Nottingham Forest banter 7

28 Oct 2025 19:17:19
Firstly, what do we think of SDs comment on the squads lack of fitness and secondly does our owners trigger happy volatility mean the World' s top ( and I mean apex) coaches wouldn't touch us with a barge pole. ?

28 Oct 2025 19:59:17
Our training facilities are way behind most premier clubs.

28 Oct 2025 20:06:50
Most of these coming from a geordie, stokey. I'd have the lot jogging through nettles on the banks of the river trent. There n back. SD asking for no snoods or hats is normally because they are training with them over their faces, set pieces/ final 3rd . swear reds i hate sending these posts but the lot's just getting on top of me lately.

I know probably too much time on retirement but my this really is a concern one good game in Europe not on about SD or the owner. I'm on about our future as a whole. because if the fans wanna p1ss big feller off that much. (Remember he can just give up if he wants) yet still owning. Just a thought. anyway me done till next game. Just frustrated.

28 Oct 2025 20:22:15
Gerrum down the Trent, running through nettles ??.

28 Oct 2025 21:14:20
Great excuse from dyche balloons when the losses pile up, I told you they weren't fit enough?
Look like I keep saying it has to work, but I can't see it working with dyche.

28 Oct 2025 21:57:50
Gerrum! ?
Surely from Eastwood?

28 Oct 2025 22:12:32
2 star Eastwood is on earth ??.

29 Oct 2025 04:21:33
It's not going to work with Dyche, DTP, What a poor appointment. This CV shows nothing works with him. What they were thinking God only knows. Total lack of ambition. A young progressive modern coach like Iraola required, but where do we keep going?
The Natural History Museum.

29 Oct 2025 05:31:48
WE WILL NOT BE RELEGATED.

29 Oct 2025 05:54:01
Famous last words, Rogie.

29 Oct 2025 09:43:59
There’s nothing wrong with the Natural History Museum Larry ( except you need months to see everything)!
Tony Pulis has given a good interview today on the BBC website you might be interested in mate. Maybe “dinosaurs” didn’t die out ( which we know to be true)

29 Oct 2025 10:32:09
I must say again Larry you are looking at SD’s CV entirely out of context mate. He’s managed Burnley for the vast majority of his career not Real Madrid. To keep them ( and cash strapped and FFP points docked Everton up) for a decade is an incredible achievement.


Forest will be his first properly resourced club and he’s been here a week! Let’s give the bloke a fair crack of the whip eh? ???.

29 Oct 2025 10:46:46
I don't think we will go down either to be honest.

Maybe they aren't quite fit enough, Bournemouth certainly looked to be more energetic compared to us on Sunday. let's hope he can whip them into shape quick and we have a solid performance at the weekend.

29 Oct 2025 11:21:53
You know where bookies are then Rogie. Wack ya house on it ?.

29 Oct 2025 11:28:20
Apex coaches only go for Champion's League clubs normally.

29 Oct 2025 11:28:33
SD. Stegosourus Dyche will die out at Forest, Stokey and like most of our others, never work again unless Walsall or Doncaster get desperate.
To get turned over by Bournemouth without laying a glove on them is an incredible achievement too.

29 Oct 2025 12:31:00
You forget a few days before we beat Porto. A good side undefeated in 12 games. We had no training facilities in Cloughie’s day. Yet the side were fit. A 5k run every day would get them fitter. However there was a stat out there, that Anderson has run 98.4 K during matches this season.

Bournemouth, they were all tired - young people burning the candle at both ends? Saturdays match is unpredictable, we are due a bit of luck. As supporters we must get behind the team from the off.

29 Oct 2025 12:50:33
Larry, my unrealistic but admirably optimistic friend, were you surprised we didn’t get anything at Bournemouth?
Look at the facts….
We are in the relegation places, Bournemouth second in the table
We haven’t won since the first game of the season, they haven’t lost since then
We were away from home having played Thursday night, then a days recover, then a day travelling.

They had all week off
Iraola is in his 3rd season with them, Dyche had less than a week.
Give the bloke ( and his team) a chance and give your head a wobble whilst you are at it! ????.

