Nuno will be gone after we play Liverpool and Brighton
No plan B
Two wingers and two fullbacks not getting delivery in but can't see it
Williams made so many mistakes it's unbelievable he keeps picking him
Goalkeeper useless
Now we have ward prowse a winger has to be sacrificed or nuno is toast.
1.) 31 Aug 2024 20:03:07
He won’t be…. Unbeaten after 3 games 5 points (should probably be 7) not a bad start at all. Definitely improved on last season. Too many negative nancys about.
Sels useless….? What did he do wrong today?
2.) 01 Sep 2024 17:17:33
Need more goals from somewhere. No panic as yet but not sure whos going to take pressure off Wood. Its not Awoniyi at the moment.
3.) 02 Sep 2024 09:49:15
The negative posters need to look I'm the barroom mirror Nuno yes had a headache who to bring in but surely that's a good headache to have and that's why he's there, he kept us up and so far unbeaten give him and the new players a chance. well that's my opinion just Jesterimg ???.
4.) 02 Sep 2024 19:33:32
DTP I am with you I am afraid, atm. Your point re Williams and Ania negating the need for HO and Elanga. These latter two not heading for the line to centre to Wood but cutting inside, is loosing us chances and therefore matches.
Sanghera cannot be any better than OBrien, yet he stays the other goes. Jota and Sosa have energy, as does Yates. Jota and Yates were all over. Sadly, it was in 90 mins when Jota and Sosa were brought on. Where was Morena?
The style of Nuno play is identical to last season. We were so lucky that 3 teams were poorer than ours. Surely all fans, Big M included, hope for a better season ie a mid table finish. I cannot presently see that happening.
Folks on this site see the issues. We are armchair critics with very little knowledge, only watching players and noting positive and negatives. However, these points are made as we want our team to do well.
Nuno is being given a chance, but with the current second and third teams next away, it is likely we will gain no more points and then Fulham. This season we have a much better and more skillful squad. Let’s hope Nuno sees what we see and didn’t think on Saturday we could win. So therefore, he played a defensive hand. We need a manager who looks forward not backward all the time.
5.) 02 Sep 2024 22:24:12
Doc, I think you are dealing with symantec's when you say 3 teams poorer than ours, or is it our team better than theirs?
You can paint it how you want, is the rest of the league poorer than City, yes, what a negative way to view things though, doesn't make everyone else shite.
Not sure what Sels could have done about the goal, he's been pretty solid for us to be fair, if he makes a clanger then Miguel will come in.
Sangare is heads and shoulders better than O'Brien, he hasn't ripped up any trees since leaving us, not sure how he keeps popping up, championship player is all.
We've had a decent start to be fair, I know we have harder games to come but jeez, we haven't been played off the park or beat yet.
6.) 03 Sep 2024 19:43:23
I don't think nuno's job is in any danger currently. He has a better squad than he did last year as he actually got options now. He will get some things right but he will also get things wrong, so I see us finishing 14-15.
We get 3pts from next 3 games would be OK.
For Liverpool would go with a 4-3-2-1 to give us that bit extra in midfield. Get a draw there and would be happy. Brighton and Fulham are both winnable games if get tactics and substitutions right.
7.) 03 Sep 2024 22:57:00
Brighton winnable?
Really?
Hope your right and you put a tenner on at what will be at least 4 to 1 odds
There's definitely a good side in our squad as there was last season to, but it's a usual 4 2 3 1
But for me more like 4 2 2 1 1
To much space between players and MGW doesn't get beyond wood to be the number ten most the time that will score
MGW has all the talent but doesn't score enough for me.
8.) 04 Sep 2024 18:36:35
We play the other 19 teams twice. When we play them is largely irrelevant, although playing the perceived top 6 on the bounce could effect morale. Judging a season after 3-4 games seems a little nonsensical. If the doomers are still calling for Nuno's head in Dec, then let's see who's available. Maranakis is keen to tap into the Brazilian market, using Mendes. Having a Portuguese coach seems a logical step to me. In the words of Lance Corporal Jack Jones 'Don't Panic' - yet. FTID.
9.) 05 Sep 2024 14:12:46
It's all academic at the moment, if he wins the next three games. He will be the best manager since the bloke arranging the animals on Noah's Ark????.
10.) 15 Sep 2024 05:58:28
DTP would you like to reconsider your post in the light of a truly wonderful tactical masterclass by Nuno and his team at Anfield?
25 Jan 2024 21:42:33
So Newcastle want MGW, but need to sell
Almiron is one they want to sell to the suadi pro league, but he doesn't fancy it
It's already becoming apparent that a lot of players now not wanting to go there no matter the riches they offer
The bubble has burst already.
1.) 26 Jan 2024 09:08:47
Who'd have thought that playing in front of three fans for £250k a week against a bunch of nobodies would become tedious? Well I never.
Bloody bubble lasted longer in the Chinese Super League lol.
