Forest away was going to be a tough game even if we had a full strength team, with them flying high and our form as poor as it has been in many years.
Great to see some of the kids given a go, but didn't expect that many all at once?
Debuts for Danny Whitehead, Callum Driver and Sebastian Lletget and only a handful of games for Moncur and Potts.
The formation looked a bit strange with a back 3 including 2 right backs and a central midfielder? but other than Moncur's poor challenge giving away a penalty it was only 1-0 at half time, and there was still hope.
Downing, Jarvis and Maiga are all regulars but they were all very poor today, a few of the kids looked alright I didn't think Driver and Whitehead played too bad and Turgott looks promising, the rest might have been OK as part of a stronger team but they were all on the back foot from the start.
Couldn't believe Fat Sam took off Diarra who was the only experienced head in the defence, and after that Forest had the freedom of our penalty box.
Ravel Morrison showed some good touches early on but seemed to lose interest and was a passenger for most of the 2nd half, Maiga was a disgrace, Downing who'd looked good at Fulham seemed content to sit on the wing hoping for a pass and didn't contribute much and certainly wasn't captain material.
It's ended up 5-0 which is a disgrace, you've got to feel sorry for a few of the younger players but the manager deserves all the bile heading his way for a poor formation to start and again some strange substitutions which contributed to this embarrassing thrashing :(
