He's had words with Cooper. Shouldn't really say on here but he said something to him. Yet another disagreement - as Club Captain he should be given some leeway?
1.) 06 Dec 2023 22:19:19
Depends what was said surely? If it was a childish rant then no, if it was constructive criticism then yes.
18 Jan 2023 23:19:22
I first put the news up about Chris Wood about a week or so ago at the beginning of a post. I got the information from some old contacts inside the game. I've heard he's on £80K per week at Newcastle and we've offered to pay him £120K per week! He's alright but that's ridiculous money taking into account that he's 31 and his best form was about 2/ 3 seasons ago. Surely we must off-load Jessie Lingard to balance the books?
1.) 19 Jan 2023 10:46:20
Not keen on signing him permanently but a loan deal would be ok til the end of the season, we need a No9 if Awoniyi is going to be out.
Not concerned by much else about the deal, I trust the club to do what they think is best financially.
2.) 19 Jan 2023 11:02:46
I agree, would be a good loan till the end of the season but not on a permanent I don't think.
3.) 19 Jan 2023 14:26:27
Wood is a proven premier league striker. He’s robust good in the air gets stuck in and is renowned for his hold up play. He can do the dirty stuff has good positional awareness. One one of his stats from last season, of the 15 matches he started Newcastle amassed 29 points. Loan to buy is a no brainier and at 31 has plenty of life, remember we sold chapman to Leeds when we thought he was done at 30ish. His record at Leeds was incredible and I would say similar types of players.
4.) 19 Jan 2023 14:58:05
Yeah fair enough, RR8. He is the type of player that should run well in his thirties, it's not like he's going to lose much pace lol
Nowhere near the finisher Chapman was though, tbf!
5.) 19 Jan 2023 22:37:17
I've said my opinion on wood, but also the position we are in injury wise, probably a sound decision short term.
Centre back now a priority as one more injury in that department and we are screwed.
I'd expect a centre back to arrive on loan from abroad now.
Only four loans aloud two from the prem already done and lodi so I doubt we will buy another center back.
I expect us to sign a permanent striker though as well as wood on loan.
01 Feb 2022 00:02:58
Panzo deal done but can't see the Sam Surrige deal confirmed yet?
1.) 01 Feb 2022 07:11:23
Both confirmed, the panzo signing probably signals the exit of Harbottle and fernandes in the summer though.
2.) 01 Feb 2022 10:04:57
More like a return to Portugal for Figs?
3.) 01 Feb 2022 11:16:12
It's baba fernandes I was referring to TWF, both out of contractin June.
4.) 01 Feb 2022 11:32:13
Both RH and BF are still young lads, hopefully they'll sign a new deal because they've looked decent in the U23s and when given a first team opportunity. Pretty sure if they're good enough Cooper and Brazil et al will want to keep them on.
I trust the club to make good decisions with youngsters, they usually do. Even pre-Murphy.
5.) 01 Feb 2022 13:51:40
Like both signings young and hungry, surridge determined to prove he can cut it as a striker in the championship which I think he will and ponzo a clearly talented footballer who can defend and create chances at the other end, looks more than capable of playing in midfield and chipping in with a few goals too.
Happy days some good signings this window and got rid of a few fringe players too, which will allow our youngsters to get more of a chance.
Bring on the foxes you reds.
FTID.
6.) 01 Feb 2022 14:17:19
21 now sutty and too many in front of them
Riley Harbottle just on out on loan to Wealdstone for a month.
With mbe soh and panzo in front of them I can't see them making the grade at forest.
To me 21 and you should be at least knocking on the door of the first team.
7.) 01 Feb 2022 14:41:27
You may be right Fff79, but I do trust Forest to make the right call.
And tbh, didn't realise Harbottle was 21, thought he was still in his teens.
8.) 01 Feb 2022 15:00:02
His brothers are
Baba 21 as well, I just look at the likes of worrall Johnson, mighten, finn back, getting first team action in their teens, you have to at keast be good enough to go out on loan to a league one or two side by the time your 20.
We have a tendency to keep calling them youngsters even when they are 23 and more.
Some very good kids in the under 18s that need to step up nowadays not have their paths blocked imo.
Swann, fornah, richardson won't make the grade either as forest first teamers.
9.) 01 Feb 2022 16:10:35
All good points, mate. I've not given up on Fornah and Richardson though, they look decent. I'm probably not as ruthless as you :)
10.) 01 Feb 2022 16:25:03
I just think they should be on loan to better standard than national league at their age and we are paying money for players like ponza and soh who are the same age.
11.) 02 Feb 2022 09:59:39
Richardson should certainly be playing at a higher level than the National League - He looked decent in League Two last season, should really be having a go in League One, like Fornah.
I do get what you're saying, although some do develop late. Grabban, for example, was 23/ 24 before he started scoring regularly in League Two and was 25/ 26 before he had his first decent season in the Championship.
12.) 02 Feb 2022 13:44:45
One of the reasons less are going out on loan, is that Brazil thinks the standard in Prem reserves that we are now in is higher than lower leagues.
