Nottingham Forest banter 10

26 Jan 2026 15:20:45
Goes without saying what a great result at Brentford for SD and the Reds. Three vital points, clean sheet and only Manchester City had won there. Looked organised and determined and again shows what Forest are capable of with the first team on duty. But the iceing on the cake for me was who scored our goals. Both absolute crackers and both from the narrowist of angles. Thrilled for both of them. Jesus always puts a shift in up top, often on his own which makes his ten goal haul impressive, and just imagine what could be with a player along side him.

Awoniyis time at Forest as been a mixture of initial goal scoring, followed by horrendous bad luck with that accident and life threatening injury and then loss of form and game time. So to see him take off from halfw and net from that angle was brilliant. He wants to stay and I hope he his given more time to prove he can still do it, and score more goals like that one. U REDS.

26 Jan 2026 13:01:08
Both goals Forest scored last night were top draw! Tiawo’s surely will be goal of the season for Forest but also even the premiership. Hats off to our great manager for having watched Tiawo in training, and knew his capabilities. SDs main issue is consistency in our performances, and that is our weak spot. Soon I hope he can inspire MGW to up his level and then there would be no stopping us SD is also quite right to concentrate on the league and put out a second string for European competitions.

He cannot readily make a silk purse out of a swines ear but he is one manager that will try his best to. Should as some of us predict we end up mid table, SDs tears should be a minimum of a 1 year extension.

26 Jan 2026 13:31:08
Nuno Dyche is not considered a great manager.
Despite our win and the vital three points earned, I believe he does not deserve another opportunity with the team.

26 Jan 2026 14:26:53
I haven't been to any Larry?
Doesn't make you any better than me.?
It Certainly doesn't give you the right to look down your nose at other folk?
For all your wealth of support you certainly don't show much of it on here, I'll continue to call you out, when you criticise everything Forest, when appropriate.


You were wrong about Murrillo, and you were wrong about us getting beat yesterday.
I Certainly don't "Criticise from afar" quite the opposite in fact.

26 Jan 2026 15:08:50
We nerd competition for the forwards that usually brings the best out of them now Lucca is here perhaps we will see that. NUNO IS HISTORY WITH THIS CLUB SO STOP HARPING ON ABOUT IT West are throwing money at staying up if they fail he will be sacked again with a pocket full of money which means his time in English football is ending nobody will want him.

26 Jan 2026 15:10:38
I'm sure Sean would have taken a 0-0 yesterday and them goals surprised him as mush as us, unfortunately he's not a coach for progress, he's pragmatic approach of " If it worked for me once, it will work again! ", we need a coach who can change his tactics in real time if we are under pressure, while the games in progress, we can't concede possession like yesterday, the first 25 minutes is how we should approach games.

26 Jan 2026 15:15:51
Nothing was aimed at you Roger you've got a bit of a complex where I'm concerned. I was mearly correcting the fact that the recliner comments aimed a me were unfounded. Like red frog who supports home and away every game I will call Forest out if i think they are awful and praise them when they play well.

Yesterday was a horror show despite the win. I'm not looking down my nose at anybody Roger. I was nearly pointing out the difference between a supporter and a follower. The dictionary will support my claim. Ya need to take things easy bud and chill 👍.

26 Jan 2026 16:46:03
That’s ok I’ll take another 5 horror shows and we’ll be ok,

26 Jan 2026 19:31:35
Well said rogie
Talk about a change of personality from balloons looking for some sort of sympathy?

26 Jan 2026 20:05:15
He'll take in any form mate.
. and Cheers.

26 Jan 2026 11:05:59
So a fantastic point against Arsenal playing our first XL.
A brilliant win at very difficult Brentford, again playing our first team.
Unfortunately an abysmal display sandwiched in between by our squad players.
So who is to blame? Dyche? Is it really his fault? The dogged defensive/ low block brilliance in both our league matches coupled with some excellent forward played may suggest not. (You will have your opinion).

