Nottingham Forest banter 5

12 Dec 2025 23:32:05
Just a thought here
These foreign players come to the premier all young kids in their twenties mainly?
Not only do they have to perform to the highest standards, but also have to learn a new language and culture
Hats off to them tbh
Think we forget all that at times.

13 Dec 2025 08:50:03
A bit like when I first came on this site all those years ago Ff, I had to learn a new language. Gobbledegook!

13 Dec 2025 10:05:16
You took quick to it baldy that language. Must of already been in you already ?.

13 Dec 2025 12:04:48
Just the bloke I thought would reply to that.
Mr Gobbledegook himself. Good afternoon Stellaboy.

13 Dec 2025 12:24:25
? what me. afternoon baldy hope your wearing your Xmas hat to keep your fat head warm ?.

13 Dec 2025 13:40:43
Quite a few on here talk that old Nottm lingo Crap!
?.

13 Dec 2025 19:17:07
What did you make of edus strikers on Thursday carlo?
Must have been a hard pill to swallow ?.

13 Dec 2025 20:08:24
Kalibellendo shite Jesus getting better but you would expect them to score more against poor sides.

13 Dec 2025 20:46:02
Yes Brighton lost to one of your poor sides today skeggs, you know the one dyche picked a team and tactics to win 3 nil
Your mate at West ham lost to them at home ?????.

13 Dec 2025 20:55:13
I'm not bothered about my mate good old nuno that had maranakis pants down?? I'm bothered about the man in charge of us now and that's who you should be concentrating on instead of watching west ham in your spare time and posting on here about it to try and prove yourself right about him but guess what you can spend your last few years of trying but the younger fans will remember nuno for getting them back into Europe many years after your gone ???????????????????????.

13 Dec 2025 21:08:56
Glad your pleased nuno had the clubs pants down
Some supporter you are.

12 Dec 2025 23:28:55
This is team I would play v Spurs

433. Frank won't expect that.


Sels

Savona Mikenkovic Murrilo Williams

Anderson Luiz Domingues

Hutchinson Jesus CHO


A lot of energy in that team and form. Plus its something different.

Obviously I think he will go with MGW and probably Sangare as it is his last game before AFCON.

A lot of tslk about us lacking in the middle with Yates out and Sangare off. However with Luiz coming back and Domingues in it may work out well.
Plus Zinchenko captains his national team from midfield. Which is probably his proper position.

We have a big few weeks coming up. let's get off to a flyer on Sunday.

13 Dec 2025 14:17:05
Luiz and Dominquez is the way to go, only problem I'm on tenterhooks for Luiz to come though the game unscathed!, just want the Christmas and New Year period over and get players back, and get some momentum for the rest of the season.

12 Dec 2025 21:58:36
So ta bed,
As Churchill said, you cannot reason with a tiger (premier), when your head is in it's mouth, we need fight and heart. For me lot of frustration in camp and WFCG and away fans. Don't bury your heads. Stand up, be courageous and true.

12 Dec 2025 22:42:07
Grit and determination Bowie.

12 Dec 2025 20:33:39
Amazing pass from ngw to set up that goal, touch of genius in my opinion. We played a lacklustre club. But battled. Good to see jesus gaining confidence. Reds I highlighted the two laddies, as we just look horrible attacking the final 3rd, cho still one trick pony but only works if the keeper palms it onto anyone right side of field. Dunno what's happened to anderson, just looks like his heads at another club or something. Keeper done ok John.

Btw I still rate sels for his confidence and agility not so much his passing but for you lot want the lot for some reason. Williams still works for the badge, sangare hasn't actually been that bad lately. I just remember, (anderson brought a different dimension, ) missing piece of a jigsaw, we need that injection from a newbie in the window. because ok we won. But for me, far too predictable players with no firing power or thought. FTID.

12 Dec 2025 20:56:57
Good post Bowie
We have that player though Douglas Luiz
Superb passer and takes a mean set piece and shoots on target, we need to keep him fit and our season will take a massive step forward.

