Nottingham Forest banter 5

18 Oct 2025 22:40:28
Well EDS obviously ya both known me years I've been on. Am I banned now or what?

{Ed033's Note - You should obviously know that your recent posts have been too derogotory towards other posters to be let on the site.

18 Oct 2025 23:05:05
Let him back ed.
Bowie gets very emotional at time's and wears his heart on his sleeve.
I'm sure he can bite his tongue going forward or suck a lemon.

18 Oct 2025 23:40:39
'Mack is back in Town! '
? ? ?.

19 Oct 2025 06:56:12
Free Bowie!

19 Oct 2025 08:21:12
"I'm Bowiecus! "
???
???.

Derogatory is not insulting, illegal, slanderous or likely to cause extreme offence. It may be disrespectful, thus more like a yellow card and if repeated a Red one. Let the game flow Eds have him back on clear warning?

19 Oct 2025 17:18:46
Derogatory can be insulting. It's a form of disrespect.

18 Oct 2025 21:45:22
Walking down to the ground before the game and visiting fanzone behind the Cloughie stand did any body else feel the general apathy around the City Ground.
Usually chants of come on you reds was ringing out.
Nothing very little atmosphere any where.
The excitement around the place had been cut off.
Thankfully Marinakas has seen sense before it was to late. All this talk of giving him time. How much more could our great supporters take after that second half performance.
Let's hope Marinakas gets it right this time but as we all know it's going to be a bit of a lottery fixing the mess Marinaskas and Edu have created. Heres hoping.

Get ready for some good old fashioned 4-4-2

SD's team v Porto

Sels

Williams
Milenkovic
Murrilo
Zinchenko

Ndoye
Luis
Anderson
MGW

Jesus
Wood.

18 Oct 2025 22:51:52
That team would get annihilated v Porto.

Don't think Zinchenko would get a sniff, under Dyche. And he would definitely find a place for Sangare who played well today btw.

19 Oct 2025 10:22:32
Zinchenko would probably be a good option in midfield.

19 Oct 2025 11:53:18
Zinchenko loses the ball, can't tackle or get back and would be destroyed in midfield. To make us stable I would bring in Yates and have CHO in instead of Wood. Jesus much more likely to score than Wood or Awoniyi. We are still not using Abbott at all and we could.

19 Oct 2025 12:44:41
Zinchenko played midfield in a side that won the Prem Title.

18 Oct 2025 21:12:37
Will Andy Reid be in charge of team selection on Thursday night in which case we might play with 2 out and out wingers for a change.

18 Oct 2025 22:54:06
Effing hope not.

He spent the last 2 years of his Forest playing contract getting pissed at Ragland Road. An absolute disgrace. And I told him to his face.

19 Oct 2025 06:29:34
Marinakis will be in charge of team selection on Thursday, MUNMAD.

19 Oct 2025 06:58:41
Or Edu the Devil ???.

19 Oct 2025 08:23:04
That rhymed Forest 67!
???.

19 Oct 2025 10:24:12
The Raglan Road is only about 5 mins walk from here. They used to sell Caffrey's for £2.50 a pint for years. Full of annoying students now.

18 Oct 2025 21:09:52
Sean Dyche will get us to a mid table finish imo 11th or 12th

Today we had127m worth of players not in the starting 11 or indeed on the subs bench namely Bakwa Hutchinson Kalimuendo and McAtee

AP was sacked for not selecting them and losing should Edu therefore be sacked for buying them.

18 Oct 2025 19:18:20
What a big mess and now Dyche ball to look forward to. My mates an Everton season ticket holder and says the football is as boring as watching paint dry. Wonderful. Probably be my last year as a season ticket holder. The club is a festering mess of toxicity.

18 Oct 2025 19:47:20
I want to be the first to say it. Dyche out! ?.

18 Oct 2025 20:00:16
Lee Carsley?

18 Oct 2025 21:26:32
Good call

We have a lot of young players he has worked with. Progressive.

Dyche, not for me. Though I like Ian Woan. You just know how it would pan out.

18 Oct 2025 18:50:32
Who has the cudos to get the players excited for the rest of the season Mancini for sure, Silva definitely. Dyche a massive step backwards.

18 Oct 2025 20:08:47
Learning : look out for managers wanting a final pay out. Like players in their mid 30’s. They were good managers but now ‘ has beens ‘.

Out.

19 Oct 2025 00:17:43
There the pundits opinions, I'd give Carrick a go.

18 Oct 2025 18:40:47
I have always thought a great deal of Nuno, both at Wolves and at Forest. Big M, whilst fantastic in terms of investment for our club, has always had the potential to be a loose-cannon who thinks with his heart and not his head. As time's gone by, it seems he is showing this character trait more and more often.

IMO Big M has, once again, shown that he is unable to delegate to his management staff. Nuno, on the other hand, seemed to want to be given more autonomy based on his successes last season. I think Nuno, as a person, values loyalty very highly and rightly so. IMO when he perceives the loyalty and hard work he has given is about to be ignored/ betrayed, then he speaks out. Hence, his public comments at both Wolves and Forest. I admire him for that.

And so - here we are again. My mate Carlo mentioned about the Forest self-destruct button being pressed again. That, unfortunately, sums things up perfectly.

18 Oct 2025 19:51:20
Mostly agree mate but after his 1st outburst nuno was warned, next interview he just went in even worse

Shame that the 2 egos couldn't reconcile it, but we end up here.

