Been thinking about this today. Things don't seem to have changed much over the past few months but what has changed is the optimism around the club. I was a fan of Cooper, I think he did a really good job with all the changes and what he did really well was to keep the team positive. After every loss it was "we look forwards", "next man up", " we go again". Now it's "it was a definite red card", "we should have had a penalty". The positivity has gone. Whether this is down to the change in manager, the players that have left (Mangala, Worral, Johnson. ) or the situation we are in with the potential points deduction I don't know, probably a bit of all. What needs to change is the mindset and getting the team to look forwards again. Until then they will only be looking back and thinking about what might have been instead of thinking about what they can still change.

Hopefully the points deduction sorted before this Friday that would be a big weight lifted but other than that we need to focus on points and winning.

Well said French - I totally agree. If we do end up going back to Championship football I would like us to go down with at least some fight and not be remembered as the 'whingers'.

Exactly, focus only on what you can control. Martin O'Neil, Psycho or, dare I say it, Cooper would never let an entire press conference be about the previous game.

I posted yesterday about the soul of the club we know having disappeared recently. Of course clubs evolve particularly in the Prem, but we see now assorted loanees, here today gone tomorrow players, some retiring in a couple of months, others who might never get a game. For me a successful team needs a regular spine producing consistent performances and, sorry, but we are nowhere near that. I have called our team the 'Nottingham Forest Premier Eleven' ( previously called NFFC)