12 Dec 2025 21:35:45
It's a team bond we are lacking dtp. Not blaming dyche bye no means. Just players, now here's my thought on it, we made europe, it's for so many teams to shoot themselves in the foot. WHY, simples. Every player was promised a game.

When brought in etc. Hence no consistency as in knowing where the player going to be for simple pass etc etc etc. Instead you get, a lot of individuals wondering, why me. Just my opinion.

12 Dec 2025 22:38:12
3 coaches after 15 premier games is un heard of tbh Bowie, injuries we never had to contend with last season haven't helped either consistency is starting to happen though and players coming back from injury can only help
Cue skeggs and balloons? ??.

12 Dec 2025 23:20:37
So is the fitness coaching wrong dtp? This lot this season are just missing, every pass or shot on actual target. Jesus bless the laddie doesn't understand English ?.

13 Dec 2025 21:16:25
The fitness levels you can see have improved under dyche Bowie
Remember sturm grats game and kalleumundo and mcatee having to go off with cramp early second half.

12 Dec 2025 19:56:27
Winning 2 nil at the break, Aina with an assist for our second …. ??.

12 Dec 2025 20:10:08
While it's good news stokey, it will probably end up with him going to afcon now and after being out so long it would be nice for us to take it slowly with him and not push to hard?

12 Dec 2025 20:46:05
Whoops just read him and awoniyi not picked as forest insist they aren't fit.

12 Dec 2025 19:51:16
Aina is back tonight playing for the Academy against Millwall! ????????????.

12 Dec 2025 20:00:21
Great news. However the cynic would say just enough time to get fit for AFCON.

12 Dec 2025 20:15:38
Probably my favourite player stokey next to murrilo. Huge miss to our pressing, just brings something different to the squad.

12 Dec 2025 20:47:35
That was my first thought gazzi, but been left out.

12 Dec 2025 21:21:21
Got the impression from Sean Dyches press converance, Nigeria have asked for him to go over there, and Sean said no. Difficult for a coach to not show any disrespect to AFCON and keep the player happy about the decision.
At the moment it's getting like the Chinese New Year calender on here????.

12 Dec 2025 22:26:03
Love the last bit mossy ???.

12 Dec 2025 22:33:14
Messy what's carlo said and done to you little boy. are you dtp bestest friend from the school ground do you need to protect him ???.

12 Dec 2025 22:52:09
You really are desperate for attention!, sad?.

12 Dec 2025 23:04:33
He's been quiet today mossy
Been busy fitting bog seats
Got caught again with his trousers down testing one while on his phone I'd say ????.

13 Dec 2025 14:28:42
Thanks for the comment DTP?, really do appreciate "All" the posters who go down and report on the games, you can pick up any discontent with the supporters and give a first hand view of the games, I don't know where Skegs gets we are "Buds", I've posted many times against you when you are quick to right of the academy players ?.

12 Dec 2025 12:30:41
No sign of balloons, big larry today?
Oh I membered now we won last night ????.

12 Dec 2025 13:22:38
DTP Can you stop poking other posters for once? We won, we are delighted, but if we have an opinion which is different to yours then please just leave it alone.
IGNORE our posts. Nudge nudge wink wink- unsurprisingly we do mostly ignore yours ??.

12 Dec 2025 14:27:49
Balloons and skeggs love it red frog
"Ours? "" Have you joined their gang? ????.

12 Dec 2025 15:16:11
I'm here 79, Just come out of my coma I fell into watching us labour and lump against a side that ain't won in 16 euro games and lower championship quality at best. If that game excited you I'd go steady on the eggs benedict ?.

12 Dec 2025 15:34:36
Well said frog, it does get boring?.

12 Dec 2025 15:34:39
Good news the Mole and Camel are safe but there is still a snake and a rat at lose on here!
And lots of Bull s—-!
????.

