Nottingham Forest banter 3

No embarrassment losing to a team who wanted it more, have good style, are well run and have a game plan.
We on the other hand have none of the above.
Apart with the introduction of Taiwo, anyone notice how we looked better with every substitution of pre Edu players for Edu players?
McAtee Morato Zinchenko Taiwo need new homes quickly, they aren’t even championship standard.


Edu out now.

10 Jan 2026 08:49:38
Console yourself with that all you want frog - it’s embarrassing. I agree with what else you have said.

10 Jan 2026 00:51:10
So pleased I have bad health, which prevents me from doing what I love. I was a goal keeper in the miner leagues, loved it, WITH NO PAY! Sadly, being paid thousands a week is no incentive to play football.

I shall be pleased to welcome the turf over my grave, so that my Forest support is laid to rest! Who the fook recruited these 3 legged players into the dressing room?
Rest in Peace the Forest Academy!

09 Jan 2026 23:05:51
Get on the phone to Newcastle
You can have Anderson, we want elanga and Murphy.

10 Jan 2026 00:59:35
Really.

Along with Murrilo, Anderson is our best player. Who has hardly had a break in 18 months. U21's and now full international.

Form is temporary. Class is permanent.

10 Jan 2026 01:25:38
It's stability we're after. Not players.

10 Jan 2026 04:08:03
There's no words, no plan and no formula to defend the rubbish we are having to endure week in week out this season. Scrape one win, lose four Dyche ball. Skegs warned us on day one due to his Arsenal fans family members what Edu would do to our club and he's bang on. 200 million down the gurgler. Marinakas puts his hand on his pocket, true, but he's a total nutter, Can't run a club.

Bournemouth and Brighton is how you run a club on limited ffp resources.
Cup semi finalists/ Euro qualifiers to relegation strugglers in one move because Big M didn't like Nuno's substitution. Last night wasn't a giant killing it was an expected result. The favourites won. How anyone can't see it and defend Dyche is behind belief. Enjoy the rest of your season lads cause we are going nowhere.

10 Jan 2026 07:27:16
Is this the same Brighton we smashed 7-0 mate?

10 Jan 2026 09:10:42
No. we had Nuno and not Dyche a raptor!

09 Jan 2026 22:43:06
So pleased we are out of the FA (no sky coverage) Cup, an institutional competition for football fans. It's ruined by TV rights, no live draw, limited normal TV! Then the so called elite teams play the reserves, so that players can be rested!
Concentrate on staying in the Premier League, and win the Europa Cup!

PS Mr Bean has made his intention of going for the Forest managers job!

10 Jan 2026 00:56:30
Totally agree with that one redtree, we might stay in the premier League now, we didn't need another cup run this season and the extra games it would bring. I wish some on this site would stop banging on about getting rid of dyche, ITS not his team! He hasn't brought in any of the players, his remit is to keep us up and at the end of the season he will gone.

he can only work with what he has END OF.

10 Jan 2026 01:07:08
PS dyche isn't a wizard with a magic wand!

10 Jan 2026 07:34:30
No he's not Red vale, he's a clown with big red nose.

10 Jan 2026 08:27:34
That probably only proves the point Rogie, last season was the only time we’ve come closer to stability, established structure across the club beginning to pay dividends until we decided to throw all that away. For what?

Brighton have survived in the prem and become established, they sell, they buy they never rarely get into any trouble. Whether you meant to or not, I reckon it only supports the folly that larry has highlighted in his post.

10 Jan 2026 08:52:20
This is the FA cup we all love the lower club defeating the Premier club accept it its a shame its us. The FA should be ashamed they sold out to TNT etc, that saying Forest have no excuse of too many games now so I EXPECT us to move up the league with out the domestic Cup holding us back.

Definitely need to off load Morato, Mcatee and Awonyi plus send Zinchenko back to arsenal play Abbott instead Luiz is off his game also. Use the transfer time to bring in a couple of loans including a Striker.

09 Jan 2026 22:33:59
Well done Wrexham, hats off to a great effort by them.

This is our net spend below (league position in brackets) in the 4 seasons since we got promoted. Think it puts us in top 6 in Prem over that time.

25/ 26: £-97.28m
24/ 25: £-15.58m (7th)
23/ 24: £-42.28m (17th)
22/ 23: £-167.48m (16th)

For sure we have signed some good players in that - MGW, CHO, Murillo, EA, Wood, some others - but so much has been wasted.

I know there are a lot of people who say ‘be careful for what you wish for’ as it can worse (Fawaz, Scholar, others we remember). But the simple fact is the club is not seemingly well run. We are also a club people now seem to almost laugh at.

Is it any surprise that many of the apparently worst run clubs, end up getting the weakest results? Wolves, West Ham, Us, Spurs, MUtd.

I’m just so fed up with it. It’s all such a waste of an opportunity. We have all waited so long. What is our plan?

We may well stay up - just - but we are totally reliant on about 5/ 6 quality players + we have an owner who is never likely to stop moving on coaches, hiring and firing, maybe even marching onto the pitch again. It doesn’t help.

It’s such madness. Why oh why can we not just have a plan, some stable, senior club management, and a constant approach.

Don’t even get me started on the bulk of the summer signings.

Am I enamoured by Dyche - no I am not.

But nothing will really change, until our whole approach changes. Everything else is noise.

