Nice to have new members Hoojdonk2 and Big Larry on board?.

Agree7 Disagree0

22 Sep 2025 19:36:05
Yep skeggs and balloons MV.

22 Sep 2025 20:25:48
Are you sure this time, DTP? You and others have accused plenty of people of being the 2 in question.

22 Sep 2025 21:57:09
Well it is a banter site. So let's banter!

22 Sep 2025 23:02:13
We on to Hoojdonk2 already. Hoojdonk1 already losing his memory? ?.

23 Sep 2025 03:52:23
Thanks MV. Really enjoying it, Have a great time on Spain. I'm sure we will get that first win.

23 Sep 2025 08:31:49
I'm Sparticus! Sorry I meant Balloons and Skeggs ???.

Brilliant rrh just brilliant film, and a sentence to remember. ? crowe/ phoeneix/ Reed amazing cast.

23 Sep 2025 16:55:16
One of the Greatest ever made mate, sadly number two just didn't cut it. ?.

23 Sep 2025 17:50:16
A great quote from a superb film Winter. However, I prefer Maximus saying "what we do in life echoes in eternity". So true.

23 Sep 2025 18:07:03
Actually rhr, just watching hacksaw ridge on Netflix, 2nd time. based on true story. What an amazing emotional event in history of a true f kn hero bud. All on here. Look it up. please. won't let ya down ?.

23 Sep 2025 19:16:09
Yeah seen it mate, very good film. ?.

23 Sep 2025 19:21:00
Also love this one

"Myrmidons! My brothers of the sword! I would rather fight beside you than any army of thousands! Let no man forget how menacing we are, we are lions! Do you know what's waiting beyond that beach? Immortality! Take it! It's yours! "

Awesome ?.

Weekend at Bernies?

The face that launched (some I've seen that would sink) a thousand ships.

23 Sep 2025 20:06:36
I prefer the arguments about forest winter
Just saying.

23 Sep 2025 20:57:18
Best words ever spoken was Peter sellers in a lift, when films were funny and entertaining.

23 Sep 2025 21:07:29
Lol DTP you are the voice of contradiction ????.

23 Sep 2025 21:15:03
Look and learn young un ???????.

23 Sep 2025 21:23:05
Life is a contradiction winter and always will be, if you haven't learnt that by now?

24 Sep 2025 00:13:39
Contradiction or indecision on your part? ??.

22 Sep 2025 16:50:43
I think UEFA changed the format last year, so it's now a league basis. We play different teams in one off games, so many positions go through to the knock out phase! It's to give qualifying teams more games in Europe, without it most would only play 2 legs before being knocked out! More money generated too!

Agree2 Disagree0

22 Sep 2025 13:18:41
Any predictions for the Bettis Game? I think we might get a draw. Even a 1-0 loss would still give us a big chance.

Agree1 Disagree0

22 Sep 2025 13:50:18
Bse don’t quite understand, if we lose we just get no points, there’s not a return leg.

22 Sep 2025 15:33:52
According to DTP if you think we will lose then you are all doom and gloom.

22 Sep 2025 16:09:19
I don't see where they mentioned a return leg, Stevie. Unless you read different to how I read.

22 Sep 2025 16:50:51
My bad Stevie, apologies!

22 Sep 2025 16:52:11
2-1 win for the Reds, Bettis won't expect us to play attacking football - but then no one will lol.

22 Sep 2025 17:24:44
Betis great counter attacking football bit like us last season. unless we score 3 we won't be coming away with owt.

22 Sep 2025 17:49:06
Silkman if you read bsered post maybe you will understand my reply,

22 Sep 2025 17:53:23
I think we have a good chance Betis best player Isco injured. and a few failed and past it ex premier league players. Antony, and ex Arsenal bellerin, how olds he? Maybe Ange will surprise and be a bit more pragmatic.

22 Sep 2025 19:23:21
On paper, Betis away is our hardest game. Just play whoever has Euro or International experience. Europe away isn't like the Prem.

I'll be happy with a good performance, so the players find their feet in Europe.

Heart: Betis 1-3 Forest ?
Head: Betis 1-1 Forest.

22 Sep 2025 19:32:27
Well predicting your team to lose is as gloomy as it gets tbh
I'm suprused you manage to cross a road silkman without worrying a bus might knock you down
If football results where so easy to predict then the bookies wouldn't exist
Personally I'm looking forward to it and you can't do that with negative thoughts of a defeat before the kick off.

22 Sep 2025 19:45:10
I'm glad your looking forward to it dtp nuno done such a great job so all the fans could enjoy it this season. I hope we do him proud.

