Nottingham Forest banter 6

01 Nov 2025 14:10:59
Same line up
I've no problem if dyche thinks that's his best line up
But he can't play same line up Thursday.

01 Nov 2025 15:53:00
Wanna bet dtp. This is where we are now. Cemented in the bottom three and Dyche running the show ???.

31 Oct 2025 21:25:43
I'm going for a 2-1 win tomorrow come on dychie. edu out.

01 Nov 2025 00:34:28
Same as my acca mate??.

01 Nov 2025 07:22:35
I don't think we have bottomed out yet. draw would be good.

01 Nov 2025 08:55:43
I haven't a clue what to expect from the line up to the final score tbh
Just hoping we turn a corner and get a result today
Looking forward to it and day out with the lads.

01 Nov 2025 10:16:16
Hard fought 1-0!

01 Nov 2025 10:54:08
I'm the same DTP, will it be a team built round Yates? Not sure, we have to go for the points. Nervous for the line up at 2pm. ( psst. Dychey! Hutchinson! ). Why not?

01 Nov 2025 12:11:54
Was so looking forward to the match later.
My wife's just asked me if I could go to her Mum and Dad's to cut logs!
Unbelievable!
That's the closest I'll get to seeing "Wood" today!
???.

01 Nov 2025 13:35:24
Mbuemo and Cunha against our full backs? Oh dear? Keep hoping, folks!

01 Nov 2025 17:11:18
Williams is one of the best fullbacks in the league.

01 Nov 2025 17:32:53
Most underrated always said that oak.

01 Nov 2025 17:40:43
He is skeggy, left or right he always is at least an 8 out of 10, wish I could say the same of some of our more vaunted players.

01 Nov 2025 18:20:23
Where is DTP?
Would like to hear his retrospective thoughts on today's game?
Cheated out of a win and looking better today.
????????.

01 Nov 2025 19:02:52
There's nothing negative about today's performance and he can't slate the manager he doesn't like he will be back when we lose again.

31 Oct 2025 19:46:41
Carlos meguile kept a clean sheet and Ramon sosa scored as palmeries won 4 nil
Just shows there's life after forest.

01 Nov 2025 00:36:08
Their gone, weren't good enough for the prem. So doesn't really matter. Remember how good Miguel was vs Exeter away. ?.

01 Nov 2025 08:41:41
Totally irrelevant DTP!

01 Nov 2025 08:57:26
Just posting in case anyone is interested In how they are getting on ripely
Is there something wrong in doing that?

31 Oct 2025 18:50:12
Show me light taylor/ clough, to most of the squad. because first I was blind, now I can see. VAR verse 10, as they fall in the pit of gluttony. And finding the boot of wood from last season. It's a sign it's a sign, ange, p1ss off the lot of ya.

He's not playing out. The cross dressing aussie t#at. Erm can I buy 3 x sheckels of stones for the next game. No you got to heckel, I've heckled every game? Life of BRIAN CLOUGH with this lot. Ok ok probably effed most up but you get the pattern.

31 Oct 2025 19:37:12
Send me the recipe for that Bowie I'll have some ???
No offence.

31 Oct 2025 20:06:17
Only expect a certain few to read between the lines dtp. don't worry, no offence ??.

31 Oct 2025 20:38:19
Who remembers Stanley Unwin, deep joy.

31 Oct 2025 20:48:05
Good luck with that Bowie ??.

31 Oct 2025 21:25:02
No, truthfully I can't read between the lines on your post Bowie. I can, however, sense your frustration at our current situation. We all share that mate.

31 Oct 2025 22:21:47
Excellent Bowie, word association. not a lot of people can do that, stoney probably, but you've done one on DTP. top man!.

31 Oct 2025 22:47:27
Actually sent balloons, this ones for you ? happy Halloween.

01 Nov 2025 00:40:42
Thanks redvale, lego ??.

31 Oct 2025 16:50:31
Just been listening to some Man Utd podcasts and they think they've only got to turn up tomorrow to beat us easily! ? no mention of the fact that we took 6 points off them last season with a weaker squad

I would dearly love for us to beat them again tomorrow ideally 2-0 but I'd take an og for a scruffy 1-0.

31 Oct 2025 17:40:35
Difference is mate last season we knew what we were doing, look a shambles at present and just like the Chelsea game I'm dreading it tomorrow, can't score can't keep clean sheet it's recipe for disaster, hope I'm wrong.

