Murillo played left back, Hutchinson starting tonight, makes you wonder if Sean Dyche is looking on this site ?.
1.) 04 Dec 2025 07:33:38
We told him he needed aerial presence in the box vs Wolves.
2.) 04 Dec 2025 14:54:52
Just in case he does, Sean play Yates more from the start?.
3.) 04 Dec 2025 15:35:41
If I see him in the pub, I'll tell him people on here have been wanting Yates to start.
4.) 05 Dec 2025 18:15:17
Cyclist and Mossy, if I thought Sean Dyche paid any attention at all to this site, I’d recommend he gets sectioned under the Mental Health Act. If he wasn’t mad when he started he certainly would be after a while ……???????.
5.) 05 Dec 2025 22:04:11
He'd be fast asleep after one of your story's that's for sure stokey and wonder where his bedsheets have disappeared to ???.
6.) 06 Dec 2025 11:42:36
????.
7.) 07 Dec 2025 21:22:25
Sean, Sean WTF??.
14 Jun 2025 11:11:32
Looks a done deal with Elanga going to Newcastle, Osula, Isak and Elanga are texting one another like teenagers before a Valentine's dance!. Forest have to make the best of it, take full transfer fee or 35 million and Harvey Barnes?.
05 Jun 2025 11:46:59
Looks like we have signed Jesus I pray it works and he's a monster (Igor) player for Nottingham Forest!.
1.) 05 Jun 2025 14:56:46
IGOR JESUS:
“I really like this club; it’s a club that welcomed me with great affection. The decision I made is another dream I have of playing in a big league, ” he said.
“When you get the chance to play in a big league like the Premier League, you can’t waste it because you don’t know when another opportunity will come along.
“I achieved the goals I had here at Botafogo, winning the Libertadores and the Brasileiro, two major championships. Now I hope to continue my journey in this new challenge in my life.
“Now I have the opportunity to play for Nottingham Forest, and I hope to have a great season there. ”.
2.) 08 Jun 2025 14:53:30
Read a disturbing report that the 3 men from Brazil may never play for us. The Ex director of Everton, who is now a consultant and now works closely with owner suggests owner will 'farm' them out on loan! Can you deliver that?
29 Apr 2025 16:44:12
Seems like Aina is edging his bets on signing a new contract, I think he's waiting to see who's staying or who's going before he signs!, Apparently there's now interest in Anderson from a couple of Italian teams?.
1.) 29 Apr 2025 21:15:11
He’s probably waiting to see if we are in the Champions League next season Mossy ….
2.) 29 Apr 2025 21:44:56
They'll be rumours galore, all summer. Don't panic most won't happen. If a player leaves though, we have to trust our recruitment to get somebody as good if not better, into the club.
3.) 30 Apr 2025 17:37:13
Read a few articles about the possibility of Cash coming back to boost the quota of home grown players.
4.) 01 May 2025 06:22:50
No problem with Cash coming back also Oliver Burke is doing well in Germany, I'd give Appiah a miss though?
Not home grown but if Aina leaves can see us going for Spence?.
5.) 01 May 2025 12:37:08
Burkes out of contract in the summer Mossy, had his best season in years as well.
6.) 01 May 2025 12:40:47
Think I'd stay well clear of Spence though, never wanted to play for us when were relegation fodder, need to go left field and look around Europe if Aina goes, I've mentioned before Munoz at palace, came from the Belgium top flight. There are gems out there.
7.) 01 May 2025 13:19:04
(Dreamland) we should get on the phone to Barcelona and offer a straight swap. Murillo+MGW for Lamine Yamal. That boys outta this world. ??.
14 Apr 2025 03:42:49
Sent to early? The rest might have a roll to play, surely some of them are a better prospect than Moreno!, and getting us to compete on some level with more games Nuno might have to work with a bigger squad!.

If the game goes ahead tonight seems like it will be played in quagmire, ideal for the long ball game, but looks like no one upfront for us to capitalise.
