He's had words with Cooper. Shouldn't really say on here but he said something to him. Yet another disagreement - as Club Captain he should be given some leeway?
1.) 06 Dec 2023 22:19:19
Depends what was said surely? If it was a childish rant then no, if it was constructive criticism then yes.
18 Jan 2023 23:19:22
I first put the news up about Chris Wood about a week or so ago at the beginning of a post. I got the information from some old contacts inside the game. I've heard he's on £80K per week at Newcastle and we've offered to pay him £120K per week! He's alright but that's ridiculous money taking into account that he's 31 and his best form was about 2/ 3 seasons ago. Surely we must off-load Jessie Lingard to balance the books?
1.) 19 Jan 2023 10:46:20
Not keen on signing him permanently but a loan deal would be ok til the end of the season, we need a No9 if Awoniyi is going to be out.
Not concerned by much else about the deal, I trust the club to do what they think is best financially.
2.) 19 Jan 2023 11:02:46
I agree, would be a good loan till the end of the season but not on a permanent I don't think.
3.) 19 Jan 2023 14:26:27
Wood is a proven premier league striker. He’s robust good in the air gets stuck in and is renowned for his hold up play. He can do the dirty stuff has good positional awareness. One one of his stats from last season, of the 15 matches he started Newcastle amassed 29 points. Loan to buy is a no brainier and at 31 has plenty of life, remember we sold chapman to Leeds when we thought he was done at 30ish. His record at Leeds was incredible and I would say similar types of players.
4.) 19 Jan 2023 14:58:05
Yeah fair enough, RR8. He is the type of player that should run well in his thirties, it's not like he's going to lose much pace lol
Nowhere near the finisher Chapman was though, tbf!
5.) 19 Jan 2023 22:37:17
I've said my opinion on wood, but also the position we are in injury wise, probably a sound decision short term.
Centre back now a priority as one more injury in that department and we are screwed.
I'd expect a centre back to arrive on loan from abroad now.
Only four loans aloud two from the prem already done and lodi so I doubt we will buy another center back.
I expect us to sign a permanent striker though as well as wood on loan.
01 Feb 2022 00:02:58
Panzo deal done but can't see the Sam Surrige deal confirmed yet?
1.) 01 Feb 2022 07:11:23
Both confirmed, the panzo signing probably signals the exit of Harbottle and fernandes in the summer though.
2.) 01 Feb 2022 10:04:57
More like a return to Portugal for Figs?
3.) 01 Feb 2022 11:16:12
It's baba fernandes I was referring to TWF, both out of contractin June.
4.) 01 Feb 2022 11:32:13
Both RH and BF are still young lads, hopefully they'll sign a new deal because they've looked decent in the U23s and when given a first team opportunity. Pretty sure if they're good enough Cooper and Brazil et al will want to keep them on.
I trust the club to make good decisions with youngsters, they usually do. Even pre-Murphy.
5.) 01 Feb 2022 13:51:40
Like both signings young and hungry, surridge determined to prove he can cut it as a striker in the championship which I think he will and ponzo a clearly talented footballer who can defend and create chances at the other end, looks more than capable of playing in midfield and chipping in with a few goals too.
Happy days some good signings this window and got rid of a few fringe players too, which will allow our youngsters to get more of a chance.
Bring on the foxes you reds.
FTID.
6.) 01 Feb 2022 14:17:19
21 now sutty and too many in front of them
Riley Harbottle just on out on loan to Wealdstone for a month.
With mbe soh and panzo in front of them I can't see them making the grade at forest.
To me 21 and you should be at least knocking on the door of the first team.
7.) 01 Feb 2022 14:41:27
You may be right Fff79, but I do trust Forest to make the right call.
And tbh, didn't realise Harbottle was 21, thought he was still in his teens.
8.) 01 Feb 2022 15:00:02
His brothers are
Baba 21 as well, I just look at the likes of worrall Johnson, mighten, finn back, getting first team action in their teens, you have to at keast be good enough to go out on loan to a league one or two side by the time your 20.
