Starting to worry now

Since the start of the season, my attitude has remained pretty constant, there’s a couple of teams that will challenge (Birmingham & Reading) and after that there’s 14 or 15 teams who could do well, of which one was Forest. We could finish top six, we could (more likely) finish mid-table, BUT, there were too many c**p teams for us to be sucked into a relegation struggle.

Well, 8 games in and not only are we in a relegation struggle, we’re bottom of the league.

Ooops.

Too many stupid goals are being conceded away from home, one off the back of Smith’s head at Swansea coupled with a dodgy penalty, one off the back of Morgan’s head at Wolves, one soft header from 236 yards at Preston and yet again on Saturday when Rory Fallon has the cheek to celebrate scoring the goal of the season despite the ball being kicked against him from a defensive clearance. They say luck evens itself out over the course of the season, but that needs to start happening now rather than later.

However, it isn’t bad luck to let the ball bounce twice in your own area from a long throw-in and while one goal at Wolves was fortunate, the other four certainly weren’t.

So what’s the answer ?

Getting players back from injury is a must, although quite why so many players suddenly become cripples on Trentside is beyond me.

Change the manager ? Maybe, but then what ? Nigel clough ? Yes. Brian Laws, who has an excellent chance to show what he can do tomorrow, but hopefully won’t ? Wouldn’t mind.

But the rumour is “Big” Sam Alladyce ? No, no, no, no, no and indeed, NO !!! I’d rather have Platt, Kinnear or Megson back, to be honest.
