You know what they say about teams that "win ugly"... thats the sign of champions!!

100% this.

If its rumoured to cost us £12M to sack him, we think we're down anyway, and we don't really fancy any of the available replacements... I can see why he's still in the job. What a ringing endorsement of Martin 😄

The reckoning for Ralph and Rohl football vs sports republic football?

Now that is a tough one 😂🤣

Can only echo what others have said. That was a poor team performance and will certainly have damaged the confidence of our defensive players. Very poor in an attacking sense as well. A lucky shot, a soft pen, and a free header being our only real threatening chances. Stoke's reserves probably made the better attacking chances tbh.

8min more of this absolute comedy show 🤷😜

8min. What?! 😂🤣

Reality is that a load of people will be cheesed off Martin's blushes have just been saved. Great shot though, pleased for bree!

The 3-4 to Leeds, or similarly the tranmere Cup exit? They were really bad ☹️

This is getting embarrassing. We're comfortably being outplayed by stoke atm. They're keeping us at arms reach and loon far more threatening... Stoke's resveres...

Onuachu furiously telling them how to cross 😂🤣 An out of favour squad player is one of the "leaders" on the pitch for us. Joke really.

Lesley trying to give stoke a 3rd there...

Tall Paul's first goal incoming tonight 😎

Has tall Paul had a fling with Martin's missus? Have to wonder what he's done to not even get a start in this game. It's so obvious we need that physical presence in the box. If we lose this, do we think he might actually get sacked?

Need to cancel the lesley and cornet loans if we can. Both of them are just using up a squad and loan spot with no real benefit to the team.

Big lesley at fault for both goals here, not having much luck is he for a young lad 😂🤣

Big les and cornet both look like awful options. Can we cancel both those deals and roll the dice again? What one earth sugawara thought he was doing for their goal I have no idea. Had a bit of a mare there.

Just looking at that subs bench in the opening seconds... its depressing how far we've fallen since then. Massive shout out to Reed, Gao, and now SR. Absolutely criminal decline.

In all seriousness, Forest are 5th in the league with a much better squad than us 😅. Its hardly a fair comparison is it. Reality is that we should have beaten Leicester, and certainly should have been 3-1 up and out of sight without the appalling officiating. You're hardly making a strong case here.

Good performance today tbh. People aren't being realistic if they expected anything else from this one. Kept it tight, had a few chances to get something, hit the bar etc. Onto the next one. They're playing smarter in recent weeks but just aren't getting any luck. Ipswich, Leicester, Arsenal/city away have all been decent performances. Can see us getting at least 4 out of wolves and Everton.

We should have won at the etihad. Should have been a penalty and 10men.

But we have Tall Paul?!!? Martin really does have favourites and then players he wants rid of.

Who was it who said he was definitely going to get sacked on the day of the charity game?

Sorry Bad Wolf, but if you care to check you'll see Mike Dean was the video assistant referee for the first 9-0 - He would never miss an opportunity to screw us over. I'll always remember Matt Cash's hand ball save as well as a Mike dean special.
