If Nuno Tavares is fit he must play. He's on a totally different level of ability and physical strength to Niakate, Omabamadele and Williams.

26 Apr 2024 22:50:26
Hes a wing back not a centre back
Not great at defending but good going forwards.

26 Apr 2024 20:15:51
Just a few observations
1 / they always shoot the messenger
2/ The top premier league teams were secretly planning to break away, which would have seriously impacted the money coming in to the remnants of the league. No punishments handed out as far as I know.
3/ FA guidelines state that referees have to declare conflicts of interest when officiating in a particular game. Did Atwell declare any and if so who allowed him to carry on?
4/ why do full backs give wingers so much space in the modern game?
5/ why don't we have players on the posts for corners?
6/ why are players read War and Peace when they're preparing to come on as subs?
7/ why is a Derby fan in charge of the club's official tweets when trying to justify the clubs season card waiting list and season card pricing policy amid the genuine concern that some long term loyal fans will find it financially difficult to carry on? Are they deliberately winding people up?
8/ why is Gary Neville a dick?
9/ why did Souness on Talk Sport say refs aren't biased then go on to say they do favour the big clubs and that it takes a brave ref to give a pen at the Kop end against Liverpool?
10 / and the last one. The FA cup has been decimated again for benefit of the top clubs playing in Europe. No big nights at Old Trafford or The Emirates etc, as a reward for holding one of the so called giants to a replay.
Greed is ruining this game.
Ah feeling a lot better now with that lot off me chest.
Right, bring on City and let's give em a bloody good tabbing.
They've probably spent more on bloody lawyers in trying to dodge having 115 charges looked at, than we've spent on players.
Happy days.

26 Apr 2024 20:53:19
Said from day one let the big so called 6 clubs go and make more money for Sky sports and less money for grass roots Gary Neville is a limp dick and there's a few more with him they are beholding to their pay master's from Shearer down disappointed in Keane and Pearce my heroes also but money talk's. Having a moan I know. ps hope we finish strong if it keeps us up great.

26 Apr 2024 23:42:14
Spot on Jester!

26 Apr 2024 15:36:04
Well there will be no problem about var against city, we won't get over the half way line, don't take any young supporters, it will be like taking a vegan to a bull fight, they will slaughter us 🦬🦬. and believe me, I'm usually opted 👍.

26 Apr 2024 18:20:52
Yes not looking great just hope they don't put to much of a dent in our goal difference.

26 Apr 2024 08:36:58
Please please please Nuno learn the lesson from Brighton last night do NOT try to play out from the back against City! Get the ball forward early as they play a high line

My team and formation to get a win or at least a point

Sels

Obamadele
Niakhate
Murrilo

Williams
Yates
Sangare
MGW
Aina

Elanga
Wood.

26 Apr 2024 09:11:54
I’m liking the 3 at the back Munmad! I’d always pick Yates despite all his detractors on here. Missed him v Everton. Sanghere? 🤔.

26 Apr 2024 10:21:54
There has to be a player in there somewhere mate and what bigger stage to prove it on than Coty at home, start him and if it doesn’t pay off change him for Danilo or Dominguez

He made his reputation at PSV as a player who wins the ball and protects the back line.

26 Apr 2024 10:58:14
Yes, good point. He must be a footballer somewhere and Sunday would be a good platform for players who want to out the club. Might be his last outing in a Forest shirt.

26 Apr 2024 11:09:51
Yates is a no from me. He will never keep up with the speed of play from Man City and because of that Give loads of needless fouls away.

By all means play him against Sheffield and Burnley but not City.

26 Apr 2024 11:24:42
Who then?

26 Apr 2024 11:55:26
Domínguez.

26 Apr 2024 13:16:09
MM I agree 3 at the back and Elanga rather than HO. Personally I would rest MGW and and play Reyna in that role. Sean Dyche did with Calvin- Lewin knowing they would inevitably loose to Chelsea. All we have to do is park the bus for 90 mins. I would probably if there is a back 3, two wing backs, pack the midfield with Dominguez, Yates, Danillo, Reyna and leave Origa up top.

26 Apr 2024 14:07:26
Don't risk Wood save him for the others throw in Reyna and the young Portuguese lad at sometime in the match Sunday is a free go for the bench warmers even give Turner a go he has something to prove.

26 Apr 2024 14:30:36
I’d leave Origi up top alright of Mount Everest😱.

26 Apr 2024 14:31:46
Nuno won’t Learn mate, he’s been a complete disaster - let’s be honest he has.

Like hughton he could have, should have done much better than he has, he joins a long least of fairly decent coaches who have a reasonable track record but have been bafflingly incompetent- forest is a poison chalice and when the poison in the chalice is over come our impulsive owner gets rid of him - all very odd.

26 Apr 2024 15:22:53
Every time I see Nuno expressionless, just stands there. Won’t be here next season, and I think Eddie Howe won't be at Newcastle either, the Saudis want more. So there’s a name to put in the mix. Wouldn’t be a bad move.