We don't always play like that of course.
So what else could it be?
My take on it is the recruitment has been appalling and hardly any of our new comers are good enough.
Unfortunately those same fringe players will probably be out in force on Thursday.
Wouldn't it be great to see Hutchinson and Awoniyi flying at them, on no of course we can't because some pratt left them out of the Europa squad. That's definitely not Dyche's fault.

26 Jan 2026 23:39:48
If someone buys us a season ticket, me and my sone will be back. GOt priorities at the minute though, like going on holiday after his Mum's died.

26 Jan 2026 09:47:54
OK, looks like we don't need a new striker now. 😆

More money down the toilet. Taiwo was the solution all along. 🙃.

26 Jan 2026 09:08:42
That was a decent game yesterday and really huge in that Forest defied all the odds as they did against West Ham and Arsenal. A truly battling performance with some tidy football. The back four were simply outstanding and Murillo a class above. Will Forest have the will power to hold on to him. I would imagine offers of around £100mil will be the lever. He's that good.
Its truly amazing how we have total ineptness up front most of the season, we invest in what looks like the answer in Lucca, then those 2 bang in class goals.

Nicer problem to have. Sels again showed his desire and ability to keep a clean sheet, so reliable and gave us the springboard yesterday. I know many on here still see Dyche as a dynasaur but I like him, he has a decent football brain and he's not had wood to capitalise on forward situations. Despite yesterday's cameo by Jaysoose and awoniyi I would put Lucca straight in as his presence will be to the benefit of the team. He can head a ball has quick feet and from aina and odoi will have the ammo.

26 Jan 2026 10:51:25
Good post Rutland.

26 Jan 2026 14:02:35
He's my favourite player Murrilo, fast, strong as an Ox. some Derby fan said he was "Bang Average! "
🤭🤭🤭
If that's him being bang average, then I simply cannot wait to see him. at his peak!

26 Jan 2026 15:18:46
Rogie, posted on BBC HYS that Murillo limps around the box, ( watch him), but soon as there's danger he pounces like a Cheetah, brilliant player, and seems a real nice lad, deserves all the praise.

{Ed's Note - Klopps new glasses has posted a new article entitled, Slot's Liverpool Project Unravels Despite Early Promise

26 Jan 2026 01:05:22
Right reds, I'd like to address a few things on the site. Starting with the constant accusations about certain posters being the enemy, clearly they are not and they are entitled to their opinions as much as you are. You may not like it but suck it up buttercup. As for the constant attacks regarding someones beliefs, its out of order, get a grip, you know who you are and you jump on honest peoples attempts to clarify their feelings.
Take a leaf out of Stokeys book and post, post again and post again trying to reiterate your point. Sorry mate couldn't resist. But its seriously getting sad on here, we're all entitled to say what we think and what we see (through our own eyes).

Basically we're all reds, fantastic result yesterday played in the style of last seasons successes, two mangers born from the same mould maybe.
Taiwo is a hero, kept us up in his first season, last season he was put on the back burner due to woodys fantastic form and when he was called apon he literally gave everything including his health. I don't think I've ever celebrated as much as his goal today. A fantastic goal for a fantastic guy.
Anyway, a slightly drunken post from a guy enjoying his holiday in eden. Stop the bitchin, stop questioning peoples loyalty and let people have opinions without being a complete Richard Head. 🌳.

26 Jan 2026 05:03:12
Great post Red Robin you hit the nail on the head.

26 Jan 2026 07:40:25
Get on with cooking that salmon hood. And watch out fir them big pussy cats 🤣🤣.

26 Jan 2026 07:48:00
One particular poster thinks that everyone is a woolly back if someone thinks we are going to lose.

26 Jan 2026 08:09:44
Your post is spot Red Robin. There seems to be differences of opion what supporting you club means lately. Because some of us disagree about the state our club is in i. e. 4th from bottom.
We are labeled non supporters
Born and bred in Nottingham so growing up decided to support my local team and not jump on the Man Utd or Liverpool bandwagon like many around the country.
Support means going through the turnstiles and contributing money to the club's growth.

