It must be difficult for the players having so many managers so quickly. Such different styles.
Nuno playing without the ball and relying on fast breaks, Ange playing vintage Man Utd football but without the players to do it.

Dyche playing a brand of old English football, not a lot on the floor, Vitor playing Billy Walker, Johnny Carey football, a pleasure to watch,now OG with his wingless wonders, hard on the eye.
Mr M. certainly knows how to pick um.


In football you need consistency and lack of it can be costly.

Good point carlo, palace will be up for it next week then arsenal and the cheats in quick succession. If we don't get anything from those games I think MR M should swallow his pride and try and get VP back, I just don't think the team have bought into Glasner and his system.

05 Oct 2026 12:21:20
Both brilliant posts Vale and Carlo, Exactly what I've been banging on about.

05 Oct 2026 12:57:04
England won the World Cup with wingless wonders, though they were boring as hell, and the fact that Storey - Moore only played a few times still rankles.

05 Oct 2026 13:16:38
ISM won one cap 1970 I believe.
Although the 66 side played without wingers there were very talented players on the side,all had very notable careers and Ramsey created a strong spirit.
At present I wouldn't compare the current Forest side to them but I would compare Vitors team to the great 67 team we had.


Let's hope they adapt to the current thinking or Mr M will be forced to pull the trigger again causing more chaos.

According to John Percy of the Athletic we beat Swansea 3 nil in a behind closed doors friendly yesterday.
Goals from McAtee and Delap
Milenkovic got 45 mins and should be available for Palace.
No further details as to line ups or venue etc.

04 Oct 2026 16:05:28
Crystal Palace lost their friendly with Bristol City, losing 0-2!

04 Oct 2026 19:25:51
Stokey, apparently it was meant to be a proper behind closed doors match, scores vary from 3-0, 2-0 and 2-1, depending on where you read it, but 2-0 is the most common. Looking at the pictures that I've seen, it looks to have been played at the training ground. All abit cloak and dagger. 🌳.

Morning everyone 😁.living the glasner mr m dream 😁.

05 Oct 2026 08:58:27
Yes I did correct it to 2 nil and blamed it on my sausage fingers but it slipped through Ed's net mate. Hence 2 scorers. I was in Worksop on Saturday and Manchester yesterday so didn't have much time to research the game. I'll have a browse on Swansea s site today.

05 Oct 2026 15:28:34
Not much information out there folks except that Swansea played a virtual 2nd 11 with no fewer than 13 players on international duties and 3 injured .

Excellent Mossy 😂😂😂.

03 Oct 2026 16:29:48
So Scott gets an England start before MGW, what the he'll is Tom Turtle thinking. Yes, Scott is a decent player, but he's not got the figures of MGW! Fair play to MGW for sitting on the bench and not catching the next plane to Dubai to finish his family holiday!

03 Oct 2026 17:24:04
Never mind England are playing like Spain 😅😅.

03 Oct 2026 17:43:39
Beautiful cross just as the commentary team question the RB selection🤣, to be fair i did last time Quansah was selected. Gordono has definitely stepped up since moving to Barca. 🌳.

03 Oct 2026 17:50:37
Turtles stepping up. hes turning into ninja turtle 😆.

03 Oct 2026 18:30:03
Spot on skegs 🤣.

03 Oct 2026 18:57:07
As good as we played, by heck the Croats were terrible. You know its bad when the free ticketed school kids leave early. 🌳.

04 Oct 2026 09:06:54
You also know that wharever England do its never good enough for some on here. We won 7-0 away against the 13 th ranked team in the world and MGW doesn't play because Bellingham starts in his position, not Scott, who played exceptionally anyway. Anyone who thinks MGW is better than Bellingham needs to give their head a wobble.

