Nottingham Forest banter 10

07 Dec 2025 06:40:55
Think everyone needs to get off their horses, far too much pessimism. True we had a bad game, but we also had similar experiences under Nuno, so I’m not getting too carried away.

07 Dec 2025 07:26:18
Think everyone needs to be realistic we're shite 🤣.

07 Dec 2025 08:36:05
Good post SB. Disappointing performance but
Let’s look at the facts….
Everton are purring atm with Moyes ( in post over 2 seasons with an actual pre season and funding to hire players like Grealish, not like SD with 6 weeks under his belt and 3rd manager this season, picking up the pieces) and are 5 from top whereas as we were 5 from bottom
Everton had an extra days recovery whereas we had a game Wednesday night with travelling ( ie not much time to prepare and recover injuries). I’m assuming Everton flew to Bournemouth and back from John Lennon.


We have a massive injury list ( we were lucky in that regard under Nuno) including key players like Wood, Murillo, Aina Olna, Luiz, and now Yates. That’s without back up players like Zinchenko, Bakwa etc.
OK, I don’t absolve SD from errors of selection ( easy with hindsight) for yesterday including keeping the same starting 11 from Wolves. I’d have started Yates instead of Sanghere for example and CHO for Ndoye), but it’s easy from our armchairs isn’t it comrades.
Keep the faith. SD is our best chance in the situation we are in. Coyr!

07 Dec 2025 09:02:27
Stokey, I could not have put that better myself. Everton are on a high atm. Somehow they need Toto beat or draw with Spurs next Sunday to restore confidences all round, players and fans!

07 Dec 2025 09:19:28
One thing I'd add stokey, is we have to stop these individual errors, because that's what cost us the game
Also cut down on all this launching from sels, if we are going to keep doing that then no point playing three central midfielders, better with 442.

07 Dec 2025 17:55:49
Good points DTP. Dyche just needs time on the training ground. Look at what we achieved against Liverpool when SD had a two week international break to prepare. The few days will be like gold to him.

I’d just add that, while Everton were much the better team we got nowt from the ref. Savona booked after 30 seconds when I thought he got something on the ball and Grealish went down like he’s been shot, what’s that all about?

Plus Tarkowski should have seen red for a pretty straightforward violent conduct. That’s the same player who cleared a shot off the line when he shouldn’t have been on the pitch.


The ref may even have given them an assist for their breakaway second. The results of the official complaint will be interesting.

Remember also Everton haven’t had the extra Europa games to contend with. SDs biggest problem to solve is to have time to prepare and recover with his reserves depleted and key players injured. We looked knackered from the start yesterday…. but solving that problem is what he’s paid the big bucks for and what he’s personally equipped to do.

07 Dec 2025 06:14:44
Nothing positive from yesterday's game!, MGW and Anderson are not on the plane yet for the World cup, neither had a good game at Everton. Jesus was isolated and needs help along side of him, otherwise he's a injury waiting to happen, when Dyche tried playing Calvert Lewis the same way when Everton coach, he picked up injuries regularly and his confidence was shattered!

07 Dec 2025 07:27:40
Did you not wear your rose tinted glasses yesterday mossy 🤣.

07 Dec 2025 08:32:22
Just my opinion Skegs, disappointed we lacked any fight!.

That looks awful. fancy putting a dubai building in Nottingham. That would be like putting race horses on skegness beach 🤣.

06 Dec 2025 21:49:11
That's the brian clough stand, but with an extra tier already has those concrete pillars 😁🤣🤣.

06 Dec 2025 21:56:33
It's never looked that good 🤣😅 ai at its best.

06 Dec 2025 22:12:45
Got you down to paint it
Your alright on a ladder aren't you? 😁🤣🤣🤣.

07 Dec 2025 09:21:55
The buildings in Dubai are much much bigger. They are painted by Bangladeshi wage slaves who are killed via industrial accident in their hundreds yearly. I was once in the swimming pool on the roof of a hotel in Dubai about 30 stories up when a couple of guys in a very ramshackle platform painted in 40 degrees of heat!