22 Sep 2025 20:27:58
Every forest fan should be looking forward to it skeggs, if your not? Then time to find a new hobby.

22 Sep 2025 20:41:28
When did I predict Forest would lose? Not being surprised by a result is not the same as expecting or predicting that result. I don't worry about anything until I need to worry about something. And even then I might not worry as much as I probably should do.

22 Sep 2025 20:47:47
Hooydonk he’s gone skegs, like you kept reminding everyone about cooper, without who we wouldn’t have been in position to push for Europe at all, so you best let it go like you kept telling us,

22 Sep 2025 22:01:46
I view this as a free hit.

It is by far our hardest game.

Positive we will get to the next phase. No pressure. Therefore the team can express themselves (to coin a phrase from 1990).

22 Sep 2025 21:00:45
Betis are a team of premier flops and has been, Amrabat, Firpo, Bellerin, lo ceslo, Antony Fornals, we should be looking to win this one,

23 Sep 2025 12:28:51
If we were at home, I'd expect us to win. Away from home it's a tough one in a massive 70, 000 seater stadium against one of the top ranked teams in the comp so not an easy one.

We should still definitely be looking to try to win every game, but keep our realistic heads. It's a shame this one wasn't after we'd already got into the Europe League swing with it being the "toughest one" but that seems to be the way of it at the moment.

Well, we are only 5 points behind Arsenal and 3 points behind 6th place. Everything to play for. ??.

Are you OK dtp. your sounding very paranoid I haven't said anything just chilling watching a movie mate looks like your having fun googling stuff that really makes no difference mate. fans will have there own thoughts and opinions anyway carry on googling I'm going to watch second part of my movie have a goodnight pal ?.

21 Sep 2025 21:23:37
Well just like a football game, your watching a movie but can't stop looking at your phone? ????.

21 Sep 2025 22:10:03
Seville, wgst a place. Staying for the week. Missuss loves it (gotta keep her indoors happy?. Told her she is lucky to be with a Forest fan, otherwise we wouldn't be here.

A week full of Cadiz, Cathedral Pslace, Tapas, Gardens and Forest.


Thank you Nuno (you Forest legend). You delivered this. God bless you dir.

22 Sep 2025 00:54:41
67, I'll be in Seville for 2 days of sun, beer and Forest. No time for that sight seeing malarkey.

22 Sep 2025 05:24:18
Im going to get my hair cut over there.
???.

22 Sep 2025 08:12:56
To be fair crystal Palace delivered it ?
Enjoy lads ??.

21 Sep 2025 19:27:53
In my old Army days we used to call this a 'Warning Order'!

FYI I'm hoping to attend the home game vs Spurs on 13th Dec (courtesy of McGovern's help) and it will be great to meet with fellow posters at the TBI beforehand if you can make it.

To see McGovern, Stokey and Carlo again will be brilliant - as well as meeting others on here such as Arizona et al.

I can't wait.

Agree1 Disagree0

21 Sep 2025 22:42:23
Hopefully, see you there pal.

21 Sep 2025 22:49:18
Brrrr could be freezing ??
If we’re early we might get a game Lego! ??.

22 Sep 2025 00:51:19
We play Utrecht on Thursday the 11th, the Spurs game won't be on the 13th. Fixture change just not announced yet.

22 Sep 2025 19:46:31
It'll be a Monday night game on sky I reckon.

21 Sep 2025 16:05:22
Wow that unai emery must be a crap manager, ( 3 consecutive Europa leagues wins) his team couldn't beat newly promoted Sunderland who only had 10 men for an hour, and Burnley who obviously we should have battered yesterday, beat Sunderland easy a couple of weeks ago, so I guess villa need to sack emery now,

Agree3 Disagree0

21 Sep 2025 16:48:01
Stevie I've read some of the villa forum and some of fans are actually moaning so like every other club mate.

21 Sep 2025 17:00:01
Hooydonk, if he’d have been judged on his arsenal record, like people are judging Postecoglou on his Spurs record, they wouldn’t have employed him in the 1st place, or us nuno for ghat matter, that’s the stupidity of all this, I don’t know whether Ange is the answer, but I’m prepared to give him more than 2 league games,

21 Sep 2025 17:33:58
I'm not that bothered to be honest stevie whether he does good or bad I don't think it will matter why edus pulling the strings. but we shall see.

