Nottingham Forest banter 2

15 Dec 2025 20:44:50
We have to build on the good performance yesterday, maintain the intensity, keep Murrillo at peak fitness and beat Fulham on Monday night and get out of the bottom eight. COYR.

15 Dec 2025 21:26:04
Other than the Everton performance, I think we've played OK.

15 Dec 2025 17:58:28
What a feeling yesterday, 3-0 up and Douglas Luiz trots on the 85 minute. I love bring a Forest fan!

15 Dec 2025 20:54:15
It definitely beats morato coming on.

15 Dec 2025 12:58:00
Really pleased for Dyche and his coaching team it’s great to see the passion displayed on the touch line and the blood and thunder on the pitch!

Tremendous effort and performance yesterday and some great football played

Big shout out to 5 players in particular Hudson Odoi Williams Murrilo Hutchinson and man of the match Sangare we bossed that midfield and was superb all afternoon

Shame we are losing him to the AFCON because on this form he is one of the best CM in the premier league.

17 Dec 2025 23:38:00
We've seen the worst of him, so can't complain he's representing his country when we've seen the best of him?

15 Dec 2025 12:20:14
Again I ask…… are you not entertained gentlemen ( I use the non exclusively as Joan has sadly but understandably shied away from the toxic masculinity on here from some posters)?
I can’t add much more to the excellent post match comments from several contributors particularly Rutland, Cyprus and Gazzibaldi.
If this is so called Dyche ball bring it on. Some lovely, zippy football yesterday, gorgeous to watch. Mixed with the pragmatic stuff, discipline, organisation, defensive solidity and workrate from everyone in the red shirts.


Good to see Luiz getting some minutes, particularly as our midfield options have become limited with the absences now of Sanghere, Dominquez and Yates. Likewise, Savona is doing well playing out of position. Again, good news that Aina is taking the first steps back on the field with the Academy and I look forward to seeing Cubiano.
“ If Dyche ball be the food of love, play on;
Give me excess of it, that, surfeiting,
The appetite may sicken, and so die. ”
Do you agree comrades?

I haven't been on here for a good while it was getting repetitive same people having the same arguments. I was I will admit not Sangare's biggest fan he showed flashes of his capability at the end of last season but nothing consistent. This season he has become far better than I imagined not hesitant or negative yesterday was the perfect match from him he was actually rated at 10 out of ten in the review I read (Sarah Clapson) he stated the goal scoring by a very high press for a holding midfielder.

Superb in his defensive duties and topped off with a glorious finish. Hope he doesn't get injured at afcon but good luck to him there. Good tho Douglas Luiz back now Yates is also not available. He has looked good when he's been fit.

15 Dec 2025 17:48:11
It’s about time some people drop their egos and get behind the team no matter who the manager is.

15 Dec 2025 21:00:09
Spot on pineapple and we did at the city ground yesterday
Jyst need to find some decent songs for dyche
Difficult one to ryme anything with, but I'm sure the fans will come up with something
He deserves some accolades for taking us out the relegation spots and moving us up the league in Europe.

15 Dec 2025 10:42:24
Not posted much recently but read on here everyday. I've re-registered on my phone so I'll be posting a bit more again. Yesterday was more about how well we played rather than how poor spurs were IMHO. I can honestly say that to a man every Forest player was outstanding. The only player that was below par was MGW but he never gave up and gave it everything. I think he is carrying an injury. A special mention to Sangare, he is blossoming under Dyche. His support to the front line is as good as his protection of the back.

He looks fitter and a lot happier. And for all the work on the ball Anderson is majestic off it.
We have a player in Jesus and the goals will come his hold up play and vision only complement his tireless work rate. I've always admired Sean Dyche, met him when he was a player. The fact he has two attack minded lieutenants in forest legends woan and stone has without doubt changed the mindset of the midfield. But in truth is there a better back 4 in this league?

15 Dec 2025 13:07:35
We have "A friend in Jesus " too mate!
🤭🤭🤭.

15 Dec 2025 15:09:05
Yes, Rogie, I think he worked his sandals off yesterday mate…. 😂😂.

15 Dec 2025 21:08:48
At times I thought the Ref was trying to "Robe"
us!
🤣🤣🤣.

15 Dec 2025 10:40:26
One of the most pleasing things for me to come out of yesterday's game is the fact that Sean Dyche can get his team to play very good attacking football.
I've always liked the bloke, going back to his days as an uncompromising centre half with Chesterfield.


He's always been perceived as a negative, long ball, relegation scrapper but yesterday's performance and the build up over the time he's been here, proves he has much more to offer.
Keep it going boss, we're right behind you.

15 Dec 2025 12:03:38
It was a great watch gazzi and we kept going right till the end, constantly pressing any spurs player in possession and mainly winning possession back,
Few weeks ago the players weren't fit enough to be able to do that, so huge credit to dyche for that aswell.

15 Dec 2025 14:36:29
And that's why trying to get players in at the start of a transfer window in the summer is massive get them playing together and get there fitness up. you know instead of buying 5 or 6 players at the end of the window you see why that makes sense now can't you. just saying 😁.

15 Dec 2025 15:10:06
All good posts Gazzi, DTP and Skegs! 👍👍👏🏻👏🏻.

15 Dec 2025 21:03:54
We couldn't though skeggs
We had to wait till July 1st because of psr and then we had the problem of not knowing what Europe competion we where going to be in, in terms of attracting players.

