"Doncaster Rovers will try and sign Nottingham Forest striker Matt Derbyshire on a free transfer, according to reports.
The 27-year-old is out of contract in the summer and unlikely to be offered a new deal at the City Ground.
Derbyshire will be pushed further down the pecking order at Forest - and allowed to leave - if the Reds complete a loan swoop for Sunderland outcast Danny Graham. "
Quote from todays Sheffield Star
1.) & we'll throw miller in as well. then again, that might put em off ;)
2.) Knowing forest they will offer him a new 5year deal to sit on the bench like blackstock radi tudgay last year
3.) They be no danny graham at forest. too many media/paper talk. rams and fester supporters laughing. let billy do his job. yall all be surprised ;-) COYR.
4.) 21 Jan 2014 20:48:19
Obviously nobody from Doncaster saw the Reading game then ;-) Shh don't tell em!
5.) I think that if two strikers go out on loan we will see two come in graham and wicham is a possible, vaughan extended loan and a defender and that should give us the power to go up the table.
6.) At this rate we'll be lucky if we get 1 signing, never mind 4
{Ed034's Note - it is the 22nd isn't it?? or am I missing something??
7.) Correct, your point?
{Ed034's Note - 'we'll be lucky to sign 1'....the window doesn't close tomorrow. there is plenty of time (but you knew my point anyway)
8.) Agreed, however what I was stating is that 1 signing may take the duration of the window, we don't know how long this could take. So everyone demanding 2 or 3 signings in the remaining time may not happen. Hence "We'll be lucky to get one" (but you knew my point anyway)
{Ed034's Note - we are already talking to agents and we do not just talk to one player at a time. fawaz has stated this. we are part way through negotiations and agreements could be ok anytime
9.) Alright then Ed, i'll be more content when the window is over and going on your sources, with a new player (s)
{Ed034's Note - i was just having a discussion with you about it and giving you my opinion.
10.) No they won't they've loaned billy blunt instead

I have not posted on here criticising DF until now. I really wanted to give him every chance.
There really are no excuses left to make for him now though. He is just too negative, or I should say totally negative.
I can't see the logic. The moment we go a goal in front or even just equalise it is drop back. If it is second half he immediately packs the midfield with defensive midfielders. He basically is too scared to be positive.
Today was the day he said we take the handbrake off. Why did we believe him? He can't help himself.
It is such a shame because I am a great fan of the way he conducts himself away from the matches themselves.
He has the players behind him, he has done well with his signings and he has operated brilliantly within the constraints of FFP.
As a season ticket holder I have stuck by him all season. I only ever shout for the team, never anything negative. I have seen all but two games live this season.
Here is the biggest worry. I am patient along with the three others who I go to matches with but we have decided that we will not be buying season tickets next season or going to away games whilst ever DF is in charge.
When I see the other comments on here from those less patient I just wonder how many will actually be watching next season?
Hard to believe he used to be a forward!
And for those who think we are heading in the right direction, on 28th November last year we were 8pts behind Birmingham in 6th place - now we are 10pts behind the play offs and Ipswich in 6th. How is this progress?
That's where negative football gets you. You have to have the bottle to just go for the wins. Even if you fail the fans will stay with you.
1.) 02 Jan 2016 19:46:48
All out attack with Oliveira, O'Grady, Blackstock, Ward and Walker?
If you fail the fans will stay with you?
Looks like Jack Daniels is talking?
2.) 02 Jan 2016 20:08:05
Well said u reds I don't get to many games as I work a lot but as a season ticket holder and fans that go to most games I would be asking for my money back the way the team is set up week in week out.
3.) 02 Jan 2016 20:10:50
Positive thinking eh? You could do with any sort of thinking!
I didn’t mention all out attack, would just like to see us going for a win when we are in front. How many times have we gone one goal up this season? Then look at how many times we score the next goal…. why change after you take the lead? Just keep playing the way that got you a goal in front.
Do you have an actual point to make, or are you one of those who just criticise other posters?
Fans will stay with a team that is trying to entertain, especially in the current embargo situation.
