13 Aug 2026 10:36:28
Deja vu. ?

13 Aug 2026 10:42:01
I said you would change again before end of week. ??

13 Aug 2026 10:46:55
Have to say though, we looked really impressive last night. MGW and Ndoye looked sharp, running the show. All this talk about us getting a new no.9. Kalimuendo is looking like the man. ?

13 Aug 2026 12:28:17
Don't dismiss Jesus!

13 Aug 2026 12:51:43
We have to be honest though, would Wood pass a medical if we were signing him? If not, then third choice is Taiwo (after Jesus, who is better at number 10, and Kalimuendo).

If Woody isn't going to play much, and Kali got injured, I think we'd probably need another player.

Only Woody and the staff know whether he is going to be fully fit again.

13 Aug 2026 07:08:34
Good result, good performance, good shape! Now let's get Munoz in if we can prise him from Palace, with the usual shot going on with them! Solanke has been suggested in the press, but at 28, plus the injuries, is he viable? Was a brilliant striker before he went to Spurs!

13 Aug 2026 08:25:23
The injury thing worries me. The old Solanke would be perfect for our system, but would you risk it if it was your money? Liam Delap would be a good signing if they didn't want stupid money.

The risk attached to both means it needs to be at the right price.

13 Aug 2026 02:12:14
I’ll have him in the team until he’s 45 so new recruits know what it means to put on the Garibaldi.

13 Aug 2026 02:11:26
All this absolute bs about moving Yates on? The only player to breathe and bleed Forest. Incredible attitude, work ethic, morale booster, commitment and is good enough to do the job when required. To those calling for him to move on, bloody Judas.

13 Aug 2026 10:18:07
Spot on Syd!

13 Aug 2026 12:29:37
Yates always underestimated. A great captain, driving the team forward.

13 Aug 2026 15:30:35
Only the hard of thinking (or those who know Jack ? about football) would call for Yates removal, Bse and Syd. Good posts. ??

13 Aug 2026 18:01:37
He proves people wrong time and again. Great player to have in our squad, with so many games to play, we really need players like him.

13 Aug 2026 21:49:23
Every manager at Forest and there have been a few have all rated Yatesy very highly he is an inspirational figure at the club buy then again what do Larry the Ram and recliner boy know about football again

14 Aug 2026 10:02:16
Exactly, Munmad.
Spot on ….. . ???

12 Aug 2026 18:58:34
Where is Hutchinson tonight then?

12 Aug 2026 19:48:08
He's been "Eclipsed". ???

12 Aug 2026 19:52:32
Ndoye 1 nil.

12 Aug 2026 21:41:38
So Ndoye n Malinuendo score the goals. As people who know predicted, players in a new country often have a much better second season. The money spent last year will start to pay dividends (hopefully).

12 Aug 2026 22:28:43
Not too bothered about the game, more bothered about the security aspect of the ground. 11000 thousand people tonight, 45mins to get in, children as young as 5 years old scanned and searched. Totally out of order.

Can you imagine what it will be like against Leeds when it's a sellout, and the city council putting a 2kilomtre parking exclusion zone around the ground. Total s***, they want your money and give you F*** All, only grief.

12 Aug 2026 22:29:58
Or maybe we have a good coach that's getting the best out of them. Either way, let's hope for a good season.

12 Aug 2026 23:11:13
Malinuendo. Don't you love auto-correct? ?

12 Aug 2026 11:46:46
We are going to sign a FB, a number 9 and probably a creative player.

12 Aug 2026 17:39:13
Name them ?

12 Aug 2026 17:59:21
From all the negatives on here, why, oh why would ya want rid of Yates. F****** joke. And I'd actually give Abbott another go.

12 Aug 2026 19:58:10
I find it easier leaving em to it mate, clearly no idea about football. ?

12 Aug 2026 23:13:15
I'd keep Yates all day. Good player to have in squad, and even better in the dressing room. Bleeds Forest.

Who we going to sign? Dunno, but for all the MF talk, I think they need a FB and probs a number 9, although Kali scored again.

12 Aug 2026 23:14:21
Munoz sounds credible.

13 Aug 2026 15:32:18
Good posts about Yates, RRH, Cyclist and Bowie. ??

12 Aug 2026 11:41:12
We are going to sign a Palace player but not Mateta. Glasses wants Munoz, FB.

13 Aug 2026 11:33:31
I'd be surprised if Palace have anything to do with us, tbh, with our mutual antipathy... They are desperate, but not that desperate, I think.

12 Aug 2026 10:35:53
I will miss the game this evening as we have tickets to the RSC to see Kenneth Branagh and Helen Hunt in “The Cherry Orchard” which I’m looking forward to immensely. Especially with a pre performance meal booked in the Rooftop Restaurant looking out over
Stratford on Avon.

Should get a great view of the solar eclipse just before it starts too.
I’ll watch it tomorrow on catch-up Forest TV and look forward to reading everyone’s comments on the game on here... ??.

