Nottingham Forest Banter 2

25 Apr 2026 16:03:21
Spurs still 0-0. If it stays there we're safe.

25 Apr 2026 16:19:26
Stokey, I take him off the road. You've got my back. Remember the plan.

25 Apr 2026 16:42:21
😂

You know it's true.

25 Apr 2026 16:46:22
They've fecking scored. Looks like we might need another point. 🤮 🤮 🤮

25 Apr 2026 16:50:46
Everton have equalised with West Ham though. Swings and roundabouts.

25 Apr 2026 11:46:29
We've gone from being totally hopeless at set pieces to looking like scoring every time. I heard VP saying his coaches had worked on them during the week. About time! Onwards to Thursday, a close game but confident.

25 Apr 2026 13:00:39
Rather than playing it straight in, they seemed to have worked on taking it short. Nice to see them using their brains. 🌳

25 Apr 2026 13:38:09
We have gone from counter attacking under Nuno, and at times park the bus, to reckless under Ange, not quite sure of what was required under Dyche.

Now we seem to have found the happy medium under VP, with clear, simple instructions.

25 Apr 2026 16:02:49
Great performance. Good coaching, players focused. If only we'd got VP sooner.

Onwards and upwards. Villa next!

25 Apr 2026 11:24:31
Just want to say how good it was to see young Netz get a chance last night. Played well for the limited time he had on the pitch and was instrumental in the build up to the 5th goal. 🌳

25 Apr 2026 13:22:25
5th goal, you say. Fifth!!!!!

25 Apr 2026 10:28:13
I can’t add anything to the superlatives already posted.
Scintillating attacking performance first half with organized pressing and ruthless finishing, forcing mistakes from a team that are usually well organised defensively. Followed by a disciplined defensive display second half, despite yet another injury loss to a key centre back.

I’m assuming the substitution of Sanghere was tactical with a glut of games coming up?
VP is a brilliant man manager and a superb tactician. He’s somehow found a way to get Jesus in his most effective position as number 10 behind Woody whilst keeping MGW happy scoring goals for fun, out wider but tucked in when out of position.

25 Apr 2026 11:52:31
I think TV said Sangare had a minor knock.
Well done, Stokey, a post without a quote from some random dead poet, only joking. 😉

25 Apr 2026 21:48:16
Thanks MV, but at the end of the day, mate, and today's results...
"Ours is not to reason why
Ours is but to do or die"
Damn it, there I go again... 😂😂🤭🤭😃

To be perfectly honest I thought I had dreamt the whole thing, and thought this was Friday morning! However, I looked at the sports news, there it was, and my jaw dropped!
Sunderland 0-5 Forest
Match that, Londoners!
COYR

That was one hell of a game.
Great performance all round and the team are looking fantastic under VP.
The squad seem to like and trust him.
Wood and Jesus upfront works well.
I will be keeping a close eye on Wolves today and I really hope they beat the horrible Spurs to join them in the Championship.
COYR.

Beautiful performance. We all might be sitting down for a slice of pie as it seems this gaffer has unearthed a gem …… He’s called Jesus ….

25 Apr 2026 07:46:44
Jesus was going to struggle as a lone striker, but circumstances dictated that he had to, and I think, at times, he looked a bit frustrated, but he still got on with it, and gave his all.

Now Wood is back, hopefully we get to see what he's all about, and he finishes the season strongly.

He might just be a bargain signing.

Keep the Faith.

25 Apr 2026 08:57:11
Not a bad performance, eh RHR, considering you think he's the worst player to ever play in a Forest shirt.
Like Bowie, I think this lad's got something.
Sunderland have a very, very good defensive set up. They were superb when they beat us at the WFCG. But they couldn't cope with Jesus (and the rest of the lads) last night.

Just as Burnley couldn't when he came on.

By the way, I'm still chuckling, mate, at your remark that the 6 Burnley defenders chasing him for our last goal "nearly" caught him. They didn't, and he finished brilliantly.
It's like saying Usain Bolt was only the fastest man in the world by a few split seconds.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

25 Apr 2026 09:11:11
We love Dyche. 🤣🤣🤣

25 Apr 2026 09:12:31
That's got to be the comparison of the year, Stokey.
Usain Bolt and Igor Jesus.
I reckon your happiness has turned to madness, my friend.

25 Apr 2026 10:06:42
Was a video going round of Jesus going through with 6 Burnley players chasing him, to the tune of Benny Hill (ask ya grandad, kids).

25 Apr 2026 10:20:30
Nah Gazzi, I’m not comparing like with like, mate. Jesus has about the same amount of pace as Teddy Sheringham, ie not that much, but it didn’t stop him becoming a great, did it. It’s knowing when to break, isn’t it, that first 20 to 30 yards. Woodys got it.

In a straight foot race none of the above are Elangas, are they?
Anyway, Bolt never had a football to control with 6 blokes trying to take his legs from under him, did he? And still have the composure to slip it past the advancing keeper. Just brilliant!

25 Apr 2026 13:31:14
Great comeback, Skegs. 👏🏻👍🙄

24 Apr 2026 23:54:48
One of the most impressive wins from our club with absolutely everyone giving all they have got. I’m tired of hearing how Jesus is not a Premier League striker. Tonight he scored one and made another two. With him and Wood up front, we will surely score more. Even Taiwo looked good when he came on.
Great attacking and defending all round and again Pereira made the right tactical choice of bringing more midfielders on to stop Sunderland’s midfielders flooding possession.


Very proud of the team and all the staff and supporters. More points are still available and I think we can still grab some. Brilliant night. I just happened to be watching Matt Forde live when it was happening. Couldn’t believe the scores my phone kept showing!

25 Apr 2026 02:17:51
Just got back home, right trek for a Friday night, but certainly worth it.

The away fans tonight were fantastic from minute 1, and I believe actually contributed to the performance, one of the best away atmospheres I've ever known.



Fair few Sunderland fans congratulated us after saying we were the best fans they've seen this season.

That's us safe now n hopefully we can have a right good go v Villa. 👏 🙌 👍 💪

{Ed001's Note - I just wish you had kept your top on, it was nice you wanted to show support for Anderson but I had just eaten.}

25 Apr 2026 03:00:23
Good lad.

25 Apr 2026 06:04:40
Absolutely superb lads!!!!
Well done!

24 Apr 2026 23:23:41
And so ta bed.
Quite simply, how the game should be played at this level. So simple but so true.
Know I've been banging on about Anderson, but reds, I did tell you all he was putting shifts in, but the end product wasn't there.


Obviously bless the laddie none of us can work out the cracks in the team as in situations like that, but I do see the (or for me obviously) the obvious flaws.
Tbh I'd wouldn't know where to start tonight. So just enjoy as I have.
Night.

24 Apr 2026 22:59:36
Can I say, well done VP. This was Forest at their best. Do we really need a new striker when we have Jesus, Wood and Tiawo! Who said 442 was a thing of the past? It certainly works for us in goal scoring and getting the best out of MGW. What a reward for the traveling cohort of Red fans who I am sure couldn’t believe what was happening! They played as a team. Hopefully Cunha injury is not serious as he definitely an asset as it’s Netz.

If by the end of tomorrow we are a 100% safe, maybe more fringe players can be blooded? I hope Anderson’s head is not turned by one of the big clubs. He must realise that the atmosphere at Forest is one he might not find elsewhere. Should we manage to beat AV which is a real challenge, maybe he might stay?

25 Apr 2026 07:45:51
We can't mathematically be 100 per cent safe by today. No no no, mate.

25 Apr 2026 09:13:53
Sorry, that should read NoNo...