4.) 02 Jan 2016 20:17:21

I don't ask for my money back because I can see each home game and the odd away game what DF is creating, how would you set the team up and what would the team be?
Remember we don't want any negative losers in the side :-)
5.) 02 Jan 2016 20:40:38
ured
If you have the lead and the other side gain control then things have to change as you can't just keep doing what you are doing, Tesche for Mendes was firming the side up to try and protect the lead and not losing any real threat. If you believe fans will stick with a side that plays attacking football and loses each week then that's fine.
6.) 02 Jan 2016 20:44:06
No matter what i think of the manager, individual players, or the team as a whole, as a Nottingham Forest Football Club supporter it is up to me to go to as many games as i can.
7.) 02 Jan 2016 21:44:45
Positivethinking took the words out of my mouth. Charlton made it very easy for us in the first half and allowed us to dictate. Credit to them for making a change which didn't allow us to continue this in the second half.
8.) 02 Jan 2016 22:06:49
Positivethinking again you miss the point, you seem to have a talent for this!
DF changes as soon as we go in front, when we are on top, usually resulting in us conceding the equaliser with all our attacking players withdrawn, today being a case in point. It makes no sense whatsoever.
Skeg – I would get my money back if I could!
Tomorrownevergetshere…. you seem to hold the type of view of a stay at home supporter. If spending a fortune following the reds and shouting them on all season isn’t what a supporter should do then I apologise.
Meanwhile, I am supposed to accept that I carry on going to watch a team that isn’t entertaining me, managed by a guy who is being paid a fortune by supporters like me, without being able to exercise my right to protest in the only way available, at what he is doing…. You are having a laugh.
9.) 03 Jan 2016 03:38:14
Ureds.
If i was someone that stayed at home that would make me a fan not a supporter.
Yes i would love to be entertained but that is something more and more managers are not interested in, after all it is all about getting the right results that keeps them in the job.
Having said that i'm still entitled to hold my opinions, like you are. One of my opinions is, if every supporter became a fan because of lack of entertainment there would not be many clubs left to support.
During, and after games i talk to other supporters trying to put the world to rights, aswell as have my say on here. Off course it would be stupid to spend money on the club you can not afford, but i feel i must support the club as much as is sensible to my finances.
{Ed001's Note - can you explain how staying at home would make you a fan (which after all is short for fanatical supporter) rather than a supporter? Not sure I follow that.}
10.) 03 Jan 2016 04:03:28
Ed001
The true meaning of a fan may be a fanatical supporter, but to myself a fan is someone that just sits at home looks at the half time, and full time scores, then every now and again looks at the table.
{Ed001's Note - ok, seems odd but ok if that is how you see it, I can follow it now at least. By the way, you referred to it as 'your job' to go along as much as possible. I don't get that either. Surely it is your right to choose to go if you can or want to, but your job is to take care of your family? Do you not think you are taking a game a little too seriously? Don't get me wrong, when the opportunity was there I would go to games every single chance I got, but football clubs are not clubs any more, they are businesses. As such, you are no longer the same piece of the club you once were, you are just a customer, so it is up to you whether you go or not and up to the club to entice you into going, is it not? Maybe I am just getting cynical in my old age!}
11.) 03 Jan 2016 04:11:33
Ed001
I suppose the right wording for someone that stays at home is follower, not fan, or supporter.
{Ed001's Note - now that I would defo agree with.}
12.) 03 Jan 2016 04:36:50
Ed001
Yes my choice of words are poor, i feel i should go as often as i should.
As for being enticed by the club that would be great, and in a ideal world the club would, and in a ideal world the club would only use players that it brings through the academy, or whatever it is called, i usually call it the reserves.
Like you say it is a business now, and most clubs only think short term because of the money lost if relegated, and off course we fickle supporters.
{Ed001's Note - sorry, didn't mean to pick at your choice of words. The way football has become in recent years grates at me a bit. No, a lot.}
13.) 03 Jan 2016 04:47:48
Ed001
Not a problem at all, i like constructive criticism .
{Ed001's Note - that is an unusual trait, but an excellent one to have.}
01 Sep 2015 18:37:47
The transfer deadline has just obscured the real problem. It is very disappointing to see Antonio leave but the real problem is Freedman.
