As I appear to be causing much irritation and offence on here I hereby apologise and promise to cease and desist. I’m confident that my predictions regarding SD will be proved right at the end of the season ( as I was right about SC). But, time will tell and I won’t confuse those whose minds are made up with any facts as to progress made.
My golden rule of banter is that if you can’t take it, you shouldn’t dish it out but so be it.
By the way, the dinosaurs were an extraordinarily successful life form, existing for around 200 million years ( in fact when you next see birds in your garden you can see their avian descendants are still around to this day). The large dinosaurs were only destroyed by the unavoidable impact of asteroid (s).
The supposedly more advanced species of Homo sapiens have been around for around 2 million years and will probably destroy themselves by either nuclear war or climate change….
Most us on here support Forest so let’s enjoy it while we can comrades.

I think people forget where we were when Dyche arrived. In the relegation zone.
After the Ange disaster we needed someone to steady the ship and keep us up. If he does that. Mission acomplished. And we should applaud him.
He is what he is. Your not going to get champagne football (like Ange) but its all about results. If you look at our first or best team it is exactly the same as last year minus Elanga and Wood. So all that money spent and the only teo who have at times showed us something is Hutchinson and Luiz. You can't blame Dyche for that.
All that said whatever happens I doubt SD will see out his contract.

Never apologise Stokey, for anything as you always say what is in your own mind and feel correct. I am 100% an SD supporter as I also was SC. There is no doubt we will end up mid to lower table. Our problem is the players that will then feel they have achieved all they can at the City Ground. Who would blame, Anderson, MGW and Murillo if they moved on.
Personally I believe McAtee was bought as a potential replacement for Anderson or MGW.
One aspect of Nunos time is he came in when a squad had gelled with SC. This has happened this season at Brentford. Next season there will be big changes and SD is needed to gel the squad together.

Good and thoughtful posts, Nono and 67. I don’t apologise for my views only for any personal offence they may have caused.
Anyway, back to my armchair navigation with a glass of malt whiskey, woodburner on and heading for the coast of Chile and Peru on HMS Surprise in “ The 13 Gun Salute”!
I give you joy, shipmates! ??.

You obviously can't take it stokie or you would keep having a pop at individuals and their views, when they differ from yours. You say you will be proved right at the end of the season.
Well I say you won't. So let's see. Your pro SD, I'm anti SD. We don't need an History lesson to explain it just watch it unfold. One of us will be proven right.

Stokey grow a pair for gods sake. Sticks and stones mate, would have thought that in your career you faced a lot worse than Ballons, Skegs, DTP and myself not agreeing with you. ??.

Please don't apologise. Varying opinions are what make this site interesting. While we may not agree with every post, it's valuable to hear different perspectives.

Stokey - you're a dinosaur, just admit it. OK you may be intelligent, humorous, learned, well-measured, a staunch supporter and very good company to be with. However, you need to bow to others' opinions on here as they are always right. I would have thought that by now you would have realised that the likes of Larry and DTP are the font of all human wisdom - and, as such, never wrong.
Apart from Larry constantly misspelling your username (unless that is deliberate? ).

Well, I did make Acting Inspector a period long enough to get a rollicking good Inspectors pension but I didn’t have enough “lever” to make it any higher mate! You missed off the “c “ as in C’nt my friend. ????
Don’t worry about me comrades I’ll be sniping from behind the grassy knoll…. In Dychey we trust……. ??.

I'll be sniping at you from the grassy knoll if you keep using the word 'comrades' on here Stokey. You make it sound like a communist-loving, lefty-besty forum!
