Nottingham Forest Transfer Banter

28 Sep 2025 11:40:05
Cant understand when you have a forward that has score 4 in two starts don't get picked the next game and putting a player on with two minutes to go crap.

28 Sep 2025 17:32:42
Its called Angebollocks.

28 Sep 2025 20:03:19
The Greek connection isn't working Marinakis I'm afraid.
You run your club as you see fit and we are eternally grateful you have ploughed millions into our beloved club.
However the appointment of Ange is not coming into fruition.
For once swallow your pride and do what is necessary to Forest back on course.
I hope you have a plan B in place when the inevitable happens to Ange.
COYR.

Midtjylland play tomorrow and then play us 72 hours later at the City Ground, if Postecoglou doesn't get a result in that game, even the give him a chance brigade must realise he's not up to the job!.

28 Sep 2025 12:23:34
From the give him a chance brigade.

The guy has been here 5 minutes, yesterdays result was far from ideal but you need to give him chance to sort things out.

We have a new manager and lots of new players and that will take a bit of sorting.

28 Sep 2025 12:57:38
Right behind you Ginger kid. far too much doom and gloom.

28 Sep 2025 15:19:47
Well the only way he can lift the mood is to start winning ?.

28 Sep 2025 15:23:32
Think the team that started against Betis.
With Murrillo in for Morato and maybe Hutchinson for MGW would win more than they lose.

28 Sep 2025 17:33:44
Ginger: problem is Ange is only a coach, Edu and Maranakis are doing the Managing.

28 Sep 2025 20:10:14
How much time do you give a coach to turn a once tight knit team who have been doctrinated to play Nuno's way?
It's well documented most of the Forest player's would run through fire for him.
Unfortunately the balance of the Status Quo has turned.

28 Sep 2025 10:45:15
Xaka has made a very good point, in his opinion Forest were the better team! But you don't win games unless you score goals, they scored and Forest didn't! Against Real Betis Forest were superb, and should have been 4-1 at least at half time, but couldn't put the ball in the net. The Swansea game was similar, so many chances created but not hitting the back of the net, which gave Swansea the chance to win.
Hutchinson came on against the Macams and created so many chances, how did the we not score?
Team selection let us down again, which gave the opposition encouragement from the start!
Team work - well done the ladies in the rugby world cup final ?
Well done to Europe ?? in the Ryder Cup!
Well done Ange for upsetting the fan base!
Now Forest fans, let's get behind the team and try to show them what togetherness is all about!

28 Sep 2025 11:21:34
Where's Stokey.

28 Sep 2025 12:14:41
The best poster when he was on here by far Rogie, wish he would come back on again and it's not down to any health problems that he's not posted.

28 Sep 2025 12:53:37
Same here mate. same here.

28 Sep 2025 14:14:26
I reckon it's because he had a disagreement with Ed1.
Some of the stuff said wasn't very nice to put it mildly.

28 Sep 2025 15:23:34
Yes I remember that, it was as bad as when ed007 came in here the once. It's a shame Stokey and Edoo1 could meet and just agree to disagree and shake hands.

28 Sep 2025 16:04:47
Stokey's fine chaps. I miss him being on here too.

28 Sep 2025 20:12:55
Red tree keef, Stokey hasn’t posted since ed1 tore into him on this forum.

28 Sep 2025 10:35:34
Too much tinkering with the team imo

The team that played against Betis first half plus Murrilo and Aina when they are fit is our best side

That is the side that should start every game I don't subscribe to this can't play 2 games a week theory these are very fit young footballers who are paid more in a week than most people earn in a year

Ffs let's play a settled team v Newcastle as they are beatable atm COYR.

28 Sep 2025 11:22:02
What side is the settled one I haven't a clue and think the present coach doesn't either, the players, the coaches and the owners need to sort out who is in charge and get on with it. Nuno has built the team and took it to great heights then torn it down with mardy 5 minutes pockets a load of dosh and moves on to the next Chumps ??.

28 Sep 2025 12:32:48
Nuno was demoted and didn’t like it after what he, d done.
Once he’d got his contract he could afford to open his mouth and tell the truth.
The team spirit he built has been shredded and could take along while to restore.
So far Edu, s signings looking very hit and miss, Jesus the exception.

28 Sep 2025 13:30:01
Nuno didn't build the team, Jester. It was built for him. That's why he was first team coach and not the manager. Marinakis had his ego hurt and didn't like Nuno's opinion which he is entitled to. Or not as the case maybe.

28 Sep 2025 15:45:43
I would appreciate it if no one gave any of my posts a 'thumbs up' as I keep getting the blame for it.

28 Sep 2025 17:38:05
No good putting Aina in any XI since he won't be back till after Xmas, the other Botafago chap is also n/ a till then, and Savona doesn't look up to it so we're left with Zinchenko who can't defend. Again we let Omar Richards go - a mistake in my opinion.

28 Sep 2025 18:26:31
Apparently it's only me and you that does it, Silkworm.

28 Sep 2025 21:19:20
Yes, Ravers. Only me and you click on 'thumbs up' and no one else.

My name is Paul by the way.