18 Oct 2025 20:08:25
I loved Nuno's tenure but I must say, his public comments at both clubs came after signing new improved contracts. Very good pay offs, coincidence or not.

18 Oct 2025 22:33:41
Nuno was no mug in any respect, that's for sure. I suppose I just feel that a compromise could/ should have been reached, mutual-ground found and a way forward for our club agreed upon between Nuno and Big M.

None of us will probably ever know why this didn't happen. I suspect, probably like many on here, it was down to Big M's ego and the feeling that he had been 'snubbed'.

I suppose the post-mortem doesn't really matter. Looking forward, I think we need a caretaker manager until the end of this season who is capable of steadying the Forest boat and instilling some passion back into the players/ club as a whole. The more I think about it - Psycho returning on a short-term contract would be perfect.

18 Oct 2025 18:18:37
We will never know, but about 130mil of players not even making the bench, what was that all about?!

Being honest, dyche will be a massive disappointment, I'd go n get silva now, bite the bullet n pay the 8mil compo.

18 Oct 2025 18:52:17
Dyche is believes to have said no.
Contract too short apparently.

18 Oct 2025 19:19:17
If Dyche is the answer, what is the question.

18 Oct 2025 19:30:07
Who, who is available will keep us up.

18 Oct 2025 19:31:58
Big Larry the question is.
Why has Marinakis pressed the self destruct button?

18 Oct 2025 20:01:21
Listening to Edu.

18 Oct 2025 17:40:37
I'm relieved the AP saga has ended, it was a mistake, thankfully not a long drawn out mistake. Whoever comes in will have a big opportunity to get a good group performing and at least one transfer window. In terms of form it's the collapse of our defence that has collapsed and at the heart of that is Sels, his form, has others have pointed out has been poor, rooted to his goal line. I personally rate Silva the Fulham boss, always seemed to get the better of Nuno, whoever it is good luck!

18 Oct 2025 18:14:31
Think once and if we get a manager, who can clearly get the message across to our players, in terms of what he wants, we'll be firing again.
I mean, we've only lost one player, albeit his was a big loss, we have the same team, so I see no reason, why we can't wreak havoc again like last season.
We should have been 2 or 3 up first half, just needs a bit of fine tuning, so not all doom and gloom, you ask me fellow Trickies.
FTID!

18 Oct 2025 18:31:24
Mentioned last season when Sels was getting all the plaudits for keeping a clean sheet, and no mention of Murillo, Toffolo and Aina clearing of the line on occasions!.

18 Oct 2025 18:47:57
Murrillo was too mate.

18 Oct 2025 16:58:35
Mr. M will never apologise so we move on. Hope he’s git good advisers about him because there are loads of crap managers out there. Temporary fix for a few games maybe using U21 staff but for heaven’s sake let’s get someone experienced and able to motivate a really good group of lads who want to do well. They were clapped off the pitch.
We need clear tactics leadership and the understanding supportive arm that Nuno gave his players bonding them together. I don’t rate many of the names bandied about so far so not sure who would be right at this point.

18 Oct 2025 17:36:56
Marinankis won't admit he's done wrong.
His greed for success has become the downside of what is happening now.
Yet again Forest are now the circus with all laughing at us.
Ange should of never been appointed and Nuno should of never been sacked.
I hope Edu and Marinakis take a deep breath and realise the potential damage caused?
Poor state at the moment and it feels only a miracle can turn things around.
Good luck to the next incoming coach as he will be expected to turn things around with limited time.
What are doing Marinankis? ???.

18 Oct 2025 17:40:26
No idea who they will get, or who would want to come. It needs someone that can see the weaknesses and work with the players and get the best out of them, Ange clearly couldn't we need someone to come in and steady the ship even if it is just to end of the season and ask the players wtf is going on! Got to start defending better been schoolboy stuff of late, the eason could be a write off before it's even got going at this rate.

18 Oct 2025 17:43:02
Roberto mancini.

18 Oct 2025 17:50:54
Henri manconi is a better prospect I think he would keep them in tune.

18 Oct 2025 18:21:27
That's not a bad shout skegs ?.

18 Oct 2025 18:27:58
Apparently Mancini has been approached?
Good fit? ?.

18 Oct 2025 18:54:15
Dunno about fit, but I've heard Mancini wants the Man United job.

18 Oct 2025 19:01:59
For a start he knows the league, he's well respected in the football world and should get the players on the same page. Has a decent trophy cabinet, much better than the other contenders and speaks English. ?.

18 Oct 2025 19:05:15
Also likes to play 443 solid defensive wise with quick passing and counter attacking. ?.

18 Oct 2025 19:36:21
Hmmmm!
Well Edu the Devil and Marinakis need to devise a plan and where they want Forest to go?
The next appointment will be aware of how Marinakis behaves and will be cautious whether to take the plunge.
A huge task awaits and another roll of the dice ?.

18 Oct 2025 16:51:35
Glad it’s over at last. I’m sure the players will feel relief too. Mr. m will never apologise.

18 Oct 2025 16:21:15
Didn’t E du well, good game good game, l, m in charge. ???.

18 Oct 2025 17:44:58
Edu the egotistical maniac and The Greek Father have undone everything at our Club!
Edu needs to go ASAP.
