If rumours are to be believed over the course of the past week or so:
Zinchenko out, Tsimikas in. An improvement for me and gives us a player more suited to our style.
Luiz out, Fratesi in. Another where we’d add player more suited to our style, hard worked and can chip in the final third.
Awoniyi out (I’d imagine we’ll be looking to do this), Lucca in. Again another that’s more suited to how we play.
Kalimuendo out, Isidor/ taremi in. Think either give us another reasonable option. Taremi isn’t as bad as people think however would be a risk given his age. Isidor would be my pick personally but think it’ll be taremi.
I think the squad will be in a better place with these deal. Dyche will likely be happier with the options at his disposal so hopefully we can kick on.

Well after that horror show the only changes that need making are the manager and head of recruitment!
2.) 23 Jan 2026 00:07:32
Tsimikas and Taremi look more likely. And they won't make a lot of difference. Lucca might but be he has no PL experience and has played v little this season. We need more on the evidence of tonight.
3.) 23 Jan 2026 10:00:18
Head of recruitment certainly SY. SD can only work with what he’s been given mate….
4.) 23 Jan 2026 14:20:57
I agree to an extent stokey. But he has to change up his tactics, he clearly can’t play this way with the is group of players and if he’s not capable of doing that then he shouldn’t be in charge of us. I remember him saying a few years ago that if he had more quality then the style of play would be different.
I believe some of the players in this group are much better than what he’s previously so if he’s any good he’d be able to get a tune out of what’s he’s got.

