Nuno will be gone after we play Liverpool and Brighton
No plan B
Two wingers and two fullbacks not getting delivery in but can't see it
Williams made so many mistakes it's unbelievable he keeps picking him
Goalkeeper useless
Now we have ward prowse a winger has to be sacrificed or nuno is toast.
1.) 31 Aug 2024 20:03:07
He won’t be…. Unbeaten after 3 games 5 points (should probably be 7) not a bad start at all. Definitely improved on last season. Too many negative nancys about.
Sels useless….? What did he do wrong today?
2.) 01 Sep 2024 17:17:33
Need more goals from somewhere. No panic as yet but not sure whos going to take pressure off Wood. Its not Awoniyi at the moment.
3.) 02 Sep 2024 09:49:15
The negative posters need to look I'm the barroom mirror Nuno yes had a headache who to bring in but surely that's a good headache to have and that's why he's there, he kept us up and so far unbeaten give him and the new players a chance. well that's my opinion just Jesterimg ???.
4.) 02 Sep 2024 19:33:32
DTP I am with you I am afraid, atm. Your point re Williams and Ania negating the need for HO and Elanga. These latter two not heading for the line to centre to Wood but cutting inside, is loosing us chances and therefore matches.
Sanghera cannot be any better than OBrien, yet he stays the other goes. Jota and Sosa have energy, as does Yates. Jota and Yates were all over. Sadly, it was in 90 mins when Jota and Sosa were brought on. Where was Morena?
The style of Nuno play is identical to last season. We were so lucky that 3 teams were poorer than ours. Surely all fans, Big M included, hope for a better season ie a mid table finish. I cannot presently see that happening.
Folks on this site see the issues. We are armchair critics with very little knowledge, only watching players and noting positive and negatives. However, these points are made as we want our team to do well.
Nuno is being given a chance, but with the current second and third teams next away, it is likely we will gain no more points and then Fulham. This season we have a much better and more skillful squad. Let’s hope Nuno sees what we see and didn’t think on Saturday we could win. So therefore, he played a defensive hand. We need a manager who looks forward not backward all the time.
5.) 02 Sep 2024 22:24:12
Doc, I think you are dealing with symantec's when you say 3 teams poorer than ours, or is it our team better than theirs?
You can paint it how you want, is the rest of the league poorer than City, yes, what a negative way to view things though, doesn't make everyone else shite.
Not sure what Sels could have done about the goal, he's been pretty solid for us to be fair, if he makes a clanger then Miguel will come in.
Sangare is heads and shoulders better than O'Brien, he hasn't ripped up any trees since leaving us, not sure how he keeps popping up, championship player is all.
We've had a decent start to be fair, I know we have harder games to come but jeez, we haven't been played off the park or beat yet.
6.) 03 Sep 2024 19:43:23
I don't think nuno's job is in any danger currently. He has a better squad than he did last year as he actually got options now. He will get some things right but he will also get things wrong, so I see us finishing 14-15.
We get 3pts from next 3 games would be OK.
For Liverpool would go with a 4-3-2-1 to give us that bit extra in midfield. Get a draw there and would be happy. Brighton and Fulham are both winnable games if get tactics and substitutions right.
7.) 03 Sep 2024 22:57:00
Brighton winnable?
Really?
Hope your right and you put a tenner on at what will be at least 4 to 1 odds
There's definitely a good side in our squad as there was last season to, but it's a usual 4 2 3 1
But for me more like 4 2 2 1 1
To much space between players and MGW doesn't get beyond wood to be the number ten most the time that will score
MGW has all the talent but doesn't score enough for me.
8.) 04 Sep 2024 18:36:35
We play the other 19 teams twice. When we play them is largely irrelevant, although playing the perceived top 6 on the bounce could effect morale. Judging a season after 3-4 games seems a little nonsensical. If the doomers are still calling for Nuno's head in Dec, then let's see who's available. Maranakis is keen to tap into the Brazilian market, using Mendes. Having a Portuguese coach seems a logical step to me. In the words of Lance Corporal Jack Jones 'Don't Panic' - yet. FTID.
9.) 05 Sep 2024 14:12:46
It's all academic at the moment, if he wins the next three games. He will be the best manager since the bloke arranging the animals on Noah's Ark????.
10.) 15 Sep 2024 05:58:28
DTP would you like to reconsider your post in the light of a truly wonderful tactical masterclass by Nuno and his team at Anfield?
25 Jan 2024 21:42:33
So Newcastle want MGW, but need to sell
Almiron is one they want to sell to the suadi pro league, but he doesn't fancy it
It's already becoming apparent that a lot of players now not wanting to go there no matter the riches they offer
The bubble has burst already.
1.) 26 Jan 2024 09:08:47
Who'd have thought that playing in front of three fans for £250k a week against a bunch of nobodies would become tedious? Well I never.
Bloody bubble lasted longer in the Chinese Super League lol.
2.) 26 Jan 2024 22:24:13
Well said sutty.
3.) 27 Jan 2024 11:24:30
Ha ha, yes, great synopsis Wonky.
07 Sep 2023 13:05:37
Dennis off to transbonsor on a season long loan
Hopefully he bangs in plenty of goals so we can recover our outlay on him.
1.) 07 Sep 2023 23:36:32
If he bangs in lots of goals, he might realise his potential.
Doubt it though.
02 Sep 2023 00:23:04
Singare done deal
I know you said he wouldn't come edd
Do you think we got a good signing at 30 million?
Personally to give up champions league football and sign for us is a massive coup?
{Ed002's Note - Yes he is a very good player. Hanging on to him may prove an issue.}
1.) 02 Sep 2023 09:47:09
We'll triple our money at least. ?.
2.) 02 Sep 2023 11:27:32
Sangare? I can't believe it finally happened. Origi could turn out to be a pretty shrewd signing too if Cooper can build up his confidence.
Don't forget, we have also signed two Argentina internationals, Montiel (world cup winner) and Dominguez, and England international in Hudson-Odoi, a Belgian international CF (Origi), another international keeper and more really promising younger players.
Add to that mix Danilo and Awoniyi and it's looking good.
Most important of all, we still have our best player, the man-mountain that is Felipe!
Anyone who isn't excited to be a Forest supporter after the last 25 years must have something wrong with them.
3.) 02 Sep 2023 11:42:50
Think we've all seen from Brighton how you can't keep really good players edd, but at least it comes with the advantage of making big profits to reinvest in players while not worrying about ffp?
{Ed002's Note - FFP is not specifically about transfers.}
4.) 02 Sep 2023 13:54:12
Yes Ed, operating losses over a 3 year period?
{Ed002's Note - No, not just that.}
01 Sep 2023 20:01:44
Sangre has arrived in Nottingham to undergo his medical
Just gets better.
1.) 01 Sep 2023 20:50:57
He is the new Yaya Toure. Please get this one done. ?.