{Ed001's Note - it is nothing like that now. For starters, no workers are allowed by law to work out in the midday heat. As for wage slaves, it depends on how you view it - they do the jobs because it pays better than anything they can earn anywhere else. They earn enough to live and send money home to feed their entire family. And to suggest hundreds die yearly is just nonsense, even if you forget that Bangladeshi workers barely number in the thousands in total.}

07 Dec 2025 16:15:36
See stokey you do get it wrong from reading, just like with your horse racing "facts" 😁🤣🤣🤣.

07 Dec 2025 17:57:51
Well it’s been 10 years since I was there so I’m glad things have improved. Unlike horse racing.

06 Dec 2025 19:54:14
Surely that's slot last game in charge ed. you can have dyche if you want him.

{Ed001's Note - not Dyche but it is time for Slot to go, can't keep commuting to Holland in a job like this.}

06 Dec 2025 20:13:29
I'm suprised he's been allowed to do that
Didn't klopp only have a flat in Liverpool though and commuted?

{Ed001's Note - no, Klopp and Ulla lived in Brendan Rodgers old house, which was Gerrard's house before that. Slot, on the other hand, has left his family in Holland. Should never have been allowed, commit or don't take the job.}

06 Dec 2025 20:21:08
Agree on that, didn't realise.

{Ed001's Note - it is weak management by Hughes to allow it.}

06 Dec 2025 20:36:55
They won't sack him this season.

{Ed001's Note - they won't have a choice if this carries on. No director likes to be under scrutiny and heat is starting to turn on them as well, they will sack him simply to avoid being under pressure if results don't improve.}

06 Dec 2025 20:44:11
Think more chance of chelsea sacking their coach tbh.?

{Ed001's Note - I wouldn't be surprised to see both go this season.}

06 Dec 2025 20:55:49
Shows how quickly fortunes change in football villa had three points from their opening five games
Now look at them.

06 Dec 2025 21:13:21
Villa have a great manager. we have dycheball the escape artist and that's all we will ever be with him in charge.

06 Dec 2025 21:33:45
Tbh I didn't want him at all
But then we pit in a few decent performances and scored a few aswell
The argument with Dyche has always been that he's never had a good squad of players to play any different?
Next few games will see, cus today's tactics where pathetic, no defence.

06 Dec 2025 22:38:18
Seems Salah has started stirring the pot, player revolt should have Slot out the door. 🌳.

07 Dec 2025 09:25:06
Salah has shown himself to be a prima donna. Dropped from the starting 11 for a couple of games and starts crying about it. Throwing the teddies out of the pram,

06 Dec 2025 18:51:57
Anyway edd told you you'd beat leeds
It's to easy aswell.

06 Dec 2025 19:06:04
Your predictions 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.

06 Dec 2025 19:06:33
I can put the mockers on anything 😁🤣🤣🤣.

06 Dec 2025 19:07:20
We've got morato and you've got Konate.

06 Dec 2025 19:30:26
Da don't think so.

06 Dec 2025 19:34:14
Liverpool site has std we have dtp 🤣🤣🤣.

06 Dec 2025 19:58:59
Love that one skeggs 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.

06 Dec 2025 20:00:34
My next prediction is we will lose every game for the rest of the season 😁🤣🤣🤣
That should fix things 🤣🤣🤣🤣.

06 Dec 2025 22:35:34
Skegs 🤣🤣🤣🌳.

06 Dec 2025 18:19:12
It’s toss up between Morato Gibbs White and Ndoye as to who was our worst player today

I can’t split them they were all 2/ 10 imo.

06 Dec 2025 18:31:43
Totally agree munmad.

06 Dec 2025 19:10:04
Toss up between ange and dyche who is tge worst manager 🤣🤣.

06 Dec 2025 19:42:21
Bring back Dougie freedman I say 😁🤣🤣.

06 Dec 2025 18:12:54
If you think we've wasted money in transfers take a look at wirtz at Liverpool, lightweight and not premier league material.

06 Dec 2025 18:48:30
I don't care about Liverpool 🤣🤣 we're forest and edus wasted 200 million simple edu out.

06 Dec 2025 17:09:20
Will Europe football get us relegated?

06 Dec 2025 18:08:43
Don't think so Carlo, but it might be a close one. You only have to look at last season spurs and utd with there resources. Dyche has to make a decision Europa League or the premier League, I would expect anyone on this site would want the latter.

