Nottingham Forest - Millwall

1 win in 6. I don't mean to be negative but with injures building things ain't looking good chaps. Anyone got a pin for this balloon?

We've looked nervy at the back all night. Samba has been quite mistake prone.

Would need our greatest 45 of the season if we are to do anything.

Cannot see it

Awful - just awful

This is the current run of form. I wonder what the underlying symptom is?

Giving the current run of form, it won't be long before we're out of the top 6.

I don t know why people are surprised as we ve been awful at home all season apart from 2 games , Samba to imho is not as good as everyone seems to think
Credit to Millwall though they ve been great , first to everything and defended brilliantly
We have lacked a bit of quality /composure with the final ball, that also has been a problem all season

Seems very simple but with Sow we have a player who can break up play and set us up on the counter. He protects the back four and everyone gains confident. Psychologically we play better and the team is visibly more confident.

When he isn't in the team we look nervy and out of sorts and not like a team that should be challenging top six, let alone top two.

I think we've lost just once with him in the team. I think we've only won a couple or so without him. Don't tell me the players are not aware of that.

Semedo is awful I've seen enough of him now...The game passes him by, his positional sense is woeful. We can never ever deal with a big centre forward, that Smiths won everything. Never mind the 2nd half cant be as bad.

This is so frustrating! And can't see joining the Premiership doing us any favours! If we can't beat or at least cope with lower Championship teams then imagine what the 'mighty' Watford/ West Ham/ Brighton would do to us - and the higher teams don't bear thinking about :-(
We'd probably challenge the sheep-shaggers' record for the lowest points total!

We know it.  They'll know it.

This is the same form they showed the last time they lost Sow.  We 'were' top 6 and then spiralled downwards without him to about...9th was it?

I reckon we could play until next weekend and still not look like scoring.

Poor performance. Home form really has been distinctly average.

Feel that Charlton defeat at home really took wind out of our sails. Been very ordinary since.

Will be lucky to make play offs at this rate and that will be hugely disappointing

Bostock played well since he came on, mind you he’s looked like Inesta compared to Semedo

Personally I'm far less concerned by this loss than the games against Cardiff and boro. Sometimes you actually have to give credit to the opposition rather than slate your team. If millwall play like this every game until the end of the season I think they'll win the playoffs.

I do think we've been found out a bit though. We are allowed to get a lot of crosses in every game but can't make the most. Massive fan of what grabs brings but think we'd benefit from a big ugly forward who wins headers and scores ugly goals. Similarly, Watson has been great but it really isn't his game when we're not sitting back and hitting on the counter.