31 Oct 2025 18:16:23
You are mate we will beat them tomorrow 2-0 Jesus and Hudson Odoi.

31 Oct 2025 18:41:42
They won't start munmad.

31 Oct 2025 18:57:54
I'm not, for once in a while, dreading the game tomorrow Stripe. I've got a feeling that SD will have been drilling the guys all week on defence. I'm going for a fairly boring 0-0 draw.

31 Oct 2025 19:27:46
I'll say this only once
Sels will cost us a goal from a set piece.

31 Oct 2025 19:55:00
My prediction for tomorrow
The train will be rammed from ilkeston with just two carriages, despite man utd fan's on it
The beer will go down better than the football
The queues outside will be worse
Shorts a no no
Bar queues less in the ground and toilets more
And if you can't find a place for jesus then God help us ?.

31 Oct 2025 20:44:16
Old school 3:0 kick-off, great to get a win but think a draw, and Sean Dyche will be content with that.

31 Oct 2025 21:42:39
I do hate your appetite for negativity DTP. Fair play, you seem to be a black belt Ninja on the subject! I dread to think how you will react with that mentality when life's really hard times descend upon you personally either mentally or physically - and they will, as they do for us all eventually.

In the meantime, try to lighten up mate! Forest will bounce back.

31 Oct 2025 22:49:56
Add that lot to a two hour drive to Nottingham and struggling to find a parking space and you're pretty close.

31 Oct 2025 23:05:27
Pretty sure Jesus will start tommorow.

He was excellent against Porto, especially as Woods is out.

In my view the only question is which 2 out of CHO/ Ndoye/ Hutchinson start.

01 Nov 2025 07:53:18
Lego it's you needs to lighten up
It was a joke pal
When it comes to forest seen far worse than the present side ???????.

01 Nov 2025 13:57:59
Your prediction was right again dtp he's started with them 2 munmad ?? keep them going dtp.

31 Oct 2025 18:35:05
?? brilliant dtp ?.

31 Oct 2025 09:13:28
How about this team and formation against Man U

Sels

Milenkovic
Jair
Murrilo

Ndoye
Luis
Anderson
Yates
Williams

Gibbs White
Jesus

3-4-2.

31 Oct 2025 10:43:47
Saying this every game now? Give Hutchinson a go!

31 Oct 2025 11:51:25
Let's hope "Bats" Sels plays a blinder!
OK! Ok! I'll stop!
???.

31 Oct 2025 12:23:32
0-2 with that team.

31 Oct 2025 16:17:51
Constructive.

31 Oct 2025 17:06:39
Sels

Williams Malenkovic Morato Savona


Luiz Anderson Hutchinson MGW


Jesus CHO

Half time subs: Yates MaCatee Dominguez.

31 Oct 2025 18:08:33
It'll be sels
Savona
Milenkovic
Murillo
Williams
Yates
MGW
Anderson
Ndoye
Hutchinson or CHO
Wood or Awoniyi
Just saying
The rest of the new boys won't stand a chance and he's not used sangare at all so quite easy to get it more or less right each game.

31 Oct 2025 18:27:02
No Murrilo?

31 Oct 2025 18:42:53
I've put murillo in munmad.

31 Oct 2025 21:37:37
Left back Murrilo eventually I'll get it right.

31 Oct 2025 23:26:40
Murillo awful in last match. I think Malenkovic and Morato work much better together. Leave the long balls to midfielders.

01 Nov 2025 08:17:19
No sangare and still losing. So maybe it's not his fault we keep losing after all, DTP.

01 Nov 2025 09:03:29
Sangare, Yates, MGW, Anderson, CHO, Ndoye, Bakwa are all part of the problem silkman
They aren't creating or scoring atm
We have to find a solution in midfield to play alongside luiz, who is the only one who can create and take a set piece.

01 Nov 2025 10:53:00
I wouldn't expect Gibbs-White or Anderson to score many as they can't seem to shoot. Bakwa hasn't had much of a run yet so we haven't really seen him enough to judge. I agree with the rest though.

31 Oct 2025 07:39:25
{Ed's Note - LFC-S MANGO has posted a new article entitled, Slot's Excuses Are An Embarrassment To Liverpool FC

30 Oct 2025 16:00:06
Reflecting on our loss to Bournemouth: Dyche got it all wrong in terms of tactics and subs.
First of all the opposition had nine days rest before the match. We played virtually the same team and had only a couple of days rest. We could have rotated players, I'd have preferred Morato in than Murillo and we could have used Jair Cunha, Domingues, Yates MCatee and Hutchinson, and given others a rest, even if we brought them on later.