1.) 22 Jan 2026 09:54:30
That's nothing new ?.
2.) 22 Jan 2026 16:24:57
I don’t know much about Braga or their pitch Mossy but modern pitches tend to be well drained and not prone to turning into quagmires.
Any long balls aerially tend to zip off a wet surface and go out for a throw or through to the keeper.
But as we don’t play a long ball game anyway, it’s irrelevant……????????.
18 Jan 2026 20:49:45
Good luck to Jamie McDonnell who's signed for Oxford, Nigel Clough has said, if he had any influence on the decision, he would have advised against it!, might there be a buy back clause?.
1.) 18 Jan 2026 21:40:18
He won't make premier level and its abit of pay back for the years we've put in in terms of money
He'll get to play and have the biggest contract he's ever seen which is great
Five more years till we see academy players of premier standard at forest coming through
If they aren't ready at 18 they never will be
Not being nasty, just telling it as it is.
2.) 18 Jan 2026 22:25:04
Rubbish DTP. Just because players aren't ready at 18 doesn't mean they will never make it in the PL. I think 20/ 21 year olds are the ideal candidates to be introduced slowly to any first team training. Then, I'd say, if they impress in training they should be given a chance for a half in PL football.
Of course it's a gamble. However, look how many 'gambles' on giving our academy players the chance to shine have proved to be the correct decision in the past.
3.) 18 Jan 2026 22:47:27
It's not rubbish lego.
4.) 18 Jan 2026 22:56:02
When dud the last premier league player come through our academy then lego?
I know who the two are and they are the only ones and they where playing fir us in the championship once they where 18 or 19
There is nothing right now in our academy that will save us money and be premier quality, it will come through, but not overnight.
5.) 18 Jan 2026 23:18:32
You've got to admit there's exceptions, Stan Collymore released by Wolves academy then gets found by Palace, I know it's rear, but having a buy back clause is something man city and villa do, some players just need to grow and develop.
6.) 19 Jan 2026 00:09:31
Well, you've got me onto a rather passionate issue of mine regarding our Academy DTP. Generally regarded as one of the best Academies out there to develop youth talent it has become a side-show at our club.
I totally disagree with you DTP - I think if the will and the training support is there we could take some of these Academy players up to the next level. I find it sad that, as a club, Forest seem to ignore this obvious route of nurturing our own home-grown talent at a fraction of the cost of buying new players.
7.) 19 Jan 2026 08:33:21
It's not become a sideshow lego, it was geared up for the championship and its moving in the right direction now we are in the premier league and the teams there are playing at a higher level
We are attracting some of the best 9, to 11 year old out there now, but it doesn't happen over night.
8.) 19 Jan 2026 10:32:26
Ian Wright and Jamie Vardy arrived late into the game DTP?
9.) 19 Jan 2026 11:09:45
Ahmedhovic was never given a chance with us and he's gone to Feyenoord for just over £20 million including add ons.
10.) 19 Jan 2026 11:14:38
I know rogie, but mostly exceptions mate
Once they get to 21 and have never been near the first team squad, they have to be moved on to make way for the younger ones coming through.
11.) 19 Jan 2026 13:19:11
I’m guessing your 2 Academy graduates playing in the Premiership are Johnno and Yatesy DTP.
Harry Kane, released by Arsenal Academy then to Spurs, learnt his trade in the lower Divisions … the rest is history.
John Robertson didn’t impress in our Academy, fitness issues, then Cloughie arrived in 1975 when Robbo was 22…… again, the rest is the stuff of legend
My own favourite late developer was Tony Book. Played non league until he was 31 then captained Man City aged 33 in their glory years ( before their financial cheating era).
For every Wayne Rooney or Trevor Francis there’s an Academy also ran made good ….
12.) 19 Jan 2026 13:59:42
Gary Birtles? Long Eaton Utd rather than Academy….
