Perhaps it was just me that missed this and it has been posted before here. regarding panel who judge ref/ VAR decisions. They are former England goalkeeper Robert Green; former England striker Karen Carney; former Republic of Ireland striker Jonathan Walters; his fellow former Ireland international Steven Reid, most recently a coach at Nottingham Forest; and former coach and Wimbledon manager Terry Burton. Source The Guardian 29th March 2024.we lost to Liverpool on 2nd March so seems strange Stephen Reid would be on that panel after his language against the officials!

Toffolo and Omabamadele not good enough at Premier League level. Danilo? Who knows if he'll turn up - don't trust him. Chris Wood unfortunately has hit a brick wall and was terrible last week. Agree Awoniyi should play if he's fit. Yates must play to put the wind up players like Cole Palmer who doesn't always turn up in Chelsea away games. Montiel is a good player with experience at high level.

Agree with some of that redhotred but montiel has been terrible.

Agree2 0Disagree

10 May 2024 10:27:16
Fair comment Skegs but Montiel is an international player who might raise his game against other internationals and South American players? Would definitely play Nuno Tavares if he's fit - I like him and a strong, physical player who can run and get forward. šŸ‘.

Apparently Nuno is the highest paid manager in our history.
Hopefully that will change in the summer- surely? šŸ¤£.

Agree0 0Disagree

10 May 2024 10:06:34
That's usually how pay grades work RedFrog šŸ˜….
Pay moves with the times. The next manager will be likely be on even more.
Did you expect Nuno to be on less than Hughton and Lamouchi years after they were employed?

Congratulations to Olympiacos, apparently the first Greek club side to reach any European final. Also it took Maranakis 10 years of investment to achieve this and Mendelibar is their 4th coach of the season. The man is insane in his ambition.
The final will be played at AEK Athens ground, so victory would be even sweeter, fingers crossed.

Agree5 0Disagree

10 May 2024 07:51:57
Yes hope they go on to win it now be good for maranakis.

Still a way to go then with Forest enjoy the ride he got us into the premier now if we stay up he can pursue European football but who and how many coaches will it the bin first has fans you won't be bothered if and how he succeeds because we are fickle and just want success.

If there are to be some sort of celebrations tomorrow evening with Ryan diving in the Trent we will have to be cautious. Looking back on the Forest players reaction to the semi final shoot out win over the Blades with Samba mobbed by a group. If you look at the footage closely you see a player running hard to jump on the huddle. At the crucial moment they move slightly and the airborne player falls off the side. Buster Keaton stuff indeed! The player?

We have the advantage two fold

Being at home
Playing last

Munmad always said the three that came up would go down
If it wasn't for points deducted for us and Everton they'd be down already
Don't want to jinks it but Burnley don't beat spurs and they are gone?
Realistically gone already with their goal difference
Luton lose?
Then the game against Chelsea becomes irrelevant
It's a case of thanks sky for picking us as the live game?

Agree3 0Disagree

09 May 2024 20:55:20
I'm definitely recording the Chelsea game, just to see Sky talking about nothing because Luton lose and Burnley fail to win before we play.
Job done.
No relegation decider on the last day.
Stuff Sky and their meddling.

Just a few thoughts regarding Saturday.
Both Spurs and West Ham can be a bit flakey but I'm hoping, firstly, the Hammers can do us a good turn in their last home game of the season and give David Moyes, for all his faults, a good send off and secondly for Spurs to put Burnley out of their misery and fight for a European football place.
Depending on these results, we should be wary of the threat Chelsea pose at the moment and we don't want our 11 and 17 goal difference eroding if we lose. We've seen them put 6 past Everton and 5 past West Ham in recent weeks. I think I'd be detailing Yates to shadow Cole Palmer through whom everything comes. I read somewhere that he's played 30 Premiership games, scored 21 goals and 9 assists which is some record. Plus they have a very expensively assembled young squad which, unfortunately for us, is coming together under Poch just in time for Saturday!

09 May 2024 19:08:48
Despite being the eternal optimist nowadays Stokey, I'd be thrilled and amazed if we even get a draw against them.

Agree1 0Disagree

09 May 2024 19:09:52
I agree they really are playing some great football.

However If we can defend well and frustrate them hopefully they will implode.

Agree4 0Disagree

09 May 2024 21:15:59
Legless mate, a point would be pure gold and enough to keep us up. The nightmare scenario would be for Luton to nick a point at West Ham and us having to go to Burnley needing a win or draw.

But I predict (tin hat on here) Spurs 3 Burnley 0
West Ham 3 Luton 1
Forest 2 Chelsea 3, but weā€™ll all be pi**ed and in the Trent with Yatesy long before then!?
Coyr!

Agree2 0Disagree

09 May 2024 21:52:19
I'd be putting my kevlar helmet and full body armour on after that prediction Stokey!

09 May 2024 22:04:47
Legless Chelsea are abysmal away from home, they couldnā€™t even beat Sheffield united.

Agree2 0Disagree

10 May 2024 07:58:14
My prediction Luton 1-1 with var helping Luton Burnley lose 3 nil forest lose 3-1 it will go to final game the bigwigs up above have not got involved most of our season with var points etc for it not to go down to the last game.