We have a tendency to keep calling them youngsters even when they are 23 and more.
Some very good kids in the under 18s that need to step up nowadays not have their paths blocked imo.
Swann, fornah, richardson won't make the grade either as forest first teamers.
9.) 01 Feb 2022 16:10:35
All good points, mate. I've not given up on Fornah and Richardson though, they look decent. I'm probably not as ruthless as you :)
10.) 01 Feb 2022 16:25:03
I just think they should be on loan to better standard than national league at their age and we are paying money for players like ponza and soh who are the same age.
11.) 02 Feb 2022 09:59:39
Richardson should certainly be playing at a higher level than the National League - He looked decent in League Two last season, should really be having a go in League One, like Fornah.
I do get what you're saying, although some do develop late. Grabban, for example, was 23/ 24 before he started scoring regularly in League Two and was 25/ 26 before he had his first decent season in the Championship.
12.) 02 Feb 2022 13:44:45
One of the reasons less are going out on loan, is that Brazil thinks the standard in Prem reserves that we are now in is higher than lower leagues.
02 Mar 2021 22:21:57
Anyone who thinks we have 'turned the corner' has been deluded by Radio Nottingham and this experienced millionaire manager. So many in the team who are below the required Championship standard. Luton are in reality a 3rd division set up playing out of their skins. Glen Murray looked like a feeble old campaigner and I'm struggling to see what CH expects from him without pin point crosses planted on his head? Bad substitutions again! Sickening.
1.) 03 Mar 2021 19:36:57
Red hot, don’t think it’s what CH expects of Murray, the problem is that you are expecting to much from him, no other strikers wanted to come, he did and as a 37 year old has shown grabbon and Taylor how to play as a centre forward role.
2.) 03 Mar 2021 20:25:18
Well he would come for 30k a week.
Think fans got carried away by him scoring 2 on his debut.
He needs using less at his age and would be better as a sub.
If lising he gives something different if winning he can hold the ball.
Playing from the off is too much in my opinion especially with 3 games every eight days all hughton is doing is wearing him out.
3.) 03 Mar 2021 21:28:53
Agree Ff79. CH seems to be giving him 69/ 70 minutes which is surely too much for him. Should use him either first 30/ 45 mins or last 20 mins? To be fair to him he needs the odd decent cross or two.
4.) 05 Mar 2021 13:52:35
Not sure what game you were watching but we should have been out of sight by half-time.
It is probably the most first half we have dominated all season. 2nd half wasn't so good but crikey, the bloke can't win, we really went for it but got nothing, play it tight and nick a win and CH is too negative, priceless:)
5.) 05 Mar 2021 19:48:29
Same game as you but without rose tinted glasses.
Doesn't matter what possession we have we can't finish.
Second half "wasn't so good? "
We were second best by a mile.
6.) 06 Mar 2021 14:29:59
Sorry but we are a poor side, think we will stay up as there are 3 worse teams than us, just. Not sure CH has shown enough or has enough to turn it around.
7.) 06 Mar 2021 14:57:12
Maraknackers your a joke you sack a proper manager like O’Neil and Keane treat them with no respect then appoint a clown like houghton get out of our club because your loyalty’s only lay with olympicos your a disgrace.

If it was not for Marinakis we wouldn't exist!
14 Dec 2019 22:49:25
Watson seems to be immune from criticism - his miss today was beyond belief! He can't run, shoot, dribble, pass forward, head and has no energy. Reason why Worrell gets MoM nearly every week because Watson not doing his job in midfield ie holding. Games against Preston (1st half), Charlton, Wigan, Leeds, Hull - no holding whatsoever! He's slowing up play and should not feature in home fixtures. A role on the bench as cover for injuries only - finished at Championship level! PS. Silva has his shortcomings but still streets ahead of Carvalho. Sort it quickly Mr Lamouchi please.
