We asked for your thoughts after Nottingham Forest's FA Cup defeat by Championship side Wrexham on Friday.

Here are some of your comments:

Martin: Happy to go out fighting and scoring goals. Good goals scored by Wrexham. Good saves and not bad misses in the shootout. Don't criticise Igor Jesus when all you have to do is put a good cross in and he'll nod it in. As soon as the dead wood is cleared up, Forest will have a good team.

Tom: That loss is a direct reflection of our awful summer recruitment. Our strength in depth, which that was supposed to address and help us in games like this, is weak as a kitten, and certain squad players need to vastly improve.

Mark: Some of the players do not deserve to wear the shirt again. The fans, along with the owner, want to see the ambition we are making off the pitch a reality on the pitch, but if the same ambition is not realised on the pitch, what's the point of a larger stadium? We need to get rid of those who are not good enough and replace them with players who want to win, but most of all, we need to get in a quality striker. It's taken a long time to get here - please don't throw it away now. Congratulations, Wrexham, on beating a very poor Premier League side.

Sean: Incredibly disappointing. Admittedly, many of these players aren't getting many opportunities in the first team for various reasons, but you'd expect them to either put a claim in for being in the first team or put themselves in the shop to possibly move on. That first half was abysmal, and we only came alive once our established players were on the pitch. Once again, we find ourselves with too many players but not enough quality in depth. At least this is one fewer cup run to worry about so we can focus on Europe and survival.

Aaron: I was never a fan of Sean Dyche, but his tactics are awful. Long balls all the time, which is skipping our talented midfielders, who are proven and can control games. Since coming in, all our players have become worse. Sack him now while we have the chance.

The three goals at Wrexham meant Forest have now conceded 46 in all competitions this season, with bottom club Wolves the only side to have let in more among Premier League clubs - and only one more at that.

But with his side 17th in the league - seven points clear of the bottom three - Dyche's focus will now be solely on keeping Forest in the top flight after an evening to forget in north Wales.

"Forest were nowhere near good enough in the first half," former Crystal Palace striker Clinton Morrison told BBC Radio 5 Live.

"If they had played the whole game like they did the second they would have won convincingly, but full credit must go to Wrexham.

"Forest back to the drawing board and the task of trying to stay in the Premier League."

Speaking on TNT Sports, ex-Liverpool and Real Madrid winger Steve McManaman added: "The story tonight is Wrexham and the journey they have been on with the new owners. Nottingham Forest played their part in this story.

"The first 45 minutes, they may as well have not turned up. That is really disappointing because Sean Dyche trusted some of those players to do a job for him and they didn't.

"He had to rely on some of his big boys. They went to extra-time and that is something he didn't want, so he will be going crazy in the dressing room."

Nottingham Forest boss Sean Dyche, speaking to TNT Sports after the FA CUp defeat to Wrexham: "The first half was completely unacceptable.

"I let the players know and there are certain individuals that certainly know and they have to look in the mirror.

"But the strangeness of football, some players that came on in the second half were a credit and we went on and looked like a Premier League side.

"You can't do that in the first half, it's completely unacceptable. It's unacceptable to me, but I said you have to look in the mirror because that's unacceptable to the badge as well.

"They all knock on the door and say, 'why aren't I playing?'. Well the evidence is quite honestly there for some, not for all.

"I could have taken all of them off [at half-time].

"The tempo, the mentality to take the game on was lacking so badly in the first half.

"Slow, methodical, we have done a lot of work on that. There was basically no intent, no real desire to make a difference. Second half, the changes were terrific.

"The facts of the matter are we've got to make changes. They showed their hand and won't be knocking on my door saying, 'why aren't I playing?' again, that's for sure, that first-half group."