If you've never been to games your not a supporter your a follower. So as I allegedly hide behind my recliner, I'll ask how many games have these folk been to who criticise from afar. Now Bowie has been to scores of games but lives in Newcastle. He can do it. Just think on some of you. Glory hunting is frowned on by the majority.

26 Jan 2026 08:12:14
Apologies from me I just love this club and always will❤️.

26 Jan 2026 09:23:37
100% agree Larry, I had my first Forest shirt as a 6 month old from my grandad. I’m now 56. I inherited the club - my first match as a young boy was in the old second division as a 6 year old. But one poster thinks he’s above all that.

I support - but importantly I don’t happy clap. If it’s a poor performance I call it as it is. That poster knows who he is and he should decease and apologise immediately.

26 Jan 2026 09:47:42
Like all football clubs anywhere you have a cross section of life, fans who go to every match whether they can afford to or not their club means more to them than their everyday life and that's great for them but don't try to justify being a true fan by how many pound notes you've donated to your clubs coffers. Plus if you have different outlook on the way your club plays that's your opinions and does not define your affiliation to that club or any other club.

I was hoping for Man Utd to win last night because I want Villa to win the Premier now that doesn't mean I'm any less a true Forest fan I'M A FOOTBALL FAN WHO FOLLOWS THE MIGHTY REDS wake up you lot come together and some of you get a life 🤡🤡.

26 Jan 2026 09:50:07
We all do mumad, that what love for your club does. Devides opion when we are struggling.

26 Jan 2026 10:24:10
Well said RedRobinHood. Lots of people getting tired of it as well 👍.

26 Jan 2026 11:44:14
Spot on as usual Froggy. I took great pleasure in handing over to my eldest grandson. My scarf I wore at both European Cup finals and all of the preceding legs leading up to them. He wears it with pride at every match and The club did a little social media post about it too.
I also gave him my collection of programmes going back to 1965.

Great names in them. Joe Baker, Frank Wignall, Peter Grummit, Ian Storey -Moore to name a few. I'll take no lectures about recliners. I brought a bungalow in Skegness and retired because I worked all my life and made it possible. I've definitely done my bit boys, I can assure you.

26 Jan 2026 12:22:49
Good post Red Robin
Oddly enough I was saying to Lego the other evening that I was going to resolve to post less because of a sense of ennui ( if only the French had an equivalent word for tediousness eh? ), and time being wasted. I do have a recurring vision of Skeggs/ Larry/ DTP and myself as the couple in the famous Walter Sickert painting! 😂😂😂💤💤💤
Seriously, Larry, I have to agree with your last post. With a Mum from the Meadows and a Forest supporting Dad from Radford it was always going to be the Reds I followed. First City Ground visit when I was 9 (he made me a red and white painted wooden box to stand on so I could see). I was hooked. There’s a photo of me around that age with a full Forest kit ( long before you could buy them) with a red stripe down my white shorts sewed on by my Mum and the old Forest badge courtesy of my Uncle Bob who was on Forests books for a while.

He got me an autograph book with all the teams signatures too, both of which I've still got.
Nick Hornby in his book “ Fever Pitch” about his life long passion for Arsenal says it started because he was taken as a kid to Highbury to see a game and he compares it to a newly hatched duckling seeing a dog and, because it’s the first thing its seen, assumes it’s his mother. Which rings true I think….
Ramble over…. I’m going to restrict myself to one post a game. Starting on Brentford. After all, as I’ve said before, it matters not a jot what we say on here, our fate ( and SD’s ) is in the hands of a big Greek guy. It’s like we are all a group of bald men arguing over a comb……
But we all share the same love, our glorious club despite the frictions. I mean, has anybody had a lifelong true love that hasn’t had its arguments and failings out? Coyr!

26 Jan 2026 15:23:08
Good post Stokey. They were great days. In at 1.30pm every Saturday, no crap p. a. system pumping out distorted white noise and crap records, just rival fans singing at each other for an hour and half and that famous football humour in the chants is unique. 👍.

26 Jan 2026 00:08:38
Team for Thursday.


Gunn

Savona Abbott Morato Cuenha

Domingues Yates
Bakwa McAtee N'Doye

Jesus.