29 Oct 2025 12:53:00
Players during training are wired up like a house alarm monitoring al the streess and strains on there body's, sport scientists, , food prepared by chefs with energy and calories taken into account. At the end though, it's the players responsibility put in the effort as a well paid sportsman!.


As for looking back to Tony Pulis tactics (which are working) , looking forward to seeing the lorry's pulling up at the training ground with builders sand to recreate Mick McCarthys infamous The Hill, sorted the menu from the boys!.

29 Oct 2025 16:43:04
I'd have Skegs as Sports scientist.
Roll up at 2.00pm.
10 press ups
4 pints and a Donor on naan.
As for wired up, skegs is definitely not wired up right. ?.

29 Oct 2025 16:53:56
Harold Larwood, orderd by the Captain to drink 3 pints of mild at lunch, went out and bowled at 96 mph, faster than nearly all modern bowlers, wore his boots our everyday, pure effort and dedication and heart!

29 Oct 2025 18:33:45
That would be 10 pints and donor with bread and butter Larry. and I definitely ain't wired up properly ?.

29 Oct 2025 18:59:38
A rolls Royce doesn't run without lubricant.

29 Oct 2025 19:15:46
Big Larry, I put my house on us not being relegated under Cooper over 2 years ago.
Now I've retired and I'm living in a Castle, and now known as "Lord Rogie! "

???.

29 Oct 2025 19:51:58
Your Grace!

29 Oct 2025 21:13:37
Carlo, my next door neighbour when I lived in Underwood was Ken Harris, brother of the famous Charlie Harris, Nottinghamshires opening batsman during the Larwood Voce era. Ken himself played as a bowler for Notts and knew them both very well.
He told me that Dennis Compton ( playing for Surrey I think), one of the best ever English batsman ( and brycream boy with filmstar good looks ) came back into the changing room having been bowled by Larwood.

He told everyone he was relieved to be out because, in his own words “ That Larwood chap will kill someone one day” …….

29 Oct 2025 21:21:44
Bloody hell stokey it's like jackanory
Your like the uncle Albert from fools and horses ????.

30 Oct 2025 05:17:58
"Vot is your name! "
???.

30 Oct 2025 11:28:12
The film of Harold on the body line tour shows what real heart and commitment are.
Every bit of him went into every ball, Dyche should show it to our underperforming millionaires, a Nottm. man so humble off the field but awesome on it.

28 Oct 2025 19:08:34
Jota Silva would have been more effective and scored more than some of the forwards this season? He's one of the few players we have/ had who can finish well.

In case you weren't aware, he's on loan at Besiktas.

Cuiabano (also on loan in Brazil until January) might have been handy as well.

28 Oct 2025 20:23:15
Kane wouldn't score with our midfield.

28 Oct 2025 20:25:14
Cyclist aina has been a HUGE miss for me, think there's only balloons agreed with me one of our very best players.

28 Oct 2025 20:38:29
And never a truer word spoken balloons
Midfield is the problem, the partnership of Anderson and MGW has to be broken up or we won't change that imo
One dominates and keeps his place the other a liability atm and to lightweight for a dyche scrap.

28 Oct 2025 20:40:15
He definitely is mate.
Lighting quick, massive miss.

28 Oct 2025 21:23:16
Elanga is the real miss look at his goals and assists and lightening pace
All gone
He was our outlet and made space fior our midfield and wood thrived of it
Jesus would have scored hatfuls playing alongside him.

28 Oct 2025 22:53:31
Note Elanga is not in Newcastle first 11. Took get 50 M for him was a good deal.

28 Oct 2025 23:16:26
Really?

29 Oct 2025 08:12:29
Elanga wanted to go couldn't wait to leave good riddance.

29 Oct 2025 10:20:21
Elanga ?? yes massive miss so massive he can't get into the Newcastle first 11 regularly. 50 million well gained. just a shame edu wasted it on worse players living the forest dream.

29 Oct 2025 10:56:26
Never heard any attempt to keep AE, not the finished article but fundamental to our style last season.
He was disappointed not to have started at Wembley, mistake to me.