Agree2 0Disagree

10 May 2024 09:26:43
West ham to win 2 nil and spurs to win 3 nil for me.

Agree0 0Disagree

10 May 2024 09:44:13
Fair enough Legless. If Yates can nullify Cole Palmer we have a good chance.
I remember back in the early days of Cloughies reign when we played Arsenal All Stars at the City Ground. First half Liam Brady ran the show completely and we went in 1 nil down at HT, second best by a long way.
For all the Masters braggadocio about ā€œ Here at Forest we don't worry about our opponents, we let them worry about usā€ at the start of the 2nd he put Martin O Neill tight on Brady and, with his tremendous engine, he just ran him into the ground and we won 2 v 1.
Of course we lost MONs threat on the right side of midfield but everything came through Robbo on the other side anyway! Tactical genius as always! šŸ˜šŸ¤šŸ‘.

Agree1 0Disagree

09 May 2024 16:28:13
My team to beat Chelsea on Saturday when hopefully Burnley and Luton have both lost

Sels

Obamadele
Boly
Murrilo

Aina
Dominguez
Danilo
Toffelo

MGW
CHO

Awoniyi.

Agree0 0Disagree

09 May 2024 19:39:28
Awoniyi no where near fit enough to start mate
Toffolo?
He ain't good enough at premier level
He won't play a back three either mate.

Agree1 0Disagree

09 May 2024 20:44:34
Thatā€™s our best 11 Iā€™d say and if we stay up wow some big changes needed because itā€™s a very poor team to try and compete at this level.

At this stage though Iā€™d have Yates in the team, should we retain our status sangare, Danilo (sad as he looked like a decent prospect last year ) and Dominguez (especially) need replacing.

Agree0 0Disagree

09 May 2024 21:13:31
Won't be the team though 2 star
And a lot of good players, need a better coach.

Agree0 0Disagree

09 May 2024 21:37:35
Yes your probably right DTP this coach was a upgrade on the last coach so maybe we to upgrade again šŸ˜.

Agree1 0Disagree

09 May 2024 22:02:55
Yates must be play to shadow palmer and basically dropping Elanga and have an extra central defender.

Agree0 0Disagree

09 May 2024 22:05:14
I'd love to see Worrall brought back and played alongside Murillo next season (if we can keep the latter. ). I think the two could compliment each other really well. What do you think Munmad?

Agree0 0Disagree

09 May 2024 22:32:34
Nowt wrong with danillo he's only 21 aswell, never had you down as a doom and gloomer 2 star
Dominguez is also a very good pkayer
Both far better than Yates
We can't play another season with Yates in our midfield.

Agree1 0Disagree

09 May 2024 23:29:26
Perhaps itā€™s the coaching as you say.

Agree0 0Disagree

10 May 2024 06:36:29
plenty of coaches on this site at the moment we all have a team we would like to see on the pitch but the man in the seat is the one to sort it, if not he, s gone this is the way the merry go round were on.

Agree0 0Disagree

10 May 2024 06:44:50
Bring Worrall back you have clearly had a few drinks or you have heat stroke.
We would be down already if Worrall was in the side, no pace, can't stand a man up, mistake every game.

Great lad forest through and through but let's be honest his game has not improved enough over the years.

Agree1 0Disagree

09 May 2024 13:52:21
Red Vale not saying forest shouldn't be innthe same league but if we want to establish ourselves in the league I think he could be that man to do that.

Agree0 0Disagree

09 May 2024 13:17:49
Again reading reports consideration being given to the possibility of leaving the CG and moving to a new 50, 000 seater stadium. What's everybody's thoughts on this? On the one hand sometimes a tired stadium needs to be left in the history books and you move on. Also there is the ability or lack of ability to expand and build bigger stands due to housing, shops businesses being in the way. Take Leicester their old cow shed stand at Filbert street you used to have to enter between 2 houses and were surrounded by streets houses ect. On the other hand a new stadium loses that unique atmosphere takes away some of that charm especially for the romantics amongst us. Look at Arsenal, Highbury the stands were virtually on top of the pitch creating that authentic atmosphere and the Emirates still doesn't feel the same. But is it a case of move with the times or fall too far behind the rest
I love the CG just not sure a move would be a good thing.

Agree0 0Disagree

09 May 2024 13:50:51
Yes I saw that article, looking for a place big enough for the academy as well. Toton fits bill so does the embankment but city council owns that. I just worry about a move, you only have to look at the mess Everton are in over Bramley dock. Forest were offered land opposite lings Barr roundabout on the a52, the council yard. I donā€™t understand why mr m hasnā€™t made a offer to buy the city ground, after all they own all of the houses around the bridge ford end, theyā€™ve been buying them up for years.

Agree0 0Disagree

09 May 2024 13:55:39
Bin the city ground off. Its a dump awkward to get to, no where to park
Don't own the land. Its a car crash of a set up.
Get down Toton and build a proper ground šŸŽˆ.