2.) 26 Jan 2024 22:24:13
Well said sutty.
3.) 27 Jan 2024 11:24:30
Ha ha, yes, great synopsis Wonky.
07 Sep 2023 13:05:37
Dennis off to transbonsor on a season long loan
Hopefully he bangs in plenty of goals so we can recover our outlay on him.
1.) 07 Sep 2023 23:36:32
If he bangs in lots of goals, he might realise his potential.
Doubt it though.
02 Sep 2023 00:23:04
Singare done deal
I know you said he wouldn't come edd
Do you think we got a good signing at 30 million?
Personally to give up champions league football and sign for us is a massive coup?
{Ed002's Note - Yes he is a very good player. Hanging on to him may prove an issue.}
1.) 02 Sep 2023 09:47:09
We'll triple our money at least. ?.
2.) 02 Sep 2023 11:27:32
Sangare? I can't believe it finally happened. Origi could turn out to be a pretty shrewd signing too if Cooper can build up his confidence.
Don't forget, we have also signed two Argentina internationals, Montiel (world cup winner) and Dominguez, and England international in Hudson-Odoi, a Belgian international CF (Origi), another international keeper and more really promising younger players.
Add to that mix Danilo and Awoniyi and it's looking good.
Most important of all, we still have our best player, the man-mountain that is Felipe!
Anyone who isn't excited to be a Forest supporter after the last 25 years must have something wrong with them.
3.) 02 Sep 2023 11:42:50
Think we've all seen from Brighton how you can't keep really good players edd, but at least it comes with the advantage of making big profits to reinvest in players while not worrying about ffp?
{Ed002's Note - FFP is not specifically about transfers.}
4.) 02 Sep 2023 13:54:12
Yes Ed, operating losses over a 3 year period?
{Ed002's Note - No, not just that.}
01 Sep 2023 20:01:44
Sangre has arrived in Nottingham to undergo his medical
Just gets better.
1.) 01 Sep 2023 20:50:57
He is the new Yaya Toure. Please get this one done. ?.

See Dale Taylor on fire tonight one more for the match ball
Well done lad.
1.) 01 Oct 2024 21:58:14
A nice brace for the lad. Well done indeed.
2.) 01 Oct 2024 23:11:46
Got an assist as well. To me it's a make or break season for the lad but Wigan boss is already impressed before he scored tonight.
End of the day he's 21 so has to do the business this season if he wants to take the next step with us. He's got talent for sure, but is it enough for the premier?
3.) 02 Oct 2024 07:17:10
Only time will tell on that, dtp. But he's definitely going in the right direction. Hopefully he continues doing what he's doing.
4.) 02 Oct 2024 11:23:48
If he's not good enough for Forest, his sell on price could be decent.
29 Sep 2024 23:13:17
Spurs having to get a shipment of Johnson shirts in overnight
Four in for games?
Kept quiet got on with being a good professional and silenced his doubters
That's what good footballers do
Still think we got a good deal though with getting Hudson and elanga for less than half the price
Always grateful to jonno for getting us there and helping keeping us there.
1.) 30 Sep 2024 09:05:46
DTP yes mate pity he’s turned out such a ‘dud ‘ at spurs, ?.
2.) 30 Sep 2024 11:21:51
Get it right Stevie, he's a money grabbing judas 'dud'.
3.) 30 Sep 2024 11:50:42
Gazza ??????.
4.) 30 Sep 2024 13:11:02
Gazzi ?.
5.) 30 Sep 2024 13:37:40
It isn’t him it’s his money grabbing father who was pulling the strings for the move, just like Jed spence. He would have stopped at forest but his mother had other ideas.
6.) 30 Sep 2024 14:58:55
Red vale think gazzi is making fun of a quote from one of the skeg mafia ?.
7.) 30 Sep 2024 15:33:09
See what you mean stevie.
8.) 30 Sep 2024 15:59:47
I always loved jonno, remember fighting his corner at forest, fans saying he was going awol in games. No realising how many defenders he was pulling away etc. I was very sad to see the lad go. Enjoy life son.
9.) 30 Sep 2024 16:59:06
?????? Total dud like Awoniyi. ?.
10.) 30 Sep 2024 17:47:35
Johnson and Spurs 38 league games 7 goals. Stop the world I want to get off ??.
11.) 30 Sep 2024 18:33:34
Best of luck to him. Was you expecting to stay at Forest for the rest of his career? Most of you support the real money grabbers and the ones devoid of all morals that go to Saudi Arabia to play a sh! te standard of football for a ridiculous amount of money. Make up your minds.
12.) 30 Sep 2024 18:36:30
That must be the Awonyi who’s goals kept us up first season back, and the dud that helped us get promoted, and also helped us stay up,
13.) 30 Sep 2024 19:59:29
Polly if you look a bit deeper only one having a go at Johnson no one else, it’s called sarcasm mate.
