Nottingham Forest banter 2

06 Nov 2025 23:08:02
We completely outclassed Sturm. They hardly had a look in. We were unlucky with injuries and Jesus's absence. No we didn't score but we got a point. A lot of clubs in the competition got beat tonight by several goals, so it's not over till its over.


We can blame individuals in the team but I can't say that any of them didn't want to win it.
Keep the faith, give the manager and lads more time, and let's look forwards not backwards. What's past is past. Wipe the slate clean and go with what we've got.

07 Nov 2025 01:59:18
Anyone would think it's the end of the world, what did people expect this season? Forest putting everyone to the sword. Deep down you knew it wasn't going to happen and we have to get over it and move onto the next game. like I said in a previous post We got a point away from home, yes a poor performance MGW should hang his head in shame, I see it as two points lost. but the brass tacks of it is we've gone back to the same sinario as coopers first season in the premier League, a shed full of players coming in and disrupting a tight knit squad.

as DTP pointed out most came in late due to the court case, and the conflict of interest between Nuno and Edu hasn't helped. But we can't turn the clock back we have to move forward, so bring on Leeds get behind dyche and hope for a win to keep us in touch with those above us, and have a little bit of faith.

06 Nov 2025 22:50:55
I bet Anderson can wait to get out of here, I think if we, d have carried on in the same vain as last year we might have retained him one more season but with the fiasco that we’re seeing that just is not going to happen and he could possibly leave in Jan.
Such a shame that a wrecking ball was released.
Totally unnecessary.

06 Nov 2025 22:45:17
There have been some massive self inflicted eff up in football over the years and what us fans are experiencing now is on massive self inflicted eff up.
Marinakis and Edu hold your heads in shame.

06 Nov 2025 22:34:25
Sean you need to sort this squad out pick your best 19 players and stick with them when all fit

For me Bakwa and Kalimuendo and possibly Hutchinson and McAtee look like 130million pounds very badly spent by Edu lightweight injury prone and simply not premiership standard

My 19 players Sels Victor Sangare Aina Williams Murrilo Savone Jair Milenkovic Morato
Abbott Anderson MGW Ndoye Hudson Odoi Wood Jesus Dominguez Yates.

07 Nov 2025 05:54:50
Half of them aren't fit or haven't been picked for the European venture and some just aren't good enough it is what it is we are in a big fight and if we get to the next round of games in Europe and creep up the league everything will be forgotten that's football so just embrace it.

06 Nov 2025 20:57:15
Edu edu edu oh what on earth have you done? McAtee, Kalimuendo and others, complete and utter garbage. Hundreds of millions wasted, players unfit and a perfectly decent manager in Nuno driven out. If we escape relegation this season it will be nothing short of a miracle.

06 Nov 2025 22:11:01
Pedro Ferreria is head of recruitment at forest and has been since 2024 after we poached him from benfica where he served 17 years doing the same
Some need to look at the real facts
But then they can't be bothered to know what is the real set up, just want to play the blame game and cus edu was so bad bringing most the current arsenal squad to arsenal, that he was always going to be a liability at forest? 🤣🤣🤣🤣.

07 Nov 2025 05:29:01
You need to get your facts straight dtp edu as final say on who comes and goes out of the club. my dad is a massive arsenal fan and was glad when he left arsenal. and as you can see arsenal players bought in since edu left have made the team a lot better fact.

you just like blaming the managers you don't lie but everyone can see the new players edu bought in have made the squad worse there shite fact 🤣🤣🤣🤣.

06 Nov 2025 20:03:25
Who has signed these players?

06 Nov 2025 20:44:21
Nuno knew we weren't ready.

Even Mr Magoo could see we weren't.

06 Nov 2025 20:56:33
To me the real villian Is MGW, he's an England International with no control of a football and when opportunity arises misses 80% of his chances, that's not acceptable
That penalty sums him up tbh, no power and not placed anywhere near the corner and an easy save
End of the day Yates and Dominguez where unlucky, MGW was wasteful
Should have won it easily, sturm no threat at all other than the offside.

06 Nov 2025 21:05:18
Nuno spoke up nobody backed him even most of the fans turned on the man that got us into Europe with a no hope squad sorry to say but tough. you reap what you sow championship football here we come and don't moan about it notice the ones that do ain't on here much exciting football you wanted 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 edu I don't care what you say his destroying this club fact long live nuno.