That means we could have had much fresher players for Man. United.
Asking players to play Porto and then Bournemouth in such a short space of time has nothing to do with fitness, because their bodies have to have time to recover.
We have a big enough squad to do some rotation and shouldn't be afraid of it. They were lacklustre because they were cream crackered, and the poor refereeing continues to haunt us.
Stand by our men!

30 Oct 2025 20:33:38
We should have played most those you mentioned against Porto.

30 Oct 2025 22:33:29
Don't get why the £130 mil signings aren't getting a look in, 3 managers n none of them seems to fancy mcatee bakwa Hutchinson kalimendo are they all that bad, if so whoever signed them needs to go. that outlay worth next to nothing now.

30 Oct 2025 23:05:25
Good post BS. I agree, but it's not just about the practicality of player rotation to maintain energy levels within the 1st team. In doing so, it also involves a psychological message to the players that they are always replaceable. That IMO is always a good thing to curb players' egos and keep them on their toes.

31 Oct 2025 01:28:59
I personally think a lot of our fanbase/ posters are doing Bournemouth a huge injustice, they are an extremely well run club with a clear identity.
They have a manager who if i remember rightly wasn't to popular at the start of his region but has become one of the most sort after head coaches/ managers in Europe.
Whoever is in charge of their recruitment is possibly the best in the league. Never hear me grumble about losing to the side placed 2nd in the league.
Look at who they sold in the summer and the level of club they went to. They recouped a crazy amount of money and by the looks of it recruited equally as well again.


Its my opinion that Dyche and co will be judged on the upcoming games between now and Christmas. DTP asked a very good question about how many points we can realistically get between now and then. I hope it'll be between 10 and 15 but heyho I'm an optimistic when it comes to us and I'll never bet against us.
I genuinely think Dyche needs time, he needs to get across his style which i think is very much in the ilk of nuno and i prey the players respond.
Optimistically still think midtable is very much achievable. ?.

31 Oct 2025 05:28:08
I reckon we'll put the "Frightners" on United tomorrow!
If we play, Milenko"Witch", Ryan "Yikes! ", Morgan-Gibbs-"Fright". Definitely not Sang "Scary", we might have a "Hell" of a chance!.
It's sure to ge a "Thriller! "
"Ah, ha! ha! ha, ha! ha!
Ah! ha! ha! ha! ha! "
???.

31 Oct 2025 07:20:46
Brilliant Rogie!

And belated birthday wishes for the other day Lego mate!

31 Oct 2025 08:01:20
That's good Rogie ?.

31 Oct 2025 08:45:06
“Fangs” for that Rogie! We certainly need to “resurrect” our season, “raise ourselves up” from the “dead”and retrieve our “grave” situation, thereby protecting Nr M’s “stake” in the club. Otherwise it’s all “doom and gloom” as far as I can see.
Tomorrow is a chance to “exorcise” the “demons” of the Ange era imo……. ????.

31 Oct 2025 09:15:21
Brilliant!
Forgot I forgot "Igor" Jesus!
???.

31 Oct 2025 13:44:17
Could it be possible that we’ve signed players who aren’t fit for purpose? Hard to comprehend I know but it’s not looking good on that front is it?

31 Oct 2025 17:33:44
Love the banter at this time of year, maybe give Sels the vampire a rest though, he hates crosses ? ? ?.

31 Oct 2025 19:17:27
Now that's brilliant ???.

30 Oct 2025 15:53:17
It's great to see Jamie MCdonnell being noticed playing for Mansfield, already played for Northern Ireland, maybe next season part of Forests squad?, ☑️ one for the Academy.

30 Oct 2025 21:38:02
Only if we get relegated,.

30 Oct 2025 23:40:34
There is no ifs carlo as according to you we have such a bad owner?
You've been on his case with your mole since he bought us
Come on be the man and admit that?
Tales of his son you've put on here, not one word from you if well done marinakis when we where doing OK
Now it's not going well back to type and now it's edu?

31 Oct 2025 09:18:39
The owner isn't the problem dtp it's who he's listening to edu that's the problem.

31 Oct 2025 10:48:47
I get the feeling he only listens to someone for a short while then goes off on one sacks somebody and moves on, he doesn't seem to have any patience it obviously works in the shipping business but rich players and coaches can shrug their shoulders and move to the next position.

I'm not knocking him just polnting out his flaws in my opinion!. He needs someone he can trust to get on with the job can't see anyone there at the moment, perhaps there is a few on here could put him in his place has a owner/ FAN ONLY ???.

31 Oct 2025 19:20:17
Who was the problem before then skeggs when under karanka, hughton?
And he was obviously listening to you under Cooper ????.