29 Oct 2025 14:21:57
Yes, Cyclist I would have kept Jota and I said so pre season. Ironically he is a Dyche type player, a grafter who always plays with intensity plus he takes it to the opposition, like Yates, winds them up mate.

29 Oct 2025 17:34:53
Far more committed than current wingers, maybe not so talented but all action.
Heard him being interviewed, Whatever and when ever the manager tells me what to do I give it all!
Don’t see that in the latest incumbents.

29 Oct 2025 22:30:53
Yes, can't do anything but agree with Stokey and carlo, Jota was a good player to have when the chips are down and a solid finisher with bottle.

I don't think keeping Elanga was even on the cards, though. He was having a love in with his Newcastle buddies for ages on social media for everyone to see. His heart wasn't with Forest any more. Never keep a player who wants out.

30 Oct 2025 01:57:27
Also agree that Aina has been missed. He wasn't firing before his injury but he is a skilful player and is experienced. Nuno was right about full back cover.

30 Oct 2025 10:33:58
We could do with Elanga in the side at the moment considering he got 11 goals and 20 assists in 74 league matches for us. Not too shabby when compared to what we are producing at the minute.

30 Oct 2025 15:24:07
Elanga also caused a problem for the opposition coach's tactics trying to contain him, freeing up players and creating space.

28 Oct 2025 16:45:45
Ok my opinion.
1= i'd rather have a rich owner with passion, than an owner without any. looking for dollar signs cutting corners.
2= I'd rather have a coach/ manager, whatever the trendy name is these days, putting himself out there. Listening to the fans opinions. (As the owner should) more meetings with fan club officials may help. Just get the people involved.
(For ignorance will be our downfall. We can all crack on with chefs/ tea ladies/ cleaners etc. But you need them working class hero's to look back at you nervously and think wow. What a man.
Also grow a pair and throw the odd academy laddie out.

We play enough games for taylors sake. We need to start believing in our youth. Not just panic buying. This club to me has always been my heart. Let it beat don't clog it in falsities.
3= players, for me I'd look at the simple game. Who's got the will to win, (not pansy arseholes) but strength. Wanting to work, win the ball, play an easy ball, can hit the net without panic,
4÷ a kick up the arse to our training regimes, they are either not complying to what they are asked, or not training anywhere hard enough. My opinion crack on. FTID.

28 Oct 2025 18:24:02
To back up what Bowie is saying about the owner, I'll post this again.

Comparing Marinakis with previous owners, is exactly what anyone turning on the owners should do. Don't bite the hand that feeds you. The club have been run like a s4it show for years before Marinakis came to Forest.

Marinakis and his lieutenants are not perfect, nobody is. They will make mistakes, like anyone else. But Marinakis appointed Cooper, appointed Nuno, funded our rise to Europe and the Prem. Are you seriously complaining about that? I mean really?

They have also kept together a squad (minus Elanga) that qualified for Europe and added some good young players, many of whom are paying in the toughest league in the world for the first time. If Dyche can only just keep us up then that is a failure and Marinakis will, quite rightly, agree IMO.

So are we blaming the players? The coaches? The owner? Edu? Syrianos? People working under them?

It's obviously complex, and blaming the owner is simplistic nonsense of the first degree. The owner has the club in the best place it has been for decades. THINK ABOUT IT!

In particular, those people who think Dyche being appointed is a good move, should stop saying Edu is the problem when Edu and syrianos appointed Dyche and signed you Douglas Luiz who is, I'm told, one of our saviours.

28 Oct 2025 18:37:13
Superb post Bowie. Particularly, I've been a long-believer that our Academy is an under-funded and under-valued asset of our club which has always had massive untapped potential for Forest - in terms of both emerging talent and, ultimately, money.

28 Oct 2025 18:39:07
No truer word was said Bowie, I'll stick my penny worth in for what it's worth. I can't see us getting more than 30 more points this season, so that's 35 in total. enough to keep us up? Not sure. I've followed forest since 1966, I'm not a true red as I was told you have to go to all the games home and away to be one, lucky ones who can afford it.

I don't think Mr M will walk away if we get relegated, he'd loose face if he did. but that's all perhaps and maybe, let's get behind them Now! And hope the players get their acts together.

