'Cracks' - why Nottingham Forest fans are worried by recent form

Nottingham Forest fans have been debating whether recent results represent a dip in form or signs of a bigger problem for Sabri Lamouchi.

The Reds followed up a 1-0 defeat to Cardiff City with draws against Millwall and Middlesbrough, before being thrashed 4-0 at home by Sheffield Wednesday.

Next up are games against Hull, Huddersfield, Wigan and Blackburn with some saying those games will define the season.

Forest have dropped down to eighth in the Championship but with a game in hand on those above them.

Here's a look at what fans have been saying when asked if the last four games are nothing more than a blip for Lamouchi, who had started so impressively as manager.

Lee Tilston: Think it's just a little blip and no need to panic, still believe in the squad and manager.. next 4 games are probably ideal. 2 away - where we seem to perform better - and both winnable, then return home with second bottom Wigan...chance to build momentum/confidence going into another home game on New Year's Day

Sharmake Sham'ak: Last 4 games showed that the club needs to improve in all areas and next 4 games will decide if we improve or not.Maximum points of 12 points is need in the next 4 to keep pace with rivals chasing promotion push.

Lee Harding: Personally, I think the next 4 games will decide that.. If we take 9/10 points going in to the New Year we’ll still be in a great position.

BUT huge improvement needed from Saturday’s performance

Malcolm Newport-Dempster: The problem is he hasn't learnt from those games and so we had that terrible performance on Saturday, hope he has know learnt from that, if not don't think he will be around much longer Saturday is going to be very interesting

Andy Fletcher: Big trouble, cracks starting to show, squad not good enough for the final push. Hopfully spend well in Jan.

Ryan Savage: I take at least 9 out 12 points at best. 12 will be a bonus but cant see it.

Richard Leonard: Big performances by players inspire others around them. At the moment we do not have that type of player who you can look at who can consistently win us games .