06 Nov 2025 21:31:34
Yes Fred we definitely overachieved,
We lost the most valuable player selling elanga
Now that was nothing to do with edu, that was a decision made on profit
The whole side has suffered from that decision, I feel sorry for the strikers now whoever that leads the line as there's no pace in the build up and the end ball is usually appalling
We've signed bakwa, Hutchinson, ndoye but none have pace to frighten and play to many balls backwards instead of taking a man on
SELS abd MGW having a bad season and we are missing Aina bombing forward, murillo and milenkovic not quite so dominant either
The cracks where already there from beginning of April with those players, the clean sheets went and the goals dried up
We had to buy to compete in Europe, but we sold our best player in elanga
My judgment is out on most the new players as not seen enough
You see what happens when players don't play games and are then given a start, cramp and injuries
There's far more to it than just having a go at recruitment
Nuno had an agenda with marinakis before the season started, we didn't know what Europe league we would play in till the last minute either, so all last minute signings
Now some just see it simple as edu?
He's not in charge of recruitment for starters
So easy to blame one guy, when actually there are many to blame, elanga sale was our downfall.

06 Nov 2025 21:58:16
Here's one for you Ff.
Newcastle would jump at the chance to get Anderson back and Elanga hasn't lived up to expectation there.
Would you do a swap with them to get Elanga back?

06 Nov 2025 22:14:32
Most valuable player tell that to the Newcastle fans 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 we ripped them off no assists no goals that's the difference between a good manager and a bad one knowing how to use and get the best out of players the only thing we have missed this season is a decent manager and you wanted him out have a great day at Derby next season I will be shopping for my gandaughter at forest shop wishing it was a premier league shirt I was buying for her.

06 Nov 2025 23:02:06
Elanga hasn't exactly done much at Newcastle.

07 Nov 2025 00:21:02
Ffs dtp when ya going to realise elanga didn't wanna stay? As for edu blah blah blah, it's the players who have let the whole club down. Shocking. Simples. Tell em no xmas leave to start with, livid.

07 Nov 2025 07:53:51
Exactly Bowie, why offer a £100M player for Elanga. Elanga wanted to go have a love in with his boyfriend at Newcastle. He DID NOT WANT TO BE AT FOREST!

It's irrelevant whether he is a good player. Ta for the good times and the transfer fee. Too good for us are you? See ya then!

07 Nov 2025 09:01:09
All day long Fred or try and get Murphy as part of a deal, only Williams us taking a man on atm.

07 Nov 2025 09:04:37
Elanga was under contract and never asked for a transfer
Forest sold him because they thought the offer was too good to turn down and made no attempt to keep him.

06 Nov 2025 20:02:32
Recruitment team has had a shocker. No way on earth we have spent £200 million. How? Where? Also, half the players aren't fit. We've come a long way and Ill always appreciate that. But things have fallen off a cliff.

Players are unfit. 40 million winger not in the squad. £200 million wasted and we have youngsters on the bench. Someone at Forest has some serious questions to answer.

06 Nov 2025 21:05:03
Yea Marinakas, he makes all the decisions. Anybody who can find posatives out of that debacle needs to give there head a wobble.

06 Nov 2025 19:40:36
We have a collection of players who just cannot score a goal. Kalimuendo, McAtee useless. No killer instinct in the team. Sturm Graz were Championship class.

06 Nov 2025 20:02:12
You have edu to thank for that nuno did say. just saying.

06 Nov 2025 20:18:39
They haven't played mate, joined late had no pre season and getting cramp after 60 mins, reading between the lines some major issues with ange n training methods.

Clean sheet and a point away, albeit against very poor opposition

It's Sunday that counts.

06 Nov 2025 20:48:35
Hang on nuno was in charge before ange when it cones to lack of fitness.

06 Nov 2025 21:09:39
Nuno asked for the players he wanted at the start of the window not shite unfit players at the end of it. the result is all there for you to see there is no argument unfit shite signings 🤣🤣😅 yet you would want to blame dyche for stepping in and trying to make a team out of a few decent players.