25 Jan 2026 22:26:44
Dyche ball eh? I mean, who needs it?
😂🙄😉.

25 Jan 2026 22:56:36
Stokey fair play mate can't argue and won't
Enjoyed the game it showed resilience In both halves.

25 Jan 2026 23:03:04
To do a great right do a little wrong. ”Shakespeare.

25 Jan 2026 23:33:25
What a terrible display to win 3 points away from home to a top 8 team.

26 Jan 2026 04:45:21
Posted before it's in Sean's hands to make it hard on Mr Marinakis, if he's planning a change for next season, the goals was great both starting from our defending and scored with aplomb by Jesus and Awoniyi.

26 Jan 2026 09:51:30
We were poor. Look at the expected goals stats. We needed the three points, but it was a lucky hit-and-run, thank God.

No glossing over the truth though. We didn't look good enough.

26 Jan 2026 15:32:07
I thought we would be more tired in the second half after Thursdays game, didn't happen,. Brentford had a very good home record, if it came down to stats and what should happen the bookies would be broke🤷.

25 Jan 2026 22:01:45
It's amazing that you win a game but forest supporters?
Skeggs , balloons, redfrog, redvale aren't happy because it didn't fit their agenda
Not a hint of well done?
Not a hint of being happy?
No wonder you get called sheep.

25 Jan 2026 22:27:13
Oh dtp please give it a rest. you really do get boring the poster that disappeared for 6 weeks at a time last season because he was proved wrong about nuno and sels 🤣🤣🤣 and doesn't fit agenda your the master of it 🤣🤣🤣 night night dtp you really do make yourself look stupid 😴.

25 Jan 2026 22:54:15
I remember when balloons got banned that you said you didn't want to share a site with the edd?
Like i keep saying how can you call yourself a forest fan?
There's nothing you like and still can't bring yourself to say well done after winning today?
It surely isn't that hard?
Im no dyche fan but I can congratulate, why can't you?

25 Jan 2026 23:37:31
Totally agree with you Skegs. God, I'm so bored with DTP's posts.

26 Jan 2026 01:01:56
For your information oh high priest of football (not) I'm a big fan of dyche, and I got one will be eternally grateful to him if he keeps us up. I've never posted anything detrimental about forest, so get your facts right.

you should be old enough to except your wrong. i do have a brain and once again don't think you can bully me because you can't.

26 Jan 2026 05:10:18
See there he goes again, old keyboard warrior. I say it how I think it is. Don’t like it then don’t read my posts. Very simple idea that hopefully anyone with a single brain could grasp.
Yesterday was a much needed three points but we have to realise you can’t defend your way up the table.

That’s an honest assessment. Two fantastic goals, superb defensive performances from all our back four and Sels looking solid again. Forwards living off scraps, midfield over run at times.

25 Jan 2026 21:28:51
Well done Forest, soooooo happy that we won that game today, that's 6 unexpected points picked up in the last couple of weeks Fairplay to Dyche, other than that absolute horror show in Europe on Thursday night he's getting a bit of a run together and there are some winnable matches at home on the horizon.

Sunday is a huge game now, Palace won’t fancy it - we need to show up.

25 Jan 2026 22:22:47
The game on Thursday is not now important, we are going to play extra games what ever happens, if I was Sean I'd pick the second string, and tell them there staying on unless there injured, don't risk bringing on the main squad, even give Gunn a game.

25 Jan 2026 22:24:37
Yes that win broke a few hearts on here today
2 star another season in the premier and no return for nuno and certainly no apology coming
No edu sacking either
Nuno will send us down though as the east coast always right?

26 Jan 2026 07:46:20
Morning dtp see you was talking to yourself again last night. not a very good sign that you ok 🤣 talking of wanting the best for forest. why would any fan want a bloke in charge of transfers tactics and managers still in charge that's wasted 200 million on players 3 managers in 6 months is it just because it suits your agenda 🤣🤣 just asking mate.

25 Jan 2026 21:08:07
So Arsenal drop points and we gain on them, still 45 points to play for and we're only 20 behind, title race on🤣🌳.