06 Dec 2025 20:12:42
"Will Europe football get us relegated? "

No, sh177y negative managers will get us relegated.

If we had a boss with half a brain cell, we would definitely be fine in the league and focus on trying to qualify for the Champions League via Europa win.

The owner wants us to win Europa. If the boss doesn't deliver that and also struggles in the Prem, we will be looking for a new one by the summer.

06 Dec 2025 19:15:33
Don’t think SD will have the final word on this which is a pity because the man with he most clout at the club has got most things wrong so far and caused so much disharmony since he began influencing Mr M.

06 Dec 2025 17:57:59
I hate to say it Reds whilst eating my humble-pie - but I thought that Garner looked quality today. Very good at starting attacks and also good at his defensive work in slowing down our attacks.

It's got me thinking whether we should cash-in on Anderson and get him back.

06 Dec 2025 18:34:55
We will cash in on Anderson, but not in January
Personally like to cash in on MGW, but then again our tactics of booting the ball to a lone striker doesn't help his game.

06 Dec 2025 18:53:42
Dyche said he needed a couple months to implement his style DTP. Well it's well and truly embedded now. Megson plus VAT. Absolute garbage. It's unwatchable enjoy the rest of the season. Especially in February 🥶🧊🥶.

06 Dec 2025 19:39:24
I'll be there no matter the weather balloons
Love the whole day at a match
Can't beat live football and meeting up with family and friends
I'm a fan and sen far worse in 60 years trust me.

06 Dec 2025 16:29:58
Hutchinson as big a flop as everyone else today.

06 Dec 2025 17:39:36
Edus great signings say no more🤣🤣.

06 Dec 2025 18:07:19
No link up play to him from MGW, Sangare
Jesus isolated again,
There's to much boot from sels.

06 Dec 2025 18:12:34
We didn't turn up and got what we deserved nothing. What is going on with our medical team they're dropping like flies, Kudas, Richalison and Co will have a field day next week Stick Morato up front if you've got to play him he's not a defender 🤡.

06 Dec 2025 18:27:28
Oh dear reading down the page. I told everyone.
After the Liverpool game one swallow doesn't make a summer. We assembled 200 million quids worth of crap and put a clown like (lump it at every opportunity) Dyche in charge.
It's over forget it this season.
I can feel a bedsheet coming on 🤣.

06 Dec 2025 18:44:53
You've got your forest heroes in woan and stone as part of the team dyche balloons
Like I said edu doesn't buy the players anyway
And today only savona, jesus, ndoye and Hutchinson started of our new players
And two went off at half time
It's the likes of morato, sangare, MGW and Cho that aren't performing along with nearly a whole team out injured
Nuno messed the season up for the fans instead of walking away like a decent person.

06 Dec 2025 19:07:47
You keep telling yourself he has nothing to do with the signings 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.

06 Dec 2025 19:20:40
Why would nuno walk away 🤣🤣🤣 he done a great job and was shown up in front of millions on tv when maranakis spat his dummy out like you do. earnt every penny had maranakis pants down and he's still smiling. he said edu was a idiot and he's been proved right simples we love nuno 🤣🤣🤣 edu out.

06 Dec 2025 19:35:15
Stop it skeggs, you'll have winter and lego on my case 😁🤣🤣🤣.

06 Dec 2025 20:37:54
Lego will be hitting you with his false leg. After he's tried to beat me with it 🤣🤣.

06 Dec 2025 20:45:16
Shall we behave?

06 Dec 2025 21:11:38
I always behave 😁.

{Ed001's Note - I have no words!}

06 Dec 2025 21:38:49
Ed1 you can borrow some of mine if you've lost your voice 😁.

{Ed001's Note - you certainly have more than enough.}

06 Dec 2025 21:53:00
Thank you ed. everyone usually says I'm a quiet person. I knew they was lying 😁 anyway I'm going quiet now work in morning so you can get some sleep now dream about a new manager. And another title in 20 years time if your lucky 🤣🤣.