06 Nov 2025 21:54:28
Skeggs your not listening
WE COULD NOT BUY ANY PLAYERS TILL AT LEAST FIRST OF JULY and then we had to know what league in Europe first
EDU, EDU, EDU with you pal and Nuno has done nothing wrong in all of this?
Of course he has.

06 Nov 2025 22:57:45
Yes players like adama traore skeggs who has a very poor strike and assist rate and at 30 years old no sell on price
Do you think nuno will be able to tell sullivan and Brady who they will sign?

06 Nov 2025 19:20:29
Kalimuendo a total waste of space. Thanks Edu for your brilliant recruitment!

06 Nov 2025 18:43:40
Saving players for Sundays encounter with Dirty Leeds. A VAR in our favour, then a penalty to the Reds for handball! MGW runs up, tickles the ball with a feather and pen saved!

06 Nov 2025 18:18:46
I am stuck in A/ E can anyone tell me how John is playing in goal and McAtee etc.

06 Nov 2025 18:38:54
Gibbs white playing shite and missed a pen nuno.

06 Nov 2025 18:39:50
He should be with you, Johns an accident waiting to happen 🤦.

06 Nov 2025 18:46:12
John looks awful.

06 Nov 2025 18:50:45
The goal keeper is probably the worst keeper we’ve ever had. There is no way he’s a footballer. Mcatee-completely anonymous.

06 Nov 2025 18:56:32
He can't catch a ball lol.

06 Nov 2025 19:02:43
We should have been 4 - 0 up in the first half mate. McAtee useless - missed an easy chance first half. Kalimuendo has done nothing - hardly touched the ball. Yates, Gibbs-White, Williams doing alright but MGW missed a penalty would you believe!

06 Nov 2025 19:14:26
Hope you’re ok nuno, not good re john and mcatee.

06 Nov 2025 19:20:44
Embarrassing the lot of em nono.

06 Nov 2025 19:42:51
Hope you are ok Nononuno? It’s just finished nil nil. Dire second half, Dominquez shot hit post in last few minutes, MGW had a penalty saved.
You didn't miss much but Dyche had 11 players unavailable.

Young Zach Abbott came on late and did well in a cameo, Yates and the back 4 solid, not much up top but an away point.
Good luck at A and E and take care mate! 🤞🤞.

06 Nov 2025 20:08:51
What about Carlos Miguel 2 star?
Surely he was worse lol.

06 Nov 2025 20:10:12
Dyche put Abbott on but should have introduced Costello too and completed the farce.

06 Nov 2025 20:21:40
MGW had a penalty saved? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
It was a terrible penalty and his overall game was appalling, flicks here there and everywhere barring to a team mate, he has no control mist the time and can't stand up half the time either
Time to get rid in January.

06 Nov 2025 20:29:58
Thank you it’s my son who will need emergency surgery.

06 Nov 2025 20:34:05
By the way, Victor looked well dodgy. He had 2 shots to save and pushed them both back out into the danger area. I hope Sels doesn’t get injured or a red card ……….

06 Nov 2025 20:41:45
Dominquez and Williams played with energy, especially first half, MGW not at the races at all. Our centre forward got very little service but looked out of his depth anyway. I’ll be glad when Woodys back, Jesus was suspended.
Sturm were very well organised and physical but mid Championship at best.


Dyche had 5 Academy lads on the bench plus Zach Abbott. A great experience for them, but shows we were short of numbers.
The good news is no apparent injuries, Anderson, Sels, rested for Sunday, Murillo only had around 15 mins. A game we would almost definitely have lost under Ange.

06 Nov 2025 21:01:25
Sels is playing same punching balls back into play or his own net, or haven't you noticed?

06 Nov 2025 22:08:32
So, DTP, bearing in mind Gunn is injured, who do you think is No 1 goalkeeper?

06 Nov 2025 17:49:52
Just do your best, show the fans you care for the badge, all I'm asking.

06 Nov 2025 18:51:41
Effort cannot be faulted in my opinion but very little skill and talent in this team.

06 Nov 2025 17:07:03
Interesting forced selection team for tonight's game, bench looks weak but think we have enough experience to get a win, and with John and Williams in the team let's make some sweet music Tonight. UREDS.

06 Nov 2025 18:44:22
Be lucky to get a tune out of John!
🪉🪉🎼🎼.

06 Nov 2025 21:34:38
He had nothing to carlo barring an offside and one save.