13.) 19 Jan 2026 14:34:28
Yeh Rogie, what have the Romans ever done for us? ????.
14.) 19 Jan 2026 14:46:20
We had reserve sides in those days when they could play against and with seasoned pros
Your missing the point
There is nothing wrong with the academy, we've just stepped up a level and it will take time.
15.) 19 Jan 2026 15:33:50
"Im Rogiectus! "
???.
16.) 19 Jan 2026 17:25:50
Nottingham Forest rejected
Shaun Wright-Phillips, the adoptive brother of Mark Wright (and son of Ian Wright), as a youngster.
Reason for Rejection: Forest deemed him too small, at 5 feet 6 inches, and not good enough to make the grade.
Outcome: After being released at age 17, he went on to have a successful career with Manchester City, Chelsea, and England.
17.) 19 Jan 2026 17:33:11
Can't help thinking the right staff at the Academy will find the players and bring them on, can't help remembering Paul Harts time at Forest, and the players he discovered.
18.) 19 Jan 2026 18:46:56
If Legolas had his way, Dale Taylor would have been leading our line this season despite me telling him he's bang average.
Managed 2 goals for Blackpool this season. Been injured a while but still made plenty of appearances.
19.) 19 Jan 2026 19:59:10
Well at you least you understand Fred
Always exceptions, but even the ones we've sold for bigs bucks, most have failed barring cash and jonno
Burke
Appiah
Brereton
Worrall
All I'm saying is that players have to be knocking on the first team well before they are 21.
20.) 19 Jan 2026 22:43:38
Fred - that's disingenuous about Taylor to say the least. I've been following this young man's progress for many years now. He's been very unlucky with injuries. However, given the right supply, I've seen enough of this guy as both a kid and a senior to know Taylor is a natural goal-scorer. How many of those do we have in the Forest first team at the moment?
Personally, I'd get him back and get him fit again. Then get him on the grass training with the 1st team and let SD cast his eye over him. I think the guy i'd a potential hidden-gem.
21.) 19 Jan 2026 23:18:14
Lego your living in dreamland
Your hearts in the right place though.
17 Jan 2026 19:16:41
Looks like Anderson is auditioning for Arteta?.
17 Jan 2026 05:57:22
Could be a lot of posters with egg on there faces, including myself, if Nottingham Forest can recreate the FA cup spirit of 2018 and 2022 and defeat them. Come on Lads, get a quick goal and the City Ground will be rocking. UREDS.
1.) 17 Jan 2026 08:41:47
I sometimes think an early goal isn’t a good thing.
True it can get the fans going, however it can force us to defend for the rest of the game especially against a great side like Arsenal and we aren’t playing with the quick counter attacking style we have done in the past.
Still hoping for a great performance, a win or be more than happy with a point.
13 Jan 2026 00:00:21
Never mind getting players in this January, we may well lose a couple, man city looks like going for Anderson and a few clubs seriously looking at Murillo, if we lose them two that 7 points cussion could evaporate quicker than the recent snow. This transfer window should be stopped, just causes disruption and takes the focus from certain player's to the job in hand.
1.) 13 Jan 2026 09:03:25
I'd like to think especially with Murillo he'd show some loyalty, he's developed with us from a boy with no experience into a full international. Also he seems like a great lad so I'd hope he wouldn't cause any ripples in the dressing room if we play hardball with prospective buyers.
Out of the two it's him i think we'd miss the most. Since Dyche has come in i don't think his style suits Ando and games have started to pass him by, probably down to the bypassing of midfield with "have it" tactics. ?.
2.) 13 Jan 2026 09:52:24
I’m not sure of your tactical analysis Red Robin but the loss of 2 of our core players this January, such as Ando and Murillo, would rip the heart out of the team ( especially with Wood out and MGW and Sels not reaching the heights of last season) such that I’d have to seriously revise our survival prospects…….
3.) 13 Jan 2026 10:31:12
Will City have any money left in their coffers after the swingeing fine we expect them to get soon. Well fairly soon. I emailed the Premier League yesterday about this! Still waiting.
