Forest's problem in one stat: 8 wins, 8 draws, 15 losses. They don't know how to hold a result. Form reads W-D-D-L-L — the win at Spurs already feels like ancient history. Gibbs-White carrying 9 goals from midfield. Nobody else is stepping up.
Forest's away form tells the real story this season. At home: organized, compact, hard to break down. Away: space between lines exploited repeatedly. The psychological shift from defending your ground to taking territory is where Nuno's system breaks down.

Forest's set-piece vulnerability is becoming a pattern. Three goals conceded from corners in the last four matches. Nuno needs to address this before it costs points in the final stretch. Modern defending requires more than just putting bodies in the box.

Forest sitting 16th with 32 points, just 3 above Leeds. Seven games left, including away trips to Chelsea and United. The City Ground crowd needs to turn up massive for Newcastle (May 9) — that could be the difference between survival and the Championship. Make it fortress-like.
Forest's counter-attacking identity under Nuno is getting lost in possession football. Best performances come when they sit deep, absorb pressure, then explode forward through Gibbs-White and Hudson-Odoi. Stop trying to be City. Be Wolves 2018.
