I think so. He's telling us straight. But we may not want to hear it.
But he did inherit a 'beaten' squad. It hadn't been top 6 all season.
He did inherit 'the storm.'
Forest were well broken the minute he turned up.
Forest are being beaten off the field by 6 or 8 clubs that have been 'doing it better' for longer. And until they can stick with something for longer than 6 months you might as well employ Tom Hanks.
SA.
A beaten squad?
It had lost 5(?) league games before his arrival, in reality we were difficult to beat before he arrived.
Martin has lost more than that in less games.
The irony is that Martin talked about a brittle defence in his pre-match interview when he used to scout Forest players as Ireland manager but if anything we’ve relocated that soft underbelly that Aitor had done well to eradicate with the likes of Fox, Figgy, Dawson and Hefele at his disposal.