We have had Antonio and Lansbury in our team for nearly all of the last 13 games and we have one win from memory.
That is a team with arguably the best two players in the championship and a decent squad and good youngsters around them.
The team Freedman has set up, put out on the pitch and supposedly motivated should have been a match for anyone in the league.
With all this going for him he has managed one win, in the equivalent of a quarter of a season!
The loss of MA is unfortunate but our manager is a disaster.
We need to address the real problem.
1.) 01 Sep 2015 19:04:29
With who,realistically?
2.) 01 Sep 2015 19:24:32
Nigel Pearson! Bring him home to where he was born, give him a free hand and watch the fight put back into the team! He only knows how to play attractive football not hoofball "!!!
3.) 01 Sep 2015 19:33:26
And he's a thug that strangled a player live on tv and share the same views as his racist son.quick get him in!
4.) 01 Sep 2015 21:30:07
Pearson would be taking over having to put up with the players Df has left him, he would want his own players in in January and if they do not hit the ground running, so to speak you will be calling him to be sacked before we get relegated.
It is just a vicious circle.
31 Aug 2015 15:45:15
Fed up of all this rubbish justifying Antonio sale. Mostly saying it is needed for FFP. He would still be worth at least that much, if not more in January or the end of season, so that reason is not valid.
This is not Fawaz's fault, Freedman is selling him, he said as much in his Radio Nottm interview and Fawaz has indicated he will go along with DF's wishes.
There is no sense to this sale whatsoever, we cannot replace and it leaves all season ticket holders robbed of their main source of excitement for the rest of the season.
It is also a big downer for the players left behind who have consistently said they want the best players to stay.
Big Big Mistake!
1.) 31 Aug 2015 15:55:06
Rules are being relaxed somewhat and with the sale of Antonio we could be out of the embargo by January,so yes it is towards ffp.will he be worth as much if he start mopping around because he's peed off that he wasn't let go to play in the prem?or worst case got injured?
2.) 31 Aug 2015 15:57:48
He had a mardy because we rejected the sheep offer his he the type of player you want at forest spat his dummy out because we wouldn't sell to the sheep?
3.) 31 Aug 2015 19:04:29
I agree uptheforest.Spot on
25 May 2015 20:04:40
I haven't posted on here for a while and am wondering if I am missing something regarding the squad we are allowed under FFP.
I am hoping that the rest of you will update any errors but as a starting point I reckon that our current squad (assuming no confirmed signing as yet) is:-
Lichaj, Mancienne, Collins, Wilson, Fryatt, Cohen, Assombalonga, Reid, Lansbury, Fox, Antonio, Paterson, Blackstock, Vaughan, Hobbs, Burke, De Vries, Tesche, Mackie, Majewski - making a total squad count for FFP of 20.
Add to this the players who don't count towards the 24:- Veldwijk (3 starts), Evtimov (0 starts), Riera, Walker, Burke, Grant and Osborn - (all under 21).
I reckon that leaves us space for 4 incoming and that is without shipping out the likes of Collins, Fox, Vaughan, Mackie, Tesche or Majewski.
All in all it looks like a good base.
Even without Dougie making any additions we would be starting next season with something like:-
De Vries
Lichaj
Hobbs
Wilson
Cohen
Reid
Lansbury
Burke C
Antonio
Osborn
Blackstock
Subs - Mancienne, Paterson, Tesche, Walker, Burke O, Mackie, Evtimov
Plus we would have Assombalonga as a "new signing" half way through the season, Grant and Riera as youngsters standing by and a few "frees" to bolster things up.
I know this is optimistic with injuries etc but I think a bit of optimism might be called for at this stage.
As I said initially I might well be missing something, I am certainly no expert, but things do look quite good to me.
My main worry isn't the embargo, it is just keeping what we have and a bit of luck with injuries.
1.) 25 May 2015 20:35:14
Ureds.
If we had luck with injuries we would have been in the Premiership long ago.
