Just put a tenner on Steve Cooper too be sacked next 25/1 good odds if u ask me.
1.) 03 Sep 2022 20:32:16
First time on here so hello all!
A disappointing day. It’s a very steep learning curve. Hopefully there won’t be any knee jerk reactions.
We have a great guy in Cooper and a good looking squad.
COYR.
{Ed014's Note - welcome aboard mate, enjoy the banter

Welcome stag not a great day for a first timer, but better days ahead hopefully.
3.) 03 Sep 2022 20:41:46
Cheers mate.

Hi Ed014, much appreciated.
I have been reading posts on here for years and have finally taken the plunge.
Been following Forest since I was 9 …. so 46 years! It started really well……! ?
We are back where we belong now and hopefully we’ll survive but if not we have a good (mainly) young squad to get us back.
Cooper has done a sensational job so far and no matter what happens this season I hope the owner sticks with him. Full marks to the owner too btw…. excellent backing both in the transfers and the plans for the City Ground.
I think this is the best time to be a Forest fan for a long time but it’ll still be a lot of ups and downs.
COYR.
{Ed014's Note - well glad you’ve joined this motley crew mate.
Think you’ve plenty to be positive about, it’s a steep learning curve back in the Prem but we’re only a few games in.
Cooper will sort it and I’m sure you’ll be fine.

Welcome stag and hope you post regularly as it’s entertaining on here ALL the time. One thing I cannot agree on is that the prem is not where we belong. Evidenced by our long absence. We are Forest who had a long period in the old first division under a genius partnership. The prem is a different world to that old division and the way it’s run and managed is all about greed. VAR is killing live football with mental decisions and microscopic analysis creating false weird decisions. hope you enjoy

Hi Rutland, thanks for the welcome.
I do agree with a lot of what you say. Football is certainly a totally different entity now. Personally I am still on the fence re VAR, I’m not totally convinced it’s as accurate as it’s meant to be and certainly breaks up the natural flow of the game but have seen it work well too. I guess the main issue is it’s still prone to human interpretation and error unlike other sports - Cricket (ball tracking/ ultra edge etc) and Tennis (Hawkeye) both of which are not only accurate but fairly quick.
I do think Forest should be a top flight club but again agree that Clough and Taylor got us unexpected success.
In the here and now though we are PL. I think Copper should be given the season to keep us progressing - even if we need a backward step. Full marks to the owner too for the hefty investment.
Hopefully once the squad gel and are all are fit (how did we used to manage with a squad of 15?! ) it’ll be onwards and upwards!
COYR.

Cheers stag, I would add that the investment this season and the type of egotistical players purchased are for this league so relegation is not an option. Promotion caught us cold and the way we have swept Europe for POTENTIAL is mind blowing. Somebody knows what they are doing, don't THEY?
Marinakis, his son and Murphy have been deeply involved with signings, that in itself could be destructive. I feel for cooper as so much is out of his hands but he will take the brunt of failure….
8.) 04 Sep 2022 14:24:10
Anybody who thinks Cooper will get a full season playing same has yesterday is delusional.
9.) 04 Sep 2022 22:01:25
Hi Rutland,
Again I agree with a lot of what you say. Some of our new additions certainly won’t be with us if we go down. I think a lot will though and I think that recruitment has been done hoping for the best whilst preparing for the worst and we need some high profile and ego driven individuals if we are to have any chance of staying up.
I think some of the signings were none Cooper driven but some most certainly were and the owner and his son (along with Murphy) got those done too.
I think Redjester is right…. a season of playing as we did yesterday won’t be (and shouldn’t be) tolerated.
I think yesterday 2-0 up at HT you have to look at the 11 players on the pitch and they need to take ownership of that second half performance.
My only question re Cooper yesterday is why not start a recognised striker against a team that the week before conceded 9! Seems odd to me.
Anyway Leeds next and hopefully some lessons learned and a better result.
COYR!

