Bag o'shite

Well, that was that then, the whole season summed up in two play-off games.

Off to a good start without playing very well and into a supposedly unassailable lead only to blow it right at the end due to a combination of poor team selection, negative tactics and player indiscipline.

I'm willing to give managers due time to make their mark before asking for their head on a plate, but some of the decisions made last night were simply shocking. As soon as the first Yeovil corner we had all eleven men in the box, taking off a centre forward (and only outlet) for a centre-half is a poor decision in hindsight, but that leaves us with three centre-halves on the pitch when one of the smallest players heads in the equalizer. What Calderwood said just before extra time had a fantastic effect as we conceded within 30 seconds, and as extra time went on the players were dead on their feet with no chance of taking off the injured as we'd already used all three subs in tactical circumstances.

Colin Calderwood has come out and said the better team won. I would argue against the Yeovil eleven being better than our eleven, but it's good management that makes them the better team, and when you're admitting that you're a worse manager than Russell Slade, you may as well go home. Please.

David Prutton is an idiot, just been booked, had another warning off the ref and dives in with two feet. Pratt.

There is no silver lining to this. It will be easier for me to get to the Leeds away game next season, but remember their fans are animals, so much so that their program sellers wear shin-pads, but that's it.

If things are allowed to continue, this is it for Forest for the next ten to fifteen years, a nothing lower division side.

We need a manager with passion, experience, knowledge & leadership to lead a decent group of players up the leagues where we belong. Maybe one who is currently looking for a managerial position. Maybe one willing to bring in a current non-league manager as assistant.

Now, who could that possibly be ?