4.) 13 Jan 2026 10:50:23
There is no heart in tge team and there's no loyalty in big money and football. Fact andos already had is head turned like mgw murillo lost is consistency like a lot. if they go they go. we move on. but that's the biggest problem edu will be replacing them with his shite.
5.) 13 Jan 2026 10:50:35
The only reason MGW and Ando have tailed off is because of the crap tactics. You don't need a midfield when tha ball gets lumped from the back to our small centre forward. Might as well put Warwick Davis up top.
6.) 13 Jan 2026 11:35:20
Midfield is bypassed by kicking it aimlessly up the pitch.
7.) 13 Jan 2026 12:06:29
Yep balloons i was making the same point about tactics, bypass our most creative players completely. ?.
8.) 13 Jan 2026 12:32:55
Anderson and Murillo will probably go in the summer and we should put a big price tag on their heads.
9.) 13 Jan 2026 12:50:11
Lost the will to live ……. ????????.
10.) 13 Jan 2026 14:09:09
You been going back through some of your comments then stokey ?? I do that halfway through one of yours ?.
11.) 13 Jan 2026 15:29:31
Surly we can't all be wrong?, we're all watching the same games and coming up with the same conclusions. Apart from the head of the snoozy book club. ??.
12.) 13 Jan 2026 15:37:10
It’s the constant repetition that kills you Skeggs………. it’s worse than water boarding mate …. ???????.
13.) 13 Jan 2026 16:50:31
Many would agree that Dyche's style is considered boring and predictable. His approach involves launching high balls into the opposition's half, hoping for an attempt on goal from a lonesome Striker.
I reckon Haaland would struggle to get a goal?
I am concerned that if Dyche does not adjust his playing style, we may find ourselves in a relegation battle.
14.) 13 Jan 2026 17:40:13
Oh God, these Dyche Ball diplodocus posts are spreading and starting to infect everyone ……. ??.
15.) 13 Jan 2026 18:13:49
It is cut and paste Stokey, the shift+insert keys must be getting worn by now.
Must be time for some Stokey jokes to lighten the mood?
21 Jan 2026 09:47:40
Abraham looks like going to Villa, but saw something yesterday about Ipswich being interviewed in Awoniyi?.
20 Jan 2026 16:08:14
Boly came back from Afcon injured so can't see the transfer to west ham what was being considered, Boly could be useful as interpreter for Lucca, if he comes?.
20 Jan 2026 11:18:40
Not sure if it's a tactic to get a better deal by Lucca, but it seems he will only leave Italy kicking and screaming, we need someone up to speed straight away, not someone mopping around the training centre missing home.
19 Jan 2026 07:11:04
If he asks Silenzi, any douths will be settled ?.
17 Jan 2026 05:36:41
This was all set up until Mendes interfered, and his client Nuno was employed, turned out alright, but wonder what could have been with Glasner?.
22 Jan 2026 13:47:20
Mr Marinakis has taken the gun away, as all Edu's been firing is blanks!. m.
22 Jan 2026 13:45:23
Very really agree with your comments Skegs, but your spot on, I come on here to get away from the day to day pressure of life, sometimes it gets nasty, but the Ed's usually sort it. Posters should realise it's not life or death, it's a football banter site about Nottingham Forest ??.
22 Jan 2026 09:07:50
Only a matter of time before Jesus got injured!, Sean must have taken notice how Pontius Pilate treated the original.
20 Jan 2026 23:54:33
Well if Edu's in the Olympiacos stadium and there's a buzz about a special player going to Brighton, if I was him I would take an interest and have a word with the players agent?.
20 Jan 2026 23:49:43
Surprised there's a few teams supporters who don't use there site to post?, Newcastle, man city, Leicester, direby, before we play a team always check a site for there supporters views on how they feel in playing us, and the sites who do post all want that elusive Striker.
