Nottingham Forest boss Steve Cooper surveyed the wreckage of a humbling 4-1 FA Cup defeat against Championship strugglers Blackpool admitting: “My players fell well, well short.”
Cooper paid the ultimate price for making 11 changes from the side that had beaten Southampton in midweek.
But Cooper who will have to lift his shaken troops for a Carabao Cup quarter-final against Wolves on Wednesday night insisted: “For their goalkeeper to keep the ball out of the net there should have been some world class saves but we didn’t even get the ball on target and for me that’s as disappointing as the goals we have conceded.
