We have been robbed of 6 points this season (Leeds, WBA and Preston) . With 55 points we would be in the pick n mix. When so much money is at stake and manager's jobs. it's not good enough and time for VARS.

Good to see Martin sorting out our discipline on the pitch,is today our first game without a booking?
Starting to look like a proper team with discipline and the players understanding their roles and what is expected of them.
Can't do nothing about referees decisions and Martin is leading by example and while he's disapionted,he isn't going overboard about it.
Robinson has been one card away from a ban for a few games now, he wouldn't have managed that before Martin came,he's picked up some stupid bookings this season.
One which cost us the three points.
All in all we are getting better and stronger.
16 Feb 2019 20:21:42
We were out of luck, but what is a real plus is that MON/RK worked out how Preston play and stopped them doing just that. We had some bad luck and Grabban failed to take a chance, but we are moving our formations around and the two central defenders are stopping the old aerial threats and crosses.
We are improving and holding our own. Never give up: other results could surprise everyone. Hang in there and see if we can sweep up a few wins after Direby. This League can change rapidly, teams can falter, players can get injured, We look a much better team now, they need all our help on Monday!
15 Feb 2019 21:02:13
It will be a close game tomorrow but a Forest win with some good favour that we are surely due. I suspect the side to be unchanged tomorrow but sorry would not want Murphy on for the last 15 as happened on Tuesday. He is not able to run like Lolley and I felt the change gave WBA more freedom to run fioreward. Maybe no sub tomorrow or Bonatini.
16 Feb 2019 00:08:47
Or appiah
15 Feb 2019 08:44:49
Preston 1 v Forest 3
COYR's
16 Feb 2019 07:54:39
Yacob for Watson. When Murphy came on you'd have thought he was the player that needed bringing off for a rest. Zero effort to get at the WBA defense.
16 Feb 2019 08:33:38
Appiah played yesterday against Barnsley. So far he's not even making the bench, so maybe MON/RK not so impressed?
15 Feb 2019 07:31:10
We are said to be taking Lateef Odimiji on a trial basis.
15 Feb 2019 14:22:10
So are several other clubs including Premier ones.
15 Feb 2019 14:26:09
Sounds like a french dentist.🦷😬
15 Feb 2019 16:33:19
La teef. nice one tap.
16 Feb 2019 16:09:38
I'd expect him to score a brace then!
13 Feb 2019 22:13:51
Games went our way tonight still 5 points behind it could have been a lot worse feeling like we’ve been thrown a life line
Let’s get something on Saturday and then the Sheep could still catch up
12 Feb 2019 23:03:52
It's nice to hear a after game interview with a Forest Manager, being fair and honest about the game and the player's.
13 Feb 2019 18:10:28
And no er er er er er er every other word
13 Feb 2019 18:25:13
Realist , That's not very good Spanish, how's you're English? 🙄🙄🙄
13 Feb 2019 22:26:13
Just realised my grammar has gone walkabouts!🤢🤣
14 Feb 2019 08:26:21
Send granpar after her then?
12 Feb 2019 23:02:10
Next poor ref decision will be a disallowed goal for us in the last minute for a victory.
When he writes up tonight's match report l wonder if he will put he made a bad call . He will know he has, it's up to the refs panel to make a judgement on his penalty. That sort of decision may cost clubs many millions re promotion or relegation.
13 Feb 2019 05:45:38
Refs make mistakes that’s a fact always have they are only human but what I didn’t like from mason was he never gave himself even a second of thinking time blew his whistle straight away now to me that says he was 100% convinced that a foul as been committed an yet there wasn’t one so how can he give it and the lolley one was pathetic he saw the shirt pull but bottled giving us a pen all in all he should get a 3 game ban an be made to explain to the fa and forest his actions but won’t happen
13 Feb 2019 10:46:56
I actually feel a little sorry for Mason. He was sold a dud by Gayle and that is bad but he was looking at the ball and players feet for Lolley pen and other officials did nothing. I think VAR need improving before being used but maybe it is time we had 4 or 6 assistants maybe behind goals who are there to help with these big decisions? So often one man (the ref) has to be watching everything and linesmen are rubbish and can’t keep up. this season Forest have had some big decisions go against them. is hard to know the answers but the FA really need to sort it as some decisions this season have been crazy!
