Micah Richards noticed something very ‘weird’ about Nottingham Forest’s loss to Newcastle United..
Nottingham Forest were beaten 4-3 by Newcastle at St James’ Park in the Premier League on Saturday and ultimately, the Reds were the architects of their own downfall.
Conceding four goals in 11 minutes is just not acceptable. Forest had some misfortune with VAR but ultimately, that wasn’t the reason for this latest defeat in the top-flight.
The Reds are clinging on to their place in the top five of the Premier League. Forest need to make sure they regain their focus with Arsenal and Manchester City coming next in the top flight.
There were some decent performances at Newcastle. Andy Hinchcliffe praised Murillo, whilst it was great to see Callum Hudson-Odoi back on the pitch starting games once again.

Micah Richards admits Nottingham Forest surprised him vs Newcastle
This wasn’t the level of performance that Forest fans have grown to love from their team this season, with Nuno Espirito Santo’s team blown away inside the first half.
Nikola Milenkovic and Ryan Yates did score to make things interesting in the second half but ultimately, it proved a frustrating day at the office for the Reds.
Richards admits he was very surprised by one of the traits that Forest didn’t do particularly well against Newcastle on Sunday.
He told The Rest is Football: “It was a really good game. Forest with the goal from Hudson-Odoi set the tempo.