21 Sep 2025 18:30:25
What's edu done wrong.

21 Sep 2025 20:58:24
If we'd judged Nuno on his Tottenham record we would never have qualified for Europe.

21 Sep 2025 21:28:07
Who was the last manager to win a trophy at spurs cyclist, as my memory's not very good? ??.

21 Sep 2025 22:02:53
Dementia setting in DTP?

22 Sep 2025 14:22:07
What yours? ????.

21 Sep 2025 16:00:56
Just watched Sunderland v Villa, so we have a tough game next - Sunderland down to 10 men from 32nd minute - they look useful! They showed fight, grit, determination and earned a point!

Agree5 Disagree0

21 Sep 2025 18:29:18
I wouldn't be surprised if Sunderland beat us.

21 Sep 2025 18:48:54
Would you like to elaborate on that silkman and tell us why?
Your all doom abd gloom, doesn't matter the subject be it politics or forest, WHY?

21 Sep 2025 19:55:09
I would fgs get a grip man guaranteed 3 prs.

21 Sep 2025 20:46:19
I'm not all doom and gloom at all

21 Sep 2025 20:58:45
Really? ????.

21 Sep 2025 21:48:35
F fs don't say that silky.

21 Sep 2025 13:09:43
Controversial topic but my thought are it now time to give Chris Wood a rest and use him as an impact sub after say 60/ 65 minutes

Start Jesus and or Kalimuendo as they are far more mobile and able to press which our new style requires the strikers to do

Plus points are there are quite a few possession up to 65 per cent away from home

Luis looks quality and he and Anderson will be great together Bakwa Hutchinson Ndoye and Hudson Odoi give us great options out wide

Our problems look to be at 10 as nether MGW or McAtee look the real deal and our defence without Murrilo looks shaky

Morato and Boly not good enough imo and it should be Jair and Abbot as back up CBs

Sels looks shaky but will come good and Neco and Zinchenko will be fine imo

COYR.

Agree5 Disagree0

21 Sep 2025 13:48:26
Pretty good post mate.

21 Sep 2025 13:50:35
Jesus should be first on the team sheet woody done well for us in fact great last season but when I've seen Jesus play he looks quality and a pace quicker than woods.

21 Sep 2025 14:56:20
For a change we agree, Jesus’ looks quality and should be our starting 9 in the Prem

My major concern is at 10 can Ndoye play there as he does for Switzerland as MGW and McAtee look shorts of ideas at the moment

Need Murrilo back absolutely vital for us at the back.

21 Sep 2025 18:51:12
The rotation will be interesting with betis and Sunderland and ange still learning about his players.

21 Sep 2025 09:58:45
As I've said before I think Ange is the wrong choice.
But like every new coach that comes in you have to give him time.
Hope I'm proved wrong. If he gets it right good but as you all know if he doesn't he will be gone.
At the moment all I can see is a season of struggle. We were very poor at times yesterday may be the weather had something to do with it. We should be beating sides like Burnley. let's see how we cope with Sunderland who are on a high with just getting promoted.

Agree6 Disagree0

21 Sep 2025 10:36:02
Burley pushed Liverpool so seem to be a decent side. I agree we didn't know what we were doing at times and there was little cohesion. Lots of variables but it was a little disappointing. Zinchencko looked way off the pace and was dominated. We really need speed at the back. Aina will be sorely missed I feel. We are short at the back now with Murillo and Aina give for a while, let's hope Morato steps up with more game time and this young kid can step up. We can't play a high line with no pace to defend, Ange will have to really think how to get the best out of bloody solid group of players. He needs time, I feel it will be rocky for a month or so, Europe will be his focus I feel with marankis driving it. He has the potential to take us to the next level or have a real struggle implementing what is expected in a short time with a lot of pressure.

21 Sep 2025 10:58:10
The right choice of coach is one who Edu and Marinakis want to work with. They need a coach who is committed to playing a style of football that they are recruiting off and who shares their philosophy.

The worst coach for Forest is one who Edu/ Marinakis don't share philosophy and plans with.

Edu and Marinakis think Ange Postecoglu shares their philosophy and plays the way that fits their recruitment strategy. It would be madness to do anything else.

21 Sep 2025 11:00:45
SYRED, if there wa little cohesion then why did we beat Burnley on EVERY METRIC? Why did we create so many chances? Why did we have so many more sucessful forward passes than the opposition?

Not the finished article, and the subs can be questioned on their timing and perhaps playing Kalimuendo out of position. But we lost on an individual error and poor finishing.

