National media verdict as Nottingham Forest humiliation at ... (Nottinghamshire Live)

Latest Nottingham Forest news from NottinghamshireLive brings you more reaction to FA Cup third-round 4-1 defeat at Bloomfield Road.

Forest boss Steve Cooper made 11 changes for the third-round tie and was left stunned as his new-look line-up failed to convert a host of chances before being punished on the counter by the Championship strugglers. The Seasiders, in the second-tier’s relegation zone after a nine-game winless run, led at half-time through Marvin Ekpiteta’s close-range finish. Brazilian midfielder Gustavo Scarpa, making his first start for Forest, forced Blackpool goalkeeper Chris Maxwell into a low save and Sam Surridge blazed into the side-netting after beating his man in the box. Cooper was deflated even though this game was sandwiched between a key win at Southampton which lifted Forest out of the Premier League bottom three and Wednesday’s EFL Cup quarter-final against Wolves. You can’t give away the chances we did and miss the chances we had and expect to get a positive result. The Seasiders, languishing in the relegation zone after a nine-game winless run, led at half-time through Marvin Ekpiteta’s close-range finish. Sitting in the relegation zone, Michael Appleton’s Seasiders took full advantage of Forest’s 11 changes to record their first victory in 10 matches in emphatic fashion. "I think we have got ourselves to blame," Cooper told the BBC. Ian Poveda, CJ Hamilton and Jerry Yates struck in the second half before Ryan Yates claimed a consolation. Blackpool's James Husband volleyed narrowly wide of the far post before Forest failed to deal with Hamilton's left-wing cross and Shayne Lavery's scuffed shot found Ekpiteta. Forest's thrilling run to last season's quarter-finals buoyed their ultimately successfully push for a long-awaited promotion back to the Premier League. The Seasiders' fine display saw them net another three goals in just under 25 minutes, before Ryan Yates scored a consolation goal in stoppage time.

Blackpool put aside poor league form to dump Nottingham Forest ... (Times & Star)

Blackpool belied their poor Sky Bet Championship form to beat Nottingham Forest 4-1 and dump the Premier League side out of the FA Cup.

But the same pairing combined again and this time Yates got it right, converting to make it 4-0 and complete Forest’s misery in the 87th minute before substitute Ryan Yates headed a consolation for the visitors in the closing moments. Blackpool continued to chase and harry and the tireless Poveda went close with a long-range effort before the visitors were punished for a lapse in concentration. Blackpool were first to threaten when James Husband fired narrowly wide, while Nico Williams went closer at the other end for Forest, dragging his low effort just off target after a mazy run to the edge of the penalty area.
