Forest are falling for the 'early season effort is enough' trap.
Their fans are cock-a-hoop this morning because they gave us a good game and all thinking, if we play like that every game we will be safe.
Wrong, you won't be able to play like that every game and things change very quickly. The fans are still on a ride and have been dreaming of playing in the premier league, so a defeat is ok.
It won't be long before they are sick of losing and start worrying about relegation and then it becomes a different scenario.
Effort alone will not be enough for the fans, accepting defeat will not be the norm and the players will not be able to play every game with sheer intensity.
It's still early days and everything is rosy, but ask Norwich, things turn shitty pretty quickly. Let's see in a few months whether they will still be saying they are proud of their players after each loss.
They have 2 losses, a draw & a win. Losses away to Newcastle & Spurs are hardly unexpected, even for mid table teams. They were a couple of minutes from getting the win at Goodison too. Pretty decent early set of results for a promoted team, regardless of performances.
