Nottingham Forest boss Chris Hughton spoke of needing to “solve problems” in attack after his team’s 1-0 defeat at Watford.
For the second successive game, the Reds were beaten by a single goal as Adam Masina’s first half effort proved to be the difference at Vicarage Road.
Lyle Taylor had a late strike ruled out for offside, but otherwise the visitors failed to register a single effort on target.
Finding the net has long been an issue for Forest, and one Hughton admits needs to be addressed.
“We need to start scoring more goals,” he said. “We have spoken continually about if we are not getting them from the forward areas, they have got to start coming from other areas of the team.
Fans' concerns
Nottingham Forest fans have been reflecting on their side’s 1-0 defeat away to Watford.
Just as on Tuesday night against Luton Town, the Reds were beaten by a single goal as they fell to a second successive loss.
Adam Masina’s first half strike proved to be the difference between the two teams, with the promotion-chasing Hornets taking all three points.
Forest improved after the break but still struggled to create many clearcut chances against the hosts, although Lyle Taylor had a late effort ruled out for offside.
Player ratings
Nottingham Forest fell to a second successive defeat as they were beaten 1-0 by Watford at Vicarage Road.
Adam Masina's goal proved to be the difference between the two sides, in a repeat of the scoreline from Tuesday night when the Reds lost to Luton Town.
Here's how Leigh Curtis rated the Forest players.
Brice Samba: Could do very little about the goal, but aside from that, most of his work was routine as Forest began to work out how to deal with Watford’s attack. Did a sound job. 6
Sorely missed
As you make the journey over Trent Bridge you see it, rising into view. The City Ground.
Perched by the river, it stands there noble and proud. The Trent End imposing on the skyline, the floodlights reaching up into the air.
Nottingham Forest’s home.
History, glory, good times, bad times. All encapsulated in that single patch of land.
We reflect on a year without Reds fans.