30 Oct 2025 12:22:49


StokeyRed
has written an article entitled, Set Pieces to Dominate Nottingham Forest Under Dyche?

30 Oct 2025 14:36:31
StokerR you have hit the nail on the head once again. An excellent piece on how we can move forward with Dyche. Many managers admire Yates as he must be the fittest player in our squad. He also gets an occasional goal. I am looking forward to Saturday.

30 Oct 2025 16:14:13
Just read Sean Dyches pre- match press convergence, he was complementary about Yates but didn't say he's first name on the team sheet, I wonder if Dyche would prefer Garner ?.

30 Oct 2025 16:40:42
We need to score from set pieces as we seem incapable of scoring from open play recently. A couple of penalties, Milenkovic from a corner and a free kick screamer from. erm. somebody, would do. ?.

30 Oct 2025 17:07:17
We need a free kick within shooting distance with Luiz on the pitch. Typical we get one 2nd half against Bournemouth as soon as he's gone off!

30 Oct 2025 17:58:36
An extremely sound prediction of our future under SD Stokey. Very well written,

30 Oct 2025 18:27:20
Said same to my nates Sunday Fred
How two current England International players can't take one is beyond belief.

30 Oct 2025 19:05:21
If Yates is the perfect cm for dyche then we really are in big trouble, love the lad but his first touch is normally a shove in the back and a yellow card. I could run around kicking and shoving don't make me a premier league player either.

30 Oct 2025 20:39:48
Got to agree with you redstripe
He won't score and that's why we are all safe and dry
I predicted he'll play awoniyi and wood above any other striker, Everton had plenty of centre backs to play his style a a good goalkeeper, we haven't.

30 Oct 2025 21:26:36
I've read your set piece and dyche
Basically it fall downs and end in goals as we can't deliver a set piece, so if that's all dyche has in his locker we'll still be bottom three. and he'll of picked up no points at end of November and that will be the end.

30 Oct 2025 21:29:16
Why wouldn't you play wood proven premiere league striker. maybe if edu had done some homework we wouldn't be in this mess I'm sure dyche will do the best he can with what edu as tried to give him.

30 Oct 2025 21:38:46
Wood scored most his goals from crosses from elanga a nd CHO skeggs and most with his feet plus some good pens, he's to old a wise to go back to hoof ball, Cooper tried that tactic with him and he looked awful, he's no good at hold up
We' can't play his outdated tactics, it's dyche that needs to adapt to the squad he has.

30 Oct 2025 21:51:37
Edu, Edu, your like a parrot skeggs, have you seen anything from last seasons first eleven?
Have you seen Edu s signings play, cus barring a couple I haven't
Now you are blaming marinkas, that's the same marinakis that's given you premier football
Jesus has scored goals and so has ndoye plus assists
Zinchenko a bad one the rest I wait to see play before I criticise Edu, but you'll not see them play at all under dyche and he'll flogg them to death Saturday, Thursday and Sunday imo
If he does then that's stupidity, he has to rotate or we are done
He's already hiding behind the "we aren't fit enough "so that'll be nuno and anges fault not his.

31 Oct 2025 06:18:45
Well pal you've just said it all yourself about edus signings. 3 managers and none of them rate the players obviously else they would be playing wouldn't they emm ? fact. you know I'm right. but you can't handle the truth ?? I rest my case.

31 Oct 2025 08:45:11
On a pillow ???.

30 Oct 2025 10:52:25
And meeting you too McGovern mate! Where has time gone?

30 Oct 2025 18:04:05
Sorry McGovern that makes no sense because it refers to my previous long post ( or Review) when I said when we beat Man Utd at the City Ground 1 nil on April 1st it was the last time we kept a clean sheet in the Prem and the first time I had the pleasure of meeting up with you, Lego and Carlo.


Hope that’s cleared things up?

29 Oct 2025 22:23:58
Our next ten premier league games are six at home and four away till end of December
What would your expectations be of a points tally from those games and do you think dyche can gain enough points from them?

29 Oct 2025 22:48:57
Honestly, I've just checked them and I'd say 11 points optimistically, maybe a few less or a few more. All of the sides are obviously in better form than ourselves barring Wolves. ?.

30 Oct 2025 00:44:51
No more than 12 points.

30 Oct 2025 04:12:02
Would hope for points away to Wolves and Everton, at home, how the supporters respond is important, too many performances like against Bournemouth and it will became toxic very quickly.

30 Oct 2025 05:56:52
Stokey will analyse it for us in his own style
You know how it works. Ask him the time and he'll tell you how to make watch ?.

