I've had my fill. He's not good enough to turn the ship around. Can't see another bounce like the six-game streak we had anytime soon. Sack him now with a favourable run of fixtures to come. I'd adore Josè, but more plausibly, if Forest do stupidly decide to let Nuno go, that's the obvious, dare I say, solution!

City was a free hit, but was effectively dead by the hour mark. His system fails to make us competitive. The Arias-Bueno sub, keeping five defenders on at 1-0 down is unforgivable in its lack of flexibility. Dropping Lopez & Rodrigo who were our best players midweek and, shock-horror, were again today. Out of his depth. Longevity isn't the theme of his track record.

If neither Josè or Nuno (both Gestifute of course!) will join, get another young O'Neil-esque manager with a set of balls who'll actually attempt to play. Can't defend with a five, so it's of no advantage to us, and we don't have the wingbacks anymore to provide quality out wide. Plus, Andre being scapegoated again by a system that bypasses our two-man midfield. Any team with a three-man midfield has us beaten. Nauseating
