20 games left - can't see where we'll even get another goal from, let alone a point.

Literally could not do any worse.

Must win game against one of the worst teams in the league. We've played 5 at the back, had 5 shots and none on target. Jones has no clue.

I'd take that right now. I think it'll be 2-0 Forest.

We look a bit brighter but total lack of quality still shows. No end product.

Things were very bad under Ralph. But I reckon we'd have won at least one of the last 4 games. Second half can only get better.

I agree, but so far Sports Republic have failed in all the big calls.

I guess (going back to that recording the club made) just shouting at all the players in training didn't actually help.

Confidence pumping through their team now. This is going to get worse.

We will surely have to consider Jones' position. We are worse than under Ralph. Every game is a new formation with no consistency. And he can't seem to see where the problems are - persists in picking Lyanco/Bazunu etc. Only been almost 4 games but the early signs are we've made a mistake.

It's actually incredible we aren't further adrift !

The performance of a team heading down. Play better, still lose to a late goal.

I see what you are saying. I haven't given up on NJ yet but the reason we probably won't be in the Premier League next year is not the fans fault and nothing to do with deserving anything. It's down to SR's bad decision making in the summer. They've shown a total lack of understanding in what it takes to build a Premier League side. Many of us were sceptical at the total lack of experience and verifiable quality of our signings. We have to hope they've not used the same bad decision making to appoint the new manager. But so far their record is not sacking Ralph in the summer when it was obviously needed, signing the Man City youth team and .. well, we'll see if they got NJ right or not.

Loads of games to go. But right now it's looking more like a long, slow, depressing rest of the season as we fall more and more off the pace. Like supporting Norwich, West Brom or Sheff Utd on their forays into the Prem.

TBF he has no other options on the bench.

Even if that happened, I think it's too late. By January we'll need wins against the likes of Man Utd, Man CIty, Liverpool etc. to stay up. Next 3 games were crucial and we've lost today and does anyone honestly expect us to beat Fulham and Forest? We have no goals in the team.

Brighton are a decent side these days. But we've got nothing at all to offer at this level.

Got to sub Bazinu at half time. Take him out of the firing line.

Nothing I'm seeing suggests we will find the quality to stay up. No goal threat, inexperienced keeper, inexperienced manager and our best players (jwp) off form. Just can't see us turning it around.

😔

He was trying to help build Edozie's confidence. "Anyone can do it"

New manager bounce lasted 2 mins.

Yes, thankfully no VAR.

As they said on Radio Solent just now. Team is just the same as it was before under Ralph. I guess all that shouting that Jones did hasn't sunk in yet.

Pretty much over the moment Sterling came on.