30 Oct 2025 06:19:40
It doesn't matter how many points you think dyche will get lol. Keep moaning about dyche I'm sure there's a lot of fans like myself that would of wanted a better manager in. but it's not happening either the managers we wanted are in work at the minute or the decent managers that are out of work wouldn't touch the job with a bargepole.

so I'm just happy we have someone who's stepped in for now. and it's the players that are not playing because of there heads being turned and not stepping up that's the biggest problem. and edu ?.

30 Oct 2025 06:33:34
Including the 5 we've already got and based on current form I think we'll be on a combined total of 10 points. Because at the moment we can't score and we can't defend. Which, in any league especially the Premier League, is a recipe for disaster. These problems have been there since after the second league match.

30 Oct 2025 08:01:37
Larry ?????.

30 Oct 2025 08:15:32
Thanks for the replies and ravers I believe you'll be the closest
To me we have to beat leeds, wolves and Everton h and get the odd draw for dyche to be here at Xmas and my explanation if saying he'll be gone
If we don't win any of those home games and any of them become heavy defeats, the crowd want him gone and will turn on marinakis in the next few weeks
Going to games I see the friction and arguments behind the stands and never witnessed what postacoglou had to endure on his second home game in all my years of going, so don't expect patience from those fans anymore.


Let's hope he has instilled some confidence and self belief in the players and got them organised for Saturday and finds a formula to work or like it or not he will be gone just like ange and could be in less time
The squad has enough quality not to be in this position and only the coaching staff can sort out a way of getting results from the players
End of the day the buck stops with the manager/ coach.

30 Oct 2025 09:29:25
The buck stops with the players. The rot set in last April, we have seen Nuno and AP go. Views on each of these two vary but for some reason the players stopped playing with their usual verve. Now we have SD. Many on this site believe he has the character needed to get the players on track.

I can’t think of another manager that would have a better effect. If SD fails we are relegated - end of. The players will have let him and the other two down in a big way and they deserve relegation.

30 Oct 2025 10:45:27
If Dyche 'implodes', and he goes DTP, what would effect would losing three managers swiftly have on the players? I think they would lose all motivation, even in the Prem and just fade away until the season closes. Can you have 4 managers in a season, (and I mean season- both meanings! )

30 Oct 2025 11:27:18
15 points.

30 Oct 2025 11:37:01
Nuno it doesn't explain thr performance against brentford and Palace or the first half against betis
My own view is the sides being put out are unbalanced and players who are out of form continuing to be picked.
We've had a problem for along time now where we are OK if we score first especially early, if we concede especially early there seems to be no way back
Individual errors are costing us dearly aswell
My opinion of dyche is he likes a 6 footer in every position and rely far to heavily on scoring from set pieces, we haven't got anyone other than luiz capable of taking a set piece and that's a major problem.


If dyche can't adapt his tactics to the squad we have then he won't succeed.
The forwards we have won't thrive on long balls punted upfield by sels, they need playing in and crosses from the wings, that's how I see it not working with dyche, but I hope he proves me wrong.

30 Oct 2025 11:49:52
I've heard Brendan Rogers is now available and not in a job.

It isn't impossible that we will have had 4 managers by the end of the January window, which just shows how pathetic the players have been for some time. We only lost one key player from a squad that made 2nd place last season at one point.

People always blame changing bosses on bad form, but it is party bad form that leads to changing managers too. So worrying.

30 Oct 2025 12:54:05
Brenda Rogers ?? couldn't do anything with Celtic and I didn't think you wanted a manager in that has a say in public about the owners make your mind up cyclist I would rather keep Dyche than have brenda.

30 Oct 2025 15:51:13
I don't think changing again if we don't have to is a good idea. I'd rather have Rogers all day though and it was a mistake not to appoint him when we appointed Dyche.

30 Oct 2025 18:05:06
In the next 10 games we need to find a way of getting 15 pts don't care how we do it. SD just needs to find away. In the europa I reckon we will get the 2 wins needed to get to playoff round.

30 Oct 2025 18:27:46
It's not who maranakis wanted. he's obviously after his pal from fulham but won't pay the fee maybe they already have a agreement but I'm guessing that all depends on wether we're championship next season or Premier league let's just hope dyche can pull it off.

31 Oct 2025 14:49:50
Marinakis didn't choose this boss. According to Forest, Edu and Syrianos did. Marinakis was expecting Silva and/ or Rogers to be available of the end of the season if he wants them, so probably said go for it with Dyche but I ain't taking the blame if it goes t1ts up.