Great post Bowie ??.
3.) 27 Apr 2025 18:38:21
Thought the same meself Bowie, just the usual suspects bickering amongst themselves, seems that's more important than the game!.

Complete s**t post DTP, everyone was optimistic when you posted that. Hope your train is late and you don't get home until Monday ?.

Gonna be a real park the bus job on Sunday against city
Anyone that doesn't like that sort of football best not sit back on their recliner.
1.) 24 Apr 2025 07:07:44
Definitely going to be a contrast of styles of football. Would imagine Nunos realising the tactical mind game against Pep!.

Get in citydoing us a favour
Happy days ???.
1.) 22 Apr 2025 22:21:54
Citys done us no favours were where we are because of Nuno and the team and the belief he's put into them ? and long may it continue uredddddssssss uredddddssssss Nuno Nuno nuno.
2.) 22 Apr 2025 22:34:44
Glad you like parking the bus football now skeggs
See its all about results and parking the bus got us to the premier and parking it still doing the business in premier
Funny hiw you never liked it though? ????
You must be finding it really hard to watch ?????
Balloons must be besides himself with boredom not controlling games ??????.
3.) 22 Apr 2025 22:49:56
Basically 9 points from our remaining 5 games would see us above villa, so the city win makes our task easier skeggs
You always need a bit of help from other results.
27 Mar 2025 22:50:45
Well spotted gazzii
Chuhna, these phones are far to clever ?.
24 Mar 2025 19:28:15
Problem with judging players scoring for fun in a league that only has four decent teams, is he faces poor opposition most weeks
Personally 40 mill, i'd rather us sign Cuba if the reported 65 million is correct.
22 Sep 2024 19:09:16
I'm not one to put my nose in pollyred
I think it could be a problem?
21 Sep 2024 18:28:59
You getting moles mixed up with beavers pollyard?
19 Sep 2024 21:11:14
2 tone your forgetting carlo has a mole ??.
29 Apr 2025 14:31:58
Cloughie never worried about the opposition, just played the same way
Coaches now days scrutinise everything about the opposition
The games moved on and the fact you have more than one sub gives more options.
29 Apr 2025 14:17:18
Piece of the old bridge is still there when you cross road towards county hall.

I know forest had the biggest pitch size in 23 in premier but I'm sure we reduced the width this season to accommodate the extra rows of seats at the front of brian clough stand, but I could be wrong
It stood at 105m x 70m or thereabouts.
29 Apr 2025 12:04:58
To be fair the rules are between
90 to 120m x 45 to 90m
Fulham have the smallest at 100 x 65
Whoof Whoof
Man utd biggest at 105 x 68.
{Ed001's Note - for a short period they did try a standardised size in the Prem, but it didn't last.}
29 Apr 2025 11:53:22
Sorry Abbott played at a right back all full backs come in from the bye line when the ball isn't on their side of the pitch, that's normal defending.