28 Sep 2025 09:54:08
I'm not one for knee jerk reactions like some on here.
Win ecstasy, lose disaster.
Sometimes you can get real positives from a defeat and frustrations from victory but yesterday. now that was doom big time.
2 central defenders, one of which is dodgy at best and the other 8 outfield players bombing forward like headless chickens. Sels almost dribbled the ball to the half way line at one point.
I want to see possession, attacking football as much as anyone but not at the cost of organisation and some sort of plan.
As for commitment and passion, that was totally lacking too and that's every bit as bad.

28 Sep 2025 09:21:00
Still shocked from last night. The more I think about it I’m sure Impostor-no-clue is masquerading as a premier league manager.

28 Sep 2025 09:10:49
When the fans we’re singing You don’t know what your doing! who was it to? Ange, the Ref, Edu or Mr. M.?
Seems we’re in a simple situation when Mccleash and McClaren came, they both showed dignity and walked.

28 Sep 2025 12:20:36
Trouble is Postecoglous ego is as big as his head, and eventually he will clash with Edu or Marinakis.

28 Sep 2025 09:05:08
You can’t play in the Prem league without strong holding midfielders and 4-14-1 formations with inverted full backs are easily sussed out. Unless you are prepared to change formations and tactics against different teams things won’t work.
We have enough of the right kind of players in the squad to do this, but not a bright enough Coach to do it.
Maybe Nuno had run his course anyway but AP is a poor successor. We’ve done a Man U and are approaching a black hole Mr. m has created for us and himself.

28 Sep 2025 13:31:39
14 in midfield? Is that allowed?

28 Sep 2025 13:57:27
??.

28 Sep 2025 08:00:26
What happens behind the scenes at Forest is pure guess work and it will always be the case. Did Nuno engineer his departure? Was AP the only manager we could get? .
We could blame Edu, as much as a player or manager as from his appt results have slid. Forest have been very poor since the Leicester game ie was that the beginning of Nuno vs Big M fallout. None of our recent managers are poor. SC took us from bottom of the championship to the premiership. Nuno took us on an amazing run in the premiership and into Europe. So what I am saying is AP has to be given a good chance to do his bit for the club equally.
Players play for managers. Wood with SC couldn't score! For Nuno he scored almost weekly. For AP he is not scoring. Why?
ATM the team is not together as a unit, unlike Sunderland. AP has given players a chance like Mcatee, and dropped MGW. Patently we miss Murillo and Ania and the side is weakened. I still hope AP can get the players tuned to his philosophy and soon as the matches keep on coming. There is no other choice, as no decent manager will ever come to Forest the way things have been recently.

28 Sep 2025 08:31:42
Great post.

28 Sep 2025 08:55:33
Looking at the body language of the players it seems that the togetherness they had under Nuno isn't there anymore.

28 Sep 2025 09:08:52
Marinakis will reward success and will also punish failure, when we imploded last quarter off last season and Champions league wasn't obtained, the clock was ticking on Nunos tenure at Forest. Nuno picked up on it and decided to speak his mind!. Would love it if Ange was a success but every optic says he will not.

28 Sep 2025 07:30:06
We were fantastic in the first half against Real Betis probably the best I’ve seen Forest for some years.

Unfortunately Ange took Sunderland to lightly with his team selection playing Wood and Dominguez. AP should have played his strongest team and gone at Sunderland from the start.

Some of the fans are not convinced by him but a good performance and a win yesterday might have got them on side.

Positives we created chances and Hutchinson looked a handful.

Keep the Faith.

28 Sep 2025 02:09:08
Reading several posts below it seems some of our fanbase are reveling in another defeat, why so many laughing emojis?

???.

28 Sep 2025 08:47:20
Nobody is revelling at all red!
The emoji's were sarcasm as it's a banter site.
Sunderland were taken too lightly and we were expected to win.
Ange should of taken this as opportunity to play a strong team but he chose not too.
Jesus should of played from the start and not word.
The team looks disjointed, confidence is low, morale no doubt shot, poor tactics etc etc!
Marinakis has made a grave error unfortunately.
Marinakis has done great things for Forest but he's undone a great deal with sacking Nuno.
Yes Nuno probably engineered how demise but this could of been sorted in a harmonious manner.

28 Sep 2025 09:17:08
I don't know, but think it started when Steve Cooper lost, it definitely didn't start yesterday ??.

28 Sep 2025 09:56:02
Very good points Red In Ripley.

28 Sep 2025 10:30:25
Thank you Rogie ??.

28 Sep 2025 20:06:44
Yeah well done ripley.

28 Sep 2025 07:39:25
{Ed's Note - Tusole has posted a new article entitled, Chelsea FC No Longer Has A Trophy Winning Policy?

27 Sep 2025 23:51:59
We were unlucky today but Ange did make 2 glaring mistakes with his team selection today Dominguez was not match fit and Wood is out of form

Jesus and either Sangare or Yates should have started

Our defence looks shaky without Murrilo.

28 Sep 2025 09:14:34
I think Sangare and Yates are on borrowed time now, if Ange lasts till Christmas there will be players moved on!.