21 Sep 2025 11:20:00
They want ange to fail cyclist
They can't have watched the match to come up with silly conclusions
Like you say even the stats show how dominant we where
What stats don't show is a Burnley having a 5 man defence?
That is never easy to break down and if we'd of played nunos counter attack, would never have had a shot anyway.

21 Sep 2025 11:57:42
It's obvious some people just won't give the new coach a chance. A few wins might help.

The individual error thing is starting to get really annoying now. It's been happening all season. Apart from the first game, you can point to one or more individual error that's cost us the points.

Palace: Stupid flick while defending - MGW.
Swansea: Zinchenko error.
Sangare penalty.
Boly not clearing his zone with a header.

We'd be in the top 4, only lost to Arsenal and not moaning about Nuno and Ange if that hadn't happened (Nuno's tedious footy notwithstanding).

21 Sep 2025 12:18:29
I remember ange stats in premiere league last year plenty of shots possession. all good and well remind me where they finished in the league and as for edu arsenal are in a lot better place without him. and nuno would of won that game against a side that's just come up from the championship wait for the excuses Wednesday when we get thumped by betis.

21 Sep 2025 12:42:53
Balloons, I have to be honest Europa isn’t even something I’m thinking about, I wish we weren’t in it all, the circumstances of us being in it are just bringing us more unwanted attention, if we struggle as you predict then it’s Jsut more games for a losing mentality to cement.

Surely the only thing Forest should be worrying about is beating Sunderland, failure to that will see us in deep, deep trouble this season. We’re fast looking like a team with too much tuning needed.

21 Sep 2025 12:51:29
So hooydonk (skeg ) you do prefer park the bus after all that moaning you did when we played it?

21 Sep 2025 12:55:24
nuno has been losing most games since Man U on April 1st last year. Simple as. DO an ostritch impresison if you like but it's still true.

You're also ignoring the point. Marinakis and Edu run the club. To have an integrated way of running the club you have to have a coach who wants to work how they do. Nuno made it plain for eveyone, in public that he wasn't that coach.

So Marinakis and Edu have appointed a coach who agrees with them. Whether it's a good decision, time will tell. But no point appointing or sticking with someone who will work against them.

The otherr point is that nuno was on a downward trajectory and teams had his number which is why the bad results (3 wins in 13 games I think) started. So why stick with Nuno? There is no good reason to except to argue pointlessly with the owner.

21 Sep 2025 12:57:41
And exactly, DTP. You can't counter-attack a team who sit back like Burnley. That's exactly the way teams have been beating us since last April under Nuno. This is precisely why one-trick Nuno had to go.

21 Sep 2025 13:28:09
2 gold star if maranakis and edu wanted a man in charge to play there system there way with the players edu brings in and didn't think nuno could do it surely the sensible thing to do would of bought a new manager in the summer but then he wouldn't of got much work done with the new players as they would of been bought in to late in window all a bit crazy for me and everyone will be up for beating us angeball guaranteed to score against us no chance of sels getting golden glove this season.

21 Sep 2025 13:31:57
Some can't see that cyclist and why we needed to get a stronger squad
Really don't understand all the negativity on here.

21 Sep 2025 14:06:44
Its opinions dtp. some fans don't agree with you that's life pal and after the next 2 games there's going to be a lot more so I'd get use to it. I remember a certain few that have posted up above being negative all last season even though we got into Europe so pot kettle pal.

21 Sep 2025 14:22:10
Stop crying about Nuno. He was found out. He had a good half season or so then everyone realised all you have to do is sit back and his team had no way to win.

Marinakis and Edu saw the problem and recruited to solve it. Nuno threw the toys out of the pram and worked against the people who clearly saw what he couldn't see and also paid his wages. Try speaking in front of the press against your boss when you've only won one game in 13 or whatever it was.

The result is clearly pictured in my Avatar. See ya one-trick. RED CARD!

?✊?.

21 Sep 2025 14:26:29
Hooydonk I never said it was tedious, you called that system parking the bus not me,

21 Sep 2025 14:40:40
Cyclist great post,

21 Sep 2025 14:43:52
We had a manager that knew what he needed to make the team more successful for this long hard season the man got us into Europe and wanted better this season. but edu thought it would be better to change the system that got us into Europe so nuno for me done the right thing and said get on with it if you think you can do better let's see at the end of the season who was right nuno or edu my moneys on nuno pal like I said arsenal a lot better off without the bloke my dad's big arsenal fan he clapped when he left and laughed at me when he knew he was coming to forest lol and the kat 13 games you was on about injuries and a lot of tired legs pal and nit a decent squad to cover we beat Liverpool at anfield last season only team to take 4 points off them we got to Europe anyone at start of last season would of been happy with mid table so please a little less of your nonsense about the end of the season form best season we'd had in decades fact enjoy your Sunday dinner pal ?.

