Nottingham Forest banter 7

22 Oct 2026 21:51:49
Been thinking who mcatee reminds me of
Gorge grant
Same build same position
Same outcome.

23 Oct 2026 04:45:32
Except he could take a decent free kick.

23 Oct 2026 06:14:18
Played like "Eddie" Grant.
?.

23 Oct 2026 09:37:50
5 nil forest tonight coyrrrrrsss.

23 Oct 2026 09:59:28
He reminds me of George out of the kids programme Rainbow ?.

23 Oct 2026 10:02:40
We are deffo going to give someone a hammering before long.

23 Oct 2026 10:08:19
Has anyone seen the adult version of Rainbow on U Tube???
Hilarious!

23 Oct 2026 10:20:39
Ues rogie ?.

23 Oct 2026 12:56:10
Hugh Grant had his chance but he "Blower it".

23 Oct 2026 19:04:03
Not seen that Rogie, but Rainbow does TopGear was hilarious!

23 Oct 2026 19:36:14
Can hear him now ginger, ahhh ahhh I wanna be the next coach Jeffrey ???.

23 Oct 2026 19:57:43
Richard E. Grant is a traitor.

22 Oct 2026 20:36:07
Feel sorry for Hutchinson, he's been the sacrifice in the sending off fiasco! Was looking forward to watching him play, bah! On to Coronation Street now and my avatar Reg Holdsworth! ☹.

22 Oct 2026 20:57:01
Milan have been terrible RHR, just shows the power of the Premier League now. ?.

22 Oct 2026 21:02:48
Amorin back in England for another Amorin.
Totally undisciplined side.

22 Oct 2026 19:36:46
Hutchinson starting down on the South Coast tonight, be interesting if he puts in a decent performance in front of the English cameras. ?.

22 Oct 2026 20:05:06
Yes RRH, he's in the starting 11. Nasty weather. Hope he scores a hat-trick and shoves it up Glasner and Mr Ms noses! Although if he does they might not release him early ?.

23 Oct 2026 07:45:19
Noses would be a little polite, i was thinking where the sun doesn't shine. But yeah i was hoping the same. Shame really, such a waste of money on our part. The kinda player that gets you off your seat. ?.

22 Oct 2026 12:38:29
Skysports news: Good little interview with Neco, lifting the lid on life under Glasner and learning to play wingback. ??.

22 Oct 2026 14:57:23
Also its making me so disenchanted with football, reading about the City manager discussing the title race. They need their punishment asap. ?.

22 Oct 2026 19:57:35
No to sure this is a total fact,but i was led to believe city can be suspended by the premier league at any time by the Premier league.
Its a farce that they are allowed to appeal when punishment has been handed out.

22 Oct 2026 20:46:31
No punishment.

22 Oct 2026 20:55:44
Yeah agreed, and for what its worth i believe you are right about the League having the power to suspend a team. Surely they have had enough time by now to access their appeal and have made their minds up.

That fact that its all gone very quiet again worries me. Dodgy bungs and bribes going on behind the scenes again? Just dock them 100pts now and decide which league they fall too at the end of the season after negotiating with the lower leagues(the Premier League negotiating).

If there were updates from the Premier League it wouldn't look so suspect. ?.

22 Oct 2026 21:13:19
They have to be kicked out of the leagues altogether
We got 4 points for one breach after an appeal
So 115 x 6 is 690 point deduction before appeal ?
Thats a kicking out offence and the owners should be barred from owning a football club.

23 Oct 2026 07:58:26
The new football regulator should be looking at it, falls into fit and proper ownership. ?.

23 Oct 2026 12:37:52
Spot on dtp ???.

23 Oct 2026 17:00:26
I'd imagine the other club owners ( especially ours and Everton's ) would be taking it to court if it's not 4 points deducted per offence.
Remember, we co operated fully too whereas City have blocked and swerved it for many years.

22 Oct 2026 06:47:33
The poor form goes back to last season when we got 4 home wins in the League, swapping and changing the coach might have played a big part in that?, Glasner didn't start bad with Liverpool draw Spurs draw and a win at Villa, I'm sure Mr Marinnakis minions is already seeking out Glasners replacement, but until then he gets my backing and the statement "Playing the Forest way" is getting to sound like West Ham supporters who think no coach is good enough for them!.

22 Oct 2026 11:07:16
Great post Mossy. I've been calling out for stability and giving managers time since Cooper was sacked. That includes Glasner.
But I'm afraid that with our trigger happy owner OGs reign may be coming to a premature end. I hope for his sake ( and ours) we get a win at Ipswich.