28 Oct 2025 19:11:56
Appreciatetion to all of ya reds, going to be a lot of, who thinks right from wrong this season. And a lot of different sides of the fence. But as always. We only want the best.

28 Oct 2025 19:17:54
Vale my friend, never let anyone bully ya on here, just be yourself and belive in what you love. Family, friends, forest. Probably the 1st time I've heard the 3 x f's used that way.

AS TO ALL REDS OUT THERE. Just got to keep believing, moan our way up OR down. It's what we do. But keeps the old ticker racing (ask good old jester) x.

28 Oct 2025 19:41:06
I used to love watching ANY academy player getting a run out. Lego. Think yates is our last, probably wrong, but cannot remember. Surely as I've posted before on here to have hope you need light. If it was my boy showing signs of hope I'd be like ef that, ( to be shown the 3rd division etc) on loan at best.

The young laddies really need a way forward. In Europe, the league cup, fa cup etc etc just give them a run out. Means a lot to me. Been bleating about it for years. Kept us afloat, or has history drowned itself in forgetfulness. Just saying. All about greed now.

28 Oct 2025 19:49:40
Good post Cyclist. I really agree with you in the main.

Couple of points though - firstly Dyche's appointment was not put down as a Big M appointment for PR/ Ego reasons. I think that he realised that he'd screwed-up with Nuno and, in case Dyche's appointment doesn't work out, the guy didn't want blood on his hands for all to see yet again.

Secondly, Dyche himself. Personally, I think he is the perfect appointment. Not a step-backwards in any way IMO. A safe pair of hands when we need it most.

28 Oct 2025 20:09:55
There is no one good enough right now in the academy, it's not underfunded, it's playing catch up from years of trying to produce championship players to producing premier players
I know the under 9 coach and for last three seasons the players have been of better quality each year, bit that takes time to filter through
So much time goes into our academy as well, it will come good but not overnight.

28 Oct 2025 20:31:11
Edu will have signed a 25 million pound player luiz out of a 180 million pounds spent I'm not sure anyone else would pay 25 million fir him at tge minute but he's doing OK anyway hiws the other 155 million going he spent going ???.

28 Oct 2025 20:58:46
Ferrer is the head of recruitment skeggs
How about you give him some grief?
He identified all our signings since 24 and didn't do a bad job at benfica for 17 years doing the same.

28 Oct 2025 21:01:20
I'd love to know how you know our academy dtp been one our differences as you know.

28 Oct 2025 21:33:44
I agree with you DTP, but I'm sure if Cooper was in charge of our Academy he'd certainly accelerate things!

28 Oct 2025 22:01:07
Name a player Bowie that you could put straight into our side?
I can't, simple as that.

28 Oct 2025 22:08:14
Skeeggs and balloons wanted Cooper out lego the rest is history and they are crying because their loved one blew the champions league and then had a vendetta against the owner, but walked away with a swag ???.

28 Oct 2025 22:18:25
Ps lego he's turned brondy into champion material overnight, so doubt he'd be interested taking a step back.

28 Oct 2025 23:32:08
Here we go again DTP! All in good faith, but surely you must agree that with Cooper's proven pedigree at developing young footballing talent, combined with his proven managerial skills of turning losers into winners, he would be a perfect fit to head the Forest Academy?

Personally, I also think he'd bite Big M's hand off if offered the opportunity.

29 Oct 2025 00:25:11
But I'm not at the academy dtp?

29 Oct 2025 10:36:11
I think SC will be the only World Cup Winner who will ever manage us. Like SD and Nuno he achieved incredible things considering the obstacles our owner put in his way….

29 Oct 2025 12:29:45
Olympiacos won a European trophy last year. Greek teams aren't exactly serial winners in Europe. The Europa League 2024 is the ONLY MAJOR EUROPEAN TROPHY a Greek side has ever won. A MONUMENTAL ACHIEVEMENT.

Not sure why you try to diminish Marinakis achievements. We were also out of the Prem for over 20 years and Europe since the last century.

Get real. Sick of the total nonsense.

Bowie, is it the fans than need a red card? ?.