29 Sep 2024 22:46:50
When a coach of forest is worried about playing Fulham at hone and sets up. the most negative you can I worry
Ipswich faced villa and their coach went to win
No messing about worried, just played their game
It's a simple game that gets complicated when you have a coach with a bad mindset and shows no confidence in his squad
I know who I'm talking about.
28 Sep 2024 21:53:17
Reading the posts below. What part doesn't anyone understand that nuno's tactics don't work at the city ground?
28 Sep 2024 19:34:11
Other than beating Liverpool got it right about nuno.
1.) 28 Sep 2024 19:52:29
No harm in asking Balloons?
Take it easy man?
???.
2.) 28 Sep 2024 19:57:28
So apart from being wrong you were right? ?.
3.) 28 Sep 2024 19:58:27
Bed time. Name your replacement?
4.) 28 Sep 2024 19:58:51
PS Balloons?
So why did that team play so much like Coopers?
Sat back we did?
Where was the "Vast expansive, play"
today then, just tapping into your "Vast knowledge " mate?
5.) 28 Sep 2024 20:03:26
Not sure if it’s Nuno you have a problem with or Balloons and Skegs.
6.) 28 Sep 2024 20:27:25
Rogie do you mean the Cooper that's now gone 19 prem games without a win?
That's half a season lol.
How is what we're seeing now even close to playing like that?
7.) 28 Sep 2024 20:32:36
No rifts please Reds. Our team, we all want the best. Opinions are like #rseholes. We've all got one. ?.
8.) 28 Sep 2024 20:56:14
If you thought that was a good idea to play that team and system Fred
Then God help us.
9.) 28 Sep 2024 21:02:51
No rifts from the skeg mafia, ? there's no need for any like you say scouse everyone's opinions welcome.
10.) 28 Sep 2024 21:19:36
Cooper had his day, I know, however that was very similar to his style of play today, hope that was just a blip on the way to a decent season.
11.) 28 Sep 2024 21:26:19
I said below it was a strange team to put out. Do you think he did it on purpose to lose or was working on a plan but it didn't work out?
If we'd won you'd have had no complaints with the lineup would you?
The guy made a mistake, give him a break, for crying out loud.
12.) 28 Sep 2024 21:48:42
Hindsight.
13.) 28 Sep 2024 23:45:44
He's worked on a plan that hasn't worked out since day one at home
Just look at the results?
It's terrible.
14.) 29 Sep 2024 00:03:28
Fred stop making excuses for nuno
The facts speak for themselves
2 wins in 18 games at home
If rlthat floats yer boat?
Then enjoy
I don't enjoy the results at home under nuno one bit.
15.) 29 Sep 2024 07:25:11
I look at the overall picture.
We're harder to beat and are in a better position than our previous 2 seasons.
22 Sep 2024 19:09:16
I'm not one to put my nose in pollyred
I think it could be a problem?
21 Sep 2024 18:28:59
You getting moles mixed up with beavers pollyard?
19 Sep 2024 21:11:14
2 tone your forgetting carlo has a mole ??.
16 Sep 2024 21:49:50
You should listen to what samba had to say. I have unfinished business in France and his family wanted to return. He did the business for us and we let him go because he wanted to return home.
03 Sep 2024 22:57:00
Brighton winnable?
Really?
Hope your right and you put a tenner on at what will be at least 4 to 1 odds
There's definitely a good side in our squad as there was last season to, but it's a usual 4 2 3 1
But for me more like 4 2 2 1 1
To much space between players and MGW doesn't get beyond wood to be the number ten most the time that will score
MGW has all the talent but doesn't score enough for me.
03 Oct 2024 00:23:45
Stevie is a great bloke skeggs and you have to ask yourself why you and balloons just want to come on this site just to try and wind people up? Because that's all it's ever been about fir both of you.
Even when stokey puts something on it's straight to boring you. Yes, you might think you're funny? But are you? Fine margins.
Supposed to be about football and the cl6b called forest? Tbh you were far better till you met balloons. Like you said in an earlier post that you two had arguments before you met.
Well not everyone is meeting up and some can't in fact most probably can't
To me I've met some great people from this site, but there's a downside to it. For me it creates a clicky scenario.
The people I've met will always stay with me and I'm not going to mention names, but I believe it's not been good for the site overall. My advice would be leave it to being a site where you don't have any other contact than your user name.
It might seem a good idea but is it? Best to imagine sometimes?
02 Oct 2024 23:30:39
Your right skeggs but villa went out after sacking Gerrard and went for one of the best coaches and he's delivered from day one.
02 Oct 2024 23:24:08
We had three winnable games at home though didn't we?
Bournemouth, wolves and Fulham?
02 Oct 2024 23:15:19
My mistake edd thought we'd appealed and they turned it into two.
02 Oct 2024 23:09:15
Not for me carlo
Not a fan of Williams stats are one goal and one assits in two plus seasons
Best aina and moreno
Williams tries hard and gives 100%
But not quite good enough
Good squad payer though.
