'Worthless' - Nottingham Forest fans react angrily to Charlton defeat

Nottingham Forest fans are not a happy bunch following their side's disappointing 1-0 home defeat to Charlton Athletic.

Lyle Taylor's first-half volley as the Reds missed out on a chance to climb into the automatic promotion zone.

Forest boss Sabri Lamouchi made five changes to the side that had started the 2-0 victory over promotion rivals Leeds United.

And the Reds were unable to build on that result as they left the City Ground frustrated and empty-handed.

Here's what Forest fans were saying after the match on Twitter...

YouAreMyForest: Still all to play for but so disappointing after Saturday.

Timoe: Sabri made a mistake tonight. A complete joke

Ewan: Love the bloke but has to be said this is Sabri's fault.

@FoodAndFifa99: If it’s not broken then why break it ?

Nick Mellor: I can't believe what's happened tonight.

Gaurav Gupta: The sad thing is all the confidence has now been unnecessarily lost before a tough game against West Brom. What was the need for that many changes. Their keeper wont have an easier game all season. So so frustrating.

Hannah Forest: I feel very angry tonight as a win would have put us second with Brentford and Leeds drawing.

Liam Evans: Can people now see what Grabban and Ameobi bring to the team? They make runs dont always pay off but it works. Walker not a lone striker, defo needs some one with him if going to play him in the Championship.

Barker: Resting players to try and beat West Brom could now end up with us losing tonight and Saturday. I would rather we win tonight and lost Saturday.

Rhiannon Lee: I just dont get the thought process, is that done in other leagues or something? In form, good atmosphere, momentum, pushing hard for promotion... soo... give half your team a rest? You can't just put in your own winter break in the Championship.

Peter Bunting: No Sow, No Win.

Steve 'Woody' Allen: Worst performance of the season.

Paul Martin: Not sure I buy this #nffc injury line at all. Had that been WBA I reckon there would have been less changes.

CGC: 3 Points against Charlton and Wigan are just as vital as 3 points against Leeds and Brentford. Those great performances are now worthless.

Isaac Johnson: Wigan, Millwall and Charlton now this season where we’ve made too many changes and lost 8 points as a result.

Far too many passengers in the squad - hate to say it but as a whole, we’re 100% not ready to go up. Full stop.

Josh: Serious about promotion? Play your best XI. Every game. Woeful.

Charlton. Middlesbrough. Reading. Hull. Forest have been rubbish in every single midweek home game this season.

Tiegan: As much as people may slag him off, Sammy Ameobi was a big miss.