02 Feb 2015 15:04:39
First off and without reservation, I am Stuart Pearce fan and admirer as a player, leader and gentleman. Unfortunately it had become pretty clear he couldn't manage these players at this club at this time. We will never now know what he could or could not have achieved given time and that is a shame.
I understand why he had to go. There was little choice, although a slightly longer time before the new appointment may have been a little more respectful.
I also am a Fawaz fan and grateful for what he is trying to do for our club.
What worries me much more than anything else is the resignation of the CEO and the disruption (with probably more to come) that is occurring.
Fawaz undoubtedly wants to succeed but he wants to run the club from top to bottom. I thought he had learned and taken a big step forward with the appointment of a top notch CEO but it seems he can't help himself and I worry that he sees DF as a yes man.
We fans can only give the fantastic support we do and hope for the best but I worry because Fawaz cannot run the club single handed and I fear that he might fail because he thinks he can, despite all of his admirable intentions.
Good look to Dougie and the team, I think you are going to need it.
Forest fans are the best and you can definitely count on them to get right behind you.
1.) Completely agree with you. Seems strange why that fawaz admitted at the end of last season that he needed a CE because he couldn't do everything himself and wanted football brains in the hierarchy at the club. Now for whatever reason he didn't want to communicate with the CE he wanted at the club. Who knows what's going on??? Really hope freedman gets the fire burning again in that dressing room, because without doubt our squad on paper is top 5 in that division. Maybe it's time to get back to the very basics and ask the players for there input on how they feel we should approach the opposition? At the end of the day there the ones out there kicking that ball about.
09 Mar 2015 16:42:15
He chose swansea over bolton! (wouldn't you) - Swansea have just given him a four year deal and of course we need a winger in the squad unless you are going to play burke and antonio until they drop. which would not be long with the work they put in. oh and he also plays up front.
01 Feb 2015 19:16:49
Says Petrescu is favourite everywhere you look!
Bad news that he came off injured but where on earth do you get christmas info from this soon??
Lol. an unofficial embargo. In other words - no embargo!
Totally agree with poster. It is not a doom and gloom post as someone suggests it is actually an upbeat post. I think a chief exec to handle these negotiations is the missing link and possibly the only thing we still need to get the club ready for real success.
09 May 2016 19:09:50
Which contenders are dwindling exactly, bearing in mind Poyet is still odds on with the bookies?
Typical anti Fawaz post that manufactures a negative in every bit of rumour.
03 May 2016 14:16:32
Pearson was manager when Vardy came in so he gets the credit, same as he should get criticised for bad signings coming in.
Leicester's remarkable form started four months before Pearson left.
Ranieri continued the good work.
30 Apr 2016 19:47:48
No 22.nobody needs to disagree with the rubbish you spout, you disagree with yourself. Until recently you were telling us all how fawaz is cleverly screwing money out of the club on some weird interest payment scam. Now you say he has sunk a fortune into the club as he is useless in business.
Which of the two do you want to go for?
Also you say your figures cannot be denied. why not? presumably because you say so lol.
You really don't have a clue.
28 Apr 2016 22:08:51
Seen an awful lot of your posts, No22. it makes no sense. You attack Fawaz constantly regarding this loan and supporters paying for it through the turnstiles.
I hope you don't actually believe your own posts.
How can I pay for anything through the turnstile other than the game I am going to watch? I pay the going rate for Championship and know when I go that it is going to be dross but they are my team!
There are many supporters up and down the country doing exactly the same. it is called supporting your team.
Regarding the loan, it is all interest free and only ever repayable as and when Forest can manage that (if ever) and this is omitted from your posts.
I don't know Fawaz, I don't pretend to know what I don't, but at the risk of stating the obvious, we would be in a much worse mess without him.
15 Apr 2016 16:28:10
You give yourself away ed. Liverpool fans and Everton fans live quite happily side by side and are happy for each other's successes. I know as half my family are scousers, some red some blue. As for living in the past, you can't have a conversation for more than two minutes with a Liverpool fan before mention of Bill Shankly, King Kenny, standing on the Kop and the Beatles. Where ever you are from Ed it ain't Liverpool lol.
{Ed001's Note - you really have no idea. I am from Bootle, and you clearly know f all about my city.}