12 Dec 2025 16:40:40
I'll take the rat carlo ??.

12 Dec 2025 17:28:47
Points make prizes, you don't get extra for playing champagne football balloons.

12 Dec 2025 17:35:27
Ah right, that's why we are sat one place above the relegation zone, because of all the points we've got ?.

12 Dec 2025 19:59:13
But that isn't dyches fault totally is it?

12 Dec 2025 12:19:38
{Ed's Note - Ed001 has posted a new article entitled, Matchday 15 - Quick Round Up

12 Dec 2025 10:56:06
Please Sean no Ndoye and Zinchenko in the side against Spurs

Sels

Savona
Milenkovic
Murrilo
Williams

Luis
Anderson

Hudson Odoi
Gibbs White
Hutchinson

Jesus

Subs Victor Dominguez Kalimuendo Bakwa Ndoye Zinchenko Abbott Morato Sangare.

12 Dec 2025 11:44:45
That’s about our strongest starting 11 Munmad. Obviously Luiz won't last more than an hour so Sanghere the replacement?

12 Dec 2025 11:56:02
Hutchinson was terrible against Everton I'd start him off bench if needed.

12 Dec 2025 11:57:14
You might be bang on there with the side munmad, got a sneaking feeling he'll play Ndoye though and that would be a mistake.

12 Dec 2025 12:26:02
Get your money on ndoye scoring a hat trick now ??.

12 Dec 2025 14:28:22
You know it skeggs ???.

12 Dec 2025 14:46:04
Ndoye needs a rest. He started with us quite well but has slipped of late. CHO looked quite good against Utrecht - I would go with him and Hutchinson.

12 Dec 2025 16:32:57
Skegness donkey sanctuary is the best place for him to reat.

13 Dec 2025 00:02:32
Luiz will only play 60 mins max. Sangare will start.

11 Dec 2025 23:22:52
Jesus goal was well taken.

12 Dec 2025 03:14:32
Both well taken mate and both well deserved from two players giving their all. ??.

11 Dec 2025 21:36:51
Got the job done against a mid Championship quality side but well organised and difficult to break down. We made hard work of it and I think an Ange team would have bottled it at the end like Swansea.
Credit to SD, good substitutions in personel and timing. Recognised we needed to win tonight and was positive and attacking in the changes he made.
Good to see a few reinforcements arriving. Zinchenko, understandably, looked rusty and lacks pace but a useful squad player.
Luiz oozes class and will have welcomed 45 mins on the pitch. Him staying fit will be vital to our Prem survival, especially with Yates injured.


Ndoye not at the races at all. I hope Hutch replaces him against Spurs.
Dominquez had a good game, tremendous work rate and can influence the game more the further up the pitch he goes. He’s under rated imo and a very very good footballer.
Credit to Kalimuendo and Jesus, both put a shift in and took their chances well. Was Mcteer playing? CHO was a thorn in their side all the match and looked tricky and sharp throughout
Just one criticism…. When we have a 6’7” goal keeper and Morato 6’4”, Malenkovic 6’5”, Sanghere 6’3” etc do we concede from a header after a set piece? ????.

11 Dec 2025 22:27:08
Cus it bypassed them all and ndoye didn't do his job stokey is the simple answer.

11 Dec 2025 23:15:05
I agree with much of what you say Stokey, but to me Zinchenko is not worth a spot in the team. He fluffs almost everything and fails to drop back and defend or tackle. Ndoye lacks confidence but was in the right place with his headers to score.
Size is not important in defence as much as positioning and making a challenge for the ball.


All in all I think the team did well and we have saved some players for Sunday.
Got to admire both Kalimuendo and Jesus, both seem really good blokes and beginning to adapt to Prem League football and demands.

12 Dec 2025 04:17:18
I wonder if Jesus and Kalimuendo would work as a striker partnership, there confidence must be sky high at the moment, it's something I would like Sean Dyche to try.
More experience gained for Abbott, great to see someone from the academy in the Forest team in Europe.