1.) 15 Dec 2019 11:06:51
You get a good 10 games out of Dawson and that's all. he's come back from injury half the player he was prior to his injury. His positioning for 3 of the wednesday goals was shocking. Get Figs and Worrall at the back, get Ribeiro back in for Robinson asap. Sell Carvalho and reinvest wisely.
2.) 15 Dec 2019 16:30:17
As i left the ground and admitt to leaving early a chap was telling me he had heard there had been a training ground bust up don't know if true or not.
3.) 15 Dec 2019 19:05:20
Red hot red I stated on banter site that this wonderful defence has gone to the dogs since Dawson returned. I'm afraid the old one's are being found out the same as our 36 year old centre forward was.
We need strength and speed at this level. Thank goodness its happening now so Sabri can do something about it in January.
Also I have never seen such an unhappy bunch of players even before the game started, completely opposite to about 2 months ago.

Fantastic strike from Anderson, just what you want from him! Think he read my post earlier ?. Let's have one from MGW now! Come on!
1.) 21 Apr 2025 20:51:56
Too many Spurs chances for me.
Hopefully we'll sit in like we normally do. then Boom!
2.) 21 Apr 2025 20:55:12
Danilo and Toffolo, solid first half.
3.) 21 Apr 2025 22:04:22
Toffolo clearance just brilliant, sels again for me player of the season.
21 Apr 2025 20:04:20
Danilo first touch a mistake and we're under pressure. Here we go again.
1.) 21 Apr 2025 20:50:49
Danilo is out there busting a nut for the team.
21 Apr 2025 19:28:41
Ideal stage for Morgan Gibbs-White to command an England squad place - London venue, Herr Tuchel watching and lots of foreign opposition. If he runs the midfield tonight and gets an assist or two and/ or a goal, Herr Tuchel has to pick him. It's in his own hands. Same goes for Elliott Anderson. No complaints if they don't turn up.
21 Apr 2025 18:54:03
I see we're down to 10 men from the start - no chance with Danilo in the team. Hopefully he's substituted in the first half. This on top of no Ola Aina doesn't look good. MGW and Anderson have to give the performances of their lives to get a win. COYR.
1.) 22 Apr 2025 12:12:38
Lol RHR you do tall some serious smack. Danilo is a quality player who had a shocking injury to start the year. I have a friend who play for Australia who rates him very highly. Never understand when people cut down our own.
20 Apr 2025 17:38:55
Dominguez, Danilo and Toffolo not quite good enough for the Premier League on latest evidence. I wouldn't put Danilo anywhere near the first team.
1.) 20 Apr 2025 18:19:57
Not my team.
Just what I heard.
2.) 20 Apr 2025 22:58:32
Carlo 67?
28 Aug 2023 21:32:44
Sounds unbelievably cheap - we should snap their hands off! ?.
22 Jun 2022 19:10:46
Exactly Dreamteam ?.
01 Jan 2022 19:15:31
Fantastic news. Maybe agreed a greater proportion of his wages?
03 Mar 2021 21:28:53
Agree Ff79. CH seems to be giving him 69/ 70 minutes which is surely too much for him. Should use him either first 30/ 45 mins or last 20 mins? To be fair to him he needs the odd decent cross or two.
20 Feb 2020 11:34:31
Yes, would agree back four and keeper best in the Championship. In many games though holding play in midfield has been non existent - desperation football at times! Lots of scrappy wins already - would like to see some more controlled games and more cohesion. And more goals hopefully.
21 Apr 2025 19:22:43
You know a lot Forest 67, you watch them every week. I wouldn't either. Crazy.
21 Apr 2025 19:20:30
I don't understand it either barred. What's going on? Is he carrying an injury? He has far more of an influence on games than Danilo and Dominguez.
05 Apr 2025 22:54:19
Absolutely right DTP.
31 Mar 2025 19:06:41
Not forgetting Anderson - man of the match?
09 Mar 2025 20:33:04
It could be worth £200M to the winner MOSSYRED?
