Nottingham Forest supporters were left scratching their heads at how Steve Cooper's side threw away a two-goal lead at half-time to eventually lose 3-2 against Bournemouth at the City Ground.
A Cheikhou Kouyate header and Brennan Johnson penalty just before half-time put the Reds into a comfortable position against their managerless visitors. Philip Billing's strike from distance halved the deficit early into the second half before a Dominic Solanke overhead kick proved to be the equaliser.
The encounter appeared to be heading towards a frustrating draw, only for late substitute Jaidon Anthony to pop up with the winner three minutes from time. Here is a selection of the reaction from Forest fans in the immediate aftermath of the full-time whistle.

Grant Fellows: Cooper has to look at himself. Too negative, too slow to adapt when they did. Embarrassing.
Ollie Barnes: Just a reminder that we had fewer points than this after six games last season. Give it time
Craig Taylor: That was bad! Shocking performance, midfield utterly terrible! One of the worst performances under Cooper
Shelley Elizabeth: Hopefully, that will be a lesson learnt, fight to the bloody end, Forest.
Tom Purcell: What a joke. Feeling about as low as you get about football after that second half.
David Bullin: Awful result, shocking second half. First time I've ever questioned Cooper’s selection.
Ash Redfern: Gonna take some time to get my head around that second half and team selection. Really, really poor.
Craig Huckle: Throwing away a two-goal lead in any league is criminal. Three defeats in a row. Cooper got it wrong today. All those signings and the back three are still Championship standard. Don't want to hear it's only Bournemouth.
Jack Pemberton: The worst atmosphere and worst performance I’ve seen since Hughton that, talk about proving the critics right.