29 Oct 2025 16:32:22
Red from me cyclist ?.

29 Oct 2025 18:38:26
Cyclist chill. maranakis is a good owner but just listens to the wrong advice. It would be like me listening to your advice on football you should stick to what you know about 2 wheels ??.

30 Oct 2025 02:00:56
I'd have probably stuck Abbott, Hutchinson and Angus Gunn in the team last weekend, Jay. It would have either gone exactly as it did or something would finally change. It might boot some of the other players up the backside as well.

28 Oct 2025 16:03:02
Since Mr Marinakis took over at Olympiacos in 2011 he's had 24 managers, does he set the bar too high, inpatient!, t he's had good managers there, he's sacked Silva already there. Is his personality effecting Forest getting a decent coach?, just wish he would take a step back and let the people he employs do there jobs?.

28 Oct 2025 16:13:18
Lost 6 0 to Barcelona last week, their in the champions league but obviously not at that level.

28 Oct 2025 16:43:48
Mossy.
He's definitely without a doubt highly impatient and expects quick results.
Too add to that I'd say he is also greedy with high expectations.
Taking a step would be make sense however he likes to be hand's on albeit too much.
I believe the need for results is part of his business acumen/ ethos being ruthless is probably an afterthought often resulting in firing.


This approach may work in Greece but here establishing a successful Premier League Club and Status takes a long time, patience and deep pockets.

28 Oct 2025 18:13:17
Under Evangelos Marinakis, Olympiacos has achieved significant domestic success, including 11 Greek League titles and a total of 48 Greek League titles as of June 2025. Internationally, the club won its first major European trophy by winning the Europa Conference League in 2024. The club also has a strong European ranking, and Marinakis's ownership has been marked by heavy investment in both the football team and the wider multi-sport club.

I bet Olympiacos fans are gutted! ?.

28 Oct 2025 20:30:33
Well said cyclist but wasted on a few.

28 Oct 2025 21:06:31
A few on this site dtp ?? but in the real world and off this site where there is not many posters nobody cares about what he's done with a poxy greek team in a poxy league they care about forest in the Premier league and how he's messing up with it.

28 Oct 2025 22:39:43
So your actually blaming marinakis then skeggs again?

28 Oct 2025 23:02:01
At least you know who I was talking about skeggs
And knew it was you
Nuno messed it up after 1st of April, picked a good day for you tbh.

29 Oct 2025 06:46:49
Olympiacos was a very successful team before Mr Marinakis, it was the equivalent of buying Liverpool here, apart from a coach called Martin's who got three and half seasons, the rest was lucky to get twelve months, inpatient!.
Not arguing about the amount of money he's put i into Nottingham Forest, but how much has been wasted!, tried to Google players brought by Forest and played less than three games?, I gave up.

Mr Marinakis seems unable to think long term, and relys on advisors who are poor or he just doesn't listen.

29 Oct 2025 09:54:21
Attention!
The mighty prophet DTP has Spoken!
Like Kim Jong Un we are all required to believe what DTP say's.
????.
As usual anyone who contradicts the Prophet is quashed as incorrect!

29 Oct 2025 10:39:15
Good post Mossy. It’s context again mate. I reckon my Mum could win all those titles in a Micky Mouse league the Greeks have. It’s a bit like managing Celtic and Rangers historically.

29 Oct 2025 10:43:30
Olympiacos won a European trophy last year. Greek teams aren't exactly serial winners in Europe. The Europa League 2024 is the ONLY MAJOR EUROPEAN TROPHY a Greek side has ever won. A MONUMENTAL ACHIEVEMENT.

Get real. Sick of the total nonsense.

29 Oct 2025 13:04:30
Another one clinging to my shirt tail ????.

28 Oct 2025 13:39:04
Spoken from the heart, and Hearts are doing very well at the moment!

28 Oct 2025 13:24:42
Question for Edu how did El Junior Kroopi slip through the net for 8m and we landed Kalimuendo for 27m

Because Kroopi looks a player and Kalimuendo should be giving rides on Skeggie beach! ?.