13 Feb 2019 11:19:14
Gayle should get a 3 game ban for that, it's the only way to discourage people from diving.
Well done Forest, really unlucky not to get 3 great away points.
14 Feb 2019 03:41:37
For me all it needs is the 4th official to be watching the replays on an iPad or something an he could alert the ref through his mic
10 Feb 2019 23:23:23
I've heard some balls in my time. This is the latest theme.
Apparently, Karanka persisting with Grabban taking penalties and playing the lightweight Carvalho even when we needed to be solid in midfield had nothing to do with Forest losing. In fact he was doing a great job and we were making progress and signed some good players.
Wait for it. But now we have a boss who immediately recognises what any smart observer does - that we need another penalty taker - and also plays a stronger young player in place of the lightweight Carvalho which succeeds in keeping the scores down has absolutely nothing to do with us winning.
Oh and now we have strengthened this progress making squad we are apparently going backwards.
DENIAL!
11 Feb 2019 08:56:24
Tough run of games coming up redcyclist
WBA a
Preston a
Derby h
Stoke a
Hull h
Villa h
If we don't win em all the karanka barmy army will soon be telling us that were doomed 😀😀😀
11 Feb 2019 09:38:49
Wba draw, Preston loss, Derby loss, Stoke Win, Hull Win, Villa Win.
That therefore is 10 points out of 18 for Forest.
11 Feb 2019 10:07:16
That won't be enough for the karanka lovers 😁😋😁
11 Feb 2019 10:58:01
Derby loss isn’t acceptable
11 Feb 2019 13:04:49
Cyclist sounds spot on mate you just forgot we need a goalie too.
Mind you got a better one in the stiffs. Steele
11 Feb 2019 15:47:23
I agree, tough fixtures approaching. But they are not the ones that worry me. Well only the ones against bottom half teams. Top 8 clubs rarely beat the mighty Reds!
I'm not sure about the keeper. I think he's had bad games when I haven't seen him so you probably right but let's get a top international WHEN we go up at the end f the season. EVER THE OPTIMIST!
I reckon Keano and MON get the significance of the Derby match since no manager apart from Psycho. The players will be MOTIVATED to another level for that one.
COYR!
11 Feb 2019 16:58:55
I think it's too soon to be comparing Karanka's era with MON's.
Karanka's dismissal was harsh, yet another Manager not given enough time. And the performances under MON have been industrious but not very pretty with mixed results.
Really don't see how you can favour one over the other at present without having some kind of bias or trying to assert some hidden agenda.
11 Feb 2019 17:27:55
Hidden ?
11 Feb 2019 18:36:25
He wasn't dismissed,he just didn't want to work under the owners rules.
Good luck finding any club that will allow him his own way.
11 Feb 2019 20:23:54
Karankas the reason we got this massive squad an also unbalanced one, clearly needed defenders in the summer yet we signed about 10 midfielders lol
11 Feb 2019 20:39:32
And ain't that the truth, the amount of holding midfielders he had was and is ridiculous.
11 Feb 2019 21:00:26
Cyclist are you really that naive to think MON didn’t know who our penalty taker was and how many he’s missed this season before Saturday? If MON had given the job to someone else I would respect your argument but he allowed him to take it so get over it.
11 Feb 2019 21:18:43
We’ve currently got 6 holding midfielders - ludicrous !
11 Feb 2019 22:28:03
Time somebody got on their red bike!🙄🙄🙄
12 Feb 2019 00:24:52
Is it Redinexile back. It was your opinion that we were doomed to lose if we played Osbourne at left back and didn't play Carvalho wasn't it?
