I think you can only take luck so far.. Yes, we have been on the end of some dodgy decision, and some god awful referees have taken charge of our games, but you've got to look a bit close to home.
The team is good, not brilliant, but good. There are some fine individual players, and I think the team is 2 or 3 players short of a squad that can take the challenge a step further.
Although we had most of the first half, we had nothing to show for it, and that I think is the main problem. We have no cutting edge. if we would have taken half of those good chance we had in the first half, we would have gone into the break two goals up.
But again, poor defending and poor finishing has cost us.
Forest won because they took advantage of some poor defending and were more clinical in front of goal than we were.
That's been the story of the season, and this is were our problem lie. Ronnie needs to look at this and try and fix pre-season.
Although I dont agree with Ronnie's decisions at times, you can't blame him for that result. We had chances, we should have won the game, we failed to convert. Ronnie does need to try and find a proven goalscorer from somewhere..
Whilst disappointed after the game, when you look at the big picture, like NBDH has said, it's not all doom and gloom.
We've been in the top 10 all season, no relegation, finances aren't in bad shape all things considered, and the promotion charge begins again in a few months.
If you look over the previous seasons as well, we are improving every season with Ronnie. His aim next season will be a definate top six finish.
Depends which way you look at it.
Short term=disappointed
Long term= The future's not so bad..
