‘Sums up our season’ is just some of what fans had to say as they were left in hysterics at a shameful Nottingham Forest video.
Swansea City was their opponents for Saturday afternoon, but a disappointing performance from the East Midlands outfit saw them 2-0 down by the 29th minute.
The first one came on the 7th minute, with Wayne Routledge finding Liam Cullen at close range following some fine work down the right and Cullen calmly slotted home the opener.
Then came the unbelievable goal from former Exeter City player Matt Grimes with a magnificent goal from 30 yard out, no stopping it.
Simply unstoppable.#EmiratesFACup @SwansOfficial pic.twitter.com/hnsuR0bmgC

However Nottingham Forest fans could all but laugh at the shocking display their team was putting out and it was summed out with just a few videos going viral on Twitter.
The first showed Gaëtan Bong getting onto the ball, before running with it across the centre circle, and one of his teammates could be seen close by, though Bong then delivered a no look pass to, well, no one really, completely missing the player he was meant to give it to and out for a throwing it went.
However that wasn’t the only bit of action that was shocking, with a second clip being uploaded and this really was the one that got fans crying with laughter.
Carl Jenkinson is seen with the ball at his feet, goes to hit it, but stops himself, has a little tap of it, looks lost and asks fellow teammates for help, then decides to head off on his own before falling to ground whilst in the act. Watch it for yourself below…

Forest managed to pull a goal back through Anthony Knockaert after Joe Lolley was brought down inside the box but referee Kevin Friend played advantage, however any hope of a comeback was crushed minutes later when Matt Grimes was there to coolly slot the penalty kick home to make it 3-1 with 30 minutes left on the clock.
67th minute and it was another for Swansea with Cullen latching onto the end of a beauty of a cross from Ryan Manning and fired home the Swans’ fourth of the afternoon.
Young Oliver Cooper the made it 5-1 to Swansea, slotting home his first senior goal after Lowe’s shot was blocked.
Championship side Swansea City are through to the Fifth Round of the fa Cup, where they will face the winners of Cheltenham or Man City.
As mentioned, fans were left in hysterics at the shameful Nottingham Forest video doing the rounds on social media, see what they said on it…
@jacktwitt: Out fullbacks ladies and gentlemen
@mrsgratoli: I normally try my best to be positive and avoid criticism but fuck me this is dreadful. I hope they all feel embarrassed and come out battling for everything second half. I’m not optimistic though. Has a team ever actually conceded a match at half time?
@TomBarberTLB: it’s one of those that are so bad you come out the other side and can only laugh rather than get angry