09 Jan 2026 23:36:09
Good post pal
It's annoying isn't it
But we were never ready for Europe
List the two most influential players from last season and their goals and assists
Elanga and wood
The players bought in just don't get the pace of the premier, bakwa ndoye?
They both want to. play in their own time
Thise two will never hack the premier with that attitude
Dyche hasn't a clue tactically and is by passing the best midfielders we have had
Jesus has to fight a losing battle every game with those tactics
Premier survival is all that matters now
We'll be out of Europe soon and Dyche fate will be sealed along with stone and woan and cheerio ho to them
Re group in the summer with a new coach who won't be English.

10 Jan 2026 03:52:02
Good measured post Agen.

09 Jan 2026 22:19:50
Were you really looking forward to that DTP? I'm looking forward to a complete clear-cut of sub-standard rubbish before our next game. Considering a list of the players who have to go: McAtee and Morata top of the list for tomorrow morning. Without Gibbs-White and Callum Hudson-Odoi we have nothing to offer. Hopefully Aina up to speed very soon.

09 Jan 2026 23:22:14
I was to see our second team and evaluate them
They failed miserably just as they did last season at exeter and the rest
Thought mcmanaman summed it up perfectly rhr
Bakwa
Morato
Ndoye
Zinchenko
Mcatee
Awoniyi?
All need moving on they have had chances but blow it every time
Dyche needs moving on aswell as he's run our only striker jesus into the ground.

09 Jan 2026 22:16:09
Gingersaurus OUT!

Wake up. Anyone who thinks he should be Forest manager should admit they know nothing about football.

09 Jan 2026 22:19:34
Exactly he will be gone this week with edu thank gid.

09 Jan 2026 22:24:56
Doubt anyone disagrees with you cyclist
I said i didn't want him anywhere where near the club before he got the gig
But he's here and marinakis won't sack him till end of the season
Tbh for the fan with no allegiance it was a proper good fa cup tie with more twists and turns than the great robbo had.

09 Jan 2026 23:37:46
A good fight back but should we have had to in the first place, No. Some players are given a perfect opportunity to impress, and don't grasp the chance, being subbed at half time isn't good enough for Premier League players against a championship team!, time to regroup, two big games coming up.

09 Jan 2026 22:14:28
PATHETIC.

09 Jan 2026 21:30:51
This is a brilliant cup tie, no VAR free flowing football just enjoy it.

09 Jan 2026 22:05:18
Brilliant if your a underdog oh yes we are ??.

09 Jan 2026 22:05:27
It is now!
Subs made all the difference.

09 Jan 2026 22:14:35
Dyche out edu out in morning night sweet dreams or nightmares whatever.

09 Jan 2026 22:21:58
Bang on Skegs, they should never have had a sniff, once again from dire from cretaceous Dyche, first half lump it to five attacking players with an average height of 5'5. Absolutely disgusting performance. If it wasn't for CHO and co on the bench it should have been over before extra time.

Alarm bells should be ringing, progress in Europe with this clown at helm is in a no go. If we stay up it'll be a bonus. Disenchanted is an understatement. ?.

09 Jan 2026 22:25:49
Well it is way past your bedtime ???.

09 Jan 2026 22:35:16
Not going to hapoen though skeggs no matter what we want
You'll have to wait till end of the season with the rest of us cus he won't be in charge next season, but we won't sack him till then
He's run jesus into the ground now and awoniyi is so far off it, its unreal
To me the players need to start playing it to feet and ignore dyche instructions of the missile of hope.

09 Jan 2026 23:27:26
Kalimuendo came on as sub for Frankfurt and laid on a great pass for an assist, on the ground, what one coach misses another can see!.

09 Jan 2026 23:30:16
DTP you are about as funny and entertaining as dyches interviews, drab and lacking personality. ?.

10 Jan 2026 03:36:41
Many readers will likely relate to the challenges faced by the poor manager and poor transfer decisions described in the post's
Yes, the second half was interesting. However, it was clear that Wrexham showed little respect for our premier league status and were not afraid to face us head-on.
As someone noted earlier, relying heavily on a small number of key players highlights the need for improvement in player acquisition and club management.


Wrexham thoroughly deserved that win and. is proof how a club should be run.
It wouldn't surprise me in a few year's they will in the premier league and flying.
It's highly unlikely to see Deadpool leading the pitch or engaging with the coach of his club. Marinakis and Edu the Ego need to change the club's approach significantly if they wish to avoid swift downfall.

09 Jan 2026 21:29:52
Shameful defending, dire tactics, one saving grace is the subs we had on the bench. The starting line-up was worth more than their entire club, ground and facilities. ?.

09 Jan 2026 21:26:51
That’s typical. I switch it off and CHO scores 2! Lol.

09 Jan 2026 21:22:41
Forget Strand Larsen Hudson Odoi is a number 9 what a goal.

09 Jan 2026 23:15:20
Put it this way munmad he's the best winger we have by a country mile
Got to stop the hoof ball and play out from the back and through midfield and keep possession
What dyche, wian and stone try is something out the arc
It makes a strikers job impossible and bypasses midfield so lacks any creative football and jyst puts the defence under constant pressure.

09 Jan 2026 21:07:41
Garbage. I’m done. Off it goes.

09 Jan 2026 21:27:07
?‍??

??.

09 Jan 2026 21:28:02
Shame on you!
????
New we'd equalise!
???.

09 Jan 2026 21:29:16
Normal service resumed.

09 Jan 2026 21:46:42
Lololol.