Do u not think its a coincidence that marinakis has parted ways with corberan just after appointing him a couple of months ago i think he's told him that the forest job will be his.
1.) 24 Sep 2022 17:29:13
? You must be on some good stuff Reddys.
2.) 24 Sep 2022 17:50:43
I don’t see it .
3.) 24 Sep 2022 19:15:23
It would after be a big named manager that took over Cooper but let's hope he sorts it for the bin raiders game I can't say I feel excited about the team or any of the games at the minute completely different to last season I know it's a different league but if we could of just gone for our loanees and a few extra players I think I would of been happier.
4.) 24 Sep 2022 22:07:06
I believe this is what Cooper would have wanted to he honest skeggy Jay. He paints a picture that he would have liked it to have happened but it was never going to, hence bringing in 23 plus players. He has to say the right thing though doesn't he as to not upset his bosses.
Murphy said let's keep this band of brothers together, Marinkas said we are not here to make up the numbers, we are here for trophys. Says it all really if he wants trophys and acts like a kid in a sweetshop, he will spend silly money and bring in 2 new teams. which he did.
If we had brought in 7 or 8 quality Cooper signings and managed to keep the majority of the loans, we would have had a core of a good 17 18 players. Yes we would have had to use a few players like Cafu, Ojeda ect but we need to crawl before we can sprint. We establish a team with good unity and spirit first, while using new quality additions which hopefully helps establish us in the prem, then gradually add a few more while shipping out a few.
I mean 29 players gone is crazy, I know last season some of our squad players weren't even good enough for the championship but you need to live and play by your means and we were languishing mostly in the second tier for 23 years, so slowly, slowly.
On paper Henderson is a better keeper than Samba ( of course he saved 2 pens and endeared himself to the faithful) but team sprit and an understanding of playing for Forest and the players around you is better than 20 plus strangers trying to work it in the toughest league.
5.) 25 Sep 2022 11:24:25
Clough, I put more or less exactly the same post out a few weeks ago mate, totally agree with all you’ve posted.
6.) 25 Sep 2022 11:42:01
I know pal think the Marinkas family just went in like a bull in a China shop, with a do it our way and our way only philosophy. Good intentions of course but the wrong way about it.
28 Aug 2022 21:17:58
Reports saying lodi has changed his mind on a move after watching us today.
13 Aug 2022 21:34:03
I reckon with these flurry of signing coops is gunna try 4.3.3 with Dennis on left maupay centre and johnno on right with lingard also being rotated from midfield to wing at times. Just my thoughts.
1.) 13 Aug 2022 22:11:59
I reckon with our "Floury of signings" we'll play.
1-5-6-4-2! Mate!
????.
2.) 14 Aug 2022 11:17:41
He'll try the Scottish formation.
McFlurry ? ?.
09 Aug 2022 04:31:24
Just seen on ssn that we've had 25m plus 17m in add ons bid rejected for mgw Its getting embarrassing now just move on.
1.) 09 Aug 2022 08:38:44
We don't need him he's a good prospect but not at that price wow only played 1match Don't panic Mr Mannering give Cooper a chance you can sack him at Xmas plenty of failed managers to take his place we can always bring Rooney back from America Get Real COYR.
2.) 09 Aug 2022 12:00:35
Said this once and I’ll say it again, there’s got to be as good if not better attacking midfield players out there for that sort of money and probably less!
Morgan gibbs white is no doubt a quality player, but just feel we’re wasting too much time trying to sign this guy………. they obviously don’t want to sell so let’s move onto other targets.
COYR.
3.) 09 Aug 2022 13:03:30
Yep agree Jolly and take no notice of the lazy journalism we are signing half of Europe according to them getting to bo to ed with it.
4.) 09 Aug 2022 14:24:12
It’s interesting that Newcastle had every player linked with them as we seem to do and yes lazy journalism to a tee. So now we have yet another left back that allegedly we are in close contact with! Either we made a mistake with Truffulo ( evidence for? ) or Omar Richards has a serious injury or there is absolutely no peri.
5.) 09 Aug 2022 15:41:36
You can’t judge Toffolo on Newcastle game.
The defence was overrun because the midfielders where outclassed. This was because we are still gelling as a side.
6.) 09 Aug 2022 16:52:25
Agree true red, I don’t think we will see how good any of our new signings are yet, like I say give it ten games and most should be settling in well, but obviously hope we click sooner if possible, we are in transition we have a hell of a lot of new players to find there feet, but it will come as long as they keep working hard and taking notice of cooper…. which I’m sure they do and will, we will get there fellow jolly’s.
I have every faith in cooper and Murphy.
06 Aug 2022 19:40:11
Just watched the Chelsea game and seen Gallagher on the bench for whole match even with 5 subs why don't we use that 35m on him instead of mgw atleast Gallagher premier league proven.
1.) 06 Aug 2022 20:33:23
Cus Chelsea won't sell?
2.) 06 Aug 2022 22:40:42
Just to put Forests spending in perspective Chelsea have spent £63 million on one player from Brighton who came on as a sub today.
08 Oct 2022 16:05:14
Scouse I couldn't picture marinakis calling cooper saying start cook at back could u? People overthink when times are rough we always need someone to blame.
28 Aug 2022 13:50:33
Hope Cooper's not playing doesn't look match fit just yet.
