Nottingham Forest banter 5

19 Oct 2025 10:19:21
Watching the game yesterday in my opinion the zone all marking is costing us goals go back to man marking your man stop him getting the ball, they train every day you see it on FB they are scoring from all over the place yet in a match can not hit a bard door, if you train every day you should be able to kick the ball with both feet why do commontators keep saying it was on his wrong foot.

19 Oct 2025 13:19:12
Exactly this. I’ve posted several times about how one-footed our players are. No better example than CHO.

19 Oct 2025 10:16:22
For me it’s either Dyche or relegation, can’t see any of the other contenders stopping the defence leaking so badly.
It might be dull but it’s better than the alternative.

19 Oct 2025 11:03:12
'Premier Manager gets sacked'.! ; HEADLINE NEWS! Do you think if it was someone like say Potter that there would be all this coverage? Don't kid yourselves that Forest are big news now, it is him they want. (Next Traitors I.

19 Oct 2025 11:47:34
Bit early for relegation fears. there are good managers around or ones we can buy off. We don't want another panic choice. Let's see who can bring them together not just defensively, but attack-wise too.

19 Oct 2025 16:21:19
Have you looked at the table?

20 Oct 2025 00:17:51
Imagine a team bottom of Championship and still getting promoted, the right appointment could change everything.

19 Oct 2025 07:39:24
{Ed's Note - Thestigno1 has posted a new article entitled, Where Are Glasgow Rangers Heading?

19 Oct 2025 02:53:14
Whist watching the F1 highlights thought I'd check the odds

Sean Dyche. 7/ 10 · Roberto Mancini. 2/ 1 · Luciano Spalletti. 5/ 1 · Rafa Benitez. 18/ 1.

19 Oct 2025 06:57:38
Just to add to that list.
Harry Potter 20/ 1.
David Blane 22/ 1.
Yuri Geller 33/ 1.
Dynamo 100/ 1.
Merlin 2500/ 2.
Need a magician to cast a spell to get us in the right track again!

19 Oct 2025 07:10:01
Iraola or simular is required but Marinakas will make a right cods ear of it yet again. Shopping at Temu.
In rejects corner.

19 Oct 2025 08:01:12
Dyche will get the job. Then Mancini will get the job after the next international break.

19 Oct 2025 08:17:51
Didn't know they could drive aswell RedRobinHood!
???.

19 Oct 2025 09:11:01
Liz Truss would have lasted longer.

19 Oct 2025 10:22:33
Rogie ???.

19 Oct 2025 11:40:56
Mr m as been on phone to me. told him crate of Stella and a kebab every night and deals done. I couldn't be any worse than dyche ?.

18 Oct 2025 23:41:11
At the end of the day it's night!
Night night Ange!
I watched his pre match interview on Friday, I couldn't believe what I was hearing! Celtic, Spurs, but what about your current job, in Nottingham?
When I saw the team sheet I realised he wanted to be sacked, Ange realised he made a mistake coming and wanted OUT! He got his wish, and gave Chelsea 3 points!
Good riddance Ange! Fly Emerates back to Oz!

19 Oct 2025 01:07:17
But for poor finishing we we could have won that game.

Fine margins. It wasn't meant to be.

19 Oct 2025 17:17:11
Several games we had at least three times as many chances as the other team. The players share as much blame as the boss.

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! "
???
???.

19 Oct 2025 15:53:11
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.

18 Oct 2025 21:24:29
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.