25 Jan 2026 21:16:39
Make that 25🙄, maths was never my strong suit. 🌳.

25 Jan 2026 21:19:32
And I'd like to add, i'm so happy for Taiwo, after almost dying for the club today must have felt good. 🌳.

25 Jan 2026 21:31:29
I'm convinced we'll win the title too Winter. Have you been glue sniffing tonight like me mate?!

25 Jan 2026 21:49:25
Special mention to Matty Sels!
Brilliant block when they were clean through!
👏👏👏.

25 Jan 2026 22:28:43
Taiwo went through that defence like a bulldozer.

25 Jan 2026 22:29:38
Sels, Aina, Milenovic, Murillo, Williams I would say the best defensive unit in the Premier, know each others strengths and weakness and cover for one another, could have been a different season if all was fit from the start.

25 Jan 2026 22:51:15
Really can't argue with that mossy, they all compliment each other perfectly. 🌳.

25 Jan 2026 23:19:30
Undoubtedly mossy
Got unlucky this season with injuries.

26 Jan 2026 09:20:15
Nothing to do with being unlucky this season with injuries. If the recruitment were doing there job properly they would of bought in players that were better that could replace the injuries and it wasn't done that was nunos argument at the start of the season. And he was right.

26 Jan 2026 11:55:11
Skegs, your like that Harry Enfield character "Only Me! ", always shows up to state the bleeding obvious, bad recruitment was a argument weeks ago, Nottingham Forest got 3 very needed points, just for yesterday's game something positive about the game would be appreciated! 👍.

26 Jan 2026 16:49:04
Mossy I was commenting on dtp post blaming injuries maybe you should read posts first before making yourself look stupid 🙄.

27 Jan 2026 10:00:02
Calling me stupid 🤦, that's rich coming from a man child!.

27 Jan 2026 10:23:05
It's a banter site between posters, not just you and DTP 👍👍.

27 Jan 2026 12:15:31
Well censored Ed, 🙄.

25 Jan 2026 17:54:46
Great to get the 3 points today. Really didn’t see that coming but fantastic surprise. I had to laugh…. we just get Lucca in as we are desperate for a striker and then we see both Jesus and Awoniyi come in with a goal each! Never rains but it pours lol.

Pleased for both of them and hopefully will do their confidence the world of good.

Solid defence today! Just lacking a bit of control on the ball. Players chasing scraps a lot of the time. No wonder Dyche wants them to be fitter! lol.

Anyway, great win by all concerned. Hopefully a good display next Sunday against Palace.

25 Jan 2026 20:19:37
I said before the game you can't judge till we've watched it?
Well some had us down and out before we even arrived, football never works like that as I've found over the years
Like I also keep saying dyche will not be a long term appointment, but he's just took seven points from 3 games and yesterday nuno was going to take us down according to some?
I criticised the performance as did everyone midweek but I also give credit when its due abd well done today to everyone who got those three points first 30 mins won the game.

25 Jan 2026 20:54:42
🤣🤣🤣 dtp you change your mind more than chameleons change there colours to suit. And I still think the classy nuno will keep west ham up.

25 Jan 2026 21:10:34
You ready are a piece of work DTP, you want to make up your mind witch side your on. happy clappy as the east coast massive call us or forest disrespected. As I posted earlier stokey and Bowie are forest through and through, you sit on the fence and pick on posters who disagree with you.

25 Jan 2026 21:23:39
Did either of you take time to read my post 3 hours before kick off?
No, cus your more interested in trying to score points instead of supporting your team.

25 Jan 2026 21:40:36
You'll never be a piece of work, red Vale as you haven't got the brains.

Ps I thought you'd decided to do one redvale?

25 Jan 2026 21:51:36
Splinter 2 dtp 🤣🤣🤣.

25 Jan 2026 22:07:51
And still no well done from skeggs the bin dipper.

25 Jan 2026 22:27:49
🤣🤣🤣🤣.

25 Jan 2026 22:38:50
Brilliant result. Not a great performance but 3 points is all that matters.