{Ed001's Note - I won't get much sleep tonight after Salah's comments! The Liverpool site will be in flames all night.}

06 Dec 2025 22:10:18
Missed salahs comments will look now.

06 Dec 2025 22:11:18
Wow that's one hell of a statement from salah.

06 Dec 2025 22:12:51
Just read it that's slot done. and your going to be up for a week. you think this sites bad god help you 🤣🤣.

{Ed001's Note - if you hear crying in the corner, that is just me breaking down!}

06 Dec 2025 17:12:53
Morato has to be dropped
A clearing lack of pace and pistional sense, can't pass either
Dyche you've watched him give a goal away to Brighton , now he's done it again today
Always a mistake in him in every game
Terrible defender.

06 Dec 2025 17:41:06
If it ain't Morato it's Sangare. Didn't take you long to revert back to default setting.
Apart from Anderson they were all crap today and not much better against Wolves.
There's far more wrong with this team than Morato.
Without Murillo carrying the defense it doesn't matter who you bring in.

06 Dec 2025 18:00:09
When we can't defend under Ange, it's the coaches fault. Now it's the players?

I'm seeing double standards here. We've been cr4p AGAIN. That's my in depth analysis.

If we have the 14th most valuable squad in world football and we are cr4p, is it the coach or the players to blame?

06 Dec 2025 18:48:13
Fred when have you ever seen morato play a good game?
Try cuhna?
He can't be any worse. or put Abbott there in his favoured position
Dyche messed up playing murillo against malmo, especially at left back and he's injured now
Just saying Fred no reverting to type at all.

06 Dec 2025 18:50:10
Half the squad is injured though cyclist.

06 Dec 2025 19:10:15
Morato had loads of good games coming on to see out matches last season 😅.
If Cunha was any good don't you think the last 3 managers would be playing him?
Oh I forgot 3 managers in a matter of months can all get it wrong lol.
As for Abbott, keep him in the under twelves where he belongs.

06 Dec 2025 19:32:44
In a back five for 20 mins, never a starter in flat back four Fred, hrs not good enough to play that.

06 Dec 2025 19:52:23
Half the squad is not injured. One FB, one CB, two strikers (one of whom you all wanted to be sold) and a player who has barely played 90 mins for us (Luiz) is injured.

If you can't get this squad playing better than this, you aren't good enough.

06 Dec 2025 20:09:01
Injury list
Aina
Zinchenko two full backs
Luiz
Bakwa getting there
Wood
Yates
Murillo
Angus
Awoniyi
That's eight outfield players
Dyche won't play CHO, cuhna mcatee, killy in the premier anyway no matter what
So we have 12 players unable to play from our squad atm.

06 Dec 2025 20:48:04
Gunn, Yates, Bakwa aren't in the team normally. Luiz has played about 5 minutes. Most of you wanted Zinchenko dropped and Awoniyi sold.

We are only MISSING Murillo, Wood and Aina from the regular starting 11. If the boss can't cope with missing 3 of his starting 11 then he isn't capable of managing an elite squad in Europe.

I'm often wrong, sometimes just to wind people up. I'm not wrong about this.

06 Dec 2025 21:20:16
I wouldn't argue dyche got it totally wrong today
His tactics last two games don't suit the squad
We are better building from the back and Anderson and MGW carrying the ball forwards and making space for the wingers
Instead we have sels and morato pumping long balls aimlessly and hoping.

07 Dec 2025 06:00:49
The squad is missing good players.

07 Dec 2025 10:01:42
Every squad has injuries, especially in Europe. You have to have a boss who can manage the squad.

06 Dec 2025 17:04:52
Absolutely atrocious performance again. Lack of spirit and togetherness really evident to me.

VAR are still looking into an incident - that being if we actually turned up today.

06 Dec 2025 17:11:15
How well everton are playing without dyche.

06 Dec 2025 17:26:43
Wouldn't say Everton are playing well, we just gave them 3 goals and you can't do that to any team.

06 Dec 2025 17:27:24
Yeh have to agree Skegs - mind you Moyes is a superb manager.

06 Dec 2025 15:55:02
We looked like a bottom three side today.

06 Dec 2025 17:06:55
A dismal performance BSE.
