Scouseduckred.
Saving my top for next year.
Judging by the season price hike the new tops will cost an arm and a leg.
Forestcannon.
A change is as good as a rest.
Need a change of scenery from time to time.

Who's your keepers for next season boys.
Sels. Done well, unfairly criticised.
MGW. O. K. but not as good as people try to make out. Likes playing for nuno though so there's hope.
Aina, Class with more to come
Elanga. More to come, Great prospect
CHO Absolute class player of the season
Morillo, saved him till last. Love him to bits but a lot to learn. All over the place for Chelsea goals All the talk of a top 6 transfer is rubbish. No where near good enough. Still learning his trade. If he could head like Burns and Lloyd the yes.
Bin the rest off from top to bottom 🎈.

Domingues, Yates for the rough and tumble games but not all games. Toffolo as a sub but again same reasons as Yates. Awoniyi if he wasn't made of glass. Yeah struggle to think of many of the 40 odd players who are keepers to be honest. Talking of which anybody know how Aguilera got on in his loan spell.

This humble pie is going down quite well. Especially with an ice cold pint. Got to have a minute, though. I've got a lot more to get through. 🥧🥧🍺🍺.

12 May 2024 15:26:44
Fair play mate.

12 May 2024 16:34:14
. and don't forget a few frothy one's to wash it down with mate! 🍻🍻🍻.

12 May 2024 17:02:39
You don't give a flying V D3rby 🤣🤣🎈.

12 May 2024 17:22:01
Don't mind if I do, Rogie. 🍺🍺🍺🍻.

12 May 2024 13:08:32
One thing I will add though, forget the complaining about bad luck etc, it all evened itself out at 5pm yesterday……, the good will out …….

12 May 2024 12:04:15
Must haves for next season

1. GK preferably Sam Johnstone
2. CF I'd go for Cameron Archer
3. DM
4. LB

If we keep MGW and Murrilo that's all we need imo

As for Nuno I'd give him the pre season and see where we are at the end of September with 8 games gone.

Munmad, I was very cross last night and have had the chance to sober up and reflect.

No point sacking Nuno, football has been good to watch :

1. It’s not his fault we have 13 decent players
2. It’s not his fault we don’t take chances
3. It’s not has fault at least 10% of those players are either injured or at a football tournament.
4. It’s not his fault we have a pathetic transfer policy

Mr M, if you repeat the same stupid scattergun approach to signings as you have for the last 7 seasons forget any plans you have for us. Please sort this out and give a coach a chance to build. If you sack Nuno it’s Groundhog Day and another scattergun summer. You’re a very clever man but a goldfish would learn quicker.

12 May 2024 13:13:52
No that's true 2 stars you could say both Nuno and Cooper were dealt cack cards. But Nuno is a wet fish, very uninspiring. I speak to Wolves fans here in the West mids and as much as they liked Nuno they said he got lucky with the players he had and wouldn't have him back. Personally with Cooper I just think it got too much for him with the influx of players, all the other shenanigans going on at the club, you could tell in his body language. Now give Nuno the proper tools without interference and he may do OK but I just don't see it. I also don't think Marinkissmyarse will change his ways so whoever is the coach will inherit the same issues. So next season whether they would stay or not it looks likely we will sell good players because we overspent, so you now got to replace those players with equal or better. That's 2 seasons of uncertainty because our owners went nuts with the cash, even after being warned from within and outside the club.

I enjoyed a lovely afternoon at the boat club yesterday, the main topic was how much does forest have to find to escape more points next season. Most fans thought it was around 35 mil. If that’s the case then surely we could get rid of some fringe players without selling MGW MURILLO, with the exception of woods the team yesterday put a shift in and yes the substitutions were the undoing for us. Wood should have gone at half time. Have we progressed this season, I don’t know. As my old school reports used to say SHOULD HAVE DONE BETTER.

12 May 2024 14:10:58
Sadly …. :I agree with your evaluation on whether things behind the scenes will change.

12 May 2024 14:17:51
Don't allow the African players to play a month long tournament in January/ February. That'll give us 5/ 6 players back. Or don't sign so many African players. I'm sure that is racist is some way but hey-ho.

12 May 2024 14:37:04
It's not racist at all D3rby. It's fact. Big mistake signing so many. It's not as though they are cheap either. Sangare how much?

12 May 2024 14:44:08
No it’s discriminatory by the epl mate as I’m sure some African players miss out on being signed, it’s also unfair to clubs like forest who have to sign African players to have a a chance of competing.

