuries. That is the area that needs some serious attention. | | | |

We've drawn with two of the teams who came up last season and lost at home to Blackpool. I do wonder what Beale was told as the squad is seriously lacking in depth. If we don't get a striker in, I think we'll be at the wrong end of the table unfortunately. Dykes has no anticipation - there was a cross in the second half where if he'd gambled and made a run towards the ball, he could have connected, but he just stood at the far post waiting. Get a natural striker and we'll be fine. |
We should've done better against Blackpool and I am gutted that we lost at home to them but can we please stop making out that they are The Dog and Duck FC?
We got 66 points last season, Blackpool got 60. They are not a rubbish team, they are of a similar standard to us, currently.
And I'd love to beat them at their place. Give me revenge  |  |