26 Apr 2024 15:23:13
It doesn't matter who play's.
Against Man City it will against 12 Player's.
Decisions will go against Forest and will advantage Man City.
It's obvious Forest are disliked in the Premiership.
Accept relegation is near and play your heart's out for the club

26 Apr 2024 15:28:46
It must be difficult to work with our owner.

26 Apr 2024 15:45:56
Our main man is MGW, and we expect about 50 million for him 🤦. he will be given a footballing lesson by Foden, he with be having his fingers in his ears, that will be from the booing. A come on REDS.

26 Apr 2024 15:59:50
I think you have about 11 wrong players in that team!. None of them are good enough. We would have difficulty beating a league 1 side.

26 Apr 2024 16:04:38
Well I'm going for a shock WIN!
Yes a WIN!
COYRS!

26 Apr 2024 17:20:00
COYR let's ALL GO FOR A Score DRAW.

26 Apr 2024 20:14:15
Omabele against city see how that one pans out mate.

26 Apr 2024 21:24:22
Castle Rock aka Sheepshagger.

27 Apr 2024 00:14:34
I thought it was strange munmad.

25 Apr 2024 22:14:38
If we go down we will be remembered as the club that stuck up to the inadequate refs and var and the corrupt Premiership, FA, and sky. All not fit for purpose.

26 Apr 2024 07:57:32
Think most people think we moan too much, glad to see the back of us. We will be remembered as the club that stupidly brought in a record amount of over rated players ( mostly) stupidly put ourselves in FFP, then limped out of the league like a streak of wet cabbage.

26 Apr 2024 07:58:50
We will be remembered for being serial whingers.

26 Apr 2024 08:38:09
Better than being forgotten. The system is suspect, why don't we accept it, curl up on your sofa and keep your mouth shut. Eat humble pie cower away and the system just carried on and on.
Remember the cream of world football in Switzerland, things can be done.
72 years supporting this club, yes at the moment it's not being fun that well, we don't know if we got the pen or if we would have scored, no matter.
If, just if, we have some success with this attack on the PL, the smaller clubs benefit but are keeping there heads down and would reap the reward.

26 Apr 2024 08:42:10
So we just sit back and say NOTHING?
You 2 forget we bring a brilliant atmosphere to home AND away grounds!
Sorry to disappointed yous, however you'll probably find more people actually WANT us to stay in this league than don't.
Pathetic lads, PATHETIC!

26 Apr 2024 09:17:43
Mixed views on all this. I wonder what Brighton fans make of our case after watching some decisions last night. Sadly I watched the match only to scrutinise the refs performance. I perceive the media establishment now starting to make gentle noises supportive of the referees and the football establishment itself. Odd times!

26 Apr 2024 09:44:54
Told you all before, it must be in my DNA or something but I LOVE being the REBEL CLUB, don’t give a shxt about the prem.

26 Apr 2024 10:19:46
Another thought: Last night, did the ref NOT give the pen to Brighton because of the outcry by Forest over the CHO appeal aginst Everton. They were similar tackles. Are they trying for the 'consistency' line. Has that tackle set a precedent?

26 Apr 2024 14:37:25
We’re are as embarrassing is derby, we will be remembered for getting relegated instead of Luton in spite of 25 times what they have!

26 Apr 2024 15:26:57
At least Luton show fight and Spirit.
Forest some time's play like they've never kicked a football.
Mr. M has chosen poorly and it's not him on the rear.
In Greece in may have influence but here he's merely an owner of a poorly ran club.

26 Apr 2024 16:02:32
We will be mentioned in the same breath as Millwall and Wimbledon 🥴.

25 Apr 2024 21:38:23
Right friends here's my predictions for the rest of the season.
Sheffield Utd will be relegated this weekend, long before we play them.
Burnley won't get another point before we play them last game so both will be demoralised and mentally on the beach. 6 points.
By the time we play Chelsea they will be mathematically unable to get even into the Europa places. They are an immensely talented and expensively put together team but disunited ( as per the penalty incident) big time Charlie's and a bit flakey. Christ, we even beat them at their place so we have a chance at a fired up WFCG.
We won't get anything against Man City. It will be a case of keeping the score respectable. Ie 2 goals margin would be excellent and protect our goal difference advantage over Luton
We will get 2 points deduction on appeal.
Luton are the danger and are unpredictable. Wolves are decimated with injuries, safe and mentally at ease so might be vulberable.
Everton on a roll and will beat or, at best, draw with Luton.
West Ham will beat them comfortably.
Fulham, like Chelsea, are flakey but should have too much for them in the last game of the season even if they are mentally on the beach
I think Luton will be finished by then.
So we will finish on 34 points including restored points, Luton on 31 points ( plus around 10 goals worse than us GD)
Then I'm off to Corfu where I will visit the Durrell house and Old Town, get sunburnt and drunk every day without fail!
Sadly, I can only absolutely guarantee the last bit! 🤔😂🤞🤪🤪.

26 Apr 2024 06:44:19
Great post Stokey!

26 Apr 2024 08:41:08
Hey Stokey, why don't you stop off at Cuckoo land on your way mate?