12 Dec 2025 06:50:41
I must of watched a different game ?? Jesus looking good but kalibellendo was non existent until he popped up with a lucky goal from a yard out now we have 2 Maradonas all of a sudden ??.

12 Dec 2025 07:08:06
Skegs - Its not the attackers fault if the midfield cannot spot the runs of strikers and opt to pass sideways or backwards or attempt a shot from 30 yards out.

We need more quality through balls like what MGW produced that created the second goal in the final third.

I think its hard to say how good or weak our strikers are until we see more quality passes to them. We could have Ronado up front but if we can't get the ball to him its pointless.

A major weakness with Forest is the midfielders lack creativity in the final third making it impossible for final third players.

12 Dec 2025 07:50:57
Absolutely spot on Adf
Luiz will be our game changer in that department if we can keep him fit.

12 Dec 2025 08:05:36
Not the midfielders fault they get bypassed by sels and the defence lumping up the ball dycheball style.

12 Dec 2025 09:13:45
Yes Skegs - Sels massively over rated imo. Kicks the ball straight back to the opposition 9 times out of 10.

Need a keeper that can play out from the back - stick with John for a bit.

12 Dec 2025 09:43:23
Sels wasn't playing though skeggs, keep up.

12 Dec 2025 10:53:01
Whoops! Anybody else mis- read the starting time! Turned on my phone and 56 mins gone! Thought it was 7.45 start. Anyway Kali scored! Quite a half hour followed but we got there. Made the Salmon Tray Bake taste very sweet. One of my better ones. (Omega 3, folks-keeps you calm).

12 Dec 2025 11:45:36
I'm on about all games dtp and John was just as bad it's the dycheball way.

11 Dec 2025 21:24:45
Did anyone notice tonight that two strikers edu allegedly bout?
Both of em scored ????.

11 Dec 2025 21:42:40
Congratulations ????.

11 Dec 2025 22:00:12
Whoops bought ?.

11 Dec 2025 22:54:22
If we lose it's all Edu's fault, if we win, is it because of Harold Bishop?

Just trying to keep up with all this.

12 Dec 2025 06:16:01
Who's Harold Bishop?

12 Dec 2025 07:09:00
He is a Legend in Neighbours.

12 Dec 2025 07:31:53
If we win it's because of Dyche who Edu appointed. If we lose it's Edu's fault. ?.

12 Dec 2025 08:22:20
God Almighty, will this never end? ………. it’s like a car load of kids going on a long, long journey ?????.

12 Dec 2025 09:41:49
Are we there yet?

12 Dec 2025 09:57:17
Bit like your long comments stokie now you know how we feel ???.

12 Dec 2025 10:56:27
Yes I agree Skegs, it's hard to read all them words all at once.

12 Dec 2025 11:46:24
????????.

12 Dec 2025 19:43:19
Are we there yet, actually your best dtp ???.

11 Dec 2025 20:10:03
Pleased with the win but when will we learn to take our chances and not be subject to pressure from silly equalisers?
Zinchenko Ndoye and McAtee very poor tonight pleased for Jesus with his goal. Morato for once looked comfortable, Murillo just fantastic.

11 Dec 2025 20:25:19
Morato had a good game.

11 Dec 2025 20:55:24
Funny that redfrog as on live chat you said these players are rotten to the core and you missed the goal cus you where clearing cat rubbish off your drive ???.

11 Dec 2025 21:45:27
I thought you was watching game ?? if you had watched it you would of seen how crap were apart from morato murrilo and mgw and Jesus when we were in trouble.

11 Dec 2025 22:24:15
I watched the game and looked after
You do realise we can look at live chats after the games? ????.

12 Dec 2025 05:09:30
I'm glad you take time out to have a look ?.

12 Dec 2025 07:52:51
No point going on there during a game, because that's the last thing you talk about skeggs ?.

12 Dec 2025 09:04:07
That's a shame we love hearing all about your predictions ??.
