Luis has to play for us to have any chance.
I would probably start with Wood and bring Jesus on at half time. Personally i'd give Fred a crack.

That looks good to me, but I still doubt Murillo and Ruiz fit, so maybe Morato and Sangare will be used?

Based on history, we always seem top do worse against teams we are expected to beat, so I say we have a chance of a result. I honestly think we are going to spank someone soon.

The vultures are circling the City Ground after Elliott Anderson Man City Chelsea Man Utd and Liverpool want him
He is guaranteed first team football at Forest and is currently Englands first choice number 6 he should stay at Forest for at least this season and next but if they want him enough then 100m
Caicedo Wirtz and Fernandes are no better than him and he's 22.

Trouble is how our season may pan out, doesn't give him any reason to stay here!, shame if he does go, but if something doesn't happen soon he will be one of many in the exodus from Nottingham Forest.

He has come on massively since he joined us, amazing what confidence can do to someone. The Summer tournament has really helped him with that too I think.
Still only 22, but your right, if only he could shoot, he would be the complete midfielder, amazing talent.

My first visit to the city ground was 1949 so you can guess I am quite old but still compos mentis. I was a season ticket holder until a few years ago when a knee replacement operation has prevented me from assessing my front row seat in the Brian Clough stand so its now on TV or radio.
I have sky sports but Forest getting into Europe ends up on TNT. I refuse to pay another subscription I am unlikely to use. Okay, so I will listen on line to BBC radio Nottingham. As soon as pre match finishes they are not allowed to do commentary because I live in Lincolnshire.
The final straw is that the forthcoming game against Chelsea is on TNT. In other words only Sky gives me a chance to see the games but I have noticed they seem to be filling their schedule with championship matches, its probably cheaper.
At least when I die I am being cremated in my Forest shirt. Loyal to the end eh!
The final.

Great post that h2.
I'm a yad younger mate, first match 1968 and lucky enough to have a season ticket but I live in North Yorkshire and it takes over two hours to get to home matches. It's exhausting but I'll do until until I can't.
I'm with you entirely about TNT. I have sky but won't pay for anything else, not even radio. It's BBC for Christ's sake. We pay a licence already.
So it's home matches or Sky. I won't get to see us in Europe either unfortunately.

If you Google bbc radio Nottingham, they have most matches on and can listen via your browser. Then i connect my phone to the work van and happy days.
But yeah i pay for sky and TNT but only because i live so far away that making home games is stupidly hard nowadays. Often think i could get a season ticket for the price i pay for the sports subscriptions. 🌳.

Just thinking how many of us the site are a significant distance away. Does anyone live in W Bridgford? Same issue for me on Saturday: Motd highlights and wait for 'you tube' coverage. Sky has certainly lost its shine from years back-in Cricket as well. Ashes coming up? So I'll be following the text on my phone at that silly hour to play football! Backing Hutchinson to score!

Remember the comments on here about Tuchel (and England) being useless? How many of us have learned the lesson about writing off players and managers?
Anderson still looks like he can't shoot. If he could just start putting the ball in the net then the sky is the limit.

Seeing Spence in the England team reminded me of the team that won the playoffs. A player we couldn't keep or Garner ( starts for Everton ) or Samba ( on the bench for France ). Interestingly Yates remains. Henderson ( England ) we couldn't sign. Will we be regretting by the end of January, adding to that list. What happens next re AP will dictate who leaves.

I'd like to think we've moved on from most of them now, Spence being the exception but if i remember rightly he wasn't interested in a permanent move anyway.
If he's still not getting games at Arsenal maybe send Zinchenko back and get Lewis-Skelly instead for the second half of the season. 🌳.

Just been reading about Marco Silva, apparently he has no intention of signing a new contract with Fulham, several clubs from Saudi Arabia and ourselves are tracking him.
It will cost 8 million to get him out of his contract early which to me is an expensive mistake from our hierarchy but heyho its not my money. He's definitely Mr M's preferred choice, makes you wonder why we didn't just go after him before giving Nuno a new contract, mercenary yes but that's football these days.
If we take a kickin Saturday lunchtime the toxicity from our own fans will be telling. I really hope we don't and I'd like to see Ange get it right because i love his style of football but the definitely need to be more a balanced approach.
I worry that we will become the Watford of the midlands and through a rediculously high turn over of managerial staff have absolutely zero continuity.
Fingers crossed for Saturday. 🌳

I understand where your coming from RRH, but the supporters I believe have had enough and won't tolerate much more. have you seen any improvement with the last couple of games? I haven't but then I'm not a conicre like some. I found it interesting on the redevelopment of the ground, all very exciting but you can't move at half time at the back of the Trent end so where are the extra supporters supposed to go?. death trap as it is!.

14 Oct 2025 19:39:46
Last couple definitely not mate and your point about the City Ground is spot on. When there last season i thought the same and after going to Villa Park, with being a similar type of ground but improved and much better facilities and access i got an envious feeling. 🌳.

If we are going to make a change of coach, Silva or someone of his calibre should be appointed. As for Silva's 8 million release clause, cheap at double the price if he got us competing for Europe instead of a relagation battle!.

I think MR M should have found a more suitable site ( ladybay fields) comes to mind, plenty of space to build a new stadium without the restraints of where we are now. don't get me wrong l love the city ground but it's in the wrong place for what MR M wants to do. it will take years to complete, especially with the compulsory purchase of residential buildings around the ground, there will be appeals after appeals. I'd love to be proven wrong but I know how the legal system works.

Obviously Ange is due to carry on the carryon. I guess we just have to bear it. The Club has really suffered from owners who are just ego-bound, such a pity. The lads will try hard for us but the Club mess is what is defeating us once again.

Feels OK to point out the positives and also the negatives. If you want our Chairman to show his ‘passion’ by marching onto the field to berate our excellent manager, to hire Mark Clattenberg, to hire Edu, to sack Nuno, to hire Ange…. be as supportive as you want.
The only reason Ange hasn’t gone is because he was clearly Mr M’s own hire…. and that’s what makes this period difficult.
Will he stick or twist? If we twist and end up with Dyche, how will you feel about it then?

Guys - I hear what you're saying. However, re-read the original post from BS. To me, I interpret it that he is not talking about our owners per-se, but about their egos. Nothing about inward-investment and passion, but about the vanity-projects that have become the plague both within the PL and Championship with regards to football club ownership.
I would throw-out one question to you all. Do any of you truly believe Big M is in this for his longstanding and devout love of our great club? Of course he's not. He's a hard-nosed businessman who senses a big return on his investment. Forest is just another of his business interests - nothing more and nothing less.

15 Oct 2025 09:18:29
The new stand could have easily been extended and quickly but what M wanted and what has caused such a long delay is making it into a commercial project, in other words to make money.
The revenue from just more fans was not the aim.

That revenue pays for the redevelopment. That's my understanding. The money will stay with Forest.