If not that would be one win in 9 with Manchester City to come. I admire DTPs positivity ( and Skegs before he lost faith) but the reality is Mr M has sacked people with much better records than OG at the moment.

22 Oct 2026 12:02:28
I would dearly embrace stability at our club, especially after last season. Towards the end of last season Forest played some great football, scored lots of goals in the process. I saw players enjoying playing in a Forest shirt, and that's the reason they got the results.


I now see unhappy players, whether that be the head coach OG, the system they have to play OG, or the team selection OG!
I've said it before, if it stays like this through December we will lose our better players in the January window, because they are not happy!

22 Oct 2026 15:23:33
There is no doubt in my mind that we stick with OG. I can't think that he came to this club purely for financial reward. Also he will have looked at the current players and believed he could give Big M what he wants before accepting the offer here. How do you rate a manager?

In part it must be winning cups, OG ticks that box with CP and a German club. To know how he gets on with his players, it's them you have to ask or players and fans at his previous clubs. He is tough ( note Ferguson and BC ) and not all players like that. Like us they need to see his system producing results.

A win on Friday I believe will see us taking off. We have not had a manager before who has had the success that OG has. SC had the best relationship with us as fans but not the acumen to lead the team to the top, but he will never be forgotten.

It's true Nuno and VP got the same group of players believing in themselves. There is no evidence that OG has anything other than a good relationship with his players, therefore a steady improvement will occur. All of us need to get behind the manager and the team as occurred vs Arsenal, where a point would have been a fair result.

22 Oct 2026 15:52:10
What about us who have to sit and watch? 5 home games no goals, fans will soon turn if no quick climb up the table,another shot in the foot.
CARLO.

22 Oct 2026 15:55:33
Agree totally?.

22 Oct 2026 19:58:32
For once I totally disagree with you Mossy. Every club should have its own identity and 'personality', derived from their many years of existence. Frankly, I don't care about West Ham or their supporters. Personally, I love the term 'Playing the Forest way' - for me and I'm sure many others, it defines who we have been for so many years as a club (and should be now.).

Playing with the ball on the grass in a quick, aggressive counter-attacking style. Players playing with passion for the badge and our great history as a forerunner shaping football nationally from a grass-roots level. Always the underdogs, yet mostly defying the odds.

That is the 'Forest way'. I'm certainly proud of it.

22 Oct 2026 20:12:27
Playing the Forest way to me,someone's who's been going 69 years is playing with at least one and often two exciting match winning wingers.
Over this time going back to Dwight and Imlach the flanks at the CG have aways generated real attacking excitement.
CARLO.

22 Oct 2026 20:59:07
Theres only one way that matters in the end,a winning way
Like ive said before we no one would be moaning about Glasner had we put away our chances against palace.

Ndoye, Wood, MGW, Delap, Munoz all guilty of missing sitters
What some of you can't understand is the lack of composure from the whole team at set pieces particulary,open play we create some good ones,woods against arsenal,should have buried it end of but messed it up.

I want to see Williams barred from taking any as he's 24 carat garbage at it and mcatee sold on East Gate Market.

22 Oct 2026 23:53:51
We're playing c*** football and not winning any games. Time to get real now and be honest with ourselves. We'll be relegated this season if things don't change.

23 Oct 2026 17:02:24
It's not what you were saying when Dyche was in charge and ( allegedly) playing in the same style. He got more points per game too.

21 Oct 2026 23:45:31
Reds plz plz. It isn't just who we need next. The lot of them including most of you lot,the heart has gone, can't ya see it. We don't play these days from the heart, but a dismal formation. Like a landslide of sheep crushing us. I just cannot for my life single a laddie up for the badge.

And for me. That hurts. I just cannot see anyway forward apart from the greek hanging his xxxxl large suit up and giving the youngen some responsibility. Pi$$ing against the wind comes to mind. I love this club, all my heart. And see zero positive. Just my opinion FTID.

21 Oct 2026 19:06:47
I've just got home, forgot about the early kickoff tonight. Man U???.

21 Oct 2026 19:28:34
If he go's can he take Oliie "Disaster" with him???

21 Oct 2026 19:44:57
Como were very good. They had plenty of "Magic Moments” such that " It's Impossible " that Man Utd would get anything from the game.
Despite Bruno Fernandez throwing himself to the ground at every opportunity. Talk about " Catch a Falling Star”.????.

21 Oct 2026 20:01:53
Be careful or you,ll end up in PERRY Rd.
??‍♀️??‍♀️??⛓️?️?️
CARLO.

21 Oct 2026 20:38:39
Excellent Carlo ! ???.

21 Oct 2026 20:50:07
I played football against Perry Rovers many years ago ( all inmates except one, the coach). Obviously at the prison ground which is very good. Fences were a bit high for my liking.