21 Sep 2025 14:48:55
The first 2 mentions of Nuno on this thread were by members of the Nuno out brigade (DTP and Cyclist).
Quite telling that they can't stop going on about him and seeds of doubt may be starting to creep in ?.
It will be very interesting if after 10 games they're talking about Nuno more than Ange which will tell it's own story.
As I've stated before I'll give any manager of Forest my full support and Ange is no exception.
He has a clean slate with me and there's no need to try and jump up his CV as they can be very misleading.
He managed one of the most successful J league sides and Celtic which would enhance even the most average of managers trophy cabinets (even Brendan Rodgers ?).
Let's stop slagging off Nuno and get behind Ange ?.

21 Sep 2025 14:50:53
Hi stevie I wondered when the 3rd muskateer would turn up lol.

21 Sep 2025 14:57:27
But seriously, most importantly, get behind the whole project.

Marinakis is putting his money where his mouth is.

Edu and Marinakis have a plan and Ange is part of it. Get behind all three of them and the team.

We are Nottingham Forest! COYR!

21 Sep 2025 15:21:07
Hooydonk not sure what you mean skegs I was quite happy with nuno but the bloke hit the self destruct button, I thought it was you that didn’t like ‘ park the bus, as you said about cooper he got us into the premier, we then needed an upgrade to push on, so maybe the owner who has put about half a billion into the club, thinks he’s employed a bloke who’s the next step up, having won a European trophy, his opinion trumps yours, as you ain’t put a penny piece in, in living memory,

21 Sep 2025 15:27:54
I'll second that Cyclist ?.
Exciting times ahead either way me thinks.

21 Sep 2025 16:37:55
Will take time for the team to settle, we will be a lot stronger in the 2nd half of the season once the squad has settled, got to remember forwards play a lot better when full of confidence and settled, defenders just need to be consistent and switched on fir 100 minutes, at moment a lot of disruption but things will get better, just need to grind out a couple of results. Was good to see us have a couple of shots from outside the box as well to mix things up.

21 Sep 2025 18:38:15
Fred I didn't want nuno to go
He chose to go
Decision was made and I'm a forest fan, seen plenty of managers come and go in my 68 years
It's those moaning about ange being in charge and predicting the worst?
Always be grateful to nuno and Cooper before him, but ange is coach now abd there is no point deciding he's already failed like some on here.

21 Sep 2025 19:09:24
You've never done that with a manager last one was nuno also sels In goal just saying dtp you obviously forget what you say must be your age pal and we're all entitled to our opinions.

21 Sep 2025 20:07:36
Sels I didn't like initially as he looked very iffy and still won't catch a ball from set pieces despite his size, that's something I don't like from a keeper
Great shot stopper and got a settled defence in front of him which helps.

22 Sep 2025 00:04:13
"He said, she said, they said" you guys sound like a bunch of schoolgirls.

Past is the past and we can't do anything to change it. Ange is our head coach now, you may or may not agree with Nuno going but there's nothing anyone can do to change that. Stop bloody bitching at each other its getting boring. ?.

22 Sep 2025 20:48:15
Well said Robin. It's got a lot worse since the East coast bent has returned. Just childish pathetic jibes. So boring.

23 Sep 2025 02:49:20
Yeah it takes two to tango or in this case five or six, others feeding into the narrative and deliberately bringing up past quotes. Honestly thought we all supported the same team. Clearly its not just international breaks when Lord of the Flies becomes common place on here. ?.

21 Sep 2025 08:49:10
My take on yesterday: green shoots of hope. Murillo will give us the pace at the back we need, zinchenko is ok for now, Luiz and Anderson will sow the midfield up, we have good wingers, and Jesus before Wood. I had us down for 2-2. Burnley under Parker can improve a lot. Our team is changing but will get better once the Nuno cloud has lifted. Have faith!

Agree6 Disagree0

23 Sep 2025 13:50:02
I for one am looking forward to seeing what Ange can bring to the table. I am excited with our squad and a good manager should bring out the best in them.

Come on you reds - let's have it!

Quite a few positives to take from the game and hopefully we get a settled side soon.

I’m seeing a lot of criticism of Ange who’s only just been appointed so it’s pretty unfounded IMO.

I feel a few fans are slating him more to cause arguments than any other reason.

At the end of the day he’s here and needs to be given a chance.
