Controversy for some.... But

[Dazzer1977]

Can't blame the result tonight on Joey for getting sent off last week. We was one down and 80 mins had gone. Yeah it was stupid but I'd rather see his passion on the pitch than that shower of shhhhite Zamora. Carroll, Henry and Jenus all let us down tonight far more than Joey did at the weekend. If we'd of took our chances v Leicester too we'd of won regardless of Joey being sent off! lots of ways to look at it.

Fact is we lost against Leicester because we never took our chances, not because Joey got sent off. And we lost tonight because too many players out there were happy to be second best. Ekotto was terrible tonight and at fault for the first and second IMO. BUT our midfield were far more at fault. 3 yards too slow and happy to be second best to everything. Forest are a mid table side to 8th, no better.

Let's not be too down though. Still 3 points from top half way gone and pretty much in the same position as we were when we won the league. Loads of games still to play and a transfer which I'm sure that you'll see Harry wheel and deal in to take us up. No need to panic just yet!

He's carried us all season, so earned his silly strop....... Am more ****ed off with the rest of the useless midfield to be honest.

He hasn't carried us. He's been very good, far better than I though the would do, but no so much of a standout as some seem to believe. And definitely not enough to be excused behaving like a tw**.

Just shows how important Joey Barton is to us. Some part of him must of been rubbing his hands after watching that. He's the man who makes us tick. I know it will upset some but tonight it showed how much we miss him (and Austin).

Far more to do with no Austin, than no Barton IMO.

I hope he does mate . Bad night all round , very very frustrating as we should be so much better than that . The lack of effort and basic ability to retain the ball and attack the opposition was embarrassing

We have had one player sent off all season, one of the best records in the country. It happens, hes that type of player who gets involved in everything. Its nothing major, just a mistake. Cant blame him to much for it imho. We would of lost that game or any game in the division tonight. Nobody can score but charlie and he wasnt playing. So it means rangers niil. Same as what will be next to our name on saturday as well if Austins out.

Not the case at all, if Harry decides to utilise one of his brain cells and get creative.

Forest had a defender up front, we can improvise too with someone better than Zamora I know.

Put Hoilett and Phillips up front

Hardly controversial ... Just stating the obvious really
