Forest 1 Brentford 2

Right a belated post on yesterday afternoons match, I couldn't be arsed by the time I got back from Notts so decided to resort to having a few beers instead in the fatally misguided impression that after 10 pints everything would seem ok.
As I've said before this season is already starting to take on a worrying similarity to last seasons debacle. Yet again for portions of this match we looked dominant and more than capable of tearing apart what is essentially a poor side. All we needed was to step up the pressure a bit, maybe pass the ball to feet a bit more and the goal would come, but as has happened so often we gave up after about 15 minutes and the midfield retired for the day having obviously worn themselves out.

Firstly a message to Mr Megson 5-3-2 is not the system to play at home (I'm sure it was supposed to be 3-5-2 but the 2 wing backs spent more time in defence than in the midfield) stick to 4-4-2, trust me it works.
Secondly Johnno's quite a short bloke (you may not have noticed this assuming him to be sat down every time you've talked to him) So playing the long ball to him constantly (completely bypassing our midfield) is not going to work. This was obvious after about 10 minutes yesterday as yet again Johnno was outjumped and Brentford came away with the ball, yet for some reason we continued with this tactic for the whole game, what was the bloody point??
When we did play the ball through midfield we yet again resorted to crossing the ball early rather than taking the defence on and getting round the back of them (this is also a tried and tested tactic that causes problems for defenders).
Thirdly TAYLOR IS NO FUCKING USE!!! He's employed as a striker and is obviously incapable in that role so don't stick him in our bloody defence so he can stand their and watch the opposition score, take the captaincy off him and get him making the tea instead.
Not sure about Dadi yet, he didn't impress yesterday but I'm willing to give him a chance as he has to settle in yet.

Not good enough Forest, not good enough by a long shot. So I suggest the players, the manager and the chairman all pull their fingers out and start trying to fix this mess, before the fans turn. Believe me its not far off.
