I can't believe that some posters on here are calling for Perreira to be sacked and move onto number 5 for the season. I see also that the "DinoDyche out" brigade have gone very quiet recently ( apart from one poster who I'm sure will have . "please insert name of presentForest manager here . OUT" inscribed on his tombstone. I can only describe such a post as a mindless, moronic, and meaningless mantra.
I'll say again, when Dyche was sacked so ignominiously after the Wolves draw his record was 22 points from his 18 games in charge, a total that if extrapolated would have seen us comfortably safe and which we can only dream of atm.
Also, 4 points from Wolves is looking more acceptable day by day as their recents results show.
Dyche's Europa record of 4 wins, 1 draw and one defeat, if maintained by his successor, will put us in the Europa semi final.


Be careful what you wish for. Also, who did you expect to take over under our madcap owner? Klopp? Morinho?
Perriera is a highly competent and experienced manager. But, he inherits exactly the same problems as his predecessors . poor recruitment, inadequate squad, interfering owner and impatient fans wanting a quick fix and a squad demoralised and confused by 4 different managers with different styles
Personally, I think he will steer us to safety. But, as per Dyche, Nuno, Cooper ( I leave Postacoglau out because it was such an obvious blunder in appointing him at all) for clough's sake ( sorry Bowie) let's give the bloke a chance.

Stokey the bloke has drawn 3 out of his last 16 Premier League games, losing the other 13 games this season. That will probably extend to 3 draws from 17 league games after tonight, having lost the other 14. Can you imagine any other club's fans being happy with that record? I could actually imagine him going through the season without a win.

It's a very poor appointment. I was no Dyche fan, but honestly this is scraping the barrel. See if I'm not proven right.
Tonight we could well slip into the bottom 3. Getting out of that, with this manager, will be almost impossible.

Again, Frog, mate, I ask, "Who did you expect to take over from Dyche?"
Plus, as per my previous post, the Wolves' ownership had sold off his best players and pulled the rug out from under him. He was given a losing hand from the beginning.

Would have thought that candle for Dyche would have melted away by now. Yes, you'll say it again and again and again. ? ? ? ?

I totally agree with you Stokie, as always. Dyche was the perfect fit. ?

And I do agree with you about VP. He needs time, which we don't have. As I said the other day, four managers, four systems, four different types of man management. We need to make it simple for our overpaid, overworked, poor, hard-done-by millionaire players. Heard Sels has been teaching MGW and Anderson their alphabets, bless. ?

As predictable as Dtp, he used to put the fishing emojis up when his argument ran out of steam. ???

I freely admit Sean Dyche was the man to keep us up, and I was pleased with his appointment. A change of manager does nothing for team morale, especially x 4. This is a factor in how the players approach a game. Tonight is a shop window, and we will see some sterling - pun intended - performances tonight by certain players. VP may or may not be a good manager, but he is who we have got, so support. However, to revert to playing out from the back, just as Sean Dyche had stopped it, is confusing for the players, and Williams' errors at the weekend exemplified that.

How many times has Jesus been up front in the League and not scored? This is Manchester City! Do they have a poor defence - I don’t think so. Surely this was an opportunity to start Tiawo; he can’t do any worse. VP has picked a back 5. Sangare didn’t play his normal standard at the weekend, so for me a doubt too. No wingers, just wing backs. So, in conclusion, either playing for a draw or keeping the score down.

Never been a fan of three centre backs. ??