28 Oct 2025 15:53:18
Hey munmad we only have the best donkeys on skegness beach. wouldn't make that team neither ??.

28 Oct 2025 16:14:53
Those Donkeys are now on annual leave, think some of our players are.

28 Oct 2025 20:13:47
Munmad don't encourage thise two
Hiw can anyone say kally is that bad when they've not seen him play like me and everyone else as he's not started a game to even judge
No use saying everyone's doom and gloom munmad and come put with that comment.

28 Oct 2025 09:28:30
Side and formation to beat Man U on Saturday

Sels

Savone
Milenkovic
Murrilo
Williams

Yates
Anderson
Luis
Dominguez

Gibbs White


Jesus

4-4-1-1

Subs Victor Ndoye Hudson Odoi Awoniyi Wood Hutchinson Jair Sangare Abbott.

28 Oct 2025 15:04:40
Since Milenkovic got some stick as did Sels. How about Victor and Jair plus can Abbot play right back? Also Hutchinson made an impact so I would put him in instead of Dominguez. Awonyi rather than Jesus who has not impressed me to date.
Then at least we appear to want to score an elusive goal Let us assume a negative for a minute.

United are on the up, we are on the down. So will MMs team have rejuvenated by Saturday? That will be on SDs head. I hope and expect he has been tough with them this week. There is a need to keep a team I agree but also time to change.

28 Oct 2025 19:30:07
Hutchinson should be playing, he can't play in europa and he won't get better sitting on the bench, I would give him a run of pl games see what he can do.

28 Oct 2025 21:06:54
Monty very sensible as you say
But dyche will flog a few players to death and play them against Leeds I'm afraid
Looks like he won't use sangare and Yates is ahead
Awoniyi and wood will be preffered to jesus and kally because of physical presence,
Said it before and really hope I'm wrong but it's megson all over again.

31 Oct 2025 13:12:08
After all of our signings, if Yates is still in the team I'm off to watch county. Seen more flapping in the ground than on the river trent.

Dyche is only in the seat to get us out of the Championship next year - we are in good hands as Farkle (1st choice) looks like he will still be in a job.

The fragile bubble has burst - get over it. After all, We still don't have a goto striker after all these years and our keeper (say no more). its hardly suprising we are were we are.

Nuno was performing a minor miracle almost getting us into the champions league.

28 Oct 2025 09:17:16
Dark at 5 o clock cold windy and so called Forest fans on here saying relegation is nailed on after 9 games!

Get a grip for fgs! Bournemouth away was always going to be a point at best and we were outplayed admittedly

There is no reason at all why we can't win our next 3 games Man U have found some form but we are more than capable of 3 pts against them especially with a weeks recuperation and as for Graz and Leeds I fancy us to win both of those

I am a Faithful I'll leave you gloom and doom merchants to be the traitors and sabotage what Dyche and his staff are trying g to build.

28 Oct 2025 10:39:57
Well said Munmad!

28 Oct 2025 11:18:14
That's called thinking with your heart munmad and not your head mate no offence
Let's Hooe the heart wins.

28 Oct 2025 11:40:01
I have every confidence that SD will keep us up!

28 Oct 2025 13:07:47
He will!

28 Oct 2025 14:00:50
Sean Dyche may well keep us up?, if he does it will be a new coach for the start of next season ?.

28 Oct 2025 14:08:21
Being faithful doesn't put any points on the board.
People just watch and analyse and give their point of view on how we are performing, and the answer is it's a shambles.
Will we go down? I don't think so
How high will we finish? Bottom half with Dyche.
He knows nothing else.

28 Oct 2025 15:41:31
Posted on Everton Banter for there opinions on Sean Dyche, one posted wait for him saying "Hard Yards", he said it after Bournemouth!, it will become his catch phase like Warburton's "Funeral Margins", it would be great if a coaching team with Forest connections did well, but unfortunately they will be fighting for survival!.

28 Oct 2025 16:52:21
"Fine" margins? that's a Freudian slip, ?.

28 Oct 2025 17:11:55
Au contraire Larry my friend…. “ bottom half… he knows nothing else “ however he did get mighty Burnley into Europe during his tenure ?.