15 Dec 2025 07:39:25
{Ed's Note - Ed001 has posted a new article entitled, Liverpool v Brighton & Hove Albion - A Quick Liverpool Perspective

15 Dec 2025 09:58:48
What new defenders would you be looking at. Ed and don't you dare say murillo you couldn't afford him 🤣.

{Ed001's Note - he would be top of the list. Obviously Guehi. Schlotterbeck maybe or Bastoni.}

15 Dec 2025 10:10:17
Step away lol. still think van dijik is one of your best defenders but I guess the age thing is catching up.

{Ed001's Note - playing alongside Konate is destroying him.}

15 Dec 2025 13:09:00
Murrillo's "Bang Average " mate.
🤣🤣🤣.

15 Dec 2025 16:32:17
Good post Ed. Certainly Dyche has made a big fuss about the fitness levels at Forest in a way Slot perhaps hasn’t. Perhaps Slot has relied to much on the sheer talent available either at Liverpool or wanting to sign for them in January.
I think the old saying probably applies…. genius is 1 % inspiration and 99% perspiration!

{Ed001's Note - he listens too much to the fitness and conditioning coaches. Klopp used to fight with them all the time as they claimed he worked the players too hard and was burning them out, but Liverpool were the fittest team in the league and won some games by virtue of being able to outwork the opposition. However, Slot has taken the advice and lessened the training, supposedly to reduce injuries and fatigue, but has found out what I have always said - train less and get injured more. The players are out on their feet long before the match finishes now, it is stupid.}

16 Dec 2025 16:51:41
I'm with clough, get em pissed 🫢.

15 Dec 2025 05:21:43
Morning all just reading through the comments and one posters name stands out as divisive and troublesome. Even after a good win can’t help but poke and troll people. Probably going to give it a rest for a while posting. Still buzzing from yesterday though great win for the lads. COYR.

15 Dec 2025 09:11:38
Actually watched highlights we looked really good they were all good to watch but sangare and hudson looked great I'm hoping we can put performances in like that every game. and I'm hoping sangare proves me wrong about him. hope you had a few pints for me yesterday frog.

15 Dec 2025 09:48:32
Red frog, there is more than just one troublesome ( I would call it childish ) person on here.
There are 4 or 5 who are as bad as each other.
And yes, it was a great win. Brilliant performance. Stand out for me was Jesus.

15 Dec 2025 10:10:57
Morning baldy 😁.

15 Dec 2025 10:32:47
Good morning Stellaboy. I have no idea why you said that, but thank you anyway.

15 Dec 2025 01:43:48
Loved that performance, defensively just very solid, admittedly Spurs offered nothing but we didn’t allow them into the game. Stand outs for me were Jesus who did some great link up play and young Hutchinson who worked his socks off. Clean sheet for the defence and 3 goals, should have been 5 or 6.

Will be a tougher assignment at Fulham but if they play with that spirit we should get something from that game too. Brennan Johnson will be off in the January window, if he can’t get selected in that rabble of a team there is no point in staying.

15 Dec 2025 11:17:49
I think it's been disengenrous of the pundits concentrating on Frank's problems! and not saying how well Forest played, that was some team performance from what I heard, and the highlights I've seen 👍. Although Sangare will be a big loss for us now, Fulham have three players going to AFCON, two first team players, if we play like yesterday we will win.

15 Dec 2025 11:53:25
Same when we beat Liverpool, it wasn't about how well we played, just how poor Liverpool where
It's hard to get praise from pundits when you beat the big Boys.

15 Dec 2025 13:10:06
Absolutely right mate.

14 Dec 2025 23:08:22
What's your view on Thomas Frank at Tottenham ED001? Ourselves onto our 3rd manager this season. I don't know what it is with some managers. For me he was brilliant at Brentford. Only played himself as an amateur in midfield. I just think some managers, especially moving to London lose all respect from players.

Another manager I had a lot of respect for was David moyes, couldn't believe he let fergy talk him into the utd job. Know he's back now but legend at everton. I never shy from my respect of some managers/ players just be stubborn ignorance not to. i just think and understand some managers over rate themselves.

{Ed001's Note - I am not a big fan of Frank, his style of football is pure shithousery and you simply can't do that at Spuds, the fans won't stand for it. He has no idea how to play actual football. Very limited imo.}

15 Dec 2025 00:37:46
Good reply 🤣🤣.

{Ed001's Note - thanks. He will be lucky to finish the season there.}

14 Dec 2025 22:29:49
The common thread on this site is we all support Forest. A few years back we were dreaming of the premiership. It started with SC and I don’t think any manager before or after will create the atmosphere he was able to. Nuno carried onto lead us to amazing heights but fell away at the end. AP continued a downward spiral.
SD has turned it around, no one can deny. He has convinced the players to believe in themselves Today we saw a superb performance from every member of our team.

One of the best matches Forest have played for a long while. To single out one or two players is not fair.
SD has yet to win over all the supporters but I think a positive atmosphere is returning to the CG. There will be further ups and downs I am sure along the way. It is early days but my hope at the end of this season
Big M will reward SD and his team with a long contract.

14 Dec 2025 22:33:25
Good post nuno, have I mentioned i was the 1st to say we should get dyvhe? 🤣🤣 OK ok. Nah but good post bud.

14 Dec 2025 22:43:22
It was a brilliant performance and a masterclass of tactics nuno, every player played their part as a team and got their reward.

14 Dec 2025 22:24:59
Throughly enjoyed that.
U reds.
