Well just watched a replay of the palace goal why is Sels always stuck on his line with no attempt to come for the cross coming across the 6 yard box.

Well, in theory we have:
LB: Caiubano, Netz and Williams
RB: Savona, Aina, da Siva Moreira
I bet Nuno is wondering why we couldn't do that when he was here.

I would swop Johnson and Elanga for Bakwa and Hutchinson and pay the 30 difference any day of the week.

Stokey, you say you were listening to the radio on Saturday afternoon. Get yourself to a great non league game mate.
I saw a cracker in the Northern Premier league. 8 quid to get in 3.50 pint, pie n chips 4 quid and 4 great goals and a proper view from the stand. Brilliant afternoon out.

Thanks Gazzi, I’ll bear it in mind mate. I have been known to pop along to Stafford Rangers once in while to see if there are any more Stan Collymore’s coming through ….

Crystal Palace have got their cumuppence regarding Mateta, We offered £35 million but the greedy so and so's stuck out for 40. Thought they had put one over on us but AC Milan won't have him as he failed a fitness test, Where does this leave them if they agreed to pay Wolves £50 million for their centre forward.
They are up the creek without a paddle they have not got the cash but they do have a very unhappy player who wanted to come to us.
Its no good trying to pull a fast one On Evangalos as Tottenham found out!
My heart bleeds for them. Ha, ha, ha.

". In the end, we always win! "
So we are going to win the Europa League and should be recruiting Champion's League level players for next season's shot at the big one. Not signing a load of journeymen is a good thing. 😆.

My cousin lives in Munchengladbach and watches them alit even though they are struggling this season he says Luca Netz is a steal at 3m as last season he was voted their player of the season and is an excellent left back.

I was listening to Radio 5 live on Saturday when they periodically issued updates on League 2 Gillingham v top of the table Bromley.
Sounds like the evergreen Garath McClearly ( aged 38) was Gills best player in a heavy defeat.
Anyone remember him scoring 4 v Leeds at Elland Road when we beat them 7 goals to 3? I took it as an omen for Friday 🤞🤞🤞🤞.

I remember it Stokey. one goal was when virtually virtually ran from his own half I think.

It's always a surprise when you see an ex-Forest player in the lower leagues, kept track of Lyle Taylor's career just for the season changing game at Bristol City he had for us, now plays for Chelmsford City in National league, also saw that someone who never played well for us, Emmanuel Dennis has joined up with Steve Cooper at Bronby, never thought SC rated him?.

I was in town once and saw him crossing the road, he was on his phone telling somebody that he couldn’t believe he, d been picked to make his Reds debut, he was ecstatic! Think he, d signed from non league.

Was Brennan Johnson playing? On his performance yesterday £48 million was a great bit of business for us ( though its tardiness cost us 4 points).
Agree2
02 Feb 2026 14:32:56
Why was it a great bit of business?
Watch the review of the 22/ 23 season. It’s easy to see the best thing we could have done is keep jonno.

Absolutely ineffective just like he was in the Garaboldi. Money grabbing judas as hit rock bottom. It's all down hill from here. Great bit of business by Forest.

02 Feb 2026 17:10:30
I think the keys words are “” On his performance yesterday “…. he’s certainly not pulled any trees up for Spurs or am I missing something? I always thought he had tremendous pace and attacking skill but a bit of a luxury player workrate wise at Premier level. Superb in tandem with Jed Spence in the Championship.
Agree2
02 Feb 2026 17:34:34
Absolute nonsense, him and Djed Spence had a brilliant understanding during our charge to The Premier League!
Agree3
02 Feb 2026 19:21:16
Err, yes Rogie. That would be in the Championship before we got promoted to the Prem. I distinctly remember Jed smoking a big cigar in celebration mate …….
Johnno didn’t do much to impress once in the Premiership though. Don’t get me wrong, he was ok but didn’t take it by storm did he? Likewise at Spurs.
Agree2
02 Feb 2026 20:01:46
He's a cracking little player, really suited at the time to our counter attacking game and was a great outlet when under pressure like Elanga was last year.
Could score from outside the box too, remember his leveller against Everton, cracking finish.
Think it is a confidence thing with him, he was still Spurs top scorer last season too.

A strange game yesterday. At half time, I thought the second half was going to be long and painful but, oddly, by the end of the game, I was disappointed we hadn’t won it. That was the feeling I heard expressed several times amongst the shuffling crowd caught between the back of the Trent End and the risen river.
Even against 10, I think Palace had problems, especially up top. Hopefully ( for us) they will continue their descent. A lot will depend on who they get in today ( and subsequently on loan).
I said in a post before the game that it was a great time to play them but that we were quite capable of “‘ucking” it up, which we did.
The fact that it was Mr Reliable” himself, Nico, was even more frustrating. With 11 on the pitch I think we’d have been much too much for them, and gone on to win comfortably.
As it was, we “Dyched” a point with a man down, increased the safety margin to 6 ( from minus 4 when SD arrived). To look at it another way, an average of a point a game from here takes us to 40 points, more than enough I think.
A draw at Leeds and a win against Wolves should settle any remaining nerves COYR.
Agree5
02 Feb 2026 20:04:17
Totally agree Stokey, was a really good first half to watch and still looked most likely to score 2nd half.
We were really out of the blocks quick, same performance please Friday!
Agree2
02 Feb 2026 20:30:38
Inwas hoping for 4 points from Leeds and palace ginger - it would be typical of Forest to do it the hard way. I think it’s a tough ask to get much at Leeds though. Tough game.

Not sure if Sels will be out for any length of time, but securing the services of Ortega will turn out good business, and the timing couldn't be better.

To me playing CHO on the right shows a lack of intention.
Nearly all the damage he causes come playing down the left.
Can understand playing only one winger in some games but if its going to be CHO use him to his best effect.
CARLO.