02 Mar 2021 22:21:57
Anyone who thinks we have 'turned the corner' has been deluded by Radio Nottingham and this experienced millionaire manager. So many in the team who are below the required Championship standard. Luton are in reality a 3rd division set up playing out of their skins. Glen Murray looked like a feeble old campaigner and I'm struggling to see what CH expects from him without pin point crosses planted on his head? Bad substitutions again! Sickening.
1.) 03 Mar 2021 19:36:57
Red hot, don’t think it’s what CH expects of Murray, the problem is that you are expecting to much from him, no other strikers wanted to come, he did and as a 37 year old has shown grabbon and Taylor how to play as a centre forward role.
2.) 03 Mar 2021 20:25:18
Well he would come for 30k a week.
Think fans got carried away by him scoring 2 on his debut.
He needs using less at his age and would be better as a sub.
If lising he gives something different if winning he can hold the ball.
Playing from the off is too much in my opinion especially with 3 games every eight days all hughton is doing is wearing him out.
3.) 03 Mar 2021 21:28:53
Agree Ff79. CH seems to be giving him 69/ 70 minutes which is surely too much for him. Should use him either first 30/ 45 mins or last 20 mins? To be fair to him he needs the odd decent cross or two.
4.) 05 Mar 2021 13:52:35
Not sure what game you were watching but we should have been out of sight by half-time.
It is probably the most first half we have dominated all season. 2nd half wasn't so good but crikey, the bloke can't win, we really went for it but got nothing, play it tight and nick a win and CH is too negative, priceless:)
5.) 05 Mar 2021 19:48:29
Same game as you but without rose tinted glasses.
Doesn't matter what possession we have we can't finish.
Second half "wasn't so good? "
We were second best by a mile.
6.) 06 Mar 2021 14:29:59
Sorry but we are a poor side, think we will stay up as there are 3 worse teams than us, just. Not sure CH has shown enough or has enough to turn it around.
7.) 06 Mar 2021 14:57:12
Maraknackers your a joke you sack a proper manager like O’Neil and Keane treat them with no respect then appoint a clown like houghton get out of our club because your loyalty’s only lay with olympicos your a disgrace.

If it was not for Marinakis we wouldn't exist!
14 Dec 2019 22:49:25
Watson seems to be immune from criticism - his miss today was beyond belief! He can't run, shoot, dribble, pass forward, head and has no energy. Reason why Worrell gets MoM nearly every week because Watson not doing his job in midfield ie holding. Games against Preston (1st half), Charlton, Wigan, Leeds, Hull - no holding whatsoever! He's slowing up play and should not feature in home fixtures. A role on the bench as cover for injuries only - finished at Championship level! PS. Silva has his shortcomings but still streets ahead of Carvalho. Sort it quickly Mr Lamouchi please.
1.) 15 Dec 2019 11:06:51
You get a good 10 games out of Dawson and that's all. he's come back from injury half the player he was prior to his injury. His positioning for 3 of the wednesday goals was shocking. Get Figs and Worrall at the back, get Ribeiro back in for Robinson asap. Sell Carvalho and reinvest wisely.
2.) 15 Dec 2019 16:30:17
As i left the ground and admitt to leaving early a chap was telling me he had heard there had been a training ground bust up don't know if true or not.
3.) 15 Dec 2019 19:05:20
Red hot red I stated on banter site that this wonderful defence has gone to the dogs since Dawson returned. I'm afraid the old one's are being found out the same as our 36 year old centre forward was.
We need strength and speed at this level. Thank goodness its happening now so Sabri can do something about it in January.
Also I have never seen such an unhappy bunch of players even before the game started, completely opposite to about 2 months ago.

Don't like to say it but England U21s are looking a much better team without Anderson: 2-0 up against Spain after only 25 minutes and playing some good football. Quansah (Liverpool) and Hutchinson (Ipswich) look to be the stand out players. Maybe Anderson has had too much top tier football and needs a rest? He's on the bench so might get a chance in the second half.
1.) 21 Jun 2025 21:12:40
I think Hutchinson is a very good winger who plays for Ipswich. Surely he should come to the city ground.
2.) 21 Jun 2025 21:17:57
Anderson on now - looks lively and keen to impress. Good game to watch 2-1 to England.
3.) 21 Jun 2025 21:26:01
Rowe another good player who plays in France.
4.) 21 Jun 2025 21:58:04
Yes Rowe has a plenty of running in him. Anderson's had a good game. Created a penalty, took the penalty and scored the penalty?. England 3 Spain 1. Spain U21s are a very good team. Good game to watch.
5.) 21 Jun 2025 22:52:18
Well, he got the winner.
If England go all the way, when does he get a holiday?
6.) 22 Jun 2025 14:55:34
Anderson not a good player? When he came on he ran midfield, put in a great cross and scored from a penalty. Maybe we live on different planets?
7.) 22 Jun 2025 15:56:03
bsered. Completely agree, thought the subs were timed perfectly (credit Carsley thought he should have been given the senior job) and when they came on we took complete control of the game, Ando looks to good for this level.