Agree0 0Disagree

09 May 2024 14:23:52
Said the other day we needed to invest in buying our own stadium should be prioritised.

Agree0 0Disagree

09 May 2024 19:44:29
Won't ever affect you two either way as you'll never go
J6st saying.

Agree1 0Disagree

09 May 2024 19:59:59
Can we really afford a new ground, upwards of half a billion pounds, where does that leave the club with sustainable rubbish. the establishment will love that. We posted yesterday about the cost of lively hoods when clubs go down. The same can be said if a club moves, there are a lot of pubs and bars around the city ground that do well when we're at home.

Agree0 0Disagree

09 May 2024 20:48:08
Donā€™t look anywhere in the city- the council wonā€™t play ball. County council may be different. We discussed Gamston some years ago but that hasnā€™t really got the infrastructure to handle the traffic. Itā€™s bad enough there during rush hour.

Agree0 0Disagree

09 May 2024 20:49:15
Thank god for that, our ground is a complete tip after years of no investment under ND and fawaz. Itā€™s a very poor experience. Anfield and villa park prove that it can be done without moving but we just donā€™t have the wherewithal. To be honest when big M triumphantly trumpeted ā€¦ā€¦ā€˜this will be our home foreverā€™ ā€¦ā€¦you somehow knew it wouldnā€™t be!

Agree0 0Disagree

09 May 2024 21:35:44
That's right DTP I invest my money wisely when I want to watch the game in comfort I invest in a new recliner just saying šŸ˜.

Agree1 0Disagree

10 May 2024 11:32:47
Skegs then why bother having an opinion on something that will only affect and/ or inconvenience others and not you, just saying,

Agree0 0Disagree

10 May 2024 12:14:16
It affects the club so I'm allowed a opinion it's what the club needs to invest in our own stadium especially if we're after making a long stay of it in the premiership mate.

Agree2 0Disagree

09 May 2024 10:12:40
Knowing that WHU and DM are parting ways, I personally think we should bring DM in, he is a great manager at this level.

Agree0 0Disagree

09 May 2024 10:23:58
Not sure what you mean bc, are you saying that forest shouldnā€™t be in the same league as WH.

Agree0 0Disagree

09 May 2024 11:30:48
I can see that happening Mr Lower BC, Mr M will want Forest top 10 like WH have been for about 4 seasons (and still they are not happy, jeez).

Agree0 0Disagree

09 May 2024 13:04:30
Totally agree cannon but need someone younger.

Agree0 0Disagree

09 May 2024 13:44:58
Nuno will still be here.
CARLO.

If he keeps us up he will have at least a season to prove himself.

Moyes is absolutely useless, another washed up dinosaur. Put him out to grass with Dyche šŸŽˆ.

What does that make nuno?

09 May 2024 21:38:42
Better than the unemployed cooper that nobody wants šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£.

Agree1 0Disagree

09 May 2024 23:10:05
He'll be back in management just like any other that gets sacked once they receive the pay off, think Cooper has another 18 months of forest paying him.

Agree0 0Disagree

10 May 2024 07:05:27
Cooper is free to find another club. DTP. He isn't being paid off as he has been sacked and not put on 'gardening leave'.

Agree0 0Disagree

{Ed001's Note - that isn't how it works in football, he will still be being paid up for his contract.}

10 May 2024 07:50:31
Thats right ed1 but still free to sign a new contract for a club like west ham and palace who at one point he was favourite to takeover.

Agree0 0Disagree

{Ed001's Note - no, he would have to negotiate a pay-off to take another job or give up the remaining money left. So not free, as it would cost him a huge sum. He was never in the running for the Palace job.}

10 May 2024 08:15:58
I know he wasn't in the run for the palace job or any other premiership job just others thought he was I'm sure he will be back in the championship soon with a team that has a chance of top 6.

Agree0 0Disagree

10 May 2024 08:48:13
That's why Potter hasn't taken a job skeggs aswell still being paid by chelsea.

Agree0 0Disagree

10 May 2024 12:42:56
Potter hasn't took a job yet because he's above himself and thinks he's entitled to wait for a top job I'm sure if any of the top 4 jobs had been offered to him he would be there like a shot but proved he's not up to a big job and won't be offered one.

Agree0 0Disagree

Thiago Alcantara

09 May 2024 09:22:15
{Ed's Note - Ed001 has posted a new player profile about, Thiago Alcantara

Agree0 0Disagree

09 May 2024 16:13:18
Sometimes canā€™t believe what I read on here. As soon as any manager, no matter how mediocre, is sacked thereā€™s a general mood to sign him up. I think we have collective inherited Greek Marinakis managerial merry go round syndrome.
Wouldnā€™t touch Moyes with a barge pole myself. Only ever won one Micky Mouse Europa Trophy in 25 years of management often at well resourced established top tier clubs. Thereā€™s a reason West Ham have had him replaced comrades
So letā€™s give our heads a wobble and at least give Nuno a pre season and a chance to make his mark.
Especially when you consider the disadvantages he faces which are none of his making ie poor recruitment, lack of planning for AFCON, FFP breach, large unwieldy squad etc.
SC had similar problems which he eventually succumbed to but thatā€™s for another day ā€¦.