04 Oct 2026 10:55:35
Haha i remember some on here questioning Bellingham before the world cup. 🌳.

05 Oct 2026 10:01:49
Bellingham? Going to win a Ballon Dor.

05 Oct 2026 11:14:22
Nah, Kane, he deserves it. 🌳.

05 Oct 2026 12:27:07
Scott had a stormer against Croatia and credit to him. I see though that's he's out for a least 2 months with injury.

03 Oct 2026 09:07:01
To turn our season round and maximise the potential of this squad of players we desperately need to turn the WFCG into a fortress, because at the moment teams are coming here and low blocking us and taking the points

It's becoming embarrassing especially against Coventry Glasner needs to look at his 3-4-2-1 system which works well away from home and adapt it at the City Ground

5 defenders 2 holding midfield players and only 3 attacking players is NOT the correct system at home simple as

Go 4 -2–3-1 and bring Hudson Odoi back into the side with Jesus and MGW as the 3 with Schlager and McAtee as the 2.

03 Oct 2026 09:52:01
Alternatively, if he is hell bent on 3 CBs, 5122, Austrian Larger holding, MGW and McAtee free roles/10s, leaving Jesus/Wood playing alongside Delap. We have Cunha and Murillo who could step out of defence and can play, lets use em. 🌳.

03 Oct 2026 10:43:45
That could work either way we need more attacking flair at home RRH.

03 Oct 2026 11:29:21
Not fussed about the flair tbh, just effectiveness, even Delap feeding off Woods knock downs would be better than what we've seen so far. Ndoye is useless at this level, needs shipping out in Jan imo, same with CHO if we aren't going to use him.

Alot also depends on Mr M's itchy trigger finger, if Glasner is untouchable, give him the squad and players he wants, January isn't to far away and expect us to be busy. 🌳.

03 Oct 2026 12:30:24
OG is limited in his tactics as he won't play wingers he relies totally on Munoz Williams Aina and Netz to provide the width and crosses

At home we don't need 3 CBS marking one striker get another attacking player on the pitch Kalimuendo Jesus or CHO.

03 Oct 2026 15:22:37
It's not like we've played the low blocking chip 🤣 munmad for me glasner football is so predictable. Glasner out. Horrible brings nothing but boredom. I cannot see any player really getting along with it. Lose the changing room your f kd. Big M, bless him. How many times does he shoot himself in the foot.

Vitor bless the laddie brought a more than better show. With for me the hearts of the players. I've watched better subbuteo games without flicking a player. And no excuses for the cloth to be played on not ironed. Plz plz plz reds. Your clutching. Can't you see it. WFCG I can tell agrees with me.

03 Oct 2026 15:55:04
Living the glasner mr m dream 😁.

03 Oct 2026 16:35:52
OG patently has looked at CHO in training and doesn't rate him, or at least in his plans for the Forest team, Hutchinson has already been moved on. McAtee, however he rates highly above Sangare, Yates and Dominguez. All of which were in and out of the team last year. OG I am sure also wanted Delap, who will turn out an asset if remains fit. It would be a great shame if Ania is thought surplus to requirements too and he is a commited player. When he was a centre back I believe against the Villians it was one of the best games so far, but he cannot get to the bye line and cross as neither can Williams but Munoz can.

Trent Alexander typifies a player suited to the OG style of play It staggers me that he has lost his place in the England team to a centre back tonight !
OG has made decisions about certain players and moved them on, that can only be good. Bids will come in for MGW particularly for a team that will be playing champion league football. If Forest move up the table he may stay but if Arsenal want him, he will go as that could improve his England chances.

03 Oct 2026 19:14:05
I'd definitely rather clutch at straws than give up. Agree with Glasner or not, blind faith beats defeatism every day of the week. 🌳.

03 Oct 2026 19:21:02
The dark nights and cold is closing in skegs my friend, the team and fans need a blanket of warmth,not a cold outlook. Wrap up in your summer of memories.

05 Oct 2026 12:28:58
Or you could cover both ends of the spectrum by being realistic and pragmatic RRH?