Very good team and hard as nails as you can imagine.
We beat them and went for a pint after, asked em to join us but they declined for some reason I could never work out.

21 Oct 2026 21:11:05
Played there as well Gazzi " Catchers v Keepers”. Always got on with the Prison Officers and the social club afterwards was very good. I read a book many years ago ( can't remember the writer or title, still got it somewhere) about a prisoners team coached by a prison officer. They had some very good players but, as you say, always played at home.

21 Oct 2026 21:14:06
Manslaughter Utd by Chris Hulme ( the author was the Prison Officer)

21 Oct 2026 21:17:25
Correction 2 Prison Officers. The writer was embedded with the team and wrote about their season. Great read.

21 Oct 2026 22:29:38
Well thats a great blast from the past ?

21 Oct 2026 22:55:06
Going back to my original post, lets hope Carrick stays as long as possible because Utd are literally imploding. ??.

21 Oct 2026 23:25:18
Beats talking about perry road winter
Funnily enough been working there last two weeks ???.

21 Oct 2026 23:37:54
Got nothing up front winter
Why would any club buy the likes of santos and telemans and bieleba ?
When they have an an abundence of midfield talent and certainly didn't need that many no goalscoring ones?

21 Oct 2026 23:44:38
I actually see utd getting Eddie howe dtp.

21 Oct 2026 23:53:05
They have an unbalanced squad, bowie.
Nothing to work on.

21 Oct 2026 23:55:17
That's not a bad shout Bowie, unfortunately for everyone else, i think he'd do very well there. ?.

22 Oct 2026 00:05:02
DTP, recruitment for them has been appalling mate, they have one injury prone left back, Rashford who blows hot and cold more often than an artic brass on heat down the left. And they pay out a hundred odd million for Santos and Teletubbimans. They should go all out for Sir Gareth, then at least the Manchester Darby would be back on in the Championship. ?.

21 Oct 2026 17:26:27
I'm massively in favour of starting with Yates for the Ipswich game. Lets get a leader out there and get physical.

21 Oct 2026 18:16:20
Love your posts lately cyclist, know we've had our past run ins. But everything your saying lately I agree with. But lately show me a leader from any of this lot. Not gonna go into the usual predictions posts from myself (most tongue in cheek btw) but I swear reds I could cry blood,from owner to backroom staff.

Don't you lot tell me this is forest football moving forward even if he does get a cpl of wins I'd probably drop off watching them. I just can't see light tbh from owner. Del boy will be selling the f kr holy water next.

21 Oct 2026 18:39:20
Not the Yates card. hes crap hopefully gone January then we wont after talk about him again.

21 Oct 2026 19:05:02
We need some grit in the team. Milenkovic and Yates should start. Sick of watching big lumps like Delap go down whenever someone breathes on them. It's pathetic.

21 Oct 2026 21:03:52

Yes but we don't need s*** in the team ???

21 Oct 2026 18:23:24
Glasner, I've heard more interesting posts on John Craven's countryfile. He couldn't herd 3 x sheep into a mile wide gate yet alone whistle when ya need it. Loser. Dark nights destroyer.

21 Oct 2026 23:38:55
Love it Bowie and couldn't agree more.

21 Oct 2026 23:50:19
Perko the tide will turn mate
Can't blame glasner for all those missed chances against palace and wood against arsenal ?
Results aren't what i wanted,i don't get mcatee in particular or n'doye
But we create alot of chances and very good ones at that
Like ive said many times,set piece delivery is so poor and has been since henry lansbury
Its such an important part of the modern game
I can't remember one goal we've scored from a free kick in five years
Thats shocking.

21 Oct 2026 19:44:37
100% agree with you Cyclist. As we all know, Yates is far from perfect. However, I think when he does play his determination and natural leadership shines-through and he has a positive effect on the whole team.

I'm not a massive fan of those obsessed with formations. However, it is, obviously, an important subject. I'd love to see Forest try a 4-4-2 again - with the midfield in a diamond shape as King Billy excelled at (before he went totally mad.).

More attacking, dynamic and much more the 'Forest Way'.

Obviously, I realise change is impossible under OG - but worth dreaming about for a while..

22 Oct 2026 01:42:59
When the chips are down, flexibility and spirit are massive. We need it to start from the boss!

21 Oct 2026 19:04:37
Yates definitely needs looking, McAtee, Sangare and Ndoye need a trip to the abattoir. ?.

22 Oct 2026 10:59:25
I agree with you both Cyclist and Lego about Yates for the reasons you say. However, atm, he is down the pecking order for the one of the 2 holding midfielder spots. Obviously OG isn't going to drop his man Schlager ( who is doing very well anyway) which leaves McAtee alongside him, who he seems hellbent on playing there. Even against Arsenal he left him there with Dominquez playing further forward. I'd have thought McAtee is the natural replacement for MGW in the number 10 role should he be unavailable. On such decisions are the fates of £13 million managers decided.