And the nay sayers are back in full force!
We're through to the next round of the Europa league and all people want to do is moan. Yes it was a hard fought game and made it difficult for ourselves at times but we're through and that's all that matters.
I think VP will keep us up but people questioning the starting 11 will be the same people that called for him to rest our big name players so you can't have it both ways.
1.) 27 Feb 2026 08:34:09
VP, after the match, more or less admitted the bench isn't good enough to start a match. When the camera focused on him in the first half, he looked lost and needed a brolly McLaren type.
He threw the kitchen sink at it. We looked better and should have scored more. Just to add, the chances we missed are worrying because they show a lack of confidence in our best players. ??
2.) 27 Feb 2026 08:56:39
This was a worrying display, confirming, as all past managers have found, the lack of depth in the squad, as has happened. Both with players and managers, we cannot attract class managers or decent players. This is due to the poor standing of our club nationally. I feel sorry for VP. Last night, he looked like he was walking on a tightrope. He knew if they had been dumped out of this competition, he would have to deal with Big M. I am sorry to say he cut an uninspiring figure at the CG.
Rabbits in headlights, to coin a phrase. Forest may survive by default, ie Spurs and West Ham slip up. I do not see VP as having the type of character capable of instilling steel and fight in this squad. Certain players know they will leave at the season's end, and this will inevitably affect their play as the season comes to a close. VP, I am sure, is a very kind, good-hearted man, but not one you want on your side in a fight.
3.) 27 Feb 2026 09:47:07
I reckon it's a combination of weaker and/or out of form squad players, selected to try to rest people, but also some square pegs in round holes. Murillo had a stinker by his standards, but was out of his regular position.
He might have many of the attributes of an LB, but he doesn't play there regularly at this level and it showed. If players needed a rest, then VP got away with it. But that was risky.
4.) 27 Feb 2026 09:58:59
On the plus side. We did rest some players. We should be a bit fresher for the next games. Cunha looks decent and I don't get why Dyche ignored him. Maybe the rumours about tension with the Brazilian players were true? Is that why we don't have Douglas Luiz now? CHO actually scored a proper goal. Hopefully he'll have one of his rare purple patches and get a couple more in the coming games. Our senior players are obviously crucial.
When Sangare, Milenkovic, Aina, Wood, Sels are on the pitch, we look so much better. I think we should sign a couple more really experienced players in the summer. It's great having improving young players, but you need a core of a few experienced heads. Older players get injured more (Wood, Sels), and young players, especially when they have not had at least a full season in the Prem, don't always step up under pressure.
5.) 27 Feb 2026 11:01:29
Does anyone feel sorry for McAtee. Played in a central role, he got plaudits. McAtee was captain of the England Under-21s and Hutchison played in every match and held the trophy. These players are young and will develop. If McAtee is put on the wing, he survives 45 mins. Another mystery player is Tiawo, even Sean Dyche brought him on from time to time, or is he injured? We, at the moment, don't have a consistent striker.
If VP was determined to win the game, I would have started Jesus from the off because he scores against poor European sides. Sunday is a crunch match - so will they be up for it, that is the question.
6.) 27 Feb 2026 11:04:27
We've got a good side for the Championship and should be able to generate 250 million in sales from the players who leave at the end of the season. Looking forward to games being generally at 3pm on a Saturday. I for one won't miss the Premier League.
7.) 27 Feb 2026 12:20:23
Why would I feel sorry for a bloke on that wage? That looks like he couldn't play football in League One. He's terrible, and getting worse the more game time he has.
8.) 28 Feb 2026 10:51:20
I really don't get it. The goal in the Championship is to get promoted to the Prem and play the best teams at the best grounds. Why wish to be back down there?
30 Jan 2026 10:09:07
Good performance last night was nice to see us play attacking football. Thought dyche got it right last with the selection. Great confidence boost for the lads hopefully we can take that in to the weekend!
I hope we can continue playing football like that in the league going forward we’re more than capable so hopefully dyche let's them play more free flowing football.
26 Jan 2026 17:00:19
Looks like we’re going for mateta and I’ll be honest I think it’s a great signing not just because we add a very good striker but because it weakens palace and will bring them further into the relegation battle.
It reminds me of Newcastle buying Chris wood from Burnley. Buy a good player off a team near you and it helps come the end of the season.
1.) 26 Jan 2026 17:46:33
If we did get Mateta, it would be great listening to their fans having another complete meltdown.
I don't think he'll come to us though, probably hoping for a bigger club.
2.) 26 Jan 2026 17:47:26
Apparently personal terms have been agreed. Fingers crossed it happens.
3.) 26 Jan 2026 19:00:23
He has his sight's on Juventus.
4.) 26 Jan 2026 19:35:13
Red in Ripley they won’t pay the money.
5.) 26 Jan 2026 20:11:48
I've not seen any of the reports as i'm away atm, is there any truth in it? I really hope so, Mateta is an elite centre forward, the sort of player we've not seen since the Collymore days. ?.
6.) 26 Jan 2026 22:42:12
More chance of us all sitting down to a 3 course meal sipping panda pops. than mateta coming to forest ? carry on catching the salmon and don't forget to leave the bones for the big puddy cats ??.
06 Jan 2026 22:42:55
We got super lucky tonight, massive win but Dyche needs to get the players on side or he’ll be gone with a few more defeats.
Nico and Neco outstanding. MGW has some serious cojones to take that penalty.
Baffled by the Jesus hate. He wins balls, holds play up but has absolutely nobody near for him to do anything with it. He’s expected to play 90 mins because Dyche doesn’t trust or like the other strikers so obviously he’s going to be tired later in the game and be less effective. I agree he’s not an out and out finisher and is definitely an area to improve on, though I do think he’d bag a few goals if we played more to his strengths and not expect him to be a target player which isn’t his style (from watching his Botafogo games, I know different leagues etc. )
Either way COYR.
1.) 06 Jan 2026 23:26:14
It's certainly not 'Jesus hate' from me. However, I've said for a long time that the guy simply doesn't fit in with the Forest-way. Maybe he'd be good in the attacking-midfielder role, or maybe as a striker playing alongside a big lad - but, I really can't see a future for him at Forest atm.
2.) 06 Jan 2026 23:56:35
Agree about Jesus, if Wood wasn't injured Jesus would have been introduced gradually, and get up to speed hopefully of the Premier, he's been asked to do a job what is different to what he's used to playing, I mean he does play for Brazil so can't be that bad!, one player I wish we had kept is Jota Silva, willing runner and competitive and scored goals, and he didn't want to leave, can't say that for some of the team at the moment.
3.) 07 Jan 2026 00:22:14
We got var decisions in our favour for once?
West ham got lucky we gave them a goal start on their own patch.
4.) 07 Jan 2026 00:35:43
Neco was superb, one of his best performances imo. ?.
30 Dec 2025 23:14:41
First game I’ve been to for a while and that was an absolutely appalling performance!
Zinchenko…. As soon as I saw he was starting I knew it’d be a hard nights work. He’s awful how he’s played for city and arsenal I’ll never know (I know he started more as a CM than LB)
Awoniyi as much as he’s scored a few important goals for us it’s time to get him gone!
MGW while I’ve seen people say it’s our style that’s killing his game I disagree he doesn’t look interested in putting the graft in that he used to put in, he kills attacks there were a few times he could have played it out wide tonight but he turned back and killed any chance of creating a chance. So infuriating. He needs to buck his ideas up because he’s a seriously good player.
I definitely think we’ve been missing Sangare, I know some people don’t like him, but I think he’s keeps us ticking over and especially helps Anderson do his thing.
While I do think we’ll stay up it’s going to be a hard fight to get over the line! Definitely require a full back and striker in Jan.
31 Jan 2026 12:19:51
Great signing if we pull it off.
23 Jan 2026 14:20:57

15 Dec 2025 08:24:13
Wouldn’t mind us getting Connor Gallagher on loan with the option to buy. Would be good business.
10 Aug 2025 19:21:15
Wouldn’t be against signing him if it’s for the right price. Knows the league and is experienced.
22 Jan 2026 22:00:32
And Dyche!
31 Dec 2025 16:53:21
That’d be my team as well but I’d go 4-2-3-1 with Jesus as the 19 behind kali.
30 Nov 2025 18:50:55
You’d have brought Sangare off? I thought he played well.
28 Nov 2025 18:53:32
Steady on a little if we big our players up too much then we’ll be getting bids left right and centre. Let everyone think we’re no good.
19 Oct 2025 19:30:26
Realistically dyche isn’t a long term answer for us I think he’d be okay until the end of the season to make us more solid and he’d bring cohesion to the club I think.
Then get Marco silva in summer once his contract at Fulham’s expired.
That’s what I’d do.