12 May 2024 14:47:28
Red, I agree, but let’s be honest it’s ridiculous that we collapse when we bring a player off who we know maybe isn’t the highest calibre yet we have a 35mullion quid signing who we won’t even bring on because he’s that s***. That one thing alone tells you all that is wrong with us. Should have been Yates coming on for sangare tell help us manage the game out, not Yates coming off because he’s ran himself into the ground because that t*** is too w***k to even be considered.

12 May 2024 15:09:18
For once Derby we agree.

12 May 2024 15:23:45
Day it as you mean it 2stars.
Probably our worse signing EVER.

12 May 2024 17:09:54
Spot on post 2stars as usual🎈.

12 May 2024 10:03:13
Ok, so my take away from the game yesterday, having watched it on the tellybox.

Substitutions were not needed. But, Nuno loves to tinker for no real reason. As ass as they came on the dynamic was massively changed. Montiel and Niakhate were doing fine and Nuno should have left well alone. Having said that Montiel was at fault for their first. I would say I was absolutely astounded by our defending in the last 10-15 mins, but we've done this so many time this season that sadly nothing astounds me anymore.

Toffs is not premier league.
Murillo is a beast and we need to go all out to hang onto him.
We played stupid tippy-tappy football with trick back heels and lost the ball. This needs to stop. At one point we literally looked like we were trying to showboat when we needed to keep it simple.

Wood is too slow. I watched him in a race with Tiago Silva, who at 39, skinned him and got to the ball first. And he's seemingly gone back to his worst again: missing sitters because he cannot shift his feet quick enough.

We need to keep Sels, he a pretty decent stopper. it's the defence in front of him that needs sorting; the way we backed off from Stirling was schoolboy stuff. it's not as if he's an unknown entity in the footballing world and everyone knows what he is capable of.
And how many times did we let Jackson waltz through into our box?

CHO is a classy player when his confidence is high. Let's hope he maintains it for next season.

I did feel sorry for Luton and Burnley. said nobody EVER. Gobby Kompany and mardy-arse Edwards. although I rate both as decent managers, more so Edwards. Get him in for Nuno?

Overall, we put in a decent performance other than the last 10-15 mins. Some snappy tackles, some great passes, marred by some woeful defensive lapses.

Onwards and upwards as surely Luton and Forest can't overcome or screw up a 12 goal goal-difference. can we?

12 May 2024 05:02:43
Some interesting posts to read through. It seems the site is split again like it was before cooper got the sack. Should we keep Nuno? Does he deserve a pre-season and to be able to shape his squad? I see no big difference between the two other than Nuno block is slightly higher than coopers ultra low one. We do seem a little more capable under Nuno but have severe defensive issues.

12 May 2024 07:39:14
To be fair mate even if we bought a new manager in he will play the same sort of system that the players are use to playing nunos not been great but end of day he's kept us up ok with 3 worse teams below us but same could be said for last season I'm just happy we've stopped up wether Nuno keeps his job or not that's upto big m but if he does decide to get rid do it after last game not halfway through preseason recruitment and keeping our best players and getting rid of a lot of crap smaller squad a priority and needs sorting straight away let's see what happens.

12 May 2024 08:17:37
BTW Skeggs. dead right about Clough and Taylor. brilliant era, no VAR, mo snoods, no slippers for boots, no stocking for socks. just brilliant characters from nearly every club never mind ours.
Worthington, Currie, Bowles, Brady, Best, to name a few. all just robots now.

12 May 2024 08:29:06
Watched match of the day, praise from all panellists, overflowing with respect. They acknowledged all our good play, goals and great achievement to stay in the prem.
Cannot see what all the fuss is about Sheared and co., Actually saying nothing at all, why don't they just say, "we want you down", be bloody honest, but you can't.

12 May 2024 08:48:03
I’m pretty sure Marankis won’t want another season just scraping survival. If anybody saw his interview after Olympiacos game the other day, he said he was confident we’d stay up, and that he has ‘big plans’ for Forest, so he seems very committed still, but let’s hope he has learnt from his mistakes, and gets the right people doing the right jobs! That would be a start!

12 May 2024 09:13:45
Agreed mate 100%. my ticker won't take another ending like the previous 2!

12 may 2024 09:22:23
Agreed socks, we should all boycott sky sports and bbc. mod anybody that's pays for opinions from the Neville chap and those idiots on motd should be switched off.
