I sometimes wonder if some of the people on here actually went to games pre-c.v.
Grabban was very good for us last season but like many had a shaky start this time.
He is a top striker at this level, proven goal scorer with a very good record.
He holds the ball up well and was one of the shining lights only a few months ago.
Our fans can be really stupid at times, getting on a players back never works and drives them out.
Why do we do this to our players?

It's a very valid point. I saw a comment on here the other day saying if we get £1m for Grabban it would be good business! This is a player that has just scored 20 goals, and at this level has a very good record. He might be having a dip in form, and hopefully that will change, but is a player we should be looking to keep and get the best out of.

Because, UpperT, we Forest fans are a fickle bunch. Best striker in the league when he's scoring but as soon as he misses a few chances and doesn't score for 5/ 6/ 7 games then it's time to get rid.
18 Nov 2020 16:16:14
He's could possibly be on the decline, however his goals last season put us within touching distance of the playoffs. he's certainly worth more than 1 million!

You could look at it another way. If its goals scored yes he acheived a decent level last season. But as for being selfish he is different class. How many times over the last couple of seasons could he have slipped someone else in for a certain goal but tried the spectacular. How many penalties has he missed. How many sitters has he casually passed to their keeper? Attitude goes a long way and i don't think his is very positive. Wherever he was loaned out he scored a few goals but no one pushed the boat out to sign him. Reasons on a postcard please.

Does this also apply to every player at the club who has a indifferent run of form? .
18 Nov 2020 17:58:00
20 Goals is more than decent as a lone striker mate.
Wish you were here!
😎😎😎
🤣🤣🤣.

Well he stopped scoring when we needed him as a lone striker. I refer to my full post.
18 Nov 2020 18:26:59
Personally believe he will be gone in jan, and 20 goals last year does not mean he will get 20 this year., with the form he was showing he would be lucky to get into double figures if he did play every game. It is a last chance payday in his career, he has done a good job for us and I will wish him well but I never felt he has affinity for any club he has been at, forest need to be finding a striker that has the potential for the premiership and grabban is not that man.

To be fair nobody’s been in the ground to get on his back.
Can’t knock him for the goals he scored last season but also have to agree with Rutland on points made. UpperT last season was last season and all players should be judged on what they have done this season so far. Just have a look back at the lowlights of the first 4 or 5 league games and tell me how Grabban hasn’t scored at least 3 or 4 goals given the chances he’s had. Can’t remember reading on here anybody wanting to get rid just fight for his place like any other player in the team. Don’t perform and you get dropped simple as that.

To be fair grabban has never been appreciated by most fans on here.
Personally very good striker and knows where the net is and doesn't deserve all this animosity.
What everyone forgets is he had to play last season even carrying knocks as we only had him.
Secondly he produced the goods and then one season ends another starts for footballers no prooer break and return fresh?
I read on here how goid knockheart and freeman are?
Maybe three years ago.
Thats football.
18 Nov 2020 21:00:23
Ps a post said he's 33 and firing blanks.
Im 63 the gun still fully loaded but don't come out the holsters as often for a shoot out. 🤣🤣🤣.
18 Nov 2020 21:15:14
He's done well for us in the past but he's passed is sell by date this season he doesn't look interested and now he has proper competition get rid in January we've had our best out of him goodbye ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜.
18 Nov 2020 21:48:16
Maybe he's knckered plus injured?
Freeman and knockheart been crap so far skeggs what's their excuse?
19 Nov 2020 10:36:03
Upper T, it is the same fickle fans who can't wait to the boot in on anyone we have when they hit a bit of bad form.
Grabban still has goals in him.
People were slating Taylor who we got on a free before he even kicked a ball.
Being positive on here is like a salmon swimming upstream unfortunately.

Gingerkidd you fail to understand the point of this site.
You never give a subject to create a thread.
You just criticise anyone that you deem being not positive enough for you.
The site would cease if we all had your attitude and pretented everything was rosey.
To have decussions and banter to have to be creative and sometimes mischievous.
Not just say the same thing about positive needs to be the main criteria and I'll criticise pisters for any sort of negative comment while never starting a debate or thread of your own.
Just saying.
20 Nov 2020 12:24:09
Not at all Grandad, just saying.
It's people slagging players and unnecessarily running them into the ground I don't like, if that's the kind of opinions you want to promote, basically hate, then you fill yer boots and enjoy yerself.
If you read from the start, I'm actually agreeing with the original poster of this thread.
20 Nov 2020 14:27:33
Yep and I'm a very good grandad.
Why don't you try starting a thread with an opinion.
