On tv (08:48) - Steve Bruce now quoted saying that he expects Hobbs to tie-up a move to Forest.

I for one will never believe anything Steve Bruce ever says aggain, but hope your right lol

2.) 31 Jan 2014
Get in

3.) 31 Jan 2014
If he goes to wigan or reading then he's simply gone for money IMO. Forest without doubt the best choice in terms of prospects.

4.) 31 Jan 2014
I posted yesterday that I thought if Hobbs comes then Lascelles goes. Hope that's not the case but fear it may be.

5.) 31 Jan 2014
That would be more than fantastic! And then Vaughan for the rest of the season, it would make it a super great friday!
Don't think we need another striker.

Hobbs is a red. he won't turn his back. the squad BD putting together looking awsome.

7.) 31 Jan 2014
I read an online article in a Hull paper that it was looking like Wigan were leading the race and that we had seemingly failed with terms again. That was from yesterday though.

8.) 31 Jan 2014
I think he has realised and come back to tlk to us pal ps what a game last night that was bums on edge of seats stuff well done billy on subs

9.) 31 Jan 2014
Actually he says likely to go to Wigan where he had a medical yesterday

10.) 31 Jan 2014
Steve Bruce's face when he lost to Palace, wwwwwhhhheeeeeyyyyyyyyyyy

11.) 31 Jan 2014
I think he would be a stalwart, using the french guy as back up. would not be surprised if one defender departed.

Thought BD was quite harsh on lascelles last night.

12.) 31 Jan 2014
If Hobbs comes I would expect Lascelles to go. It might be the best thing for him, following in a tradition of our more successful recent youth, and building a pattern. Reidy left after 144 or so, Daws after 83, JJ after 29, JL has done 15 so far.

13.) 31 Jan 2014
Has anybody thought of the prospect he might be going 3-5-2 which would require 3 quality CB's

{Ed034's Note - we scored four last night against that formation and five against west ham using it, so no

14.) 31 Jan 2014
I can't see why we'd need Hobbs, Collins, Wilson, Halford, Gomis and Lascelles. Seems like one CB too many. Unless Wilson's injury is not recovering to plan or one of them is on the way out. I doubt that Gomis has rocked up just to make up the numbers and be 5th choice.

15.) 31 Jan 2014
In Hulls local rag today they state Jack had medical at Wigan yesterday now I'm not sure of the order of these things tbh but it doesn't look like we will be getting Jack back, I hope I am wrong though

Well played last night lads and many thanks to Fawaz for all his efforts.

Fantastic comeback last night building a team with real character :) Lascelles was pulled out for criticism from Billy both on youtube conference and Forest player which is understandable as he missed the marking on both Watford goals. If this is true could be great for Lascelles development as he would have to fight for a place between Hobbs and Wilson when he is back fit. Brilliant site Ed :)

{Ed034's Note - thanks

I have just been told by someone at the club They expect Hobbs to come for more talks today.

Going by what Steve Bruce said, and by his body language on ssn. IMO, Hobbs will come to us at the end of season on a free, hence the cb from Nice til end of season.

19.) 31 Jan 2014
Also concerned at Davis's criticism of Lascelles!
Not necessary as errors were by others.
Is there an agenda here?
You're quiet Ed, are you saving yourself for the loooooooong haul till 11pm

{Ed034's Note - he had a bad game and davies mentioned it. bit of psychology maybe to bring him back down to earth. maybe it was a way of trying to put of any potential bids today lol

To the dude who says " I don't think we need Hobbs" 70% or more of the centre halves u mention AREN'T good enough! Say we do go up (fingers crossed- though I'd prefer next season going up as champs!) can you imagine Collins & Halford coping with Aguero et al?! They barely coped with Troy Deeney at times! Lascelles is too young to shoulder all that week in, week out AND he under performed last night- quite telling that he didn't have Hobbsy in his ear talking to him and instructing him. as for Gomis we simply don't know yet BUT I'd trust the gaffer who's no slouch- look at who we've signed and the squad in general he knows what and who we need. For me our best pairing is (would be?) Wils and Hobbs with Gomis and Lascelles as back up but what do I know?! Lol
What I do know is.
Ee aye ee aye ee aye oh
Up the football league we go
When we win promotion this is what we'll sing, we are the Forest, we are the Forest, Billy is our king!

See your point on 3-5-2 but they would be two poor examples to back your theory. Executed correctly with good players can work. Did Watford not use it last season beating us twice?

jack hobbs will be signing today i'm 100% sure

23.) 31 Jan 2014
Hope that I'm wrong but me thinks that Mr Bruce is probably being mischievous again.

24.) 31 Jan 2014
Hi guys, I have just read a report also stating that hobbs will most likely return to forest where he was captain of

25.) 31 Jan 2014
Notts Loyal is spot on; Collins and Halford are simply not good enough (even at Championship level) and we looked weak through the middle of the defence last night so unless Gomis is a quality CB, I'll be disappointed if we miss out on signing Hobbs. The gap between Lascelles and Collins was frightening and I was surprised Watford didn't exploit that by simply running through the middle of them.

For me, I'd play Wilson and Hobbs (if we sign him) as our best pairing with Lascelles 3rd choice if either Wilson or Hobbs are injured.