8.) 22 Jun 2025 21:04:23
Hutchinson not good enough for forest, championship player, got a few tricks but no end product, I doubt we'd even consider him tbh.
9.) 23 Jun 2025 10:56:31
Hutchinson would command a very large fee as Ipswich paid £20mil up front and other add ons.
Definitely think there's better out there for less money.
18 Jun 2025 21:27:45
Hate to say it but Anderson having a poor game tonight, looks a mile off it. Getting caught in possession, falling over, can't get a shot away when well placed. As expected he's been withdrawn and on another yellow card. Having said that, McAtee no impact whatsoever and shocking.
1.) 18 Jun 2025 22:22:47
Too many games when he should be chilling on the beach?
2.) 18 Jun 2025 23:15:36
Also never get carried away with a performance from a player at under 21 kevel especially at the end of a long season
It's a team game and lots won't ever make the grade and Anderson has already made the grade in premier.
3.) 19 Jun 2025 08:48:56
I've watched a fair bit of the U21 euros and to be honest the whole tournament has lacked that Xfactor, to many players went off to the club world cup.
18 Jun 2025 20:08:14
Anderson caught in possession in the early stages of the England v Germany U21 game and a goal comes from it. Oh dear! Hope he learns from that one and goes on to control the game. A goal from a long range shot will do him the world of good. The defender was also not close enough to his man.
18 Jun 2025 09:44:48
Nice start to the season in August ? We need 9 points from the first 3 games really. September a not a bad run out either. Hope we have a new striker in time who can run, put himself about, hold the ball up, shoot on target, head the ball and physical enough for the PL? COYR.
1.) 18 Jun 2025 11:19:35
RHR. Did you see Delap's debut. Just 30 minutes but great movement and speed. Set up a goal and another great chance.
Pity he didn't consider us. He would have been perfect.
2.) 18 Jun 2025 11:37:36
Agree about first three games, could get us moving in the right direction, couple of home games over Christmas period, last game against Bournemouth how important could that game be?. But we know that the fixtures will look very different time wise once the Sky's, BT'S etc get at it, and not forgetting them Thursday nights!.
3.) 18 Jun 2025 12:27:48
It's the Thursday night's that mean we won't play many as scheduled, Sunday will be the order of the day along with Monday nights.
4.) 19 Jun 2025 12:23:53
Don’t they call it Lanzagrottie? ?
5.) 19 Jun 2025 23:29:32
Says the benidorm man?
By the way I like em both carlo
Like Spain full stop.
6.) 20 Jun 2025 16:32:12
Cunard man now.
7.) 20 Jun 2025 21:17:20
Now that is when you know your past it, can't think of anything worse than cruising and having to keep looking at your watch.
12 Jun 2025 21:38:13
Hutchinson of Ipswich looks the best player in the U21s. Archie Grey, Livaramento and Elliot Anderson also looked comfortable. Anderson playing quite deep - looks comfortable on the ball. McAtee didn't beat his man once and was absolute rubbish. Doesn't look strong enough and no pace. Reminded me of Carvalho! No impact on the game. Eventually withdrawn. I wouldn't pay £250, 000 for him, honestly.
1.) 12 Jun 2025 22:24:00
That Hutchinson could be worth a look, can play either side and was decent early season til they collapsed
Don't fancy mcatee but I'd be very tempted with Harvey elliot.
2.) 12 Jun 2025 22:41:05
I'm with you on mcatee, not got it imo.
07 Jun 2025 01:13:02
He is vital to everything we have achieved last season and our style of play next season. He cannot be sold. Insanity to even contemplate it! Supporters protest if any further rumours please.
28 Aug 2023 21:32:44
Sounds unbelievably cheap - we should snap their hands off! ?.
22 Jun 2022 19:10:46
Exactly Dreamteam ?.
01 Jan 2022 19:15:31
Fantastic news. Maybe agreed a greater proportion of his wages?
03 Mar 2021 21:28:53
Agree Ff79. CH seems to be giving him 69/ 70 minutes which is surely too much for him. Should use him either first 30/ 45 mins or last 20 mins? To be fair to him he needs the odd decent cross or two.

18 Jun 2025 21:50:12
Will you be going to the West Ham bar in the Old Town in PdelC DTP (Fff79)? Always worth a look in? I played the tennis coach at the club on the front in PdelC in 2020 just before the lockdown.
04 Jun 2025 21:43:30
Agree 100% on Sangare DTP ?.
28 May 2025 09:57:03
A good friend of mine is a Man City season ticket holder and like you MUNMAD goes home and away every week. He said McAtee is Championship class and hasn't really made the grade. City would be rubbing their hands together to sell him at an over inflated price. Looking at him from my own viewpoint he doesn't look a very physically strong player - we have enough like that. We need power, pace and physical presence in this standard of football to make the right impact. Gustavo Harmer at Sheffield United would be a good shout - showed his pace and power in the play-offs and might now be available?