12 Aug 2026 15:28:05
I envy you, Stokie. Sounds amazing. ?

12 Aug 2026 16:59:13
Enjoy mate.

12 Aug 2026 17:42:03
Rather have an audience with Chubby Brown at the Skinners Arms. Is it just me? ?

12 Aug 2026 18:15:08
Me to Bowie.

12 Aug 2026 17:50:12
I mean how many players and refs do we call Helen hunts stokey. Get your head outta your arse. Being pompous.

12 Aug 2026 19:36:43
Can't wack Chubbs, Bowie. Legend.

12 Aug 2026 19:49:17
Seen him once 30 years ago.
Hilarious.

12 Aug 2026 20:07:49
? Gentlemen, mind you does sound a wee bit bent. ?

13 Aug 2026 11:43:02
Bowie, thanks for the advice but I’d say Chubby Brown and the RSC are not mutually exclusive.
I saw CB many years ago on a right dive in Oldham. He was mediocre at best. Not unfunny but no where near the gold standard for side splitting live comedy set by Tommy Coopet who I saw at the Commodore. He could make you laugh out loud without saying a word.

Bernard Manning was much funnier than CB ( also at the Commodore)
In more recent times I’ve seen loads funnier than CB. Tim Vine, Michael McIntyre, Ross Noble, Jack Dee, Henning Weign, to name a few
Perhaps CB has gotten better material nowadays as he’s become more famous?
Everybody to their own though …..

13 Aug 2026 14:33:19
I'm with Stokey on this. Chubby Brown is about as funny as woodworm on a cripples crutch.
Bernard Manning was far superior.

13 Aug 2026 15:44:17
Fred, mate, I remember Bernard Manning being heckled at the Commodore by some half wit who'd had a few too many sniffs of the barmaid's apron. It was along the lines of "Hoi, Bernard, you fat b******!" Repeatedly. About as funny and abusive as some regular posters on here.
After a while, Bernard went to the edge of the stage and said to this bloke (who was seated near the front, so it was virtually face to face) and said, "Look, when I leave here after the show, I'll get into my customised Rolls Royce, fitted with a private bar, and my chauffeur will drive me to my mansion in the really posh bit of Manchester, while you will be getting on your moped to Broxtowe.

So f*** off whenever you like." ????
With the gales of laughter and cheers ringing in his ears, the bloke shuffled out towards the exit with BM's parting send off, "There he goes, the Godfather of Broxtowe."
I was impressed that it was the perfect put down, and he'd done his research on the local sink estate. Just brilliant. ?????

13 Aug 2026 16:41:56
I don't know about the bloke on the moped, but BM was certainly telling the whole truth about the customised Roller with the private bar and chauffeur.
We stopped it at Cuckney crossroads during the miners strike for its headlight being out, in a situation, having no idea who was in the back.
As soon as BM realised he had an audience, he got out the back and was into the laughs. Told his driver to thump the headlight so it came back on, then the old one about thumping the windscreen to see if the Car Tax disc became valid.
Ended by shaking hands with everyone and giving us the Papal blessing sign of the Cross. Just brilliant, a natural entertainer. ?? ??

13 Aug 2026 17:36:39
Great crack, Stokey.
He was a comedy genius!

13 Aug 2026 18:36:18
Gents, Jethro is hugely underrated, best stand up ever imo. ?

12 Aug 2026 09:33:53
Just read an article regarding Chelski, they've signed yet another player! How? Do they still have Russian mobster money stashed away in a dressing room locker?

12 Aug 2026 10:43:36
If you visit London these days, you are never more than ten metres from a Chelsea squad member. ?

12 Aug 2026 12:35:15
I'm amazed that Man City haven't been punished, with the new season imminent. What's going on there?
Time for the Government's football regulator to step in, I think, and start setting a few time limitations.
It's embarrassing.

12 Aug 2026 07:46:01
There seems to be a debate amongst Forest fans between Milenkovic and Jair Cunha as to who should start with Diamonde and Murrilo in a back 3.

Personally I would go with Milenkovic as he has the experience and an older wiser head.

We can get away with his lack of pace as the other 2 are both quick.

Tyler Bindon and Zac Abbott should go out on loan to Championship clubs that would leave us with Cunha and Morato as cover.

12 Aug 2026 10:10:15
The Serbinater without a doubt for me too. Fickle is the fanbase that this is even being debated. He's hardly put a foot wrong since we signed him. ?

12 Aug 2026 12:29:48
Not that much of a debate to be had. If he drops Milenkovic, he is not as good as people think.

The three won't be fit to play every game. If someone comes in and does well, whoever has been out might have to wait a few games for a chance.



If Ndoye is playing up front, we need a WB. Although I want Eric Moreira da Silva to get a chance, and we still have Savona, I still reckon this system is going to tire the WBs out, and Aina always gets injured.
