The Swiss internationals comments should worry Forest fans.

Nottingham Forest’s relegation fears increased earlier today as they were defeated 2-0 by Reading at the Madejski Stadium.
The result was a huge blow for Forest, for whom mistakes again proved costly.
Forest are now 20th in the Championship table and just one point ahead of Wigan Athletic in the final relegation spot.
After the game Swiss midfielder Pajtim Kasami was man enough to speak to BBC Nottingham Sport about the club’s current woes.
He was adamant that Forest have the quality to succeed in the Championship and they just need to start taking their chances in order to turn around their fortunes:

“We created a lot of chances, we should have scored… what counts in football is scoring and we failed.
“The only thing we were missing today was a goal.
“The quality is here, we just need the mentality to stay together and fight.”
Whilst Kasami’s optimism is admirable there is no doubt that scoring goals is not the major concern for Forest at the moment.
The real concern is the amount in which they concede. Forest remain without a clean sheet this season and only Rotherham United have conceded more goals in the Championship than Forest this season.
The way they have leaked goals this season will always see Forest near the bottom of the Championship table and until they have strengthened that position do not expect much change.