28 Oct 2025 20:16:01
Think your clutching at straws balloons dyche gone by Xmas is my forecast.

31 Oct 2025 13:17:33
OK so we have twice as many fixtures with twice as many players.

However, the forest way is to not use half the squad

So we have twice as many fixtures with half the squad

Getting to the ball first gets harder, running back gets harder, first touch gets harder - finding the target has always been hard.

Unless we start using the squad we are doomed for Championship and Dyche will get us back up at first attempt.

Morning all I don’t see where the next league win is coming from. Nailed on relegation favourites now, what a sorry mess. Still the players will jump ship with multi million pound deals at other clubs leaving us fans wondering where we go next.

If still in dire trouble, I would sell the lot in January, take the medicine and start again in the championship with players who actually are proud to wear the shirt.

28 Oct 2025 06:46:51
Nailed on mate.
I can’t see us getting anything against Leeds or Man U, can you?

28 Oct 2025 06:54:19
Im hoping dyche can turn it around. I would hate to go back to championship football after the last couple of seasons he has a massive job on his hands and fair play to the bloke for stepping in when nobody else would touch the job. and I'm hoping a couple of draws and clean sheets but my heads saying a loss in both games.

28 Oct 2025 07:10:13
We will not be relegated. just my opinion lads.

28 Oct 2025 08:06:49
On paper I can't see us getting anything against man utd in their current form, but depends on the team dyche puts out and hus tactics
We've already seen the side he put out against Bournemouth lack any cutting edge before he arrived, so hopefully he'll have learned a try something different
You never know in football the outcome on the day, a sending off early or a slice of luck can soon change a game, so I'll look forward to watching and won't be leaving my seat early even if we get battered
Leeds are a poor side that struggle to score and tbh if we get nothing from that game then dyche will not get points before Xmas and the revolving door will be back in action
The sturm graz game needs to be used to blood some of the new signings and try a different approach imo.

The actions of two men looks like having dire effects all round at the CG.

28 Oct 2025 08:16:15
Aye up the suns out and so is carlo
How about three men?

Did anyone notice a smirk on Anderson’s face on Sunday ( we were 2-0 at that stage ). All this gossip, his England call ups must affect him. In the same way we see MGWs game affected, although he has his faults, he takes his game seriously. They both see their future away from the CG, I suspect.

Reading between the lines is that why Mactee was bought? SD will see all this and it would not surprise me if there are some radical changes on Saturday. SD saved Burnley ( with Wood again ), sorted out Everton and will do the same for Forest.

DTP it’s a pity we are out of the League Cup after spaffing a lead away. We could have used that to try out new players and tactics rather than the Europa, a back door to the Champions League ( as per Spurs )

28 Oct 2025 19:33:30
Still on our day with the team firing we should not be afraid of anyone, the turmoil of the summer and the poor run at the end of the season some of the team have lost the confidence and swagger, hopefully with a bit of time SD can bring that back.

Brendan Rogers leaving Celtic will give the pundits a stick to beat Dyche with every time they lose a game, supposed to be a favourite of Mr Marinakis?.

28 Oct 2025 13:57:19
Silva or Rogers will be in at the end of the season if Dyche only just keeps us up with this squad.

28 Oct 2025 14:12:20
I'd take him above all the other Z listers candidates being banded about.

28 Oct 2025 18:55:29
We could have offered Celtic Ange in exchange for Rogers.

They love Ange at Celtic. He'll probably get appointed there now and then knock us out of the Europa League as Celtic boss!

I threw a ball for my dog the other day. A bit extravagant I know, but he looks great in a tuxedo. ?????.

On a lighter note.

Just heard that Yoko Ono is going into the jungle on "I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here". She said she was confident of winning as she's lived on a dead Beatle for 40 years. ???

Male and female whales are swimming together when they spot a whaler armed with harpoons coming after them. The male says " Look, they're catching up on us. Let's get underneath the boat and spout together and that might capsize them "
Desperate, they do this and sure enough the boat is turned upside down.
Seeing the crew swimming in the water, the male says "Let's finish them all off by gobbling them up "
The female says " No way. I don't mind doing a blow job but I'm not swallowing the seamen" ???

My wife knows nothing about football. I asked her this morning if she liked George Best and she said no, I prefer Zippy and Bungle. ??.