ATM Yates is 3rd or 4th down the line behind Sanghere and Dominquez, clearly more technically gifted players But Yates brings graft, aggression, workrate and spirit to any team.
As Napoleon said, " Morale is more important than numbers in a proportion of 3 to 1”.
Nelson advised his Captains before battle " if the course of action is unclear, no Captain can do very wrong if he lays his ship alongside an enemy”
On that basis, with Skeggs record of always being wrong about everything he posts, I'd ignore his assessment of Yates and you won't go far wrong.???.

21 Oct 2026 16:27:51
I've just watched OG give his press conference for the Ipswich game.
He has no personality whatsoever! He has no get up and go!
He does sound inspiring to me!
He said the Ipswich game is a must win game for Forest!
He said the system is working very well, we just need luck scoring goals and more luck stopping goals going in!
I think my granddaughter could have told us that ? ? ?.

21 Oct 2026 17:32:18
You only noticing now mate? ?.

21 Oct 2026 18:15:39
????
CARLO.

21 Oct 2026 18:56:12
Maybe its all part of his tactical genius, bore the opposition to sleep. Then a few Red Bulls and GOAL!

21 Oct 2026 22:46:59
We'll beat ipswich
Tightened the defence bringing cuhna back
And the tide has to turn on missing chances
Confident on that.

21 Oct 2026 10:27:14
In the forlorn hope that this will happen my team to beat Ipswich on Friday

Sels

Williams
Cunha
Diamonde
Netz

Schlager
Murrilo

Munoz
Gibbs White
Hudson Odoi

Delap.

21 Oct 2026 10:47:29
Diego Forlan? So Van Persie and Forlan? Could they play together during Steve Austins flatulence? Desperate journalism imo. Anyways I'm off to specsavers, laters gents?.

21 Oct 2026 10:51:46
Munmad mate,thats a terrible set up.

21 Oct 2026 11:28:02
Any do any worse mate.

21 Oct 2026 13:04:36
I believe he'll cost around "6 Million"
???.

21 Oct 2026 13:08:09
Rogie, is that in dollars? ?.

21 Oct 2026 15:34:27
Play 4:4:1:1 like we did under Cloughie. MGW in the Nigel Clough role. We'd probably need Hutchinson and Bakwa to get enough pace on the flanks though.

21 Oct 2026 15:57:20
532. Munoz & Williams / Aina wide, Cunha/Dio, Milenkovic & Murillo at the back.
Austrian Larger, Yates & Dominguez cross the middle. That leaves MGW free up top alongside Delap. The one thing that provides is energy up top & in midfield, perfect for high pressing.

The Serbinater will provide dominance at the back with two more skillful and able passers each side of him. Munoz has the engine to get up and down, so the left side is Williams or Aina or both, with the other ready to replace the knackered starter. ?.

21 Oct 2026 18:25:50
No goals from that side though 2 defensive midfielders make us worse.
Yates certainly isn't the answer.
Sangare well ahead of him.

21 Oct 2026 18:26:23
Sorry 3 defensive midfielders.

21 Oct 2026 19:14:42
And that's putting the "Arm" in Red Robin.
???.

21 Oct 2026 18:52:11
Defensive or combative? Combative midfielders press in behind the front two trapping a side in their own quarter. Baring a few handy forward players the Tractor Boys don't have anyone especially expansive at the back. Well apart from Davis who'd be occupied by Munoz.

How do you know Yates isn't the answer? He's hardly been given a sniff this season, granted, i know where you are coming from, but someone needs to play devils advocate, because there is no way in hell that Glasner will revert to starting a back four.

And again McAtee shouldn't be anywhere the starting eleven, he can warm the bench with the other waste of space, Dan 'The Headless Chicken' Ndoye. ??.

21 Oct 2026 23:32:40
Winter i don't get mcatee or ndoye
Last chance salloon for them friday because they will start
Or if glasner can't see their failings then its last chsnce salloon for him
What i will say is i love arrogant people that can back up their belief though
While i don't see it and most forest fans don't either,i wouldn't write him off.

22 Oct 2026 00:12:13
Yeah, as much as i hate the style of play, his total lack of anything interesting personality wise, there are a few green shoots of promise with our play, was impressive defensive wise vs Arsenal and we created enough to win, just look at what they did tonight against Bayern. ?.