You were wrong. Eat some humble pie.
12 Feb 2019 12:36:21
We didn't need defenders in the Summer. We had Figs, Fox and Worrall, then went on to sign Dawson and Hefele. Five was enough, so much so that we were able to send Worrall out on loan and at the time no one complained. don't try and change the past to suit your agenda.
12 Feb 2019 14:03:31
Don't need to eat humble pie mate I opened the shop remember?
Why is it you never read posts properly before spouting nonsense ? Where is the bit about DOOMED when I posted win or draw?
I'm posting you some bike clips to stop all your bull running down your leg🤡🤣🤣🤣
12 Feb 2019 21:04:25
we did need defenders like a proper left back an all the defenders we bought were injury prone an u can’t call fox a centre back what we didn’t need is 6 centre mids
13 Feb 2019 10:52:48
In the championship there is always ‘tough games coming up’ I actually think the next 7-8 games are winnable and potentially will change everything. We have a fair few home games (which we have done well in most the season) and we haven’t got to play any of top 8 apart from Derby but against Derby form goes out the window a bit.
Is impossible to really predict much in this league but we are looking tough to beat this season and think there are signs we are starting to take chances lately.
Preston away will be hard and Derby but other games coming up I expect us to take quite a few points in and others will drop points as they play each other! I am still believing that we can be this season Fulham!
09 Feb 2019 18:46:41
Every goalie in the league knows where Grabban puts the penalty, get someone else to take them Martin 😞
09 Feb 2019 19:21:22
Taking penalties is more about power and hitting the target rather than which part of the goal you aim for.
The goalkeeper can get it right where you will place the ball, but if it is hard enough, and off course get on target,the speed will much more often than not beat the goalkeeper.
09 Feb 2019 19:33:02
Yes but they don't know where he's putting his shot in till their picking it out the net??
09 Feb 2019 21:16:01
Judging by his interview after someone else will be taking them lol
10 Feb 2019 11:01:52
Redtree, I saw Martins interview on the highlights show this morning, and you are right.
Martin on being told by the presenter i'm no manager and and i would not tell you what to do, but Grabban has missed 4 of his last 7 penalties perhaps someone else should take them Martin said i might agree with you on that.
He went on to praise Grabban for the good game he had which was good to see in my view.
10 Feb 2019 15:55:43
Or instead of just slagging off our top striker, the fans could back him to score the next one and the also the coaches could offer extra practice??
10 Feb 2019 16:44:38
What planet are you on Kim.
He has missed 4 out of the 7 penalties. Martin has as good as said he will not be taking anymore penalties.
As far as the coaches giving him extra practice, if he did not listen to Karanka and his coaching staff why is he going to listen to Martin and his coaches.
He is a excellent striker, but has a sloppy attitude to penalties.
Go and give Martin the same message if it bothers you so much.
10 Feb 2019 16:46:08
Very fair point that Kimbo.
10 Feb 2019 23:15:38
We would be top six if someone had taken those four missed penalties. So it is Grabban's fault not Krankie that this team are not in the top six.
Oh no, it was Karanka that made him the penalty taker then persisted with having a suspect penalty taker! One penalty, hears about the misses and MON decides we need another penalty taker. That was easy. You'd think the old boss was as stubborn as his mentor and couldn't change his mind when wrong.
Long live MON!
11 Feb 2019 17:30:37
Blimey red pedal pusher , let it go. Did karanka steal your trouser clips or something ?
11 Feb 2019 22:32:49
Is the Red Cycle a parody account? 🤡🤔
12 Feb 2019 00:27:08
I think we should remind you of your dodgy predictions Redinexile. And no, it's not Karanka that's made me howl, its the people who slagged us off when we knew you lot were wrong about Karanka. :P
12 Feb 2019 09:02:28
Sorry gents but with all the stats around now surely Martin should have known about grabbans penalty record??
12 Feb 2019 14:04:21
RC please do not ride without your bike clips and making a messing on the pavements and road with your bull!
