Nottingham Forest fans pile in over 'terrible' Reds after Birmingham City draw

Nottingham Forest fans fumed over their performance at Birmingham City despite seeing Lewis Grabban snatch a 1-1 draw in the Championship clash.

The Reds had looked on course for defeat against the Blues who had taken the lead through Marc Roberts just four minutes after the interval.

But Chris Hughton's side hit back in stoppage time when Lewis Grabban scored from the penalty spot after Scott McKenna was fouled at a corner.

Despite the late jubilation, however, fans were far from impressed by the display and took to social media to air their views.

We took a look at Twitter to see what Reds supporters had to say.

BCP: "Very lucky. Pathetically poor performance, marked by a “lazy can't be bothered” attitude. Very bad signs for next season now clearly visible unless something is done. But what?"

Dave Ball: "That was utterly terrible. Serious questions need to be asked because quite frankly we deserve to be relegated with that lack of desire. Not one person can challenge that and these players should hang their heads in shame after the last two games."

Just Sam: "Words fail. Totally undeserved point. Embarrassing."

Jamie Griffiths: "What an awful game. No idea what the plan was, couldn't even string a pass together at times. Luckily, when we tried to play we got a chance and took it very late on. That point should see us safe now, but hope we play better than that in the final three matches."

Kevin Marriott: Incredibly fortunate to get a point from such an abysmal performance."

Malcolm Herron: "What to say. Horrendous, woeful, atrocious, embarrassing. How we got a point I will never know. This will not be fixed in one summer."

Gray Bolam: "Awful pitch, awful game against a side (like Cardiff) that play an awful style of football. That said - we well & truly nicked a point at the end!!!!"

NFFC Lover: "Never deserved that all awful performance BUT THANK GOD WE GOT THE 1 point!"

Paul Walford: "So many times we don't get that lucky break and get a late penalty to equalise I’ll take the point and move on."

Christopher Weaver: "Performance was worse than the pitch, and I didn’t think that was possible."
